Complete 18+ Private ✪ Finweald Welcoming Song

[Crimson Ruby]

Ruby remained with her head lowered even as Vina started speaking, introducing her to the events of five years ago. One of which Ruby didn't went through, only starting to play the game two weeks before its initial closure. She couldn't imagine the horror of them meeting the true meaning of the third death, something that Ruby only truly understood recently.

Before her own losses, Ruby thought it was just a silly lie, a rumor that lingered for years due to a game that was far from legality.

Yet the truth was that it was a death game, and as Vina spoke, Ruby felt the similarities. The overwhelming amount of deaths, the feeling of impotence, and... Everything else, truly.

The gentle pull, however, brought Ruby's face up to meet Vina's.

Her eyes were filled with tears of regret, of sadness, of frustration. And yet, Vina was there, showing her own weak smile, but overflowing with good intentions and sympathy. Ruby half opened her mouth to respond, but Vina rested their foreheads together, making her slip a sigh as her eyes closed, averting down before returning to focus on Vina's once again.

"Vina... I..." Ruby reached a hand to her own chest.

"I know... I-I know we aren't perfect, but still... I... I don't know, I..." It still hurted, it still felt bad, and above everything.

The tears began rolling down, and her 'free' arm wrapped around Vina's, while Ruby slipped her forehead away, to bury her face on Vina's shoulder, as her other hand remained against her chest. "I-I was so scared... O-Of losing all of them... And now... They were my first friends since so long, Vina..." She sobbed, feeling her heart squeezing.

"And I am... I am so scared of losing the few ones that I still have... To think... I can't bring those I lost back either, I just... I just can't, Vina, I just can't!" She lamented, not being able to hold back any longer and breaking down in tears when the heartache became beyond unbearable.

Only a very optimistic person would believe that words alone could wipe away the grief and sorrow one felt after losing a loved one. Vina was cheerful and upbeat, even somewhat naive, but she wasn't so oblivious as to think that she could resolve Ruby's internal issues in but a few minutes of being supportive.

But the point of being supportive wasn't to resolve the issue and move on, it was to be there for others and help them when they needed it. For Vina forming friendships was as straightforward as meeting someone new, and if a friend of hers was hurting she'd do her best to help them without hesitation.

I know. It's okay Ruby.

She hugged Ruby tighter as the feline began to cling to her in earnest, her own eyes also growing tearier as she felt her friend's sorrow seep into her. Fortunately her tail was large enough to function as a third limb, allowing her to embrace Ruby even more fully. Rather than replying with more words she began to hum, a soft sound that shut out the city around them to create a protective bubble. It wasn't a happy or cheerful melody: it was melancholic and sorrowful, as if an attempt to turn Ruby's feelings into music.

Some might consider it better to counter sadness with joy, and there were times that this would be effective. But suppression of such deep grief as what Ruby was experiencing would only twist her up inside, so instead Vina would do her best to assist the feline dancer in letting all those pent-up emotions flow out. Her one hand continued to slowly move up and down Ruby's back, the other arm focusing on supporting the smaller female's frame. As Vina hummed several tears travelled down her cheeks as well, her heart beating hotly in her chest.

It was a lost cause, and Ruby knew it. The reality was that everything that went wrong couldn't be solved anymore. Who was dead couldn't just be brought back in a snap of fingers unless it was done at the time, and Ruby knew it very well.

Tears continued to flow down, and Ruby tightened her arm around Vina, eventually slipping her hand out of her chest and adding it into their embrace, feeling the only remote comfort she could have at that time that was the presence of the vixen.

Every inch of her emotions finally escaped from her mind and heart, translated into an uncontrollable crying that had a mix of sobs and incomprehensible words, lasting for minutes, reaching to a point Ruby was just dry and done with it.

It was a whole month holding it back, not having anyone to speak about it, nor to understand her.

As she gave a few last whimpers, if Ruby had any tears left there was no need to wipe them, as they would be dry and clean on her face by now. Her eyes were tired, and she quietly leaned away, keeping her hands on Vina's shoulders for a moment before slowly dropping them to her lap or to the side of her body.

"... I am..." Sorry, but it wasn't the right thing to say, she shook her head, her ears finally getting off the side of her head, and her tails curling around the other's. "Th-Thank you..." She corrected herself, still feeling the heartache, and the post-crying feeling. An uncomfortable warmth in her eyes and throat, along with an emptiness, a sour feeling that had died down to a sense of acceptance, even if she hated it.

She breathed, curling her lips as she adjusted her hair, with her gaze carefully trailing to see the sun starting to reach the horizon.

"... Are you... Did you cry as well..?" Ruby returned her eyes to Vina, feeling guilty.

"... H-Have you lost someone back then..?" She dared to ask.

@Vina Skysong

 

[Vina Skysong]

As Vina had expected, once Ruby began to cry it would take some time before she would finish. The feline dancer had clearly been holding a lot of sorrow inside of herself, so now that the songstress was coaxing it out of her it was like a dam had been broken. Bottling up emotions twisted people up on the inside, so while it might be unpleasant in the moment Vina considered the alternative of doing nothing worse.

But she couldn't just do something like this without accepting the consequences, so even when Ruby answered her embrace with a hug that was tight enough to be uncomfortable the vixen didn't mention it, accepting it as part of what she had to endure in exchange for helping Ruby in a perhaps somewhat underhanded manner.

Singing her song, attuning herself to Ruby's emotions, brought about its own consequences: to align her song with Ruby's emotions she had to understand the dancer's feelings as if they were her own, which meant that even as this deep sorrow flowed out of Ruby in the form of tears and cries some of it also rolled through Vina's being, making her tears flow almost as freely as Ruby's even if she kept her voice steady and her embrace warm.

Once the crying came to an end and Ruby pulled back Vina would loosen her embrace enough to not hinder the redhead's movements, her own song also dying off as it had served its purpose. However, she didn't exactly break the hug either, still providing support through light physical contact.

Don't worry about it~

Closing the distance once more she briefly rubbed her forehead against Ruby's in an affectionate manner before pulling her head back so they could look each other in the eyes. Vina's eyes had become a faint red from the tears, although otherwise her expression looked more restful than anguished. Her own ears twitched before standing up straight, one hand moving down to stroke the tail which was now curled around her own.

When we fought the corrupted insect? In a manner of speaking, but not in the same way you did. (She tilted her head.) But that's not why I was crying. Most of my songs are aimed to share my own feelings with the audience, but this time I was singing to match your feelings, which means I have to understand them. (The wind blowed past them, rustling their hair as Vina's voice no longer warded them.) Remember when I said that I understand? I really do Ruby.

She tried to wipe away the remnants of her tears with the back of her hand, her smile regaining its usual brightness even if it still had a melancholic edge.

I know it isn't much, and I wish I could do more, but for many people having someone to share your grief with makes it easier. I hope you don't mind~

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

Just as soon as they took some distance, Vina closed in an affectionate comforting, making Ruby close her eyes as she nuzzled on her for a moment before their foreheads parted, and her gaze went up to her's. Her tails didn't react too abruptly to the touch this time, though Ruby's lowered ears rose for a moment, especially when hearing about Vina's explanation.

"I see... So... You are crying because you are trying to understand their emotions..." That meant Vina was incredibly empathetic, enough to feel emotions from others almost as if they were her own.

Ruby kept her eyes on Vina's, with her lips pursing for a moment as she vaguely peered down. "I don't mind..." She said, carefully slipping one of her hands away to rest on her chest, feeling the heartache soothing, even if her heart continued to beat erratically.

Her tail wrapped around Vina's firmly, squeezing as she once again rested her forehead on Vina's, keeping her eyes closed.

"Thank you."

@Vina Skysong

 

[Vina Skysong]

Yes~ (She fell silent for a moment before continuing.) I've always been sensitive to the feelings of others. Music just helps me focus on it~

Her gaze was a bit more uncertain as Ruby appeared to be considering the situation. Not everyone enjoyed Vina trying to empathise with them: there were those who considered it intrusive or questioned why the vixen would be that involved. Sometimes people preferred to be left alone. But it seemed that Ruby appreciated the gesture, at which point Vina's smile returned quickly.

As their foreheads met once again she raised one hand and rested it on Ruby's shoulder, closing her eyes as well as she took a deep, slow breath.

Glad to help~

The day was slowly coming to an end, and while the two of them were sitting in a secluded place they could still hear the city beginning to wind down. Even during the night there would still be activity, but many of the people who'd wandered the streets throughout the day were retreating to the indoors where they were protected against the chill of night. Vina felt a small shiver travel up her spine as the wind brushed against her exposed skin.

I didn't think we were here for that long, but it looks like the evening is arriving soon. (She opened her eyes.) I'm guessing you'll want to logout for the night, but how about we look for a place to stay together~?

Whether to let your bodies remain or disappear when offline came down to personal preference, although Vina definitely preferred the former.

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

Ruby blinked, noticing Vina's shiver and twitching her ears as the suggestion to go for an inn came.

"I will have to take care of my sister soon, so it may be for the best that I should log out soon..." Ruby admitted, gently taking Vina's hand and helping her up, before letting her go for a moment to take off her cloak and wrap it around her shoulders to protect her from the chilly winds of the evening.

"Let's get moving?" She asked, her smile being faint as thoughts still rushed deep in her mind, but still being genuine for having someone like her around to give the comfort she needed.

As soon as the vixen was ready, Ruby would walk side by side with her, until they ever got into the nearest inn, slipping the gold for a good room, with some extra coins for a bottle of wine, that would hopefully help with the warming up in the room.

@Vina Skysong

 

[Vina Skysong]

Of course~! It wouldn't do to keep your sister waiting~ (She heartily agreed with Ruby, then tilted her head.) How young is she?

That Ruby would have to take care of her sister had several possible answers, but Vina wouldn't draw any conclusions until her friend had explained the situation herself. If she wanted to, that is. The vixen would accept Ruby's help in getting up, looking rather surprised when the feline dancer went so far as to share her cloak.

Thank you~ I think I can hear an inn nearby, so let's go.

The trip to the nearest inn wouldn't take very long, with Vina using her wind-attuned hearing to direct them to a building which was still lively even at this time of day. Inside they would indeed find the common room of an inn, and fortunately enough they were early enough that they could get a good room for an affordable price. The bottle of wine Ruby bought as well made Vina smirk, although she didn't comment on it until they were already upstairs.

Taking off Ruby's cloak and tossing it onto the bed Vina would take Ruby by the hand, spin around, and sit down on the bed, pulling on her friend's arm to make her join the vixen.

We shouldn't drink too much of this, but a little bit can't hurt~ (Taking the bottle of wine she whistled, the cork flying off as if launched, then offered it to Ruby.) You first~

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

"My sister is fourteen. A bit childish too, for her age." She smiled faintly.

Pushing the door open, Ruby was surprised when Vina took a smooth swirl as she pulled the crimson cat, making her slip a surprised "Meow-?!" With wide open eyes as her butt sank on the bed right next to Vina, blinking and casting a glance before chuckling faintly.

"Excited, aren't you..?" Ruby asked, lowering her body and untying her long sandals, untying them before kicking them away from her feet, snatching two glasses as she turned to Vina, allowing her to fill both of them and offering the second glass to Vina.

Her tails swayed, and her gaze turned to Vina. "Why we can't? It isn't like our real bodies are going to be affected..." She said, unsure of the reason why the vixen would want to limit their fun.

There was still memories rushing through Ruby's mind, and she somewhat wanted to get rid of them.

@Vina Skysong

 

[Vina Skysong]

She'll have plenty of opportunity to be an adult later, so it sounds like she's pretty smart to enjoy her childhood while it lasts~ (She smiled back.) Especially since she has a big sister to look after her~

Vina chuckled at Ruby's response to being pulled onto the bed, the white-haired vixen nodding without any shame in response to Ruby's words. Even from up here she could hear the sound of people drinking, eating, and chatting in the common room, although most of her attention is on the red-haired feline sitting right next to her.

Spending time with a friend is something I'm always excited for~

Following Ruby's example she began to untie her boots, kicking them loose and letting her feet breathe as she filled the two glasses before putting aside the bottle and accepting the glass offered to her. She tilted her head in response to Ruby's question, looking thoughtful for a moment before shrugging.

Waking up from the game after getting drunk inside of it can be jarring, but you're right. (Her tail swished behind her as she lifted her glass.) Bottoms up then~

She didn't waste any time savouring the wine, tilting her head back to empty the glass before letting out a pleased sigh.

Not bad~! (Grabbing the bottle she refilled her glass.) If you need to get back to take care of your sister we might as well make the most of what little time we've got left~

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

Ruby smiled warmly. "Yeah... Especially now..." Her gaze lowered to the filled glass before she took a healthy sip of it. Family problems were always troublesome, but she was happy with her current situation, in general. It was much better than being chained into things you didn't believe on, and now she had the opportunity to give the same freedom to her sister.

Her drink was long gone by the time Vina mentioned waking up after being drunk in game was jarring, something that made Ruby raise an eyebrow. "It is just a small phantom drunkness." Her ears twitched, and her tails swayed as she moved the glass closer to the bottle, expectantly waiting for it to be refilled.

"Make the most..." She mimicked, peering up to Vina and gently swaying the filled glass on her hand.

"And should we do it?" Ruby mused, taking another sip, this time slower as she listened to Vina's answer.

@Vina Skysong

 

[Vina Skysong]

Vina placed her hand on Ruby's shoulder as the red-haired feline hinted that life at home wasn't without its challenges either. Vina herself had been living alone for some time now, as her free-spirited nature might make her a pleasant companion but a somewhat bothersome roommate.

Just be there to help her and everything will be fine~

Her confidence wasn't based on anything, but Vina didn't need evidence to be optimistic. As Ruby rebuked her comment regarding drinking before logging out the songstress shrugged and refilled her friend's glass.

You sound like you know what you're talking about, so I won't bother you with unnecessary worries~ (She chuckled.) Let's drink to our heart's content and let things happen as they do~

She hummed softly as she looked out of the window, night's chill making for a refreshing contrast against the heat of a lively inn. The vixen drummed the heels of her bare feet against the ground before crossing her legs and leaning backwards, supporting her upper body with her free hand as she smiled at Ruby.

Since you have to log out soon most of the really fun stuff would take too long, but let's at least make sure to empty that bottle~ (She took a sip from her own glass before continuing.) But we could make a game out of it. How about... (She took a moment to go through her ideas.) We both fill our glass and try to empty it halfway in one go. The one closest to a half-full glass wins the round and the other has to remove a piece of clothing~

Between the two of them it didn't take a genius to see which one of them had more articles of clothing to lose, and thus who was at a disadvantage here. Vina, however, didn't seem to mind the handicap.

I prefer sleeping naked anyway so it'll be a good way to prepare ourselves for logging out~

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

Ruby smiled faintly, nodding at the encouragement and continuing to take her drink, with her tails swaying as the vixen continued to speak. "Exactly, let's drink all the way to sleep." The beastfolk's ears twitched, surely agreeing that their activity should involve being done with that bottle by the end of the night.

What she didn't expect, however, was to be suggested such a deviant game, something that almost made the girl choke in her drink, wiping her lips as she blinked twice. "That's... A strange game." Ruby tilted her head, frowning and pondering for a moment as she stared at her glass, then picking up the bottle and filling it up once again before gazing Vina up and down.

"I kind of already can see everything now though." She shrugged, filling Vina's glass if she needed before resting the bottle by the nightstand.

"... Whenever you are ready." Ruby said, taking a moment to focus and drinking it down, managing to halt her gulp in a near perfect half.

Drinking Game

Ruby and Vina are engaging in a strip drinking game. The objective is to drink and halve the glass' content as precisely as possible. The one that has their drink closest to the half is the winner of the round, and the loser must remove one piece of clothing.

For that, Ruby and Vina must roll an 1d100, the closest to 50 wins the cycle, having a round of posts for the undressing and then starting another drinking cycle.

[Vina Skysong]

Vina had expected Ruby to be caught off-guard by her suggestion, and she wasn't let down by the feline's reaction. The vixen grinned widely as Ruby recovered from her surprise, only nodding in agreement as the dancer rightfully pointed out the unusual nature of the songstress's suggestion.

Strange maybe, but much more fun than just seeing who can drink more. After all, now we both get to enjoy a drink and a show~

She winked at her friend, who despite her comment didn't appear to be opposed to the idea. When Ruby pointed out Vina's clothes didn't leave much for the imagination anyway the vixen blinked, then let out a clear laugh.

It's not only about what's there, but also the act of the reveal~ Besides, doesn't what's already on display make you want to see what's still hidden~?

To be alluring was more complex than just having a great body. Sure, a naked beauty was great in and of itself, but the right clothes incited the imagination, making the audience more eager than if you'd strode in wearing nothing at all.

With both of their glasses filled Vina raised hers, a smirk on her face before she put the glass to her lips and began to drink. Breaking contact she licked her lips, then glanced from her own drink to Ruby's. Both their drinks were remarkably close to the halfway point, the vixen holding her own next to her friend's to compare the amount.

Hmmm...~ It's hard to say, but I think you won that round~

[Crimson Ruby]

"You know... You are right." Ruby nodded in agreement to the reasoning. It was certainly far more fun to have something on stakes and to enjoy than simply making a direct competition to see who drinks the most before falling faint.

Ruby then tilted her head, looking at Vina up and down as she mentioned the display and the potential desire of seeing the little that was left to see. "Hmm, well, it is more tempting, that's true." She muttered with faint rosy cheeks, rubbing her chin as she rose an eyebrow and twitched her ears in curiosity.

"I think I will need to fight hard to win, then." She challenged, leaning in to see their glasses and squinting as she allowed her enhanced sight to study.

"Hmm..." Ruby leaned away. "Yeah, I've won, but it was just barely." She nodded, starting to refill their glasses as her tails swayed, watching Vina attentively.

@Vina Skysong

 

[Vina Skysong]

Drinking games which were based around who could hold the most liquor tended to make everyone regret their involvement afterwards, unless they had access to restorative magics or just were unusually resilient. While Vina could use her magic to undo the aftereffects of binge drinking she'd rather avoid the issue entirely, especially if she could get much more fun games going in the process.

See? Works like a charm~

It might simply be the drink talking, but it looked like Ruby was more playful than she seemed once she opened up a little.

I guess I'll have to remove one of my clothes then~ (She stood up from the bed, stepping forward so she had some space before spinning around to face her friend.) I don't have a lot on me, and we should keep the best for last, so...~

Her hands moved behind her back as she gave Ruby a cheeky grin. She was only wearing two articles of clothing, and one of them was the skirt which she'd keep for last. What protected her upper torso was durable enough to count as adventurer's gear, but at the end of the day it was little more than a low-cut top, almost a bra depending on how you looked at it.

With a motion that was most certainly practised she untied the strings that kept her top together, gripping the released edges between her fingertips and slowly bringing them to the front, the material still blocking Ruby's view of Vina's breasts while at the same time blatantly hanging there, waiting for the vixen to let go so the fabric could fall to the ground and reveal what was obscured.

Vina paused for a moment, as if hesitating, before sticking out her tongue and winking at the feline as she let her top fall to the ground, her breasts now fully exposed.

There we go, that's one down~

She twirled as if to show off her increasingly nubile form before landing on the bed next to Ruby once more, smiling brightly as she accepted her refilled glass.

Thanks Ruby~ So, did you like the show? Too much, too little?

@Crimson Ruby

 

[Crimson Ruby]

When Vina spoke of removing her clothes, finally standing up and spining toward her direction, was when Ruby finally realized that yes, this was a serious game. The cat girl blinked a few times, with her cheeks turning slightly redder as the other girl played along, letting the act linger for so long.

... Long enough for Ruby to think she wasn't going to actually do it, especially when she had hesitated.

Ruby's expressions had frozen, staring intently until Vina finally released it, letting the piece fall as she kept her eyes wide open. "Uhm--" She blinked.

How she could say it...

... It was bigger even bigger without the 'bra'...

Ruby's tails swayed excitedly, betraying the face she tried to keep remotely straight, even if it faltered as the girl neared. "I'd say..." Ruby paused for a moment, pursing her lips before deciding to slip honesty- "... I liked it... It was just the right amount, even." She cleared her throat, taking her glass and frowning.

She was used to take bath with other women back in the temple, so why that was making her feel so--

"... Another round then?" Ruby asked, not taking long for her to go for another sip... This time, not as precise as the previous one, something that made her swallow as soon as she noticed.

[Vina Skysong]

Ruby's reaction was one which Vina had experienced more than once, but which always served to entertain her. Someone thought she was joking around, only to find that the shameless vixen was actually exposing herself like it was the most normal thing in the world. And more than that, they often betrayed how much they enjoyed it in the process.

Vina's chest wasn't the largest, but she still had enough to show off, perky breasts drawing the eyes of her feline friend as the songstress chuckled. As she sat down next to her friend she reached out, softly brushing her fingers past one of those tails which was being a lot more honest than Ruby's face, wiggling like she'd seen a tasty treat and wanted to pounce upon it.

Good, that means I haven't lost my touch yet~ (Her smile turned into a mischievous smirk.) And thank you for the compliment~

Ruby might not have said it out loud, but Vina could tell what had gone through the dancer's mind in those moments. So far as she was concerned that was a compliment in itself, even unvoiced.

The druidess nodded as Ruby suggested they do another round, hefting her glass.

You're on!

She quickly followed Ruby's example, putting the glass to her lips and tilting her head back to let the smooth liquid slide down her tongue and into her gullet. However, where Ruby was trying to avoid her turn, Vina instead grasped the opportunity willingly.

With how her friend had reacted to the first reveal, she wanted to tease the dancer a little more.

As she pulled the glass from her lips two things would stand out: the first was that she hadn't completely straightened her head, several red droplets slipping out of the glass to land onto her breastbone, where they followed the curves of her figure to slide down the inner slopes of her breasts and into her cleavage.

The second thing was that her glass was almost empty.

Hmmm~

Vina smacked her lips, her cheeks slightly flushed by this point, whether it was from excitement or the alcohol that was spreading through her. Noticing her spillage she swiped her finger through the valley between her mounds, collecting the liquid and very unsubtly drawing attention to her bare front before cleaning her finger with a single lick and turning her head to look at Ruby's glass.

Looks like you're the lucky one again Ruby~

[Crimson Ruby]

Seeing the way Vina drank her wine brought another swallow out of Ruby, with her tail swaying back and forth, this time a bit more exaggerated.

A frown crossed her face when she noticed the liquid being drained from the glass shamelessly, nearly emptying it and making Ruby half open her mouth, squinting at Vina before leaning in with a protesting gaze. "You are... You are doing this on purpose, aren't you?" She said, letting out a sigh and shaking her head, holding a breath as Vina continued to tease and seduce her with gestures that emphasized the exposed breasts.

Ruby's eyes tried to avert for a moment, but eventually she peeked, going up to Vina's eyes and then down once again.

"You are a bit dangerous, aren't you?" She sighed, cheeks reddened like tomato, but she didn't back down.

"Honestly..." Ruby shrugged. "My luck started when I've heard your beautiful singing."

@Vina Skysong

 

[Vina Skysong]

Vina supposed she hadn't done a very good job hiding the fact that she lost the game on purpose in the second round, the way Ruby quickly protested that the vixen couldn't possibly have emptied the glass that far by accident. She gave Ruby an innocent look before breaking into a giggle.

Sorry~ It's just really fun to tease people! Besides, the game was my idea, so no problem if I decide I enjoy losing, right?

While she was beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol she was still attentive enough to notice the way Ruby couldn't help but look at her chest, even if the songstress did need to encourage her a little with her display. Her azure eyes were alight with a carefree joy, although she shook her head quickly when Ruby accused her of being dangerous.

Dangerous? Me? I wouldn't hurt a fly~ I'm just fun-loving, and I do my best to make sure my friends have fun as well~

Turning her upper body so she was facing Ruby properly she leaned forward, her glass forgotten for the moment as she gazed into Ruby's eyes from a distance which could be considered provocative, even if there wasn't an ounce of aggression involved.

I'm only a danger to restraint and modesty, and do you need either of those when you're having fun with your friends?

She held Ruby's gaze for several seconds before leaning back, tilting her head back to swallow what little wine still remained in her glass.

Now then, since I lost it's time for me to pay the price, and for you to enjoy your prize~

Placing her glass down she stood up, letting out a cheerful whistle as once again she stepped away from the bed to make some space. Her large white tail wagged behind her, betraying her eagerness even before she twirled around to face Ruby, completely ignoring how her lively movements were making her perky chest bounce along.

Her skirt, unlike a traditional design, made no attempt at covering her legs. Instead it consisted of two parts, a small front part that obscured her crotch, and the larger back part that wrapped around her waist to connect to the front part on both sides, leaving two slits all the way to the waist for her legs to poke through. Even if both parts went well past her knees it was clear that the design was more similar to a loincloth than a proper skirt, even if it lacked the barbarism that was usually associated with the term loincloth.

And aside from being quite revealing it was also really easy to remove. The two parts were connected with two clasps, one on each side of the front, and releasing either one was enough for the whole to come undone. Sliding her hands down from her sides to her hips Vina hooked her thumbs behind the waist of her skirt, right where the clasps were hidden on the inside, where the slits allowed the tips of her thumbs to show themselves.

Humming a melodious tune, something you might hear while someone was happily working away at a task they found joy and satisfaction in, Vina teasingly tugged at her skirt with her thumbs, pushing the fabric lower and lower, side by side, millimetre by millimetre, until the breadth of her hips didn't allow them to go any lower. Whether unconsciously or intentionally, the vixen's waist swayed slightly with each tug, the movement made much more apparent by her wagging tail matching the rhythm.

Once she'd reached the limit of how far her skirt could go Vina finally put an end to the impromptu show. One hand gripped, experience allowing her to undo the clasp in one swift motion where otherwise it might have taken seconds of fumbling. Now the only thing holding her skirt together was her hand, and as Vina leaned forward she let go of the fabric to spread both arms as if bowing before an audience.

With nothing holding it up her skirt began to slide further down, fabric parting to reveal more bare skin, with nothing beneath it to obscure the vixen's nubile form. Like a curtain the cloth fell away, clinging to Vina's tail for a moment before an inwards flick freed it from that obstacle as well, the skirt pooling around Vina's legs as the songstress straightened up.

That's it then, I've run out of clothes~

Resting one hand on her hip Vina tilted her head as she smiled at Ruby, her tail curling around to teasingly obscure her private parts before swishing back behind her legs. While she was enjoying this a lot, as was evident of her reddened cheeks and the eagerness with which she pulled such stunts, her smile was completely sincere.

And thank you for complimenting my singing. That means a lot to me Ruby~
