Smiling at Aya's obedience so far, Laelia coated her hands in the mild acid, before stepping up behind and placing them on the tengu's shoulders, letting the substance eat through the fabric of her shift.<br/><br/>"Don't worry... I'm a prisoner here just like anyone else. I simply learned that the quickest way to earn freedom is to obey them, to work with the system. Buying new clothes - if you care enough about them - costs few points, or you can save the points for freedom or purchases of more useful things. And the collars come off when doing jobs that require magic."<br/><br/>Her hands slid down the sides of the simple garment, and very quickly, the material dissolved, dropping to the ground and leaving Aya naked. Laelia picked the cloth up, wiping the excess acid from her hands - and in doing so eating through more of the remaining rags.<br/><br/>"Okay, now I'm going to search you. Just hold still, but let me know if it's uncomfortable. Okay?"
