Alida pouted, her eyes tearing up,<span style="color: #408000">"No?"</span>she questioned softly. Izu didn't say anything and so Alida tried again, this time trying to be less demanding,<span style="color: #408000">"Alida want, please!"</span>Again, Izu was silent and Alida began to whimper pitifully, upset that Izu was not allowing her into the hot waterfall.<span style="color: #408000">"Please, Izu..."</span>she said in her broken English. Izu gave a sigh, then moved over some, motioning for her to get in. Alida perked up immediately, even though her eyes were still watery and eagerly joined Izu.<br/><br/>She was happily snuggled against Izu, who had tried in vain to move about with her body pressed against his. She seemed quite content and not at all bothered by their proximity or Izu's lively body parts. Izu had suddenly forced Alida completely into the water and she sputtered, but adjusted quickly. That is, until Izu's arms came around to remove the bandages from her wing.<br/><br/>She tensed up, her arms coming around Izu's waist in fear of whatever pain was to follow. She knew that he was likely just checking on her injuries, but still she was afraid of people touching her wings. Izu kept his touch gentle as he inspect the injury, causing Alida to close her eyes and nuzzle her face into Izu's chest. It wasn't terribly painful, but it was still uncomfortable and how afraid she was of the possibility of pain did not help.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF0000">"Good. It stayed closed,"</span>he finally said as he stopped probing the injury. Alida only understood the word good and sighed in relief, though she kept her arms around Izu. He was such an odd, grumpy man, but still good. She decided to tell him so,<span style="color: #408000">"Izu. Izu good." </span>She looked up at him then with a tiny smile of appreciation, happy to have had someone like Izu help her. He may have been a moody bastard, but she could tell he was a good person deep inside.<br/><br/>It was then Alida seemed to finally realize that Izu was naked, something he had been so vehemently against her being. She frowned a little and took a step back, or rather leaned back a little to scan Izu's defined frame.<span style="color: #408000">"Izu naked. Izu say no naked," </span>she stated, obviously trying to point out Izu's hypocrisy along with asking him why he was naked if he was so intent on keeping her dressed.
