As she spoke, they passed an older man who gasped at her audacious manner of dress. "In Vodacce, I grew up in a<em>fattoria per bambini</em>, a baby farm.  I learned to climb before I could walk, and I learned to dance soon after.  But the dance I learned as a girl was not one for society such as this... it was a dance performed naked, or nearly so.  If you started off clothed, you were not by the end of it." Vi winked at the other woman, a wry smile on her face.  "This is why I am not embarrassed of my body, I have always been naked in places I should not be.  This is also why I can get in anywhere, no matter how impregnable the 'doctor' thinks that room" The word "doctor" was spat like a curse.<br/><br/>In just a few minutes they ducked into Vi's apartment, where quickly tossed her chest to find a thin cotton shirt.  She tossed it on, the hem of which just barely reached the underside of her bottom.  Vi looked up at Natia again with those bright blue shining eyes, as she strapped a leather belt over the shirt, which had all manner of pockets for mischief.  Soft boots went over the fraying stockings  and a leather thong tied her black hear back into a ponytail.  In less than a minute the two were off again.  Not back towards the "good" doctor's apartment but around the manor house to the window Vi had so recently dove out of.<br/><br/>"I cannot wait to hear some of your story too, my dear.  Perhaps we will have time as we wind our way through whatever Casi has gotten himself into. But like we told that<em>Stronzo</em>back there, we are a shade pressed for time."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">approach</div><div class="spoiler_body">Vi is spending a hero point to activate her "second story work" advantage to get herself and Natia into Anais's room</div></div>
