Haia Star Home

The enjoyment from this was truly something quite fascinating. It would make one wonder if regular humans envied to the animal-like folk these traits, the enhanced senses. And not only in these situations, it made those that were kin to Noheme actually superior to the regular humans in may ways. Though some would surely see it differently and be disgusted by those with animal features, comparing them to animals themselves and how low they can be considered in the food chain and society. And truly, the enhanced senses could be of danger as well when targeted by a strong source. The fact that the goddess was deriving pleasure from all this was only because Haia was actually gently, but if she was to tug on that tail or ears, the pain would be equally great or even worse.

Same would go for over stimulation by pleasure to the point where she would be unable to properly control her body because her brain would be just far too busy enjoying itself and sending positive shocks into the living flesh. Thankfully they weren't quite at that level just yet, and if it was to happen, Noheme had her ways of preventing herself from becoming an adorable and helpless little puppy that would have to obey every whim of whoever would control the pleasure income. At least it seemed that the maid that was currently taking care of her had no interest in doing anything of such nature, which was good too. It would be awful shame if the fox girl would be forced to forcefully end this little black-haired maiden because she suddenly became hostile.

But that was even difficult to imagine, given the current situation. Those small hand trailing on her back almost felt like a gentle massage, something that Noheme could certainly use. Most of her muscles were stiff and tired from the journey from Joya to here, and no wonder. Perhaps she really should have taken an airship that flies high above the mountains, but that would not be as much of a fun! She only wished that Haia would put a little bit more strength into her touches, so it could actually count as a real massage and not just caressing. Though she did make a little mistake... and that was when her hands went for the neck, an exposed area that was rather sensitive on the goddess' mortal body.

The moment her soft hand touched there, Noheme turned around at lightning speed, grabbing Haia's hands by their wrists and pushing the poor girl into the bed, pressing her back against the soft sheets that were compressed slightly under their weight. There was more of a wild, alarmed look in the goddess' eyes now, an almost automatic reaction that activated the moment this girl went for a part that could be considered a weakness, a place that was rather vulnerable and prone to drastic injuries. Indeed, it would take a great deal of trust and affection for her to let someone touch her neck at all, from any angle. So right now, they were in rather interesting position, staring into the eyes of one another.

It was as if the fox almost didn't register her own movement and action. It really was completely automatic defensive process where she merely repelled the enemy that could endanger her life, even though that clearly was not the case. But one could not command their instincts, especially the ones that were made in order to protect one's life. And the goddess was no different from this at all, especially while residing inside of mortal body made out of warm flesh and blood. She was limited by it, forced to live by it's rules. That was the price of walking the same plains as those mortals that worship her, the price of knowledge that she could gain this way.

Only Haia's words would wake up those fixated eyes that were staring at the short girl, or perhaps even past her into the unknown. And once Noheme did come to her senses and saw that grin, she chuckled lightly. She really got herself into one interesting situation, did she not? She would have never expected an outcome like this from breaking into one's home from disparity of hunger. But she was glad that things turned out this way. After all, she already managed to find a girl this cute and willing instead of someone that would shoo her away with broom, call for witch hunt on the thief and scoundrel. Yes, her decision was pretty questionable when you looked at the situation from that point of view, but she was really, really hungry and not capable of thinking straight because of that. So one could blame her only half the way in, right?

In any case, she could have as well take a little joy from this situation. Though she wasn't actually about to ravage the young lass that was beneath her, even though she most likely could. That just wasn't her style... yes, she was a big tease and flirt, but going all the way in such short time was far too quick and would lose it's charm incredibly fast. So she just winked and pulled out her tongue, which was longer and more pointy than the one of humans. "Oh, what a shame. It would appear that your clothes are in the way. Even when I'm hungry, cloth is simply something I'd rather avoid, even it it is coating a delicious dessert such as yourself~"

After those words, she loosened up her grip on Haia, going back into a sitting position on the edge of the bed and waiting what the girl will do. She was free to stay laying behind her, or she could join her again. Whatever her decision would be, Noheme made sure she would not go against it. One had to know where the line between fun and serious is, after all. And all of this was still in the spirit of some good old fun. Hopefully...

"Well, if you wish to remove your clothes and show me something lovely, then I won't stop you at all."

A short reply to Haia's attempt at the flirting. It really was quite amusing to see the difference between how the girl acted now and before when she first saw Noheme. In fact, the difference was so enormous that it was almost unbelievable. Not many would warm up so quickly to someone who invaded their home in such rude manner and for that fact, the goddess was truly grateful. Blinking few times, she yawned and stretched her arms and legs a little bit, accidentally kicking the transformable table a little bit and making all the plates and silverware atop it jump just a tiny bit. Whatever would she do now? She ate, she had some fun... normally, she would say that this was the perfect moment to make her escape.

But with a girl that was this much fine behind her back, currently doing god knew what? Well, she simply wanted to stay a little bit longer, perhaps even spend the night here. It was drawing to the dusk outside already, the sky changing it's color from clear blue to one tinted by orange and gold. Given the fact that she just arrived, it was rather obvious that she had no home to speak of where she could wait the darkness out. Her plan was to actually just move through the night, exploring the town and it's surroundings. Or if she would get too tired, find herself an empty bench and spell on that. Though asking this maid if she could spend night in this place, well... it felt a little bit strange to the goddess, making her unsure of what to do in this situation.

The goddess did not expect to get that far right now, but she still had to tease the young girl a little bit. After all, it was in her nature. Unless those that were around her would explicitly go against this sort of behaviour, there was absolutely no reason to restrict herself. Why would she anyway? If you were willing to give up your traits, that which defines you as a living being, you may as well take your own life away, as it would be useless holding onto it. Even changing for someone else, it was something completely unthinkable. Instead, one should search for someone who would accept them how they are without demanding a change, because they would know for sure that you're in the right company. Just like Haia over here, she seemed to accept Noheme's teasing side, something that many others would be repulsed by.

It was nice from her, and the goddess incarnate appreciated it. The black-haired maiden was even expressing some sort of affection back, as she scooted over and sat next to the fluffy fox once more, leaning against her body like a lover would. Humans truly were amazing creatures, and odd ones as well. To be able to get this much affection during such a short time... perhaps this woman was unique in that sense, but Noheme had no way of actually knowing. Instead, she simply let her lean against the soft skin this body had. She even managed to read the moon, or perhaps even the goddess' thoughts, offering a place where she could stay the night. Well... she was seeing only this one bed they were sitting at. But given her circumstances, she was more than able to sleep on the floor or somewhere else, as long as she was inside where it was warm and dry.

In any case, she understood where things were. And Noheme did not have any intentions of refusing this lovely offer. After all, you should always accept the kindness of those around you, as it would be rather rude and disrespectful to not do so. Hopping away from the bed, the fox girl stretched out once more and yawned even louder than before. So she really was tired from that rather brutal trip she had... well, that was to be expected. She was in a mortal's body after all, they had limits that gods knew not of. Even though it was not quite night yet, she would not mind getting some extra minutes of sleep. And so, she just kinda started removing her clothes without any warning. And unlike Haia, this wild Joyan did not really know the concept of underwear at all.

The girl payed little attention to Haia while she was removing her attire. Though the tune that was coming from her was something oddly alluring and even calming. In made the goddess' animal ears twitch as she started focusing her senses on her hearing alone, taking it in. For some reason, it reminded her of home. And not the one this flesh vessel had in Joya. The image of celestial plain creeped into her mind along with the melody, making her feel as if she was back there, in her divine form as she called it. Perhaps it was just the mixture of Haia's whistling and the freedom of having no clothes restrict your skin, but it made her feel oddly sentimental and nostalgic.

It made her somewhat want to go back where she came from. Of course, she shook that feeling right off, as her mission in the world of mortals was far from done. And she would not be returning until she had accomplished everything she could, gaining followers and worshipers along every nation in the Earthland. It made her sign a little bit before Haia finally turned around, her posture quickly changing into one of a great embarrassment. She also wasted no time at all, moving to the windows and making sure no one would be able to see inside. It made Noheme look at her own body in questionable manner, wondering if there was maybe something wrong with her. But apart from the tanned skin that was now in the shades of orange thanks to the room's lighting, there was nothing out of the ordinary. She even made sure that there would be no unnecessary 'fur' anywhere.

And finally Haia would speak up her mind, questioning why she was naked like this. Why would she not be, it was quite natural. So the answer she had to provide was rather simple one to say the least. What are you so surprised about? You said I can sleep in your abode, so I'm preparing for that. Who in their right mind would try to sleep with clothes on? They're too restrictive, it's enough I have to wear them during the day. If I could, I would have had ditched them a long time ago, sheesh. It was clear that she was little irritated by the topic, expression her dislike of clothes that she developed the moment she stepped outside of Joya where she had to cover up so much.

While sitting on Haia's bed, Noheme really did not sit in a position that would cover much, her back pretty straightened while her hands were going slightly behind her body and supporting her by acting as pillars between the bed and her shoulders. And her legs, fairly spread apart just like she would sit anywhere else. And the fact that the maid was staring at her quite intensely the whole time was pretty apparent to the goddess as well. Not that she could blame her, not everyone had a chance to gaze upon the divine beauty that this fox girl was. She she let it pass without really commenting on it at all. In fact, she didn't change the position of her body precisely because of that, so she would allow the maid some view at least.

But she still did not understand the fact that people here were so strict about clothes. Sure, the area was definitely colder than the tropical jungles of Joya, but that was no actual reason to forbid one from not wearing anything if they were uncomfortable with it. But oh well, she was inside of Haia's home, which was exactly why she had no fear to ditch her outfit just like that. Because like this, she was breaking no rules at all, right? "I undressed under your roof, that's good enough, right? I can't frigging stay having all this contraptions and death traps on me at all times, especially while sleeping! I would not get one minute of proper sleep with clothes on!" And it was no lie either, as she tried it in the past. It was the reason why sleeping outside was a little bit of a... risk. Not that she could not handle anyone who wanted to take advantage of her, it was more of the breaking rules thing.

She watched as her host partially undressed as well to fit the current setting of this room, but she still left some on. That was quite disappoint. What she said next however, it was quite peculiar and make Noheme tilt her head in questioning manner. "What are you talking about? What's the point in bathing all by yourself when you have company? You actually intend on washing your body, but completely alone behind closed doors? What kind of nonsense is that...?" She understood not. Point of baths was to clean your body as whole. But alone, you could rarely do that. Especially your back and such, how could you possibly reach those parts without someone's help? This made no sense at all to the goddess.

At least the girl was capable of understanding all that. It was simply silly to go and have a bath by her lonesome. The goddess watched as Haia moved down the hallways, eventually disappearing from the sight. But instead of following immediately after her, Noheme merely moved her hands forward, letting her body off balance. Her back quickly pressed against the white sheets as she fell into the bed, sigh following. All of a sudden, she felt exhausted. Was that because of the long journey she went through, or something else? No matter how hard she tried to think about it, there was no answer coming close at all. How strange... she was usually full of life, no matter the situation. Even when exhausted like that. And she was right until now too, so what happened.

Well, there was really no reason to think about it too much. After all, she heard the water pouring into something from a room down the hallway. Smirking lightly, the fox girl stood back up and looked around the room, her body still completely devoid of any clothing at all. Probably looked a bit strange to have someone like her just standing there, bare as on the day she was born. But she intended to not stand there much longer. The moment she heard Haia getting into the tup, the goddess' figure disappeared completely in a flash of black. And where it reappeared. Right above the tub as Noheme landing on it's edge with one left, the other one balancing in the air along with her whole figure as if the edge of the tub was some kind of walking rope in the air.

"I thought you said I would not get this far today. But look at you now, laying there completely bare and at full view for me. I must say, your body is quite adorable, just like the rest of you~"

As she spoke those words in teasing manner, she reminded herself of Joya gain. There, she would bath in natural springs or man-made pools that used water from river or a pond as source. They would not bath every single day there, but when they would, it would be a whole group at once. A solid portion of the whole tribe would be in the same bathing place as their goddess Noheme, and they would take great care of her, washing her body for her. Something like that, it was rather pleasant. Though it did sometimes create the feeling of not being able to do anything by herself. Still, service done by cute girls was still a service done by cute girls. Something that you just do not refuse, no matter the situation. As the thought passed, the fox girl finally jumped to the side, landing in the water right against Haia, some of the liquid spilling out.

The goddess merely stared at the girl right in front of her. For whatever reason, she was seeking shelter beneath the water's surface, which looked more like she wanted to drown herself more than anything. Well, it was her life to play with, so she was free to do whatever she wanted to do in this manner. Though it was quite interesting to see her hair change color like that. And this time, it wasn't like Noheme knew not of what this was. After all, she was from a tribe. Things like body paint or even hair paint was fairly common in places like her home and while the more modern Joyans stopped doing things like this, her tribe did not. Sure, it was mostly done for artistic reasons or to scare off the predators around... but she knew what it was.

Which made a question enter the fox girl's head, why would Haia color her hair like this if simple contact with water was enough to cancel out the color completely? It felt a bit strange, but surely it had it's reason. And the goddess would not pry, at least for now. She too started relaxing her muscles, closing her eyes. Though not for much longer as her senses quickly picked a movement dangerously near her body. A movement from the naked maid right in front of her. With a quick motion, Noheme managed to bite into Haia's fingers before they reached their destination, moving them up above the water. Thankfully for her, she did not bite hard enough for her fangs to go through the flesh, or even draw blood. But there would probably be some marks left on them for a little bit.

Haia's reaction to this situation was somewhat unusual. Normally, people would freak out when they saw their own fingers being between sharp fangs of a beast such as Noheme, even if she was friendly towards them. It was simply that instinct of self-preservation that would kick in, the body not wanting to lose those pretty important fingers. But somehow, she just stared at the fox girl and blushed even deeper. This girl really was hopeless masochist, wasn't she? The goddess would quickly loosen up her jaws, letting the fingers free. But right after that, she would shift her position in the tub. She would lunch forward and grab Haia by her shoulders, pressing her against the end of the bathtub forcefully.

Her eyes were... somewhat narrowed, as if combining annoyed look with one of being confused. She stared at the now brown-haired maid for a while before finally opening her mouth once again. "You are... taking this extraordinary well. Normally, people would throw out an intrude like me, especially after all that transpired. But you're neither afraid of me, nor mad at me. Not that I'm trying to get you into that position, but it's rather unnatural for the order of things in a place like this." Perhaps it was mere curiosity, or maybe it was really because Noheme did not understand the situation. But now that these tho naked girls were pressing one against the other, she just kinda hurled it all out and asked. What was Haia's deal? Why would she take so kindly to someone who stormed into her home like this? It was most strange.

It was said that if you wanted to get through the life successfully, then you should always expect the unexpected. Then, everything would be fine, everything would be accounted for. Noheme heard of this and tried to live by that, though she often failed. Because something like this? This was exactly something rather unexpected that she was meant to know about, but did not. How could she captivate a mortal creature while inside of such roughed up vessel. To Haia, she was nothing more than a Joyan girl that boasted some attractive features. But that was about it, since that was all that this vessel had to offer. It was an empty doll that enveloped the goddess' being, allowing her to walk among other mortals, explore their world from their point of view.

She was doing this for many different reasons, some that she herself did not even know of. And while she was on this quest of hers, she thought that she would be treated like a trash of humanity, something disgusting and unnatural. At least outside of Joya's borders, that was. Why she thought that was a bit unclear even to herself. After all, humans were in fact capable of compassion and love, as clearly demonstrated. It was all swirling inside of the goddess' head, colliding with morals and thoughts that mere mortals could surely not comprehend. Right in front of her was only one of many humans she would meet on her journey nad befriend. Perhaps she was merely confused because she didn't expect things to go this... smoothly.

Yes, surely that was it. For a god to love mortal, it was thing pretty much unheard of outside of fairy tails. And Noheme was a being that did not know the concept of love, it was something that originated inside of humanity. And she was not human, nor she was a creature from Earthland. For the lack of better explanation, she lacked necessary emotions for love. At least now she did. Perhaps things would change later on, but right now, she merely just arrived at Fiore. Starting back at Haia, her ears twitched few times. The maid probably forgot that she was talking to someone who's hearing was nearly perfect. She heard every single word clearly, as if it was whispered to her. Slowly letting go of Haia, she moved one of her hands to the girl's head, cupping her chin in her long and tender fingers, forcing her head and her eyes to look directly at the fox girl.

"You've fed me even when you did not have to. You provided shelter even when you had a full right to show me the door. And most of all, you committed to me in such a short amount of time. For all that, I shall reward you. Let me introduce myself again. I am incarnation of Noheme, the two-faced Goddess of the Moon, worshiped by the tribe of Noheme in the depths of Joya. Be delighted, you've been blessed enough to meet a living god. And you even fell in love with her... if you wish, I'll allow you to become my slave, Haia Illie Starstruck. You can devote yourself to me."

Noheme did not respond in the slightest when Haia lashed out. In the depths of her own soul, she probably even expected that. No, rather than that... things were going exactly as planned? Mortals treasured many different things, some physical and some metaphysical. And one of those things was freedom, the ability to take things into one's own hands and decide what to do with it's own powers and knowledge. It was one of the most treasured things by humans and by becoming slave, one would have to give it up. So perhaps the goddess chose her words in such manner only to create a cold distance between herself and the maid, because they were getting far too close to one another. But truth be told, she herself was confused about it all.

When the girl stormed out of the room, the goddess merely returned to her side of the bathtub and pressed her back against the ceramic material. Almost absentmindedly, she made a circle with her fingers and blew few bubbles into the air with her breath. And with that, she let the water envelop her some more, as her body almost fully submerged. "Human emotions are far too complicated for me to understand yet, Creator. The journey ahead of me is still a long one..." Her words were filled with strange feeling and far too quiet for someone in completely different room to hear. For now, she would remain the in bathroom and finish cleaning herself, since Haia clearly wanted some time by herself.

The goddess took her sweet time bathing, finally being able to clean her body in quite a while. It was pleasant to say the least, if maybe haunted by the fact that Haia didn't finish her business here and was currently in the other room sulking. Well, it was her home, so she was really allowed to do whatever she wanted to. With a sigh, Noheme finally got out. For some reason, her movement was even more quiet than before, almost inaudible to someone without enhanced hearing. She wasn't really aware of which towel was Haia's or someone else's, so she just took a random one and started trying herself, the water dripping from her soaked tail. It took a bit before she could walk around and not leave a train of wet behind her, but she eventually did it.

Not even bothering to clothe herself, not that there was anything to do that with in the room, she walked quietly back, only to stop in the door frame. From there, she had a perfect look at the maid, who was sitting in the window and playing with her own magic. Eventually, the still very much naked goddess would stretch and start walking over, sitting back at the bed they were at before. She did not say a single word, she was merely looking forward into the nothingness. Since she didn't really know what to say, she didn't intend to start a pointless conversation that would only lead to greater misunderstandings and problems. Especially since Haia could at any point throw the fox girl out of this home and leave her on the street.
