[PP - F4] <<Avalanche>> Big Icy thing (Ariel and Crimsa)

[Hunie 0]

The snow kissed her shins and it wasn't pleasant. But having spent a decent bit of time here, the blonde was growing accustomed to the dismally wet and cold conditions. She wrapped her furry white coat tighter around her slender armour clad body. "Th-this is even t-tougher than I'd thought." she said, her teeth chattering again. This better be worth the upgrade in my armour, Hunie thought. The rumour of a quest granting a way to upgrade your equipment had rampantly reached the ears of almost all players her level. Players like her who hadn't gotten a chance to clean out large mob infested areas in parties with safe numbers, had to rely on every small advantage they could find. From some of the higher ups who had already embarked on this quest, the younger players had been advised that more than one person would be required for the quest, so far Hunie hadn't decided if she should bother any of her friends, or just hope that she'd be able to get in with another party dealing with the quest monster, do her small part and earn the prize. What the blonde didn't realise was that the equipment enhancing quest wasn't the only one found on famously frosty floor four. Hunie didn't notice how close she was to the area which was infamous for being the spawning point of a dangerous icy monster. Hunie just trudged around, undeterred. In the distance she heard a small scuffle of footsteps through the dense snow. She could make out a figure of a girl, but nothing else. The blonde squinted and called out. "Hello? Is anyone there?" Here comes another player in hope to find this quest, she assumed. Hopefully they'd get along and mop this up quickly.

4th floor, home. Or at least that was how a certain blonde lioness liked to call it. Of course, the smaller white lioness with 3 black stripes didn't like it at first. Coming from the jungles two floors above this one, snow was something that she despised for being cold and making her fur wet but with time found it a great camouflage to surprise enemies during quests. Now she is more or less neutral towards it but still avoid as much as possible getting wet. The blonde was today outside shop to collect some minor materials needed for her profession. "A bit of snow from here, a little ice from there.." started mumbling the blonde as she checked through a mental list and added locations. The first who heard the call was as always her companion who came from under a mound of snow and quickly dashed towards the armor clad? figure. The lioness who was about the same size of a mature ST bernard breed dog went directly at her like a bullet, showing no signs of of stopping. If Hunnie wouldn't evade the feline she would be thrown at the snow and licked by the lioness.

Ariel just sighted as she saw her familiar acting on her own, as always. At this point the blonde would start walking towards the other blonde. The first thing someone would notice was her, extremely short skirt and sleeveless but revealing top in navy colored armor camo pattern, next would come the vambraces at her wrists and the black leather army-like boots.'Let's see what we have here' she thought as she started slowly humming a old song she liked.

Wrapped tightly in her new coat the scarlet haired woman slowly walked through the deep snows of the forth floor, why did the damned place have to be so cold?. Halting in her steps she let out a sneeze, the cute, petite sound echoing off. "Gods I hate this floor..." she muttered to herself. What was so special about this floor anyways?, Zero had said he wanted to meet her on it and figures she would be able to find him. The only thing she knew was He liked being outside of the safe zones rather than in them. Kicking a clump of snow Crimsa began moving once again, hopefully there wouldn't be any monster spawns while she was looking for him. Spotting what looked like a couple of people in the distance the woman let out a relieved sigh and began moving faster.

"Excuse me!, have either of you seen a not so small boy with white hair and red eyes?, probably threatened to kill you if you were in his way?." she asked as she approached them. Noticing that they were greatly equipped she gulped nervously, maybe she should have been a bit more careful...

Before Hunie could react she felt her back hit the soft snow. Then she felt the water seep into her thick coat as the snow melted. Some the ice crystals also clung to her blonde hair. The girl could feel some weight on her abdomen and then she felt a warmer touch... of a tongue? At first she wanted to squeal and push this thing of off her. The fall had caused her to clench her eyes shut, upon opening them, she saw the furry face of a lion. A mob? Hunie froze, figuratively, since she was already literally frozen thanks to the cold floor. No, it had friendly eyes. Even in the dank darkness Hunie could see the bead like dark eyes of the creature were not hostile and it had just licked her.

The blonde tried to sit up, patting the albino lioness's back. Running her fingers agains the stark dark bands that stood out in its fur. Its a familiar. She guessed and soon the presumable owner was standing overhead, humming. That girl looks completely immune to cold and also looks incredibly familiar... The green eyed girl thought, as she scanned the revealing outfit. "Hey there... What's this lovely familiar's name? And yours of course?" She asked as she finally managed to hoist herself up. Right then she noticed another girl who's hair looked like fire, walk up to the duo. The red haired girl, also rang the bell of familiarity but once again Hunie couldn't place the face with a name. The newest arrival,  asked for a boy, but Hunie knew no one who matched the description no one hear anyway... "I don't think I've seen such a guy... Why are you chasing someone like that?" Hunie asked, worried if this girl was going to land herself into a dangerous situation, with this hostile player. 

A loud rumble broke her line of thought of the concern she felt for the girl.

Kimba, just wanted to make friends. For some reason, she decided that the only other blonde in this desolate place would  be the perfect playmate. The blonde had just given up on trying to understand the logic that lead to that conclusion. She just let the lioness be and dealt with whatever came next so she showed a smile when asked about the 'small' creature: "Glad to see you're okay. Don't worry she won't bite.......often." with a nod she continued: "Her name is Kimba." as for the reply for the second question the blonde hesitated a bit then said: "To tell you that she is mine, would be more of a lie than truth. At the very least yes, I am the one who feeds her so that she doesn't go away and remains my trusty companion" said the blonde with a joking tone, avoiding the issue of ownership. Despite this being a game and all she treated players and NPCs the same, also she saw familiars as actual companions instead of just data tools provided to aid them from the Cardinal system.

Turning her head towards the other girl, among the first things Ariel noted was the size of the redhead's bosom that was pretty much as big as her own. "Hah, we already have a couple of things in common. " said the blonde with a giggle as the other blonde beside her engaged  her in conversation. "platinum hair and red eyes.... " she muttered as it was a generic description and the second part wasn't that helping either. "It can't be..."muttered the blonde to herself as she listen to the two chat.

Noticing no hostile movements Crimsa's blue eyes narrowed as she examined the two in front of her, she had definitely seen them before but it was hard to say where. Considering she had only met a select few people outside of her boyfriend it could only mean she had got a glance of them at the hot springs, the only other place she had gone...then again she may have had more than a glance if she had gotten drunk. being interrupted from a voice the woman turned to face one of the two blonds, the one that at least to her seemed to be a bit more 'stiff'. Raising a hand Crimsa brushed it through her scarlet hair, hoping to get some of the snow out of it. "Well he's my servant." she stated simply not finding it necessary to expand further on the subject unless asked. 

"Hmm?, in Common?" Giving a glance to the other female in the trio the woman mainly acknowledged the size of her bust, a rare sight to see in any world. Thankfully she had been blessed with such a gift. Placing her hands on her hips Crimsa leaned in closer to the more loose blonde, only assumed once again but clothing did tell stories. "If you want, later we can really see how much we have in common with one an other." She playfully flirted with her fellow female. Resetting her posture the woman Flicked some flakes of snow off of her shoulder. "It's Crimsa by the way, seems lately people tend to greet my breasts first rather than the one who is attached to them." Forming a sly look the woman looked to the similar sized player. "Though I don't mind, it really shows where a persons priorities are at. You can touch them if you want, after all we're both girls aren't we?"

"Kimba." Hunie repeated affectionately. She could tell the other blonde loved her like a real pet, much like Hunie who also treated all harmless creatures in the game, NPC or not, as real beings. I need me one of these. Hunie thought, wanting to share the pleasures of having a companion, virtual as it may be. She continued to pat her gently as she pulled herself up to a kneeling position. Her legs were far better equipped to deal with the cold than her behind was. The girl would have pushed herself off the ground, but she could lose a few more seconds with the magnificent creature. When she heard the crimson haired girl respond to her concern, Hunie was a little taken aback... "You have a murderous servant on the lose?" she said, wondering what the hell was going on. But by then the other two had already started a more, personal conversation, initiated by the other blonde mentioning they had something in common. Hunie assumed she was talking to her and about the color of their hair, but upon looking up she noticed the comment had been directed towards the other one. 

The sea blue eyes darted from one girl to the other as they exchanged this rather.... revealing conversation. Hunie felt herself blush in embarrassment, it was like she was the new girl, stuck in a locker room with the 'cool girls.' Once she had gotten a hint at what they were comparing, she quickly let her own eyes dart towards her armour clad chest, and then they darted away shiftily. Nope, nothing as... grand. Raun had warned her about girls in his school who so easily believed they were lesser than someone else because of stupid reasons. Though he had never elaborated, what these reasons were he had made her promise she would never fall prey to such insecurities. For Hunie, it had never come to that, her biggest reason for feeling out of place was the lack of function in her legs... It was only now that she witnessed, first hand, other things that could be lacking in a person. When the conversation went from comparison to touching. Hunie got to her feet slowly, keeping her eyes directed at the familiar, still fondly stroking her in an absent-minded manner. "She has her own to touch, does she not..." Hunie mumbled innocently. "As you both mentioned they are similarly siz-" her genuine response to the slightly awkward set up was broken by a louder rumble in the background. "Did you hear that?" She inquired, wondering if she was imagining it.

She couldn't be mistaken but... she looked so similar. The blonde closed her eyes and tried to go back to where she'd seen made her.. not her as the actual player in front of them but... the hair, the cloths... it all fit like a glove, the exterior appearance was basically the same with the one of a plushie she made before. Upon hearing her suggestion the blonde slightly blushed but didn't downright refused the offer. One of the characteristics of the plushie was that it was 'very soft to the touch' and the blonde was tempted to accept the proposition. She'd been thinking about it with her chin supported by her index and thumb and as she was debating, it might've appeared from the outside that she was gazing at the girl's 'features' with attentive eyes. In the end she sighted and mocked herself internally for thinking of such stupid things. She would simply say: "Okay then!" while getting closer to the girl, then before walking into her she made a couple of side steps and said "Inai!*" followed let out a relieved...long.... sigh. It wasn't there, her shop logo which consisted of a white crowned lion head, the same one that she added on the back of the plushie's uniform. "Thank god, I would've lost my marbles it it were so." said the blonde, just now noticing her unusual behaviour, at least from an exterior point of view.

"Um, yes,,," she vaguely replied, not sure of what the crimson girl told her. Everything else than the girl's name didn't register in Ariel's mind as she simply replied: "The name's Ariel and as she said, her name is Kimba. " then the blonde looked at her familiar who seemed to enjoy the attention she'd received from Hunnie. "Looks like she made a new friend." she added as a whisper. The moment the rumble could be heard, Hunnie would feel Kimba's body tensing up as she heard it too. The blonde squinted her eyes to try and see what was it. She had a feeling... but didn't want to voice it just yet. 

Inai!* - jap. 'It isn't there!' a translation thingy should appear next to Ariel, since she's half japanese.

"Don't take it the wrong way." Crimsa advised the girl in front of her. "He's harmless as long as you don't anger him." Knowing him he probably would have if these two had gotten in his way but the scarlet haired woman seemed to have a soothing effect on the platinum haired boy. "Hmm?" looking up from her thoughts she was pleasantly surprised as her blonde double approached her, seeming to mumble some things to her self. The woman almost looked as though she was examining her?. Letting the woman circle her Crimsa gave a wolfish grin as the blonde stopped in front of her, or rather...on her.   

Breast pressing against breast the scarlet haired woman forced a fake blush. "Oh My~ I see you decided to take me up on my offer" she giggled. Not wanting to give Ariel a chance to realize that they were touching Crimsa swiftly lifted her arms and grasped the blonde's bust with each hand. "Hmm, has a nice amount softness to them. Yet they are firm, not wanting to easily be moved." Lifting her sapphire gaze to the woman she studied her reaction, giving an extra squeeze as to reveal what she had done if it wasn't already obvious Crimsa flashed a delighted smile. "This tells me an entire story about you my dear" Giving a glance to the other blonde in her presence she raised her hands. "If you want you can be next~".

Hunie felt her face grow redder and redder at what was transpiring between the other two players. While the red haired girl and the other blonde got up close and personal, Hunie thought it was high time she tried to figure out the source of the sound that was playing in her head, just to make sure she wasn't going crazy. Choosing to leave the other two to their own devices, she ventured a little into the distance in attempt to make out the source of this rumble. She peered behind a small hillock into the clearing in the distance and noticed a large... block of ice? Every movement it made, a rumble followed. Feeling rather brave and looking for a reason to shirk away from all the awkwardness she felt inside, she built a charge and started dashing to the monster with a small battle cry. 

Unfortunately, still not quite accustomed to the weight of her new sword, while pulling it out of her sheath it slipped from her grip and fell, the snow cushioning the clang that would have followed. Luckily, so far the monster hadn't caught up to her he seemed to be involved in theatrics of some sorts, flinging his block like icy arms around in her direction. She rushed back to her fellow players. "Umm guys, there is this big icy thing there, I think I got it a little mad, will you help me deal with it...?" She cleared her throat and asked, keeping her eyes fixed on Kimba.

This had been... a slip on the blonde's part. Ariel had been too much into her own thoughts, fearing something like a god complex forming. The possibility of seeing a creation of hers exist in pixelated flesh and blood in front of her, this would've been the feeling Dr. Frankenstein had when he saw his conglomeration of body parts being animated.Such thoughts filled her hind and left her open to such surprise attacks. She first felt a tingle around her chest area, a familiar feeling as though someone.... At the thought of that possibility, as though confirm her worst fear, a secondary, more intense sensation emerged. Her eyes now wide open, she turned them downwards, towards the source of that sensation.

"YYYYYYY AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" came a high pitched scream that reverberated around them, loud enough to provoke an avalanche in the nearby mountains. She instinctively stepped back and covered her bosom with both her eyes while shouting. "Hentai! Chikan!*" In authentic japanese accent. Her breath became rough from all the screaming and the blonde glared at the crimson haired girl with a menacing look. "What do you think you're doing?" She asked as she started regaining her breath. She reached for her weapon, bound on teaching this little pervert a lesson but shifted her gaze towards the other member of their little 'meeting'. The armored girl just went and engaged the Avalanche quest mob... she didn't knew what level she was but couldn't just stand by and watch as she turned 180 degrees and shouted in concern: "Baka, that a quest field boss!"

At the sight of the mob Kimba rushed and put herself in front of the girl who was just second ago petting her, menacingly growling at the giant Ice elemental. Then she looked at Ariel and closed her eyes for a second, the blonde nodded and closed hers too with a frown. In the next instant that the two both opened their eyes, Kimba's gaze was unchanged. But something happened to the blonde, her usual mirror-silver iris had been tinged black in the middle with one large golden ring after it, followed by more black. She had the same eyes her familiar had, the effect she'd baptized 'Shared Vision' that would permit Ariel to 'see' with Kimba's help, increasing her Accuracy in the process.

She rushed towards the blonde girl activating her <<Charge>> skill from the first step as she flawlessly executed the proper <<Pre-motion>> for it but she didn't stop there. Alongside that particular sword skill she made the perfect <<Pre-motion>> for one of her most frequently used sword arts. Next with inhuman speed, provided by the system assistance, she finds herself between dashing towards the mob. The golden glow from her weapon resulted from the sword art activation alongside with her golden hair made her look like a authentic shooting star, leaving her behind a faint streak. A combo of sword art and sword skill that was used so many times before that it remained engraved into her muscles, thus why she firstly reacted this way.

She passed by Hunnie and stopped no sooner than after impaling her rapier into the center of the mob's chest, with pinpoint accuracy. In mere seconds it dispersed into the same polygonal animation the blonde has seen so many times before. As she was showered by the sparkling remains she turned around and looked at the armored clad girl: "Are you okay?" she asked with a soft voice. She'd almost forgotten about the previous scene.

Forming a sad frown as the girl seemingly got bored of Crimsa's antics the scarlet woman focused back onto the subject at hand, or rather backing away from hers. Letting out a brief giggle at the woman's scream she offered an innocent smile and shrugged her shoulders. "Sorry, I thought you were taking me up on my offer so since you felt me with your chest I felt yours with my hands." Releasing the shrug the woman placed a hand on her hip and the other in front of her lips, hiding a sly grin. "Besides...that scream was too cute." She playfully flirted glancing to the avalanche cascading down the mountain, the word cute may have been a bit of an understatement. Most people probably been running as far from her as possible after something like that, but Crimsa saw it as a unique personality trait. And she was craving to learn more. 

Turning back Crimsa's sapphire eyes glanced down to the woman preparing to draw her weapon, 'She wouldn't...' she thought to herself. But as always it seemed something interrupted the two, looking over the scarlet haired woman took a hesitant step back as a giant snow enemy rose and turned towards towards the other blonde. Reaching for the Golden and Crimson hilt of her new weapon she couldn't help not to draw it, not from fear, rather lack of logic. Why should she attack?, it's not she would be able to do anything. Gazing back forth between the other players she sighed, she couldn't abandon them either.

A gush of air condensed in front of the blonde's face as she sighed. She watched it, as it dissipated around her. "Wow" she uttered softly, staring at the spot where the monster had been and then darting her eyes towards the other blonde's weapon. "That was... something." She added, quite awestruck with the whole deal. Hunie let her shoulder's drop, feeling the weight of the danger lift. "You must be a much higher level than I am..." Though the green eyed girl meant that as a compliment her voice was tainted with a hint of regret. I wish I wasn't so slow, I want to be able to help and do things in the game too... she thought a little ruefully. The cold air was freezing her ears, she lifted the soft hood of her white coat and pulled it over her head. Apart from getting NPCs to relentless provide me with small goodies I need to survive, I haven't accomplished much. The girl's thoughts wandered, attesting her uselessness. "You're really good..." She said addressing the other blonde again. Meanwhile Hunie noticed that the red haired girl was willing to help too, but either she changed her mind before, or later having realised the job was already done.

She eyed the other girl carefully, curiously even. Hunie wanted to understand people like Crimsa, they were very different from the kind of girls Hunie had been exposed to. Although the girls Sophie met could just be putting up a front, considering the circumstances they were introduced in. Hunie only got to interact with other people her age during contrite dinners and such, where they were always surrounded by rich judgemental parents who were keenly observing the other children. No room for being so... open there. Hunie thought. The blonde was approaching Crimsa slowly and carefully, weighing her options.  Just then, Hunie noticed a UI window pop up to notify her of the fact that she had finished a quest called 'Avalanche.' Distracted and suddenly excited she hopped and cheered. "Oh! That was a quest! It was a quest! Thank you, thank you so much Ariel" She announced happily. "I really need to finish as many quests as I can..." Hunie added.

"I did no such thing!" replied the blonde while glaring at the crimson slanderer, showing a slight blush at the mention of the word 'cute' to describe something of hers. Despite the denying tone, she showed a smile once noticed that she too had unsheathed her weapon. The blonde could just assume that she too wanted to aid the armor clad girl and thought that regardless of level that kind of spirit was a unique trait possessed by a handful. Despite them not being in a group, for the fact of them being in close proximity of the now defeated quest mob, all three of them should've received the quest ending pop up. The blonde simply canceled hers as she got minimum rewards for being way too overleveled for it.

She then directed her gaze at Hunnie who showed a enthusiastic response to the overall situation. She sheathed her weapon and lightly scratched her cheek as she replied: "Yes, I'm a bit overleveled for the level recommendation for this quest." not really wanting to flaunt the actual numbers, accepting the following compliment with a nod. Was she this happy too when she did this quest? well yeah but even the first time she did have the help of her friends then helped the two aspiring members of the Crimson Blades. "I have to ask, why would you guys wonder around here alone? except for the <<Avalanche>> quest here, there is a much harder one not too far. Mind if I ask what levels are you guys?" Maybe her intervention was unrequited and she merely got into their way... but she couldn't shake the feeling that they were way too unprepared for those couple of quests.

[Crimsa 0]

Letting out a sigh she pulled back her whip, recoiling the demonic weapon before hooking it to the side of her waist. She was too slow, of all people to hesitate it should not have been her. placing a hand against her forehead the scarlet haired woman took a deep breath to calm her mind. "Well at least that's out of the eh?" slightly startled as a translucent window popped up in front of her, reading through the words she frowned. She had literally done nothing, deciding to take it as it was Crimsa closed the notification and faced the other two players. 

"See..." Placing a hip on her side the woman smirked as she spoke. "you approached me, after my offer. I could only assume that you were willing and offering yourself to my advance." moving through the snow she met them halfway. "Though you stopped so I thought you needed motivation, hence why I stepped forward..."  Crimsa may have been one for pushing her luck, but she never did anything without permission. Or rather assumed permission. "If I had known you wouldn't have enjoyed it I wouldn't have done it" extending out her hand she offered a friendly smile. "So let's kiss and make out-er...up!" she chuckled. 

Tilting her head to the side the scarlet hair woman formed a puzzling look. "well...as I said I was looking for my servant/soon to be husband." she repeated herself with the new addition onto the boy's title to her. "and I'm level two, at least I was."

Raising an arched brow to the smaller chested blonde's reaction Crimsa couldn't help but smirk, "Someones quite happy." Tapping her finger she listened to the other player's words as she dwelled in her thoughts, if she made friends of these two they would become useful future assets. Giving a quick once over of her fellow woman among the group she smiled, then again one of them had gotten her attention. "so...I don't believe we all got a chance to formally introduce one another, though I did myself I will do so once again. You may call me Crimsa if you already hadn't" she slightly joked.

[Hunie 0]

As Hunie had expected, Crimsa the one who hadn't formally tried to attack resumed the conversation with the other blonde. "You're going to marry your man servant, wait where did you get a servant here Crimsa?" Hunie asked, the expression painted on her face, matching the incredulous statement Crimsa had just made. If Hunie dived into her small vat of experience she had, the kind she had gained by watching a plethora of movies a reading shelves and shelves of book, the girl could see the implication, but such things happened only in movies right? Hunie's naivety would probably surprise most, but having had no real exposure to such things, telling reality apart from fantasy was very difficult for the girl. A part of her wished she could believe that she had had a run in with some exotic NPCs, but the interaction was a little too human for that to be true. Hunie tried hard to make herself invisible, but she had earned some attention, simply because of all the exclamatory happiness she displayed over having finished the quest.

"I guess, I am... I like finishing things. Gives me a sense of achievement" Hunie responded to Crimsa, who had gone on to introduce herself again. "I'm level 8, think I must be 9 after finishing this quest..." Hunie said thoughtfully. Ariel went on to talk about the other quests this floor offered. "Honestly, I was aiming for another quest, I'd heard of someone tell me that a quest on this floor gives you a chance to enchant your equipment, I was hoping to find that and finish that so I can better my gear." Hunie declared. The soft snow melted against her breast plate and her lips quivered a little thanks to the cold. Her nose had obtained a red hue, but her green eyes shined brightly with curiosity and glee for having run into such interesting people and for finishing an extra quest.

[Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0]

"What offer..." muttered the blonde as she looked at Crimsa with a disbelieving expression. But not wanting to talk more about the matter, mostly because she was starting to feel embarrassed again by the topic, she took a deep breath and the sighted. "you know what? nevermind... let's all act like it didn't happen" She then took the extended hand and offered a smile: "Kayla Ariel D'Sole.... Ariel, The crowned lion... as the nickname puts it but Ariel is fine with me as long as I don't hear any smartass comparison with my marine counterpart." she ended with a shake of her head as she instinctively added the last part and then send them both, two invites: One was a friend request, the other one a group request. "I'd like to add you both in a party, to keep an eye on your HPs as we stand here, never know what might spawn next to us. And it's my instinct as a Knight to watch over aspiring players. I say you're quite bold to be here, both of you. Most players stay in the 'Noob Town' at the first floor, leaving things up to the frontline team." she added not really blaming them but stating facts. She would evade the detail of telling them her level as people seem to look at that instead of the person behind the numbers but she also forgot that if the girls would accept her party request, they will able to see it near her HP bar and guild logo.

She directed her attention towards Hunnie "that one is the much harder quest I was talking about. It spawn a beast,like this one but several times more powerful that is even capable of dealing damage through the toughest armor..." said the blonde as she remembered bits and pieces of the quest info she had gathered before doing it herself a long time ago.

[Crimsa 0]

Taking a step closer to the woman known as Hunie, which totally sounded like something a person would lick. Something she...would lick. "well sweetie...we have a complicated relationship." She left off letting the two woman only imagine what complicated entailed. Clicking her tongue as she peeked around miss shiny armor's side she shrugged, nothing really special...at least to her. But of course there was always time to grow, she would keep an eye on this one. Pressing a hand against her chin she backed away giving the player her space. "as for where to get a servant?, well you should be able to figure that one out once you fill out your natural form a bit more~" she cooed in a false loving tone. 

Frowning as the blonde woman sent her a friend request she declined it and offered a nervous smile. "Sorry babe, but you're gonna have to wait on that one. Mr. Boytoy is a bit overprotective at times and to be fair I do like seeing you living" She wasn't trying to be rude in any way and normally she would accept a request like such from such a beauty, but she had promised her boyfriend to clear everyone with him to make sure she was safe. Letting out a huff of air she sighed. Honestly sometimes he was too much, but he was the only one she'd met to wear her out so quickly. Finding no issues with joining a party with the player Crimsa nodded and tapped the confirm circle. "well you girl's decide on what's going on cause I really didn't plan on taking a quest for a while, but here I am. so I guess if you two do another one I wouldn't mind tagging along."

[Hunie 0]

Hunie jumped on the chance to accept the friend request and the party request that Ariel had sent the two of them. "Oh thanks! Never hurts to know more people." With the corner of her eye, the longsword wielder noticed a number, much significantly larger than her's, near Ariel's health bar. Choosing not to pay much attention to it, she just smiled. When the other blonde talked of the quest Hunie initially had her target set on, she was a little shocked. "Ignores mitigation?" Hunie asked in surprise. "Oh! What was the point of getting this armour then..." The blonde whined a little. "I guess I can't go do that quest now then..." she finished. And heaved a long sigh, followed by a quick intake of cold air. Hunie winced and was bodily thrown back a few centimetres as a sneeze escaped her mouth. It wasn't a loud sneeze such atrocities were frowned upon where she came from.

The blonde had masked it well with her hand, not that there was any risk of virulent viruses or bacterial infections in the game. But, despite that, the fact that this game had such control over her senses, that it could make her sneeze, was surprising. How much of the body and its function has Kayaba mapped out? Hunie wondered. the blonde listened to the red haired girl diligently, her words giving meaning to Hunie's predictions. When she heard the bit about still needing to fill out, she gave another cursory glance to her armor clad chest. "Oh - er that's because of the arm-" Realising she didn't really need to defend her body she let her brows knit together. "Umm... I don't care for people who have such superficial predilections." She stated, fully aware that that statement rendered a large fraction of men (and women) off of her list. Her very hidden confrontational side had reared its head at Crimsa, just for a second before Hunie managed to shove it down again. "I mean... To each their own..." She mumbled and took a few steps back to make some physical distance, in indication of the mental one. 

Upon Crimsa accepting the party request too, Hunie noticed the number next to her health bar was a little smaller. Quickly, in view of the other girl's safety Hunie spoke "Well since, I'm not ready for the tougher quest on this floor, I'll just be satisfied with what I accidentally got for now... Thanks to your help!" She stated, with a quick glance towards the blonde. "Are you guys upto anything else today?" She asked in a manner of formality, hoping she didn't need to tag along with the two, in case things got awkward again. Hunie was itching to leave, it was too cold and unpleasant on this floor. Now that her mission had been thwarted due to things out of her hands, she had no reason to linger in the snow. The girl rubber her hands together in impatience. "If not, I think I'll head back to my inn... and we can keep in touch and meet again?" She said with a smile. "After your man-serv- the man, has cleared us of course." She finished a little sharply and gently bowed to Crimsa. 

[Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0]

At the word 'complicated' the blonde's first thought went to.... different things but decided against voicing any of them. Whatever she meant it was clearly between her and this 'boytoy'. When the subject went towards certain sizes, Ariel couldn't help but show a smirk. He had confidence in her own body that had been shaped beautifully by her IRL hobby that later turned into a profession. She couldn't help but follow Crimsa's gaze as she looked at Hunnie. She couldn't really see the issue there as she had normal proportion, in fact as a Tailor she would prefer her models to be more modest in a certain area. It made her job much more easier and she could put accent on other parts without trying to hard.

The blonde simply shrugged at the refusal of the friend invite: "He seems like a interesting character." she added on a normal tone, appearing as she ignored the indirect warning she'd got from the crimson girl. Now her curiosity was slightly piqued as to see who this guy was and if he really deserved all this 'praise' this girl was giving him. He might as well have been some deviant that liked showing off to low levels in order to impress. But that was for another time to discover as she heard Hunnie speak dejectedly about giving up on the other quest. "Hey we can still do it. I mean you guys would have to take a more passive role and let me get its hate as a tank. But I think we can take it down easily." a small smile creeped on her face as she saw the irony in that... a extremely light weighted damage dealer stepping in as a tank in a fight against a giant. Her own little David vs. Goliath situation.
