Aria raked her teeth over her lower lip as Rose knelt, unable to resist drinking in the sight of her companion from a new angle. Her eyes skied down the upper curves of her beasts, and the backside and buttocks in their now-kneeling pose. She found herself enjoying both the shape of the body as a woman, and that texture of the limber musculature.<br/><br/>She breathed in relief and smiled happily as Rose complimented her tail, her only real trepidation about stripping down and bathing with Rose now dispelled. She glanced down at her own tail, past the curves of her own lithe body with which she was now making the inevitable and rather enjoyable mental comparisons to the other woman's. Her skin was somewhere between ivory and peach, lighter where clothes both usually covered and didn't, perhaps form the far northern heritage of generations before and the environment of most of her own life. It clung firmly over small taut muscles and over high round breasts which she'd always found a pleasing enough size of herself, and hips which were narrower than she might've liked. Little scars crisscrossed about her body but, thanks in part to agility and in part to the very attentive hands of past paladinic allies, there were none very large or ghastly. On a few occasions she'd even, out of a bit of vanity, had such allies administer some second-over healing.<br/><br/>Thigh muscles and hip bones rippled against the skin of her waist as she turned her tail closer toward Rose. "Why thank you!" she let the happiness and relief show through in her voice. "Yes it...<em>does</em>have its uses, I suppose." The tail curved up, brushing across the kneeling Rose's shoulderblade, sliding along like a snake seeking some small furry animal to devour. The end rubbed briefly where the shoulder met the side of the woman's neck, where one often began a massage of another. It curved up high enough to brush across Rose's cheek, the spaded head curling in and unfurling again in precise caresses.<br/><br/>"Speaking of such things, you look lovely enough yourself, Rose, all of a piece," Aria stepped into the tub, shuddering delightedly as the warm water glazed its way up to her lower thighs, and then the water level continued to climb slowly as more poured in. She'd scissored her legs over the edge of the tub in turn while her tail yet still caressed Rose, testing her own aim amidst the bodily movement.<br/><br/>"It was a delight to see you 'in action' today, and now not to see the form underneath, which powered it all...I daresay this is a decadent bath<em>well</em>earned for the both of us." Her tail curled up and away, in the shape of a beckoning hand.<br/>
