Zelda finds Jean's note on the counter in the morning, her heart sinking. She reads through it carefully, then again, failing to fully process it. The house feels strange without them.

"...Pomni?" she calls out quietly through the cottage.

Zelda slips into the bedroom quietly, holding the paper and looking distraught.

"It's Jean, they--- they left."

"...I don't... I don't think so, Pomni." Zelda hands over the paper, sitting on the bed. She buries her face in her hands. "They took Jon, too. Oh, goddess. Why wouldn't they let me help...?"

Zelda leans into Pomni, resting her head on top of the other woman's.

"...No, love, I don't think there is. Aside from hoping."

It's a hot day here in the late Spring, and Erin decides to take her day off up the mountain and to the hot springs. It is not an unmotivated decision; sure, she needs to relax, and some time out in relative privacy can be good for her in small doses, but no word of a lie, she's fishing for a hookup. Someone fun, to exhaust herself with, maybe enough to have a real conversation without the swirl of emotions in her head and the biting fear still lingering from the ship...

So it is that she comes up the mountain by rail, and slips peacefully into the changing rooms. Erin still doesn't really have a bathing suit, something she's not sure she wants to fix (it gives her an excuse to bully the delightful Ms. Whitlock...), and in any event if she's here for what she's here for there might as well be no pretense. Still, she's not reasonably expecting someone else to already be out here in the early afternoon, having arrived early to maybe size up people coming off from their work days.

But someone is already here, isn't she? Someone who gets to see Erin come out from the changing rooms on the water side of the hot springs, bare except for her blindfold, in all her glory. Erin Peters is tall - six-two, at least - and her body already has a soft sheen of sweat. Tattoos quite literally flow all over her arms, her torso, her legs, sheet music that moves and dances as if being played, though there is no audible song. Instead, all around her and swirling whenever her raven's wings flick or adjust is a mantle of phantasmal gunpowder which crackles merrily, like sparklers, filling the air with the scents of sex and gunpowder.

The blindfold Erin Peters wears lets her see people, but it's not very good at objects. But from the smile on her face when she spots Pomni, she likes something she's seeing.

"Well aren't you cute," Erin almost purrs. "See something you like?"

She slides down onto the edge of the spring, sitting with her legs in the water and leaning forward. It is, absolutely, nine thousand and one percent, a move to give Pomni a better view of Erin's breasts. They have an odd quality to them that is perhaps familiar to the little jester, that almost game-like attribute of not quite behaving the way gravity should make them behave, perkier than they ought to be.

For that matter, a lot of Erin has that quality. There are no scars, no signs of wear on her body, no marks except those shifting tattoos...

"Pomni, right? I've heard tell of a tiny sailor dating the militia captain and the captain of Mipha's Grace, but you never seemed to want to chat with me when you've been out drinkin' with 'em."

"Erin Peters, do call me Erin. No one I like calls me Peters." God but this jester is so very cute. Erin's gunpowder haze pops and sizzles merrily, making cartoon images of jester's caps in the smoke, and her smile widens fondly. "It's nice to meet you all formal-like, Pomni. C'mere, I wanna tell you something."

Erin gestures for the small lass to approach, and pats her thigh to offer a seat. There is an unspoken but somehow very clear awareness that what she wants is for Pomni to get on her lap so Erin can whisper.

It's warm, near Erin, but not the warmth of the day or the spring; once one gets near her it's as if you've entered a March afternoon, with the sun shining after the rain, her gunpowder haze leaving points of pleasant warmth against the skin instead of the sharp burning one might expect. Once Pomni is settled on her soft thighs, Erin folds her black wings around them both, as if to shelter them from the world.

Her arms, on the other hand, embrace Pomni just beneath her chest, loose but supportive.

Her breath is hot as she puts her lips to Pomni's ear: "I came up here looking to make friends with someone cute and maybe take them home tonight too," comes the murmur, full of promise. "My partners and I aren't exclusive...and I'm hoping I'm about to hear the same back, because I like what I'm seeing too. I wanna see that cute blush while I make you sing."

"If you ever hear me saying no to that, I've been possessed," Erin says with, well, not gravity, but Enough Gravity, as it were. "You just come on back when you're ready; I've got all day."

It's still a moment before those wings unfurl, before Erin lets Pomni go, because she's warm and small and willing and holding her feels like she's protecting someone, and Erin...likes that feeling a lot. But let Pomni go she does; Erin leans back while the little jester goes to her stone, lounging on display...and leaving Pomni's seat open, if she wants to return to it.

Part of Erin is glad that the stone seems to be so close. It's actually a relief to be able to eavesdrop on part of this, to be sure it's on the level.

"See that's the kind of offer that gets you dragged into the bushes at random for a fun surprise, of a night," Erin purrs. She leans forward, leans in, and cups Pomni's cheek in one warm palm.

Her voice softens, even if her Mantle does no such thing, resplendent as it is. "I know that look," she murmurs. "And sure, I don't know you, and you're probably thinking something like 'once she does I'll annoy all the interest out of her', right? But...excuse the forthcoming pun." Her lips quirk into a wry half-smile, a little sad and a little fond, "that's a pretty funny thought to have, isn't it? Word around the place is that Captain Zelda and that Jean fella are successful, and liked, and I gotta say, Zelda? Hot. And you seem to have sustained their interest, so...what'cha thinkin', is it more likely that all three of us have dogshit taste, or that you're cute and interesting?"

"Oh we'll talk about taste later when we can lounge and discuss our partners. For right now...you were staring at something earlier, and there's a conspicuous lack of you touching what you were staring it."

The touch gets a satisfied sigh out of Erin; her breasts are sensitive, and she pulls Pomni closer, settling the smaller lass onto her lap herself so that the touching doesn't have to stop. Erin presses a kiss to Pomni's forehead, still making soft little sighs as Pomni's thumbs tease her. "That's perfect," Erin murmurs; she turns Pomni's head to nibble at the top of her ear, her wings folding again...

"Let me tell you what I want," Erin whispers. "I want, more than anything right now, to feel wanted...and to leave you happy, and tired, and in my bed after we make out the whole ride back down the mountain. I don't want you to touch my hair for any reason, it's...not for other people."

She leaves that statement hanging, but again that completely unspoken understanding, comprehensible without words with an odd certainty: the question not asked, but unmistakably present, is this: what is it you want?

A warm, throaty chuckle. "Not to suddenly turn into a philosopher, but that depends. On the day, on my mood, on my partner..." She kisses Pomni's cheek, leaving behind a lingering warmth that smells faintly of lavender. "Sometimes I wanna be touched, and sometimes I wanna do the touching, and sometimes it's nice to have something just shy of a fight about it. But I don't wanna fight you..."

Her hands trickle down Pomni's back, and finally stop on the small clown's butt. She squeezes, kneading, teasing...

"...I do have a spot of shapeshifting on the table," Erin adds, thoughtfully. "We could slide into the water, and I can find something fun to rail you with. I like how you feel cuddled up against me like this, Pomni. I wanna hold you and feel your whole body when you cum. So. If you're into penetration at all, the question on the table is -"

"- cock, or tail? I haven't done the tail in awhile..."
