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

Leaf felt comfortable with Cat, she seemed to be filled with genuine interest and a curious spirit, and even if she blushed every time she said something goofy, that didn't keep her from being herself. She noticed her biting her lip, as if she was worried about something, but as Cat's hazel spotlights focused on her, Leaf noticed that it was herself the one nervous, not her friend. Encouraged by Cat, Leaf revealed those details about her lifestyle, about her body, and the more she talked, the more relaxed she felt. Cat gasped and giggled, smiled and stared, and by the end of Leaf's confession, in that brief moment of silence, of complicity over a shared secret, she sighed feeling content, knowing that she had made the right choice by telling her. The shine on her green eyes wavered, eager to see what Cat thought of it, and it seemed that the curious girl was far from spooked or disgusted, as she had a few understandable questions to make. Natural- wait. Naturist Leaf corrected herself. I mix the words from time to time, making my father frown. Naturist is supposed to be the right one, other people call it nudism... but don't fret about it she shrugged, giving the label no importance. Some are vegan and vegetarian since for them it's about the environment, others abstain from smoke and alcohol focusing on healthy life, it can also be about pacifism and such... it's a bit of everything with respect for the self and the others at it's core Leaf tried to explain, seeing that she was getting lost herself. I mean... it's like having six people in a coffee shop, they will all order coffee, but none of them will like it exactly the same way she smiled with her own explanation, hoping that it kind of made sense. Don't be sorry Leaf surrounded Cat's hands with her own, holding them together. I know that's it's a bit odd she added, being fully aware of what other people could think. You have taken it quite well, to be honest. I was nervous of scaring you away, thinking I'm some kind of weirdo her dark green eyes looked at Cat, while one of Leaf's thumbs idly caressed the back of Cat's hand. I'm thankful of having found you, or you finding me, whatever another shrug, another smile, Leaf felt more and more at ease, but there were questions to be answered yet. My parents did it a lot on their youth, and they still do take part from time to time, but for them was more of a rebellious thing, an act against the norm she explained. But I was sort of educated on it since I was a kid, and took a liking to it. You know that when you are a kid you don't care about being nude and just walk around? It's not like I never learned what modesty is, but I guess I'm not wired to care as much as other people do Leaf noticed that she had talked about the motivations of her parents, and the general feel of it, but not about why did he do it herself. I guess that for me it's about freedom and self esteem. I may doubt myself in many things, like... dunno, Math she said with a giggle. But my body isn't one of those things. That doesn't mean I don't trim it a bit when it's uncomfortable, but I don't try to look like someone else, just myself her explanations were a bit iffy, but the sentiment was sincere. She didn't mean that girls that did get rid of their hair were wrong, but it was about doing it for themselves, not about some beauty rule that was imposed by society. Either way Leaf didn't want to get all political with Cat, so she skipped further explanations, as seeming more militant than she really was would be dishonest. Feel free to ask whatever Leaf added, her hands abandoning Cat's, adjusting her blouse. This thing is killing me she protested, trying to fix the bra on its proper place.
