Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

“Oh well, that is very thoughtful of you ‘Tully’ but, like your sister, I don’t see nudity as being taboo. Do you think that’s weird considering what has happened to me?”

"Well, maybe, but at the same time I think it is a testament to your noble integrity that you have held your beliefs despite all that," Catullus says, a bit dazzled by Kallithyia's exposed splendour, "Though I must admit that your beauty is flattering and tempting when you're like this."

“They only hurt when they are created but as you can see I wasn’t much of a model slave. In fact they compared my stubbornness to some animal… I forget the name.”

"It makes me sad to see them, though, because it makes me imagine the pain you must have felt when they happened...How could you bear, that, Kallithyia? You are so strong...Much stronger than I would be."

“Tully? Do you think I’m stubborn?”

"Well, you are pretty stubborn, but not to the point of foolishness--you've always been able to choose the right choice so far...And really, it is partially that stubbornness that must have helped you persevere all this time...Maybe, in time, now that you are free, you will grow less stubborn if you try."

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]* Kallithyia, leaf dress in hand, stops and steers, eyebrow arched curiously, at Catullus after his truthful confession regarding her naked for. Her reaction surprised her, if any other man had made such a confession she would been worried at the least, though more than likely she would have drawn up defensively and been ready to strike, but her she only stopped and considered his words. *

“Well, it is a good thing we trust each other the way that we do, Tully,” Kallithyia said softly as she continued to consider his words but soon she spoke again, “Tully? Does my body tempt you simply because its in a nude taboo state for you or do you truly consider it beautiful even with all flaws caused by many scars?”

* She watched him, she was very curious of his reaction as by the discovery that she liked it when he said she was beautiful. After all the men, after all the suffering they had cause her kalli did think she would ever want to be on the same planet as one, yet, her she was in the same room with one and more peculiar she liked it when he complimented her. *

OOC: RA, let me know if this deviates to far down an unwanted path but so far I think we can both be happy with this exchange.

"Yes, it is good that we can trust each other, as trust helps build a lasting friendship. I have to admit that when my Sister first started getting naked so blithely it was a bit disconcerting, but I have gotten used to it, so the temptation comes from the fact that you are truly beauty, despite all of the scars. I can only imagine how splendid you will look when the coconut milk has healed and purified you."

(OOC: No, it's totally cool with me I think it will make the game more interesting for sure )

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]* Kallithyia nodded in agreement, for the most part she agreed with Catullus words but her mood turned, and tears formed, as she realized for the first time that at some point in her captivity she had stopped considering herself beautiful. *

“I’m not sure I can imagine myself without the scars, Tully,” kalli stammered as she fault valiantly against the tears that were forming uncontrolled, “let alone as being beautiful…”

* Her tears where not flowing out of pettiness, kalli more than anyone on the ship knew how the coconut milk would rejuvenate her scarred body, but out of the realization that she was truly free, that she could be healed and it wouldn’t be a pointless act, that she could finally grieve for the pain and suffering she had experienced during her horrible ordeals… *

OOC: Good, and I agree, and the above was totally unplanned till Catullus spoke in the last post.

"Believe it Kallithyia. You are truly beautiful," as he sees Kallithyia crying, Catullus seems a bit uneasy, and he confesses why immediately, "I'm sorry--normally if I saw a lady crying, I would offer her a shoulder to cry on, since it usually helps them overcome the tears to have gentle arms around them, but I know you don't like that, so I feel a bit bad that there's nothing I can do to help you with your tears...I hope that they are cathartic though, that they can help you rediscover yourself."

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]* Kalli dumbly nods her head at his words. She didn’t know what to do but her grief quickly and instinctively drove her to Catullus’ side were she lowered her head into his chest and whimpered, cried, and spoke mostly incomprehensible about the tortures she had endeared. *[/sblock]

*Catullus gently puts his arms around her and listens carefully and compassionately to Kalli's words without judging her, whispering kind and comforting words in her ear. If she doesn't recoil from his touch, he strokes her back gently, in a slow calming rhythm, doing his best to comfort her.*

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]* Kalli made no effort to pull away from Catullus soothing embrace and he soon found that while her skin would soon be smooth right now it was rough and cracked like sun-parched dirt but finally, after some time and lots of tears, kalli shuddered less and less as the grief left her… *

“I’m sorry, Catullus,” she said sheepishly as she looked at the floor to ashamed to look at him as she left his embrace, “that was inappropriate of me… Please forgive me.”

* Kalli understood her need to grieve but silently cursed herself for being so foolish in doing so. Though what truly bothered her most was that she had allowed Catullus to touch her, why had she allowed it? Had she seek it out on purpose? And if so why? There was just an unending number of questions and not one made Kalli feel comfortable. *[/sblock]

"It is okay, Kallithyia. Truly. It made me feel better that there was something I could do to help, and I'm glad that you feel better now. Would you like the coconuts now before you put on your new dress?"

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]* Actually Kallithyia did want the coconuts, after her grief had left her she had realized just how tried of being scarred she was, but she resisted the urge as the image of Catullus rubbing the sticky milk upon her naked form filled her mind… *

* It seemed surreal, but not, and truth be told she wasn’t sure what to think of the image as spreading the coconut milk upon another was a highly charged emotional and physical experience for Palmaids. It was their ultimate, and favored form of foreplay, and it lead to only one thing… Which bothered and confused Kallithyia immensely. *

“No, no,” Kallithyia shook her head, but she wasn’t just emphasize her words she was trying to clear the thought from her head, and replied slowly, “no, coconuts, Catullus, and if this is the dress you would prefer I wear than I will wear it.”

* She frowned to herself, even her own words failed her, as she bent down and picked up the leaf dress that she had somehow managed to drop in her grief. * [/sblock]
