Thread: It's only natural [sailingsam and Sigr]

Cat watched Leafs face as she gave her explanation of where her drawing was from. Leaf seemed interested enough, and if she ever came and visited Cats house with her, shed be sure to have to show the younger curious girl the path behind her house. Not even her parents new about her solace in the woods. They assumed she was out riding her bike or up in her room doing work, so it was a very sacred spot for her go and rest or just get away from it all. As she explained it to Leaf, she could tell the younger girl was nervous about whatever she had to tell the redheaded as she pursed her lips silently as she hushed. She knew she should stop speaking and blabbering for once and actually listen to others and what they had to say as she slowly leaned back forward, resting her own arms on her backpack much like Leaf was doing She smiled softly at Leafs surprise that she had a car as she slowly nodded. She was surprised to hear the dark haired girl was younger than she was. She had figured that Leaf was older, but not by much. She certainly carried a perfect mix of youthfulness about her that mixed with maturity and curiously that made it so she couldnt exactly pin where she was as she nodded. Have no fear, old rusty will be our trusty steed to the mall. She proclaimed with a whisper as her face flushed in immediate embarrassment at the comment, regretting the corny attempt at humor on her part as she looked forward at Leaf. Shed have to remember November so that she could get her new friend a proper birthday present. Shed have to learn what the younger girl liked and didnt like so she could get the right present. Maybe shed draw the younger girl a picture. She blushed as she realized her train of thought was escaping her again as she turned her head back to face Leaf, her own hazel eyes staring into the dark green of the dark haired girl as she bit her lip to stop herself and refocus on Leaf and what the younger girl seemed to be increasingly nervous about. Cat nodded again as Leaf repeated the judgment and secret free talk that she had just mentioned as she leaned in closer. Itd have been better off if they were laying on the table with how far they were leaning over it as she blushed a bit. She could see every detail of Leafs smooth, tanned face. Her pursed lips, her tiny nose and the dark green eyes that always seem to be dancing back and forth or drawing her own gaze in as she nodded. She didnt want to speak as Leaf began, but shed nod. She had figured Leafs parents were a bit leaning that way the second Leaf had mentioned she was a vegan. Cat realized it was a stereotypical thought, but knew she was somewhat right on the issue itself as she continued to nod. Her brow rose at the comment of her liking to be free. Was she about to say what Cat thought she was? She flushed a bit and bit down on her lip. If Leaf was going to tell her, would Cat have to tell her she saw her new friend naked on the beach already before? She couldnt possibly do it just yet. No, she had to hope it wasnt what she thought Leaf was about to tell her as she recomposed her inner thoughts. Focus yourself!Let her speak! she reminded herself silently as Leaf continued. Cats eyes widened a bit as Leaf just blurted it out as she had to stifle what she thought would be the mix between a gasp and a giggle at the suddenness of the secret that Leaf had just told her new friend. It was evident that Leaf trusted her enough to say that, and it meant a lot. She composed herself, a small smile creeping onto her face. She couldnt help that, it was just so funny how Leaf just let it all out like that, but there was more? She looked curiously as she looked up and stared up at Leaf, staring as her eyes widened a bit at the second revelation that the younger girl didnt shave. She thought she had seen something back at the beach that day, but hadnt been sure if she had seen it or not. She watched as Leaf pulled up her blouse and revealed that small wiry black hairs underneath her arm as she blushed a bit. She looked up at them before Leaf rolled back down her blouse. Now she realized why Leaf seemed so uncomfortable in the clothing she was wearing all day and kept itching and grabbing at it. What did she mean by other places? She thought for a moment before looking down as her eyes widened a bit as she let out and audible. Ohhhhhhhhh. She said as she looked up and blushed before letting out a soft giggle a bit. Immediately embarrassment that she had giggled as she looked back up and sat up a bit, staring at Leaf silently for a moment as she processed the sudden revelation, staring silently at Leaf for a moment. She didnt want to stay quiet for too long and let Leaf think that she had stunned her or anything as she thought for a moment before speaking again. So she paused softly, not wanting to come off rude. What youre telling me is that youre youre a naturalist is that the right word for it? She asked slowly as she stared up at Leaf, hoping that she hadnt said anything offensive about it. And by being that you dont shave. She said as she took a deep breath. She imagined shed be taking it a lot worse if she hadnt seen Leaf naked on the beach that day as she slowly took another deep breath. Sorry. She blushed apologetically as she took another breath. Its a lot to take in. She admitted with a nervous giggle as she stared back up at Leaf. So you participate in it, but your parents dont? She asked confused as she stared at the relatively curvy girls body which were obscured by the baggy clothing. She had so many more questions, but wanted to give Leaf a chance to answer some that she had already asked, and to give the dark haired girl another chance to explain a bit more about her odd lifestyle, choosing not to bring up the beach incident for the time being as she leaned back forward and stared up at the younger girl.
