Sakura laughs out loud at that. "Wow, priestesses have to where that. I think it'd give Adir a heart attack. One of your regular dresses is probably a better idea." That one is even extreme for Cessie, which is crazy.
[At the Cliffs]
"Well, easier in some ways." Sara says, not entirely convincingly. "I better let you tend to them, though, It was nice talking to you, though, and meeting your kids." Sarah looks down at her own children. "Say goodbye you two."
"Bye."
"Bye."
They echo each other. Without much more delay, Sarah will head off.
"I have actually never worn it." The sorceress admits as she places it on a nearby chair. "I had a smaller one, being only a child at the time." She states while picking out a dress which is unusually wide at the chest and the hips. "I have this one just in case." Just in case of what I wonder. "But I think it will fit you pretty well."
Sakura starts laughing with a snort. She covers her mouth and manages the suppress the giggles. "Just in case, huh?" She reaches out to take it and hold it in front of herself. "It's a bit long, but I think it'll fit fine."
Cessie can't help but to join in into her friends laughter but quickly reverts back to her ever so stoic expression once the dryad managed to calm her giggle. "Just in case." Cessie promises with a amused smile breaking in. "Try it on, I haven't seen you in a dress like that since my wedding day."
[Keep - Message]
Well then, Watch had to see this. The sorceress folds back the letter and puts it in a small pocket of her dress. She would have wanted to talk to her husband first but she isn't sure if he was busy or not at the moment.
On the Way
((Kirin usually greet new guests as they arrive at the keep so you have to wait for LostDeep.))
"Alright, one sec." Sakura goes to put the dress on. Cessie's dresses are sure hard to get in compared to her own, so it's a couple minutes before Sakura returns wearing it.
"Tada!" She does a little spin. "I'm lucky I fit into this thing. I must have already forgotten just how big I got last time I was pregnant." She runs her hands over where the dress is a bit strained over her stomach.
"I'm actively trying to forget how big I were while pregnant, so I don't blame you." She says while giving Sakura a nod of approval. "You look very good in it though. Sure you don't want it? The color suits you." She had a lot of dresses just like it after all.
"What happened to 'just in case'?" Sakura asks amusedly. "Unless you have a whole Harnel emergency wardrobe. You know, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were secretly trying to get me to wear more clothes like yours." The dryad looks at her with mock suspicion.
"That's just because I think you look nice in them." Cessie replies smiling, "Besides, I do have more Harnel emergency dresses. If something happens I can't just be stuck with just one can I?" Using a two days in a row? Inconceivable!
Sakura giggles. "Well, I could use some warmer clothes for winter. I bought a couple good ones and I have a few different jackets to wear too. I don't really need too much to keep warm, though." She looks down at the dress. "I wouldn't mind wearing clothes like this normally, but I don't think I'll ever like how restrictive they feel."
"There is that." Cessie replies. "I have to admit they are pretty clunky at times but I think they look very good and I feel naked in everything else." She comments while taking out another of her dresses from the wardrobe, this one in black and blue with silver-colored linings. "I can hardly imagine myself without them." Even if she have worn a lot of other clothes, she always go back to that.
Sakura moves over to take a look at the latest dress to leave Cessie's closet. "Oh well, we just have different taste. Like how dark that one is. I don't think dark colours suit me at all."
"Then you should wear a lighter color when we met up with your dear husband." Cessie says with a grin. "I still like to see the look on his face." She muses, hoping Adir will react the way she thinks he will.
Sakura giggles. "You and me both. The trick is actually making him think that I'm serious. He might know me too well, though." It'll still be fun either way she's sure.
"It all depends on you then, so we should make up a story. Why do you suddenly want to change clothes? You don't want other men than Adir looking at your body?" You forgot lesbians and bisexuals there Cessie, there are a lot of them in the nexus you know?
"Sure, that'll work. I can't bear to have anyone but my one love see my body." Sakura says with over the top theatrics. She keeps it up for all of two seconds before breaking down into a fit of giggles.
"Hey, I can be more serious. It's just funny." Sakura says after she's managed to collect herself. "I could probably even be an actress if I wanted to." She nods.
Now, purely coincidentally, Kirin steps out of the front door of the keep. She was going to go do something, clean something or some such, but when she sees the people approaching the keep she stops.
Cessie gives her friend an amused look. "Really now?" She says, barely able to keep herself from giggling at this point. "Why don't you pretend that I'm Adir then? Convince me that you're going to keep those clothes from now on."
"Alright." Sakura's gonna show her! She moves closer to Cessie and tries to grab her hands, and then looks up into her eyes. "Adir, I can't wear my old clothes anymore. I never really realized, but I just felt so... naked with just them on. I don't want other people to be looking at my body. So I got this dress from Cessie, and this is the sort of thing I'm gonna wear from now on." She finishes. It'd almost be convincing if Sakura could have wiped that amused smile off her face.
The sorceress laughs out loud once Sakura is done, "Okay, you're actually better then I thought. Maybe you should mention some event which made you realize it though? Like some guys staring at you?" She asks in a amused voice.
Sakura laughs along with Cessie and drops her hands. "Some creepy guy when we were out, sure. That'll work." Sakura nods. The plan is all coming together.
The sorceress nods in agreement. "I wonder if we could play the same prank on Harnel but the other way around, that might be easier actually considering I think my dear husband would want to believe that." She muses.
"Poor Harnel would be so disappointed when you told him it was a joke." Sakura says with a silly grin. "I'm not sure you can surprise him though. Not with all the special dresses you have already."
"Erm... there was some time since I used those." Cessie admits, she had nearly forgotten about them. "Haven't even bought anything like that since I got pregnant... I wonder if I still fit into them?" Considering she's pretty much back in her old size I wouldn't be surprised. Some people are very lucky.
The sorceress get's off the chair and starts to look through the wardrobe again, going much deeper this time to that hidden corner where she keeps all her more private clothes. Such as underwear.
"There is always this thing that I heard some 'sorceress' worn" She says while holding up a dress mostly consistent of scraps of clothing and chuckles at it. "But Harnel knows I would never wear this in public, just looking at it makes me laugh. I'm not sure I even could keep the top from gliding off when I walk without the help of eldritch."
"I bet you fit in them fine. You barely have any baby weight on you any more." Sakura pokes at Cessie's hips. "Look at this, I can actually feel bone. Not like me." Sakua grabs at her own love handles. They're still present, even if being pregnant has made them not very noticeable.
