Chapter 18: Bathtime
Lightning walked briskly through the muggy streets of Uradana, the dark sky hanging over head and causing the small little area to be almost pitch black though there was some small lanterns along the streets to at least bring some light into the dark streets. There were faint lights from above though they were only slight; the city of Uradana was deathly quiet at night, it was so quiet you could almost hear the sounds of the people sleeping in building's breathing. Or the loud snores that some people made as they slept. Sometime Lightning could hear loud chatter in some nights like they were having some kind of party, other nights it was as silent as this night.
The soldier mentally grunted as she glanced to her left, to see Andraste walking beside her while Lia took the lead. She honestly wouldn't be surprised if Lia did love this mysterious woman, she had a beauty of a goddess and a kind atmosphere around her. Much unlike herself who was cold and assertive. Wait why was she comparing herself with Andraste? It wasn't like she cared that much what Lia thought of her... right?
The pink haired woman blinked as Andraste turned her head to look at Lightning, the soldier blushing a bit. Without realizing it, she had been staring at the slender woman, though Andraste simply smiled at her. Lightning swiftly glanced away from her though she listened to the soft voice of the woman beside her.
"...I hope Lia has been treating well.. I apologize, she normally doesn't kidnap anyone." Andraste said softly, her hair flowing in behind her though remained neat and composed as she walked smoothly along the dirty streets of Uradana.
Lightning glanced at her again then closed her eyes a bit. "She's been alright I guess..." she scoffed softly and she listened to Andraste give a soft chuckle.
"Hmm... I see she's taken a great liking to you." Andraste said as she looked foreword at Lia who was humming a bit cheerfully.
Lightning blinked a bit at her words. She honestly didn't think that Lia liked her very much, she was the thief's prisoner after all and it seemed like she treated everyone else the same. She was just probably being nice to the soldier to keep her quiet and to behave, despite all the talk they have made and how good of a listener Lia was whenever she told the thief about her worries. As the days went by, regretably, she spoke with Lia about her feelings with Snow and Serah, her friends, her job, her life, and even a bit on her parents. And Lia had given a honest answer, for she didn't see any lies in the thief's soft gaze. Nor how Lia seemed to restrain herself from looking at Lightning's naked body or touching any inappropriate areas, a thought came that maybe she just wasn't interested in girls but she had said she loved someone named Aliria, a girl.
"Why do you say that?" Lightning asked softly, continuing to to look at her and simply looked at the back of Lia. Ignoring how her body shivered at the sight of Lia's curves that outlined in the small light from the lanterns.
Andraste seemed to pause for a moment. "... the air around her changes a bit around you. Sure she acts easy-going and cheerful all the time. But... I believe she finds you intriguing." she explained softly, amusement sparkling a bit in her eyes.
The soldier blinked then blushed a bit at Andraste's answer. Intriguing? She was intriguing? She looked at Lia again for a long moment, eyes half closed in thought; filled with thoughts of the notorious thief. Wondering what the thief really thought of her; she wasn't really all that attracting and it seemed quite a few people around her found the thief quite tempting.
As Lightning was lost in her thoughts, Lia suddenly came to stop and looked around suddenly, the soldier watching as she could see some of the hairs on Lia bristle a bit. What was wrong? Was there a thug out there or something? The soldier glanced at Andraste who gave a slight sigh, as if knowing what was happening then heard a loud obnoxious squeal of delight. It sounded louder then a screeching wyvern in agonizing pain. The soldier's eyes then widened as someone came running out of a building from the left and tackled Lia, wrapping their arms around the thief's neck.
Losing her balance from the great force, Lia grunted then fell to the right, slamming into the ground and lied down her back. Groaning a bit at the person so pressed up against her.
This was a girl. Maybe around eighteen, she had golden brown hair with striking emerald eyes. Her skin had a nice light tan and her body was slender like Andraste's though had more muscle in her legs and arms. She wore a small white tank top, that showed off her chest, with red trimmings along the collar and down the middle of the tank top along with the edge of the straps. She had tight looking dark blue jean's with black leather shoes. She wore golden earrings and a golden bracelet on her left wrist. She was about a inch shorter then Lia.
The girl's body was tightly clamped onto Lia's, practically choking her as the girl snuggled into Lia with joy.
Lightning did not like this at all.
The soldier let a silent growl as her own hair bristled with anger and eyes narrowed in jealously at the position. Who the hell was she and what was she doing with her Lia? Wait... her? Whatever right now she didn't give a damn and just wanted to rip this girl to shreds.
Andraste, sensing Lightning's 'unhappiness' of the situation, she decided to speak out. "Flora you really mustn't tackle Lia like that... you could hurt her." she said softly, watching as Lia gave a slight sigh.
Flora glanced at Andraste but simply held and snuggled into Lia closer, making the thief grunt more in slight pain as Flora's iron hug gripped her neck.
"But I just missed her so much! How are you Lia? You didn't get hurt during your trip did you? Oh I'm so happy to see you in one piece!" Flora said happily then did something that at the same time, hurt Lightning's heart and angered her even more. She kissed Lia right on the lips.
It was brief though since Lia quickly pushed her off and slipped away from her grip and stood up, taking a few breaths of air then calmed herself and raised a eyebrow at Flora who stood also and was smiling in pure glee.
"Flora I told you a million times to stop doing stuff like this. I told you before I'm not interested." Lia said, looking at the younger girl firmly though Flora didn't seem fazed by it.
Flora giggled. "Oh your just modest. One day your walls will come down and you will be all mine. We'll live together and I'll cook you breakfast, lunch and dinner and we'll adopt lots of kids and..." she said as she ranted on dreamily, eyes sparkling with delight.
Lia simply stared at her and sweat dropped, sighing as Flora went on and on about their future together. Lightning was staring with a 'what the fuck' expression on her face and Andraste was simply smiling and also sweat dropping at the situation.
Who did this girl think she is? Did she not just hear what the hell Lia just fricken said? She said she wasn't interested! Oh Lightning just really wanted to punch her at the moment just to get her to shut the hell up. Since when did people just go glomping people like that? If she was Lia she'd be yelling at the girl but no Lia is just standing there, forcing a fricken smile and being polite like nothing was wrong. What in the fucking god damn shit of a Behemoth?
Obviously, Lightning wasn't happy at all. Defiantly a different reaction from when Andraste came into the picture.
At some point, Flora must of noticed the soldier and slightly narrowed her eyes and Lightning thought she saw a flash of... jealously and malevolent intentions flash in her eyes but it soon disappeared as she smiled and looked at Lia.
"Hey Lia... who's this?" Flora asked with a sugar coated voice that made Lightning want to vomit with disgust.
Lia blinked softly, seeming oblivious to the rising tension in the air. "Oh this is Lightning. She's a friend." she stated a bit firmly but still held a smile.
"Oh... that's nice." Flora said, Lightning catching a hint of venom in the voice. "So where you going?" she asked.
The three women hesitated. Lightning defiantly did not want this girl along to a bathhouse, Andraste was probably concerned for both Lightning and Lia, and Lia probably didn't want to get drooled and huggled to death in the bath. Though the young girl soon answered the question for her self, or at least damn close.
"Oh! I know what we should do! Let's go to the bathhouse since it opened up recently! That way we can get clean instead of being all filthy!" Flora squealed excitedly, Lightning silently growling as Lia twitched but sighed.
"We we're actually thinking of going there our-.." Lia started but Flora interrupted by clamping onto Lia's left arm and gave a happy cheer.
"Great! Let's go!" Flora said happily as she practically dragged Lia.
Andraste and Lightning blinked slowly and glanced at each other then soon followed. Great.. this was going to be a very long annoying night wasn't it? Lightning watched as Lia repeatedly gently pushed Flora away from her but the young girl just clamped right back onto the thief's arm. Yes. Yes it was going to be a very long annoying night.
When they arrived at the bathhouse, Lia was pretty much dragged into the place. Lightning had been grumbling the whole way while Andraste had explained who exactly Flora was.
Flora was a girl whose parents died when she was fifteen and had been heartbroken since no one else had shown her kindness and she did not want to be adopted and so she ran away and ran till she came to Uradana. Lia was the one who comforted her during her time of need, giving encouragement and a place to call home. Since then Flora had a big crush on Lia, and was very possessive of her, despite Lia saying that she wasn't interested in the younger girl.
What a mindless girl.
Lightning followed in, the place was instantly felt warm and comfortable, as the clean light blue tiled floor spread around, some washing booths sitting there with soup and buckets with a mirror. The bath was large, probably could fit over twenty people as it set in the back. Beforehand, Andraste had explained that there was two bathhouses, one for women and the other for men.
Lightning then blushed scarlet as she saw Lia strip before her, though angered as Flora was attempting to help Lia strip though the thief gently said she could do it. Flora had already threw her clothes off and set them in a bucket for safe keeping. The soldier watched as Andraste soon slipped her clothes off then blushed as Lia glanced at her, now fully naked. The thief said nothing but seemed to be wondering if this was okay for her.
The pink haired woman wasn't sure about this, though for one thing, Lia's calm reassuring eyes made her relaxed, and secretly... she didn't want to keep her eyes off of Flora with Lia in a bath together naked.
So, the soldier slowly slipped off her clothes a bit nervous. It wasn't like she wasn't naked before with Lia... though they were bathing now and with two other people no less! But she did need a nice bath, despite her resentment of bathing with other people.
Lia had politely adverted her gaze and walked to the water and slipped into it, the others already inside. Lightning slowly walked over and slipped inside as well, almost letting out a soft delighted groan as she felt the warm water wash over her skin. Oh did it feel good...
Though her silent delight soon came to a end as she watched Lia wash herself. Her scars showing though she didn't care... she was still beautiful in her eyes... damn it... as Lightning stared at the mysterious creature, her mind was starting play tricks. Thoughts came to mind... dirty thoughts and those of the thief. Disgusting! Vulgar mind! She shouldn't be thinking like that! She was Lightning Farron! Though the thoughts just kept rushing in, making her shift and feeling hotter then the bath was making.
Then she snarled as Flora came over to Lia, much to the thief's dismay.
"Here Lia let me wash your back." Flora said cheerfully.
Lia raised a eyebrow. "I don't think so... the last time I let you, you washed other places I wished you wouldn't." she answered, making Lightning blush more and almost shivered at the image that popped to mind.
"Oh come on Lia just let me." Flora said, taking her right arm gently, a hand 'accidentally' placing itself on Lia's right breast which made the thief twitch.
Lightning had enough at the point and now she was steaming with anger. Well, at least it was either anger or the hot water, though she was so angry that she could of swore the water boiled from it. She didn't even glance at Andraste who was now speaking to her.
"Lightning, calm down Flora is just really friendly toward Lia and..." Andraste started but stopped as the soldier ignored her and wadded over to the two other women, as Lia was trying to pry Flora off of her.
Lightning then grabbed Lia's other arm and her eyes narrowed at Flora, ignoring how Lia blinked in shock at Lightning's action.
"Would you get your hands off of her? Can't you tell that she doesn't want you?" Lightning said icyily that would make anyone shiver as she went into back to commando mode.
This did make the younger girl shiver but she dared glare right back at Lightning, much to the soldier's surprise.
"Well that's just your assumption, you can't say what she wants. Me and her known each other way longer then you so how about you be the one to let go of her." Flora said with a huff, pulling Lia toward her.
Lightning growled at the girls statement, jerking Lia's arm toward her. "Oh right I'm not the one being pushed away because I'm so damn clingy." she retorted.
Flora's eyes narrowed, jerking Lia back toward her. "Well at least I look normal instead of some pink haired freak." she retorted.
Lia was jerked back and forth between the two, grunting a bit at each time. "...I dunno whether to happy or afraid right about now." she said though the two fighting women ignored her, continuing to jerk her around. "Ladies... Ladies! I'm glad I'm so liked but I rather not be torn in two." she said, voice a bit strained from her arms throbbing and her head getting dizzy.
Once again the two women ignored as they continued throwing insults at one another.
Andraste stared at them for a long moment though Lightning took no notice. She was too busy being angry at this spoiled little smart mouth brat! Who did she think she was talking to her like that?
The soldier finally caught some of Andraste's words as she called out to them.
"U-um... Lightning... Flora.. please stop." Andraste said gently though the fighting women continued.
Andraste then yelled out. "I said stop!" she said as if it was a order by a annoyed royal queen, forcing the two women to stop and look at her.
"What?" they both said in union then glared at one another.
Andraste coughed a bit then pointed down in the water in between them. "You're making Lia drown." she answered calmly.
The two paused then both looked down, no longer seeing Lia, only her arms sticking out in a uncomfortable angle and bubbles bubbling the surface of the water around where Lia's body use to be. Shit... they hadn't noticed that they accidently pushed Lia down under water during their little spat.
"Oh my Maker Lia! Hold on we'll get you out!" yelled Flora flailing.
Lightning stared. Ya... interesting night...
