Hallway.

It doesn't seem to take much to excite this young woman before her, but Julia doesn't really mind - she likes things simple most often. However, she cannot help herself as she reaches out and gently pets the top of Nilla's head in an affectionate manner, hoping this might not be too bold or anything like that. Still, she intends to show her appreciation of their encounter and how well she finds it to be. Of course, she is aware she cannot just toss out words here and there, left and right and expect them to make sense to the wolf girl. The more she thinks about it, the tougher it sounds, but she doesn't seem to mind too much. She especially liked the attention to her own belly, which earns the little one a soft purr from the manticore, tail wiggling in glee."Julia will show Nilla where the food and drink is. Walk with Julia?", she suggests, trying to make her sentences short and easy for now.

[Chiyako]

A hand was extended towards her. Red orbs followed it, curious enough that her head tilted slightly. When it settled down between her ears she smiled, eyes shutting while she leaned into the gesture. It was nice! Of course her tail was already wagging at maximum velocity, and so it didn't really appear to change much, but she was certainly enjoying this!

The purring noises did prompt her to look again upon the woman, especially around her belly. What was that? It didn't sound like a hungry sound. But perhaps she could find that out later. Julia's words caught her attention once more, drawing her gaze up to meet the woman's. Julia. Show. Nilaa. Where. Food. Drink. Walk. Julia. For once Nilaa actually managed to string together specifically what she was being asked!

With a nod of her head the wolf reached over, gently grasping at one of the taller woman's hands with both of her own. "Shoo Nilaa food drenk. Nilaa wook!! Juullia wook!"

[JennyDK]

Julia still remember the dismissiveness of the dryad girl in the library, but this is far more pleasant and lovely. She actually seemed happy about the presence of the manticore. All of these gestures and eagerness to hang out with her and learn, warms Julia's heart (and cheeks) already and she can feel how she gets caught up in the enthusiasm of the wolf girl. She can tell Nilla is not entirely sure how to interpret her own noise of content, but decides she will ask later if she wants to know. A gentle shiver runs through her once she feels the two hands grasp one of her own. She suddenly thinks of an idea while looking over the girl who looks light in weight."Julia maybe carry you to place for food? If Nilla is not too heavy, I can fly you", she says, wondering if that is possible.

[Chiyako]

There it was! More words! Julia. Carry! Like her paper! Place. Food! Nilaa! Not? Fly!? You? That was perhaps just a little confusing at the end, but Nilaa at least understood the gist of the first part!

With tail wagging and a short yip of excitement Nilaa released her grip upon Julia's hand, instead opening her arms in preparation for being carried! Of course now she was bouncing in place, quite excited to be wisked away. Who knows? Maybe she would get to fly! That would be exciting! But it didn't seem like she might. In any case, at the moment she wasn't too much heavier than someone might expect of her. She hadn't had any sort of grand meals, and she was already pretty hungry.

Naturally, Julia doesn't expect the wolf girl to get everything she is saying, so she tries to use her body as aid in getting her point across. Seeing Nilla opening her arms up, she at least thinks that the overall concept was clear to her and she moves closer towards her, still smiling widely in return and being overall enthustiastic about the whole thing, which is also quite the case in all honesty. Julia has not been this excited in a long time. Of course, party craze is still excitement, but this is on a whole other level and different kind indeed. She feels the fluffy and warm little body against her own soon as she tries to lift Nilla to determine if her weight is too much. That does mean her bare breasts are smoshed against the little one's face basically, while her arms are wrapped around her.

[Chiyako]

With relative ease Nilaa was lifted from the ground, just as she'd hoped might happen! She didn't mind the paws gripping against her nude form, after all that was what she had been expecting in the first place. However she hadn't been expecting herself to be squished against the woman's chest! For a brief moment she went still, a little surprised by the sudden soft warmth caressing her cheeks. She had wanted to experience this, yes. But she might fall asleep being this comfortable!

Oh well. That just meant she'd reach the food place more quickly!

And so with her troubles relieved the little wolf's tail returned to its happy wagging state! Fur covered arms hooked up over the woman's shoulders and legs wrapped around her new friend's waist as she held on. She was careful with her claws, of course, as she didn't want to break this new person who had been so kind to her thus far. Once the surprise had fully worn off Nilaa closed her eyes and nuzzled her face right between the woman's large breasts, enjoying the caressing squish of it all. It was certainly a pleasant feeling! Shame wasn't really something that she experienced, at least not yet. Why not enjoy the things one liked?

[JennyDK]

While nudity never bothers Julia, the more intimate situation is the thing that makes her nervous and unsure. She does hide her state of mind rather well, at least in her face, but her tail is blantantly obvious as it shows high excitement in its movements. However, she pushes herself enough to be focused on the task at hand, so when Nilla wraps her lithe body around and against her, she is able to take off in flight. While not as fast and agile as normal, she is still able to move relatively well, all things considered. Her heart is still beating a bit faster as she is this close to such a cute girl like the wolf woman. She cannot help herself from having a weird, but happy expression on her face."Just hold on. I will make sure you get there safely. I could surely use a steak and probably a beer or two, myself!", she says, trying to spark conversation, despite Nilla's less than stellar vocabulary and mastering of the spoken word.

[Chiyako]

A content sigh left the little wolf, eyes closing while she pressed and rubbed her face between the fleshy pillows. If only she had her new friend as a roommate! She wouldn't even need regular pillows! But she would take this blissful moment for as long as she could have it. After all who knew when she'd have to return to being on her own!

Hold. Get there. Steak! Beer. Well Nilaa was already doing her best on most of that! The promise of steak did cause her to lick her lips which, in turn, might have also lashed the poor woman's breasts with her tongue. But Nilaa was far too excited by the prospect of meaty goodness to notice! She had heard of the other one too. Beer. But it wasn't something she'd eaten before. Was it like bear? Were they going to eat a bear?!

As the chilled air brushed across her skin Nilaa was reminded of something: her friend had wings! She shifted around in place, twisting just a bit in order to rest her cheek against Julia's bosom. At the sight of the ground beneath them her eyes widened with glee! She was flying! In her excitement she let loose a howl of glee!

[JennyDK]

Julia's day certainly has turned much more interesting, fun and lovely and she feels very giddy all over. She hopes that her words at least makes a bit of sense to Nilla. If they don't right now, it's okay as she intends to teach her new friend here the best she can. If it were not for this encounter, she would probably be napping in a tree or something. Her mind begins to wander a bit, new and delightlful images forming in her mind. Thankfully, it doesn't distract her too much and her flight is still going smoothly while they leave for the giant mall in town. The licking of her bosom brings her a bit more back to reality and she lets out a soft groan of pleasure, her nipples growing slightly harder. Julia doesn't know what cause Nilla to do this, but she dares not try and see if it was some sort of sexual gratification done towards her. The sequential howl makes her laugh a bit in amusement and satisfaction.

[Chiyako]

Of course Nilaa probably would have been stuck wandering for hours in search of her own room had she not been found by her new friend. Hours of frustration probably would have lead to a violent outburst! Well, against a door anyhow. Or perhaps a wall. A room would have been claimed and things might have even been eaten! But then that was thankfully avoided.

Nilaa's excitement over the fact that she was currently flying was briefly interrupted as a change occurred in the squishy pillows. Suddenly a spot got harder! Perkier! Had it always been like that? Perhaps. It was a little strange, and she did rub her cheek against one of them out of curiosity. But she was quickly distracted once more by the ground moving beneath them. It was a good thing too as flying while exploring these sorts of things might have ended in a crash landing! Thankfully she was quite content with her cuddling and watching the people down below.

((I'm ready to move over to the next thread whenever you are if you'd like to bring us there! I think that's how it works here, yeah?))

[Chiyako]

====================================================================================================
====================================================================================================

What a wonderful start Nilaa had in this school! First she met a bunch of people who told her a bunch of rules. Then she met another naked girl with a very squishy chest! She had to be the best part about this place so far. Not only had Julia fed her but then they'd gone to her place and enjoyed a very lovely evening of, well, whatever it was that they were doing! All she knew was that it had been wonderful. To top it all off she even got to sleep with her new friend! It was always better to snuggle up with somebody else.

Unfortunately Nilaa had yet to actually find her room. She certainly did not mind the distraction! But it would probably be good to find the place she had to sleep at, right? It wasn't as though she could just spend nights sleeping in different people's rooms! Actually that didn't sound like a terrible idea either. It would make for a good excuse. In fact it actually sounded like a very good way to make new friends! Nilaa did love having friends!

Regardless, Nilaa had been searching for another person within the hallways when she'd detected a strange smell in the air. It was very fresh, but it was also not natural. Curiosity had strung along the little wolf until finally she'd found her way to a door. Thankfully she knew now how to operate handles. Very carefully her claws gripped against the metal rod, pushing down until the door clicked open! As she entered the room both her paws immediately rushed up to cover her nose. The strange fresh smell was quite overpowering here! However she also spotted another person within the room, prompting her tail to immediately start wagging!

@Godot

[Godot]

The person she spotted also had a tail. A very large, green scaled tail, waving around idly. This person was taller than her and looked rather feminine from both front and back. They were wearing ragged but "cool looking" clothing, with a buttoned up magenta shirt and slightly loose, dark blue jeans with white sneakers. He had no particular expression on his face, as it seemed like he was waiting for someone, or rather something. He also had green, perky ears that moved every now and then, but they didn't appear to be as sharp hearing-wise, because they didn't even notice someone had entered until just a moment later.

They turned their body slightly to the side, noticing the small wolf girl. They raised a brow and titled their head slightly, their arms crossed. "Hey, little girl. Ya' lost?" He speaks at once. It appears that this person is actually a boy, despite the looks of a female. His voice was also feminine, but had a very deep and raspy tone to it. He idly tapped a foot against the ground, as he waited for the laundry to be done.

@Chiyako

[Chiyako]

He was an interesting person for sure. Like both her and Julia he had a tail! Of course his was also different from either of their tails. In fact it was also larger than her own! Of course he himself was larger than she was so perhaps that went into it. However unlike her and Julia he wore clothes! Perhaps that wasn't very abnormal. In fact it wasn't. But how did one wear clothes with a tail? Would that not be uncomfortable?

With curiosity tugging at her still Nilaa made her way over, hands still clasped over her face. This room was filled with the strong fresh smell. She didn't like it. It was overpowering. But this new person interested her enough. They did sound like a boy, but they also looked kind of like a girl. Of course maybe they actually were a girl. Nilaa was a girl and her chest was also flat! Thinking about that did make her miss Julia a little more though.

Little girl. Ya? Lost. Ya sounded weird but it also sounded familiar enough that, after a few moments of mulling it over, she understood it. He was asking if she was lost. She was, in fact, very lost! And so with her face still covered she quickly and repeatedly nodded her head.

As the little naked wolf reached the new person she reached out with one of her hands, gently prodding at the man's baggy pants. At least they seemed more comfortable than other things people wore. But her curiosity was not yet sated. Without waiting she tried to squeeze her way between the man's legs, hoping to look to see just how he wore pants with a tail!

[Godot]

The dragon boy was not expecting an introduction like that from the naked wolf girl. But, lucky for her, his legs were already slightly apart so it made it easier for her to squeeze. Before all that, though, he noticed as she nodded and smiled lightly. "Oh. Maybe I could--..." And that is his words are cut off due to the wolf being in his personal space. He didn't seem embarrassed or anything, he was more confused. His brows raised even more as he looked down, uncrossing his arms and raising his elbows, also slightly widening his legs.

Since she took a closer look at the back of his baggy pants, she is owned an explanation: There is nothing special about it. Where his tail is, there is a large hole there, perfect down to the inch, just right for his tail to plop out of it. The top of the back of the trousers is buttoned in, which looks kind of odd, but it helps to keep the pants up.

The dragon boy blinked a few times, even slightly blushing this time and kept looking down at her. "You are a strange one..." He mentions, secretly hoping that he didn't offend her with his comment. He remains silent for now, eyeing her to see what she does.

[Chiyako]

Thankfully it was not too difficult squeezing between the boy's legs. In fact it felt as though he even gave her a little more space for it! That was kind of him! Maybe he was as nice as Julia? Wouldn't that be lucky?!

As it turned out his pants did have a hole in the back! There was also a button. She did wonder if plucking that out might drop the whole thing. It looked like it might! But then that wouldn't be very nice, or so she was told. Don't ruin other people's things. Don't eat other people's things. Don't eat other people. A lot of rules, but she was willing to follow them because people gave her food.

Either way she was quite content with her little exploration. Her tail was wagging so hard that it even caused her hips and rump to wiggle along with it! Speaking of tails, she did wonder what his was like, and so she moved her free hand up, resting her palm against the base of the scaley green length. It felt pretty neat! Slowly her hand moved, gliding back and forth, exploring from base all the way up to as close as the tip as she could reach!

After a few moments she remembered that the tail was actually connected to a person, and so with a nod to herself she wiggled herself back and out from between the poor boy's legs, standing up straight once more! "Nilaa is Nilaa" she explained, the hand settled upon her mouth and nose slightly muffling her speech. Now she met the man's gaze with her own, although the difference in height did make it a little annoying, especially since she was standing so close! Perhaps uncomfortably so! But then boundaries clearly weren't something familiar to her.

[Godot]

He shivered a little bit as she kept touching things that belong to him and are apart of his body, but he let it slide. He surely doesn't seem like a bad person at all, so maybe indeed he can be called a nice person. He also did notice that her tail was wiggling a lot, probably from happiness or curiosity, he thought. He simply hoped that it won't hurt her tail or anything if she wiggles it way too much and way too fast. He lets out a chuckle as he wipes off a little bit of sweat off of his forehead, sighing. While exhaling during the sigh, a bit of smoke comes out of his mouth. He seems calmer now. He puts his hands on his hips and listens to whatever she has to say. "Nilaa... Interesting name. My name is Keya." He puts his green scaled palm up to his own chest, indicating that he is talking about himself.

Keya also noticed that she doesn't like the strong smell in the laundry room, which wasn't even that strong, but that may be only strong to Nilaa. He looks over at her, then at the door, then back and forth once more before taking a few steps towards the door and reaching out to open it up. The strong smell starts moving out and the air freshens up quickly and nicely. He leans down a bit to place something heavy in front of the door to keep it open, since the laundry room's door was weird and kept closing on its own. He turns back at her. "This better? I don't want anyone suffocating." He lets out a great Keya-style chuckle, which is basically a normal chuckle, with Keya's deep feminine tone. A strange one, for sure.

"So... What brings you here? Curiosity?" He asks, chuckling once more at his own dumb joke.

[Chiyako]

His name was Keya. "Kaayaa. Kiiiya. Keeya? Keya? Keya!" She was getting better at this speaking thing! Thankfully the rapidly wagging tail didn't appear to be bothering her, although the lengthy furry appendage certainly did blow away a little dust behind her. It was probably good that nobody was standing behind the little wolf. That could have been dangerous!

In any case she was bouncing on her toes in excitement, having managed to sound out the man's name! That was an important part of becoming friends with someone. She also ended up copying him, settling her free hand against her own chest! It was a little late but who could blame her? She had been focused on something more important.

When Keya moved past her Nilaa turned to follow him with her gaze, tail relaxing just a little bit. Maybe he was leaving? Perhaps leading her somewhere? She wouldn't hesitate to follow him now that her curiosity had become focused upon him. In fact he even opened the door! Nilaa took a step closer until he leaned down and moved something around. Her head tilted slightly in confusion while she watched.

This better? Don't want anyone. Okay she didn't quite understand what he was saying there. Another big word. But then he started to laugh and that, in turn, caused her to smile! Not that it could be seen. Well, not initially anyhow. She did notice the air lightening up a bit. After a solid minute of waiting she removed her hand, breathing a sigh of relief. It was at least tolerable now!

What brought her here? Well she did of course! And while she herself was very curious the word was not something well placed within her mind just yet. "Nilaa bring Nilaa" she responded with a nod. "What Keya do?"

[Godot]

Keya couldn't help but smile at her attempts in speaking and getting his name right, following him around and doing all these cute, innocent actions. It almost made him want to protect her of everything, although he has this intuition that she may be able to protect herself. After finally settling down and the air becoming cleaner, he looks at her as she continues speaking. While she may not be speaking too clearly and properly, it was still understandable, thankfully. "Ahhaa, I understand." He nods once, keeping that smile on his face as he gets to responding to her adorably asked question. "I was just waiting for the laundry machine to finish. I did a favor to a friend of mine." He said, his long, blonde hair in the way of his face, a little bit. He said a large sentence and used quite big words, so maybe this isn't something that Nilaa will understand.

Behind Nilaa, there were large laundry machines on top of each other. All of them had closed doors and only one seemed to be turned on and moving. In fact, the large white blanket inside the machine was spinning, along with bubbly water in it. For a curious girl like her, this may be an interesting machinery. Regardless of that, Keya kept looking down at her to see whatever else she was up to, thinking of more things to ask her. "Are you...a student here?" He decides to ask.

[Chiyako]

Some of that she managed to get. He was waiting for something. She didn't understand what. He also did something to a friend. What could he have done? Of course he did say what, she just didn't understand the word. She had noticed the machine going nearby, and for a moment it did draw her attention. Had he put his friend in there?!

With eyes widening she walked over to the machine, pressing her face against the glass. Something was spinning around in it! There was also lots of water! It smelled like soap too. She remembered getting washed when she first came here. That had been an experience! Was this something people used to wash themselves? Was that what he was doing?!

"Keya friend?" she mumbled to herself, tail slowing its wagging behind her. Would she be washed like this too?! It actually seemed kind of exciting! She was also interested in meeting Keya's friend! So she straightened herself up and grabbed onto what she thought was the handle, tugging once. It didn't budge. She tugged it again and heard something creak. Immediately she removed her hand from it. Breaking things was bad. Maybe it wasn't broken? It was still spinning Keya's friend. She could just wait until they finished their wash.

"Student?"

Oh, right! She had been talking to him before she got distracted! Turning her attention back towards the boy she nodded a couple of times, walking over to stand close to him again, sniffing in his direction. It was important to memorize people's scents. That was how she could find them in the future! "Nilaa student! Keya student? Keya friend student?"

[Godot]

Keya didn't quite understand what she meant by her question, so he just slightly tilted his head at that. He looked at her as she failed to open the door of the working washing machine, still smiling at her adorable actions. When she asked "Student?", he just nodded once, then looked down at her as she got close once again. He decided  to try speaking her tone, hoping that she would understand it better. Although, he felt a bit embarrassed about it, for some reason, making him blush a little.

"Yes, Keya student. Keya friend student, too! Keya can be Nilaa's friend, if Nilaa wants to." He chuckles at his own attempt, raising his hand and gently reaching out to Nilaa's head with his palm. He had claws on his green scaled hands, but they weren't pointy and they wouldn't even hurt at all. If she let him do that, he would place his palm on the top of her head, giving her a little pat.

[Chiyako]

Suddenly he was talking like she did! Or was she talking? It was difficult to know for certain with the voice. He looked like a boy, but also like a girl? She was certainly confused! But then she remembered his words.

As what he had said finally settled within her mind Nilaa's head started to repeatedly and excitedly nod in response! Another friend! Making friends was easier than she thought it'd be! "Nilaa like! Keya friend!" exclaimed the wolf, only to then find the man's hand atop her head! The nodding halted, however her tail continued to wag. She remembered what this was for!

In response to the little pat atop the head Nilaa leaned in, wrapping her arms around the man's body! Of course she had to be careful with her grip. Nilaa wouldn't want to accidentally break him, although his scaley parts hinted at a hidden strength. However she had to also be careful about her claws as they were very, very sharp.

She pressed her face against him, nuzzling softly. It was a little uncomfortable with clothes on, but at least she got a better smell from him! Besides, it was still nice to share warmth, even like this. Affection was also important for friendship! Probably!

"What friends do naaawoo?"

[Godot]

It was most likely for the better he had clothes on. He certainly isn't in the mood for something interesting to happen in a laundry room, especially after that scene with one special slimy friend of his. Speaking of which, he still had that moment lingering in his mind, being unable to forget any moment that he had spent with his slimy friend. He smiles more upon hearing her exclaim that they are now friends, thinking that this entire situation that he didn't expect to be in today is quite wholesome, and that he made a cute friend whom he should teach things to in the future. Wearing clothes should be one of them, he thinks, as walking around naked is quite an inhuman thing to do. Literally!

As she comes up closer and hugs him, he lets out a chuckle and returns the slight hug, no longer patting her on the head. "Wellll... Keya currently busy. Keya needs to take back blanket to friend. After that, Keya need to go sleep." He says, frowning once, as he isn't able to do much with the little wolf. At least, not today.

The washing machine nears its end and the rolling slows down overtime.

[Chiyako]

Keya busy? Keya needed to take back a blanket to a friend. He also needed to sleep. She did enjoy sleep! But then she had just woken up not too long ago as well. Her ears perked up as well as the machine made different noises. It was slowing down. Maybe his friend was going to finish their wash soon?

"Nilaa no beesy. Nilaa help?"

How would she even be able to help? She didn't really know! But she had nothing else to do at the moment. Except perhaps eat things. But she could eat things whenever she wanted. Friends were people she needed to interact with when she could! Besides, maybe she could learn new things while helping with things?

But then what would she do when he went to sleep? She could always wander the halls again and hope she got lucky. Or she could sleep again, but that would certainly make her hungry again. Speaking of hungry, she was starting to feel the pang of it within her belly.

[Godot]

"Keya no need help. Keya do it alone. Task very easy." He says, almost letting out yet another chuckle. Anything this little wolf does always puts a smile on Keya's face. She's probably the cutest monster he has seen yet in his second year. There are, of course, people who he finds cuter, but those people are cute in a different sense... For example, his slimy friend!

A faint beep is heard throughout the laundry room, coming from exactly the machine that Keya was using to wash his slimy friend's blanket. He looked over and took his attention off of the little wolf girl, walking up to it and pushing a red button. That made the door spring open. The water inside was already gone, but it gave off a strong, sweet scent that quickly floated away. He leaned in to grab out what seemed to be a nice, white blanket. It was no friend of Keya's. It was something belonging to a friend of Keya's! He holds up the blanket without an issue and turns around to look at the wolf girl, deciding to ask a question. "Is Nilaa alone? Does Nilaa have a room?" Seeming just a bit concerned about her.

[Chiyako]

He didn't need help. That was fine! It must have been pretty easy then. Still, as far as she understood it was at least good to offer. That was important for being friends with others. In fact the boy appeared to be happy enough at her offer that he even laughed! Well, okay, he could be laughing at something else too. Who could say for sure? Certainly not her!

The loud beep cut through the air, prompting both of her ears to twitch to attention! Her head turned to face the source of it. The machine was finished washing his friend! As the boy ventured over so too did the curious wolf, keeping behind him, peeking out only once he'd stopped. Some button popped open the front of the machine. That was why she couldn't open it!

What emerged was in fact a large white blanket! People bathed with blankets?! She waited a few moments as well for the boy's friend to appear, but they didn't. So she slid past him to poke her head into the machine. There was nobody inside? What trickery was this?! At least it smelled pleasant enough, although the sudden powerful burst of it did make her feel a hint dizzy.

Was she alone? Did she have a room? Those were some good questions! "Nilaa awooon. Nilaa have room. Nilaa no fiyeend room" replied the wolf, voice a bit muffled by the washer machine. She was curious now. Could she fit inside? So to sate that curiosity she pulled herself into it, curling up with her knees close to her chest. Her tail, left to hang out from the machine, wagged contently at the discovery that she could indeed fit inside! Maybe she could try washing herself in here!? That could be fun!
