Sacred Arch Hotpsrings, 20th of Bell, 10th of Summer 507 A.V
In the grace of Leth's light shining down upon the Fortress City and its surroundings, specifically in a quaint warm popular location known as the "Sacred Arch Hotsprings", a girl with pale skin could be seen relaxing in the warm mater. Her long ebony hair floated on the water, splayed out around her as she dipped herself up to her neck. "Aaaah... ssso warm~" This was bliss, a heaven to a cold-blooded person like her.
Aka was glad that Galbern, her Nuit mentor and master, decided to stay in the Fortress City until next Spring. She very much preferred the cramped fortress compared to the unforgiving wilderness, at least here, she could pamper herself in the various services the Citadel had to offer. The food at the White Swan Inn and the massage at the Soothing Waters were all lovely to her. "Princess" Aka's scales needed their beauty management everyday. For now, she would enjoy herself at the hotpsring she heard from people.
Syliras was a very interesting city, it was ruled by a group of tinman known as the Syliran Knights, they dutifully kept watch of the Fortress along with the area around it. The city also accepted all kind of races, though Aka found that some observant person looked at her funny when they noticed her slitted scarlet eyes; not many, if any, humans had those kind of eyes. Still, most of them were polite enough not to point that out to her.
Other things she noticed was the city filled to the brim with humans. Humans, humans, and more humans with the other occasional races mixed in. So far, she had never met a single Dhani or maybe it was just because them having a human form. Aka knew that some of Dhanis didn't have their trademark reptilian eyes when in human form, the Viper had them though, so did her mother, she supposed it was variations in their race just like humans could have a myriad of skin and eye color.
Sighing in content, Aka leaned back, playing with the water for a while. She observed her own body through the clear water. To her dismay, her chest didn't have any visible growth, it was still the same washboard buds she had since she first gained her human form. "......" She went silent, Dhanis lived to hundreds of years, surely she would grow later... right? Aka's mind wander. What if she was cursed? To forever live in a child-like body. She was already short even by Viper standards. She didn't need anymore traits that defined her as a child rather than a woman. As far as she knew, no Dhani in human form would be considered a child as only adults could possess them.
Her self-contemplating was interrupted when she heard footsteps coming from the edge of the hotpsring. There were few people here at night and Aka preferred it that way, but if this other person wanted to say, there was no way she could hold them back, this hotspring was public property after all.
