So uh.. the Variant Dungeon made me have to rewrite some stuff involving Nanamo, along with her double apparently being her cousin.. yeah, I'm gonna have to rework some shit… like A LOT of shit. Like the names I put for Nanamo's parents for example, along with my original plan that I had where her mother was a member of the Sultansworn.. still probably gonna do that but have her as a designated magic user instead of a Paladin.

"Oh gods what are we going to do!?" Nanamo paced back and forth in the sand. Her white and pink sundress fluttered in the warm La Noscean breeze.

"Nanamo, calm the hell down."

Nanamo stopped "Calm down? Calm down?! How can I be calm!"

Naruko rolled her eyes "Look, I think you're going a teensy bit overboard love. Besides, you're the one who decided it would be a good idea to makeout over here despite the fact that the Moonfire Faire is happening literally just over that way." She said pointing towards the main resort of Costa del Sol, which was just out of sight of their little hideaway near the rocks that was still clearly in sight. And true to her word it was bustling with various people, all there to attend the festivities. Hell even the Scions and Alliance Leaders had decided to attend.

In fact, she could actually see Y'shtola and Alisaie from where she was standing… and from the blush on Alisaie's face, they could too…. Wait, could Y'shtola even see that far? Sure she can still technically 'see' but was there a range limit?.. Hmm questions for later.

"That's not the point! Besides, you are just as to blame. Or are you forgetting how you were gripping my ass rather firmly!"

"Oh please, don't act like you didn't have both of your hands under my top and on my tits when Raubahn stumbled across us. And need I remind you of that rather… skimpy bikini you are wearing under that dress?" Naruko countered, making the smaller woman blush fiercely and let out a small squeak at the memory.

Man, poor Raubahn though. Walking in on his two pseudo daughters making out like that… The man was probably trying to bleach his brain right now or something.

"Dead! We are dead! Gods, what are we going to do?" Nanamo cried dramatically.

"Also, pretty sure Shtola and Ali were watching us the whole time." Naruko said as she pointed at the duo. Causing Nanamo to look in the same direction and see Y'shtola waving at them with a small smirk. Ok so she can see them… neat.

Nanamo's eyes widened in horror.

Oh gods she could see them.

The small woman let out a horrified yelp as she dived behind a nearby rock.

"Why are you panicking? It's not like we are trying to keep our relationship a secret anymore. Fuck, people already know there we are also dating Tataru.. and possibly Krile." Naruko shrugged with a deadpan expression. Fucking journalists, she didn't know how they found out but whoever blabbed was getting an ass kicking.

"That's not the point!" The Lalafell woman shouted from behind her rock… and was still completely in sight due to it being half buried.

"Could be worse." Naruko said as she plopped down on the sun chair she and Nanamo had been seated on earlier. "If Raubahn had come from the other direction, he woulda seen me fingering you." She said with a shrug.

Suddenly a loud rather masculine scream of… horror? Came from the direction Raubahn had hurried off in.

"Oh… he probably just heard me.. didn't he?" Naruko said sheepishly as Nanamo looked like her soul had escaped her body.

How the hell had she ended up in this situation again?

-One day prior-

Nanamo was ecstatic. Tomorrow was the beginning of the Moonfire Faire and to her luck she was completely free for the next few days! No meetings, no stuffy parties, no having to talk to those pretentious know-it-all's in the Syndicate! One whole week of relaxation and fun.

There was however a slight issue.

Nanamo blushed brightly as she stared at her reflection.

You see, she had gotten a specially made swimsuit from the Weavers Guild..or really she was going to, but then Tataru said she would make it for her. And while yes she does have one already she had this one made for… for well…

She had asked Tataru to make it in a style that would allow her to show off in front of their girlfriend(she was still getting used to saying their girlfriend instead of her girlfriend). But she was beginning to think there was an error of some kind. Some kind of miscommunication perhaps?... Gods, who was she kidding, she should have known something was up the moment Tataru had that scheming little smirk on her face! She should have learnt her lesson from that time when she asked her to get her some cookies to go with her tea when she was visiting Naruko at the Rising Stones a few weeks ago and she came back with raisin bran ones...raisin bran!

She saw that scheming little shit eating chocolate chip ones! And with chocolate milk as well! She wanted chocolate milk too, damn it! But nooooooo she had to have tea. She doesn't even like tea! She just drank it because it was 'proper' for the Sultana to do so. Hell half the time she had to drink it she just filled her cup with water or some warm milk. Gods she'd even take coffee over tea, even though it went right though her.

Anyway, where was she?... Oh right.

"Oh..oh my, t-this barely covers my b-breasts." Nanamo blushed even harder as she gently cupped her bosom. And yeah sure, Lalafell women weren't exactly blessed in that department.. but she was a bit above average, meaning there was a slightly larger swell to her bosom and yeah sure it wasn't anything impressive but it was noticeable… and by the Twelve does love to smugly hold that fact over Tataru's head despite knowing it's nothing all that impressive and if anything it's only slightly more noticeable. But still!

Along with the fact that she was the taller of the two… yet again, not by much.. but still! And no, she wasn't going to talk about how Krile's are bigger despite her being the shortest of the three of them. Nope. No sir. Not gonna talk about her having larger boobs than herself… but damn were they big in comparison… goddamn it!

The swimsuit in question was something Tataru called a sling bikini, was a black and pink one-piece with a gold trim… however, tasteful colour choice aside it was rather.. no it was extremely revealing. And while yes she knew that swimwear tended to leave little to the imagination this on the other hand made what the outfits the dancers that Ul'dah was known for look modest... good gods she could see part of her nipple!

Nanamo took a deep breath before striking a rather sexy(in her opinion) pose 'O-oh my..' She thought as she turned and looked at her backside in the mirror. "It doesn't even cover my butt.." Nanamo blushed as she stared in a mixture of awe and fear at how the bottom of her swimwear was being 'eaten' by her cheeks.

Gods, she felt like dying from embarrassment by just looking at herself. What was she going to do when Naruko saw her? The thought both terrified and aroused her.. She was also questioning why she didn't have Kokoshu model the aforementioned bikini when Tataru gave it to her last week, given that they could literally pass as twins… oh wait she did ask and Koko told her she didn't want any part of her gay shenanigans.

Yeah she'll remember that next time she asks her a favour. Fucking smart ass.

Though.. looking at her reflection she couldn't help but admit that the training she'd been doing had been paying off. She had gone from slightly chubby to having a more toned physique in a few months. Just more proof that her joining the Adventurers Guild was a good call… sure the training was hard, and there may or may not have been an instance when she ate some wild berries and had an unfortunate accident. But it was all worth it in the end. The teasing and all… well maybe not the argument she had with Naruko, but that got sorted quickly. But if she was honest, watching Naruko suplex that Ardbert fellow was strangely funny. And the look on Raubahn and Papashan's faces when the two weeks were up and the Alliance convened for their monthly meeting and they saw the small scar under her eye was hilarious.

Their faces when they saw that she got a knife to the gut during that leve that she ran off to do without Naruko's knowledge after that meeting? Yeah, not so funny… and she even had the scar to prove it. Who knew getting stabbed would hurt so much?.. and on a darker note she killed a man that day.

Thank the Twelve she had Naruko or the guilt would have probably messed her up… well, more than it already has.

Taking a deep breath, the young Sultana relaxed her pose and took a good look at her reflection. "Ok.. maybe Tataru is onto something." She muttered softly. The swimsuit, as revealing as it was did look damn good on her.

Suddenly, a devious idea entered Nanamo's mind.

Scurrying over to her bed she grabbed the guild issued Tomestone she had been given. And after a few minutes she had snapped a few.. lewd images to tease Naruko with, oy partial shots of course.. wouldn't want to ruin the surprise. Smiling to herself as she picked out the choicest pictures, she sent them to Naruko's Tomestone… and then the full shots to Tataru's(how her cousin had gotten her mitts on one for herself, Kokoshu and Krile, she didn't know. And quite frankly, she didn't want to.) and after a moment of thought, she also sent some of the partial shots to Krile for her thoughts. None for Kokoshu though… ok maybe one of the full shots. But just for her opinion.

Naruko and Tataru were a given, but Krile was partially out of spite. Don't get her wrong, it wasn't wholly mean spirited spite.. it was just that she was still kinda sorta mad over the cat hooded Lalafell throwing a half empty bottle of rather expensive cognac at her a while back… look she thought the bottle looked neat ok.. and it may or may not have been a rather expensive reserve that she was fond of..

The look on Krile's face when she realised what she did was funny as she no doubt recognised the brand and how it cost four hundred thousand gil per bottle(ironically, Krile's grandfather had been a friend of the current owner of the distillery where said Cognac was made and had several bottles of Hors d'âge quality in the cellar of the Baldesion Annex back in Sharlayan)… and then she proceeded to have a panic attack and passed out on her carpet.. yeah, really fun explaining that to Papashan literally a minute later when he came barging in with Kokoshu after they had heard the bottle shatter, only to find both her and Tataru standing over an unconscious Krile.

Honestly, she didn't know if she should be concerned or laugh over how Papashan looked at Krile, then at her and said 'I always knew this day would come' with a somewhat haunted look before explaining he will hide the body. Yeah, both Tataru and herself quickly vetoed that.

Tomorrow sure is going to be one hell of a day. "Hmm.. why do I feel like I am forgetting something?" Nanamo thought for a moment before she remembered "Ah that's right, I mustn't forget my sun lotion. Wouldn't want to get sunburned now do I… actually, hmmm.. would I look good with a tan?" She pondered before shaking her head "Nah, not worth it. I burn way too easily. And Koko definitely wouldn't let me hear the end of it because she'd have to get a tan as well, and that woman burns easier than I do." Which was in itself ironic due to the sunny climate of Thanalan. She blamed their Mhachi ancestry… hmm actually, that gave her an idea for All Saints Wake.. yes.. Now how is she going to convince Naruko to dress up as a succubus.

*Ding*

Oh? Kokoshu responded.

Koko: You look like a massive slut and your ass is literally eating the bottom part.

Nanamo: is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Koko: Yes.

"Fucking smart ass." Nanamo groaned.

-The next morning-

'Why!? Whywhywhywhywhywhy!?' Nanamo wanted to slam her head into the large table that her fellow alliance leaders were seated around. As it turned out, the thing she had forgotten about was a meeting with her fellow leaders and was now forced to sit through hours of the same drivel instead of enjoying a beautiful day at Costa del Sol with her girlfriend( Girlfriends? Tataru was gonna be there she guessed, but should she count Krile?). Twelve damn it! She felt as if she was about to cry… and it didn't help that she was informed of said meeting as she was walking past the Fragrant Chamber on her way to inform Jenlyns that she would be leaving for Costa del Sol and that an armed squad wasn't necessary seeing as she was spending the period of the Faire and then the Rising with the Warrior of Light herself. It had been all meticulously planned.

So you could imagine her embarrassment when she saw Alphinaud, Kan-E-Senna, Raubahn, Merlwyb, Aymeric, Lyse and Kushina(who was there as Hien's representative as he couldn't make it due to reasons.. It was partially due to a certain thing that happened during the Tsukiyomi incident that resulted in Naruko kicking the Doman King through a wall as well as the death of a member of the former Doman Resistance who was apparently a former brothel owner that may or may not have been partially responsible for what happened to Yotsuyu. Honestly, Nanamo didn't want him setting one foot in her city but knew she'd have to compromise eventually) conversing at the foot of the steps, the embarrassment coming from the fact that instead of her usual regal attire she was dressed in a white and pink sundress, a wide brimmed sun hat, a pair of sunglasses that sat snuggly on the hem of her dress and a pair of rather basic sandals with a cream colour duffel bag on her shoulder that had a change of clothing, two towels, her sun lotion, some gil, her Tomestone and finally her other swimsuit...the less revealing one… unlike the rather risque one-piece she had on underneath her sundress… which in hindsight she now realised that wearing it under her dress was a massive mistake, like holy fuck past Nanamo what the hell were you thinking! Oh right.. she wanted to surprise Naruko...shit.. damn you horny past self!

So here she was, seated in her chair in the Fragrant Chamber completely and utterly destroyed about the fact that she would not be spending time with Naruko and that she will likely have to spend tomorrow here as well with even more meetings.

Was she crying? Not yet, but possibly soon.

"Is something amiss Your Grace?" She heard Raubahn ask. Oh no, nothing major. Just her being devastated because she had meticulously planned out her outing for the last month and yet here she was, frustrated and depressed because she couldn't spend her fucking week off at the beach with her girlfriends(seriously, does Krile count!?) Why? Because people just loved to drop surprise meetings on her completely out of the blue and that… Why were they looking at her like that? Did she have something on her face? Oh god she didn't actually start crying did she?

Thal damn it, this was just like when she stubbed her toe during that gala a year ago.. only with less physical pain and more emotional pain.

"Nanamo… did you have plans today?" Kan-E-Senna asked.

Oh shit… she said all that out loud didn't she?

"Of course she did, just look at her attire. She clearly had a day at the beach planned." Merlwyb chimed in as she sipped a glass of iced tea.

"It is quite hot today.. though I admit it may just be myself not being used to Thanalan's warmer climes." Aymeric said, pouring himself another glass of ice water as a small bead of sweat dripped down his face.

"Well perhaps you should look into some more appropriate attire Ser Aymeric." Kan-E said in a kind tone that was completely subverted by her almost smug smile.

"Your Grace.. if needed we can simply reschedule the meeting until the end of the week. Gods know you need some time off every now and then." Raubahn said gently.

Nanamo perked up at the suggestion, but she swiftly deflated just as fast. Merlwyb, Kan-E and Aymeric had traveled all this way and had to endure the sweltering heat of a Thanalan summer… it would be more than selfish of her to cancel the meeting. Kushina however could suffer from heatstroke for all she cared and Lyse seemingly enjoyed the rather dry heat… fucking weirdo.

Seriously, she lived here and she hated how hot it gets.

"Then perhaps we should all go." Kan-E said softly "It has been some time since we have had a moment of peace to unwind… so I would say a day at the beach would be marvelous."

"An interesting proposal Lady Seedseer… though I have to admit, I amcurious how the festivities of the Moonfire Faire are undertaken." Aymeric chimed in.

Wait what?

"Indeed. This would be a splendid way to both boost comradery and public image. I should also add that my fellow Scions had already made plans to attend this year." Alphinaud agreed.

"Ha! And I'm guessing the fine lasses in skimpy swimwear are a bonus lad?" Merlwyb laughed, causing Alphinaud to blush brightly, causing the others to chuckle at the young man's expense "Though, I hear they have an interesting attraction this year. The Eorzean Nimble Warrior obstacle course, I believe it was called." Merlwyb added, getting murmurs of intrigue from the others.

"Wasn't it called the Eorzean Ninja Warrior course?" Lyse cocked her head in confusion..

"The Ninja what now?" Kushina said, confused. Why would there be something called that here?

"Lyse it was never called that.." Kan-E-Senna said with a small frown.

"I coulda sworn it was though?"

"Then I suppose it's settled then." Raubahn said with a grin before turning to Nanamo "My lady, allow us an hour to inform our subordinates before we set out."

After that, Raubahn and the others left the fragrant chamber.. leaving an extremely confused Sultana.

"The fuck?" Did.. did they just use her to get a day off?.. Did they plan this!? Oh those sneaky..

-Present-

"This is almost painful to watch." Naruko said with a grimace as she watched the leaders of the Eorzean Alliance and her fellow Scions attempt the obstacle course.

Naruko herself had finished the course a few minutes ago and decided to take the extra challenge of ascending the tower, which is where she sat currently while she watched.

"I think it's hilarious." A smug voice said.

Naruko rolled her eyes, "That's because you love to watch your brother struggle, Alisaie." She said as she looked to her left at the younger Elezen girl, who she noted was in a red and white two piece bikini similar design to her orange and black one that she was currently wearing. However, unlike Alisaie, Naruko was wearing an open black shirt with gold designs on her bikini top.

Alisaie simply shrugged, but didn't deny the accusation, before bursting into a fit of laughter when she saw Alphinaud misjudge a jump and go straight over the next platform, falling head first into the water.

"Come now Alisaie, you shouldn't… ohoho my god ahahahaha! Look at his face!" Krile burst into laughter as a rather mortified Alphinaud was carried out of the water by a rather burly Roegadyn man in a coeurl print speedo.

"Oh he won't be living that one down anytime soon." Naruko chuckled at the look of sheer embarrassment on Alphinaud's face as he was carried to shore.

"Ha! He wouldn't be complaining if that Miqo'te lady grabbed him instead." Alisaie said as she pointed at a caramel skinned Miqo'te with long pink hair who was wearing a rather skimpy two piece that was barely able to hold back her rather large bosom as she treaded water near where he fell.

"Oh definitely. Look at the tits on her." Krile snickered.

"Indeed, she is quite beautiful." A voice said from behind them.

Naruko huffed "Yes Kushina. State the obvious why don't you." She said, rolling her eyes as the older redhead sat down next to Alisaie.

"You look good, Lady Uzumaki." Alisaie said half-heartedly while trying desperately to avoid eye contact with the red headed milf. And she was being honest as well. Sure, Kushina didn't have the bust size that Naruko had.. but she made up for it with her toned body and motherly hips.

So you can imagine the horrifically perverse thoughts going through her teenage mind at the thought of being next to her crush's mother.. who in her opinion was just as beautiful and was wearing a rather nice looking red and black bikini that hugged her hips and bust oh so right….

Look she had a fetish alright. It's perfectly normal!

"You done flirting with my estranged mother, Alisaie?" Naruko snickered, causing Alisaie to blush a brilliant shade of red.

"I-I-I-I-..." The younger girl blathered in embarrassment.

"There's nothing wrong with being into older women, Alisaie. In fact, when I was your age I had quite the crush on your mother." Krile teased. Causing Alisaie to completely shut down out of sheer embarrassment.

"Oh really? Alisaie's mother is a looker, hmm?" Naruko asks.

"Oh definitely. Lady Ameliance is a ten out of ten milf. I dare say Alisaie will most definitely look similar as she gets older." Krile responded with a small smile.

After another ten minutes of watching their friends flail about on the obstacle course, Naruko shook her head and stood up to stretch. "Welp.. I'm gonna head back down. Get a drink or two and just chill on the beach. Oh who am I kidding, I'm definitely gonna get suckered into helping with something.." She said as she put her hands behind her head as she stretched.. get two opposite reactions from her two fellow Scions.

Alisaie stared at Naruko blankly with a small blush and a not so hidden look of envy at how pronounced the Warrior of Light's rather large bust was in that position..

While Krile stared at her with a massive blush for the same reason, minus the envy.

"Must you really?" Alisaie pouted. Causing Naruko to chuckle and ruffle her hair, making the younger girl pout even harder.

"See you two down below." Naruko said as she took off her shirt and draped it over Krile's shoulders before diving off the tower and into the water.

"It's rude to stare y'know." Krile teased. Causing Alisaie to roll her eyes "Oh don't act like you weren't. Besides, I wasn't flirting with her the entire time."

Krile shrugged "What's a bit of harmless flirting between friends?" Damn straight she was going to use that card. If Naruko can use it then by the Twelve she will as well!

"Oh yes, truly just friendly flirtation. Try again when you aren't so underdressed." Alisaie said with a not so slight bit of snark.

Krile looked down confused. She was wearing the standard Moonfire swimsuit that the vendors sold. What was… the Lalafell woman's eyes widened "Ooooh…" a deep blush formed on her cheeks..

The middle knot of her top had come undone.. meaning she had been sitting here for gods know how long with her tits out.

"Well then… excuse me while I curl up and die." The Lalafell woman said with an embarrassed squeak as she pulled Naruko's shirt closed.

"And you and the others say I have it bad for her." Alisaie chuckled at Krile's expense.

"Yeah well at least she doesn't see me as a sister!" Krile bit back as she hastily re-tied her bikini.

"... I'm telling her about the body pillow."

"You wouldn't fucking dare!"

"Wanna bet?"

"I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP BRAT!"

Meanwhile, Kushina was sitting next to them with a sweat drop. 'I think they forgot about me.'

-Meanwhile down below-

"Haha yes!" Nanamo exclaimed excitedly as she reached the end of the obstacle course… Well really, she had one more jump. But come on, she was practically there.

*SPLASH*

"Ahh! Cold!" The small woman shrieked as a deluge of water splashed her from below which sadly, knocked her off the platform.

*Splash*

Nanamo thrashed about for a moment due to how cold the water was before a pair of arms wrapped around her and hoisted her above the surface.

"Fancy seeing you here babe." Naruko grinned as she held her girlfriend close.

Nanamo rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms over Naruko's shoulders before kissing her "Get bored, did you dear?"

"Eh, kinda. Between watching the others make fools of themselves, my mother trying and failing to be subtle about prying about my life and Krile's constant flirting, I had ample entertainment." Naruko said as they floated gently.

"Oho!" Nanamo exclaimed "Krile certainly is getting rather bold hmm?"

"Naruko nodded "Oh definitely. She was laying it on thick."

"It's always the bookish ones. Gods, she'd probably be absolutely wild in bed." Nanamo said with a perverse look.

"Her top had come undone and I don't know whether or not she realised." Naruko said as she slowly treaded water.

"Really now? Well I'm certain you enjoyed seeing a sample of her goods." Nanamo said with a sly grin.

Naruko rolled her eyes before slowly swimming towards the beach with Nanamo in her arms. "You do realise I know how to swim now?" Nanamo asked.

"Oh, and here I thought you liked being pressed up against my tits." Naruko smirked.

Nanamo giggled as she kissed her love gently "Oh I do my love. Though we have an audience.." she said as the Adventurers and such around them and on the platforms wolf whistled and light heartedly jeered them on.

Naruko rolled her eyes and chuckled "Alright, calm down ya damn pervs." She shouted.

"Hey we aren't the ones giving a free show!" A Roegadyn woman shouted back jokingly as she gauged the distance of the next platform.

"Your ass is eating your bikini, Snoegeim." Naruko shouted back, only for the now named Snoegeim to proudly slap her ass "Damn right!" Making the pink haired Miqo'te woman behind her very happy.

Naruko rolled her eyes. As she continued to swim towards the shore.

"Say Naruko." Nanamo whispered.

"Hmm?"

"What do you say we grab some drinks and go somewhere a bit more… private." The Lalafellin woman said, kissing Naruko's neck gently.

"Hmm.. sounds-"

"We can still hear ya!" The Miqo'te woman who had been ogling Snoegeim shouted.

"Piss off Khuja! It was jus getting good!" A green haired Lalafell woman shouted from another platform.

"Stop being a voyeur, Hanana. It's fucking creepy." Khuja yelled back.

"I'll show you creepy ya mangy cat!" Hanana shouted angrily as she leaped at the Miqo'te woman.

Down below, Naruko and Nanamo watched the two women roll about on the platform.

"It's hard to believe they are sisters." Naruko chuckled.

"Wait really?" Nanamo asked in surprise. The two of them seemed to hate each other, given the rather… colorful insults they were shouting at each other.

Naruko nodded "Yep. Hanana was adopted by Khuja's mum after her parents died in a Sahagin raid when she was a toddler. Granted, Koli is her godmother as well, mind you."

"Huh… are they always like this?" The smaller woman asked as the sisters tumbled off the platform and into the water below.

"Yep." Naruko nodded as they watched Hanana start flailing about in the water.

Yeah probably not the smartest idea doing an obstacle course that is above water if you can't swim. Though luckily, Khuja immediately grabbed her sister and held her above water as she floated in place.

"As much as they fight, they do care about each other.. with Khuja being kinda protective" Naruko chuckled as Khuja started frantically checking her sister for any injuries, much to the green headed girl's embarrassment.

"Huh.. that's actually kinda cute." Nanamo muttered as Naruko swam them to shore.

-Later that day-

"I have to admit, today's been pretty damn good." Naruko said as she but into a slice of pizza..

On her left, Tataru giggled "Oh I'm sure it has love." She said leaning against the Hyur woman while she sipped sipped on her coconut. On Naruko's right sat Nanamo, who after losing a dare with Tataru, the young Sultana had to wear her sexy swimsuit for the rest of the day.

"Yes. It has been quite the eventful day so far. The obstacle course was quite enjoyable and I rather like the other attractions and games." Nanamo smiled softly as she sipped her chilled cider.

Krile scoffed "You enjoyed falling into the water time and time again Your Grace?"

Nanamo grinned impishly "Why of course. It was quite thrilling. Besides, while I may not have been able to finish it as of yet. I'd say that my bikini not coming undone is a victory I hold over you my dear~" She giggled into her hand as Krile blushed heavily at the recent memory.

"W-well yours doesn't need to. Given how it's barely covering anything at all!" Krile shot back embarrassed.

Over at another table Kan-E-Senna smiled at the display. "It's truly heartening to see them getting along so well."

"Really?" Merlwyb asked, sipping her beer "The young Baldesion lass looks moments away from burning up from embarrassment. That being said, I'm shocked Nanamo hasn't already passed out from embarrassment, given her rather daring swimsuit and all."

Kan-E smiled brightly "Indeed. And then Naruko will swoop in and tell her she's cute, which will result in Krile finally confessing her feelings… though I'm not sure if the blushing is from her attraction to Naruko, or Nanamo's aforementioned swimwear.. perhaps both!" She said excitedly.

Merlwyb looked at the oddly excited Padjal woman before shaking her head "You've truly got to lay off those Otome novels, my friend."

"Never!"

After lunch the various groups explored the Faire. With Y'shtola tagging along with Naruko, Tataru, Krile and Nanamo.

The tanned Miqo'te woman for all her taciturn and sometimes smug nature partially regretted the decision when all four women continuously flirted with her and complimented her on her choice of swimwear…. She wasn't exactly against the praise though and actually found the attention rather pleasant. Not that she's openly admitting it, because Twelve help her if Tataru found out.

The teasing alone would be legendary. Though she had a feeling that Tataru already knew, given that smug look she'd been giving her… damn. And the on top of that of that if her sister or Matoya found out….

Her poor heart wouldn't be able to take such an.. an onslaught of teasing.

During the afternoon of the Faire Naruko and the others socialized with the various people who were in attendance.

From Naruko helping Lyonell.. sorry the Sunshine Saviour with his confidence to Raubahn falling asleep on the beach only somehow have an entire sand castle built on-top of him by Khloe, T'kebbe and Nanamo and then there was how Naruko tried to help that Miqo'te lad R'fhul with the obstacle course… It didn't go well, but at least he enjoyed himself and his sister has fun.

Hell Naruko had noticed one of the lalafellin South Sea dancers had taken a bit of a liking to Wedge and she had given him a little nudge in her direction. Much to the amusement of Cid and the rest of the Ironworks crew.

All in all it had been a wonderful day.

And as day turned to night, Naruko and the others gathered around one of the bonfires. They drank and shared stories about their travels and such well into the night.

Nanamo smiled softly as she watched Naruko converse softly with Y'shtola while the Warrior of Light gently patted T'kebbe's head as she slept on her lap.

"She'll make a fine mother someday." A voice came from next to her.

Turning she saw Kushina smiling sadly at her estranged daughter. "She will." Nanamo replied simply.

After a moment of awkward silence Kushina looked at Nanamo "I.. I know I've not place saying this but… please take care of her." The older woman said softly.

Nanamo stared at Kushina a moment before nodding her head and walking towards Naruko.

Kushina let out a soft sigh "You'll be a far better mother then I was." She whispered with a sad smile.

Perhaps one day she would earn her daughter's forgiveness. One day.

But tonight, they would simply enjoy themselves… let go of those woes and simply enjoy the summer.

Speaking of which.

Kushina took a seat at a table off towards the side with the Alliance leaders as they made small talk. After all, if she could if she could make good with them, maybe it would show Naruko that she was trying to make things right…

That and Raubahn was quite the handsome man. So that was a plus.

-The next morning-

Naruko let out a quiet yawn as she stirred awake.

Looking down she smiled softly as Nanamo had taken her place on her torso as per usual, her face buried between her breasts. However when she tried to move her arms she noticed that there were two weights on them.

Looking to her left she saw that Tataru had claimed her arm and was hugging it tightly against her bare body.

And on her right, much to her surprise was Krile, who was also bare as the day she was born. It took Naruko a moment, but the memories from the prior night swiftly made a comeback, getting a small blush from the Warrior of Light.

"Mhmm.." Nanamo slowly stirred awake.

Lifting her head from her love's pillowy bosom she bearly stared at Naruko a moment before haphazardly kissing her on the side of her mouth, uttering a tired good morning as she did so.

"I see that Krile is a hugger?" Nanamo muttered softly as she sat up, allowing the thing sheets to fall leaving her entirely exposed.

"Mhmm quite." Naruko responded taking in all of Nanamo's form in the morning light, her pink hair a mess, yet giving her such an enticing look. Gods if only her arms were free.

Nanamo seemed to have a similar thought as she then leaned down and kissed Naruko once again.

The moment however was ruined by the door to their room swinging open.

"Naruko it's already nine thirty! Get up and….!" Alisaie stopped dead when she saw the four naked women.

The noise however roused Tataru and Krile from their slumbers due to Naruko shooting up, causing two different reactions.

"Huh.. wha.." Tataru groaned sitting up.

"TWELVE ABOVE ALISAIE! LEARN TO FUCKING KNOCK!" Krile shot up, snatching the sheets to cover herself.

Alisaie responded by running out of the room red faced. Clearly she had thought they were fully dressed or at least partially. No doubt Y'shtola put her up to it as 'revenge' for taking her bikini top while they were swimming yesterday.

"So.." Nanamo began after a few moments.

"You were awake the whole time hmm, Krile?" The Sultana said with a flirty grin, causing Krile to let out a cute squeak and bury her face in Naruko's side.

Naruko laughed as she laid back in the bed.

Yeah, things are pretty damn good.

There you go, the Moonfire Faire all wrapped up.

As I said up top, I've had to change some things and scrap some plans with Endwalker. Man I really hope Dawntrails is gentle to me.

In other news. FUCK YEAH, DAWNTRAILS! Calling it now, Krile's gonna get a class and outfit change. And her class is 100% gonna be that new caster class and her outfit will be the one FFV Krile wore y'know the artwork outfit. Still, though. It's good they are finally having her do stuff other than background work.

Anywho I'll leave it here. Oh, and did you catch the small bits of foreshadowing in this chapter? If so, tell me in the comments. I'd love to see how close you guy are.
