Concetta truly seemed worried about something... Something Linnea couldn't quite place but then, how could she? SHe wasn't a mind reader or anything and the other girl wasn't sharing. She kept on staring into the foxy girl's beautiful eyes as if trying to gleam what was going through her head as they ate. She then suggested a bath might heal what ailed her or at least help a little bit. It wasn't a bad idea, so Lin just nodded in agreement, swalling the food in her mouth:

"Sounds like a pleasant idea. Sure, why not?", she shrugged and smiled happily, soaking in the spa sounded pretty relaxing so no doubt it would be fun.

But what to do with all the food in her plate? She looked at her full plate reluctantly, knowing that animals had died to put that meal in front of her, she didn't want those animals to have died for no good reason. Concetta asked the waiter for boxes, a pretty good idea one might say... They packed their food into those boxes with the dark haired girl getting ready first:

"Let's go!", answered a friendly LInnea, dashing over to Concetta's side and letting her choose the right Spa. If she didn't know any, she would instead lead her to those baths Naki had shown her the other day, "Where would you like to go? If you don't know any Spa, i know a good place for a hot bath."

She completely ignored the men staring at them, being more than used to it, for better or worse...

Her eyes cornered to wait for Linnea as she knew of a place because of her navigation skills. She would softly smile and her fox tail swayed, fox ears would stay up straight as she listened around, carrying her food in her hands that were in boxes. She let her hair sway behind her as she walked forward towards the trees as she waited for her heart to know the spot to turn towards. She knew that some people knew this area, but not exactly all who. After a few moments she would move away some reef-like leafs and walk through it as she looked around. The waterfall, sparkling waters and the spot where the moon sparkles upon it as around the waters there were butterflies and glowing flying bugs. She stood there and waited as she then turned. ''Uh, not sure where you wanna get changed...'' she spoke and felt unsure on how she was on that.

At least she seemed slightly happy, if her swaying tail was an indicator of any kind. Both girls now carried small doggy boxes with the still warm leftovers from their unfinished lunch. Linnea pulled up her hood and shyly tugged on it, her usual reflexive gesture when being stared at, and that was the most reaction they'd get from her. Looking at Concetta, she noticed how the girl was obviously just following her instinct. The archer just followed her new friend, enjoyed this odd sense of nostalgia she got just from being around someone who shared a similar past to hers. But soon enough Lin's eyes widened as Concetta revealed a hidden place, not unlike how Naki had done a few days ago:

"I had no idea that was here... Guess there's still a lot worth exploring on this island.", she commented, admiring the sheer beauty of the sparkling waterfall with a smile on her face. The girl turned around asking where she wanted to get changed, but Lin didn't really care. As Concetta asked her question, she was already pulling out her dress, revealing a bikini styled underwear beneath, "I don't see a problem with getting changed here."

It was fortunate she decided to wear a bra this time, apparently Concetta was shy about nakedness and she probably wouldn't be too confortable if Lin walked around topless. The halter top held her breasts firmly in place and gaver her a measure of modesty so the dark haired girl wouldn't feel uneasy; LIn had slowly learned that outside of Amazon Lily, most women were pretty shy about their bodies...

Spoiler:

She got dressed quickly enough, after all there wasn't really much else needed other than simply taking off her ranger dress and leaving on onlt her underwear. She curiously glanced towards Concetta, catching her doing the exact same thing and blushing softly. Non Amazon girls didn't like it when others looked at them naked did they? It was indifferent for the women of Amazon Lily, but she was now living in a different culture and had to adapt to it. She wore a black bikini that matched her hair and eye color perfectly, further highlighting her admirable beauty...

Her invitation snapped her out of her bashful yet silent pondering, Concetta had beaten her to it and stepped into the hot springs, relaxing into the soothing waters and letting herself sink into them with a soft purr. Lin naturally felt curious enough to step in right after that, dipping her foot first to test the temperature. It was hot, but pleasantly so, her foot redenning after being dipped halfway in. The soft, cozy heat felt almost like it was inviting her inside, to the point she just couldn't help lowering herself further in, past her thighs, waist and breasts, untill she finally sat down next to Concetta with the water up to her upper chest:

"You're right...", she whispered softly, smiling and closing her eyes, the turning her head up, "The water feels lovely..."

She would lean back as she would let her back slide against the rocks and the earthly grounds. Her eyes would half way be open as she looked a little bit up at the sky. Her mind started to drift off as she would then 'purr' her way through some daydream. She was a little girl wearing a white dress running through some flower fields letting her long brown hair flail behind her. Looking back she was looking back at another girl with white silver hair although eveything else about the girl was all shadow. She wasn't sure on one thing, but she did know another which was this felt rather familiar to a time within her life. As Concetta was about to see a little bit more she then opened her eyes in which she then looked to see Linnea sitting there relaxing within the spa as well. 'Hmmnph...' she thought as she sighed. She then made a small smile as she tried to act as if everything is normal, hoping to daydream off again and see more like as if she was watching a movie of someones story.

The two girls relaxed in the springs, lulled by the pleasant heat and steam caressing their skin to the melodic sound of flowing and splashing water. Linnea hummed and Concetta purred with delight every now and then, but it should be obvious to the two girls that both of them truly enjoyed this little break. Once more the foxy girl seemed lost in thought, and Lin took a moment to gaze her way and give her a clearer look than she had so far. More than her striking beauty, without a doubt she felt really familiar, in a way she could barely place. Giving a sweet, almost nostalgic smile, she leaned her head back and looked up into the sky, closing her eyes and draping her arms out to either side, accidentally leaving one hand over the girl's hair:

"What's your fondest memory with your best friend?", inquired a smiling Linnea, already thinking about hers. She was in a pretty nostalgic mood and the foxy girl also had pleasant memories of her past, so this might be a good mood to relive them, "I remember running with her through a flower field deep in the jungle of Amazon Lily. It was almost as if that was our secret place..."

She still kept her eyes closed, keeping these memories vivid in her mind...

The girl mostly ignored her question, but by then Linnea wasn't even there anymore. Her own childhood memories together with this pleasant, lulling envorioment had an odd effect on her: She just felt like drifting off to sleep and not really thinking about anything else.

----------flashback----------

Linnea tugged on her hood as she walked around through the main streets... She dislike being seen, even if her hood was even more recognizable than anything, she still desperately tried to do so. Being at the bottom of the food chain for as long as she could remember, her meekness compared to the strength of the other kids her age made her a favorite target for bullying and teasing and thus she liked to remain hidden as often as possible... But today was different; a friendly weapons crafter had promised to give her a bow, congratulations for passing her first warrior's test. Despite being about give years old, she was still trained as a warrior, even if only discovered her true talent little more than a few weeks ago.

Skipping forward she would smile, smell the fresh air as she would continue on her way to the town/village up front. Her white beautiful silk hair would flow behind her like some clouds as her eyes shined like ferocious topaz jewels lit up by shining lights. She stepped upon the grass like some girly child soilder as she stepped heavily into the earthy ground. She made a small smile that was sweet but hid a sinister being. Concetta looked forward as she saw a town not so far away as she would then close her eyes for a split second with the thought that 'it couldn't hurt.


Bump

She felt being hit a little back as she fell back onto her butt. Her eyes halfway opened and looked up to see a girl with silver-white hair like her own but more silver-colored. She had ice blue eyes and the skin was almost as pale as her own. She wasn't sure on what to say as this was the first time she ever saw a human child. After blinking a couple times she bit her lower lip and looked away. ''U hhhmm...hi.'' she simply spoke ad then blushed, hiding her face with her white fox tail as it unraveled from around her waist, hiding her body like petals hide the middle of a rose.

As her weapon was handed to her, a smiling yellow snake bound together by a string, Linnea couldn't help but smile. For Kuja warriors, snakes were not only their weapons, but their pets, their partners too. The very name Kuja means "nine snakes", something every amazon is frequently reminded of... She looked at her new partner with glimmering amazement, petting its head softly:

"Hmmm, we'll have to think of a name for you!", spoke the excited Linnea with a friendly, almost playful smile. The woman looked glad to see the shy little girl so happy, but then something else happened. Feeling something knock into her, Lin lost her footing for a moment and leaned on her new snake friend to keep herself from falling, only to turn and see a silver haired girl. She would meet her eyes for a split second before blushing and looking away, shyly tugging on her hood, "H-Hello..."

Lin stretched out her hand to help the other girl stand up, curiously eyeing her fluffy tail with wide eyed amazement. Her small snake friend casually wrapped itself around the archer's waist, also intently eyeing the other girl:

"Wow... I've never seen a girl with a tail before. It's really pretty...", she admired, almost reaching out to touch it but stopping herself when she realized the other girl might get angry.

Her white fluffy tail, long enough to cover her full waist and fluffy enough to hide her short frail body. Her hair, white tail and white hairs made it look like now she was just a big puff ball of white. Suddenly she heard a voice speak as it was a childs voice, a female out of all things. Her eyes halfway opened as she unraveled her tail so she could peak in front of her to see her again. So she was perhaps real unlike some other things she has seen...and this human was talking to her? She felt confused as perhaps this one was blind. Most humans ran away, hunted her and so forth as well as her family. ''U-uhm hi.'' she spoke instantly and quietly. The girl in front of her seemed to be interested in her tail. ''U-uh...you can t-touch it.'' she spoke shyly as she would then stand up herself and let her tail wrap around her own waist again, pointing at it and then looked at the girl. ''A-are you human?'' she wondered curiously as her eyes shined a little with curiousity.

The cute girl with the fluffy tail seemed almost as she as Lin herself letting her feel a measure of companionship towards her. She seemed really surprised to find someone talking to her, and peeked out of her tail, leading the archer to flash a calm, gentle smile. The lonely girl wasn't the kind of person who could shun someone just for being a little different, so she treated her with the same friendliness as everyone else:

"Are you sure its alright?", asked a still faintly doubtful Linnea as she softly reached out and pet the girl's tail with a gentle caress, "It feels so soft!"

She looked at the girl with a slight glimmer in her eyes, obviously having a hard time moving her hand away from her fluffy tail; it felt like the soft fur she'd expect from a young fox cub. She nodded once the girl asked if she was human:

"I am; from the Kuja Tribe. My name is Linnea!", they were a little different from most humans since the Amazon women could only give birth to women, and thus needed to marry men from the ourside to repriouce. Still, her eyebrows raised curiously as she deduced from this question and the girl's tail that she was something different, "What about you...?"

She watched the girl as she touched her tail with her eyes halfway open. Her teeth bit the bottom of her own lip as here face turned into a rather red tone. She felt some weird sensation as the girl was feeling up her tail, petting it.  The girl spoke then, saying her name 'Linnea'.

''Linnea....'' she spoke softly to herself...

'Linnea' she then consciously spoke to herself within her thoughts...

She then looked away and then looked at Linnea, ''My name's Concetta...'' she quietly and softly spoke as she would face away with a light blush. ''I...I don't think any human would have animalistic features...'' she answered the girls next question as she would then slowly get up straightly and ravel her own tail around her own waist and softly petted it.
