Chapter 6: Pizza with Bullets
"Why are you looking at me like that, Mr. ICA operative? I've got no hidden weapons, you can see that!" Ximena giggled while Arnold ogled her fit figure.
The clerk turned his attention to pizza, much to the delight of the two naked girls who cheerfully poked fun at his shyness. He turned out to be completely unprepared for Ximena just stripping like that. Of course, seeing Leo's naked form throughout the last day made Arnold a bit more confident around her, but she was a Sanflarian. This girl was a regular US citizen who just decided to join Leo's naked show on a whim. Arnold found this unexpected, surprising, and simply amazing at the same time. The countess reacted positively as well, looking at Ximena with a newfound respect.
"Finally, someone who understands," the blonde grinned, running her finger down the student's body.
"Like I said, I adore Sanflarian culture and traditions, and it's amazing that I met you here. I won't let this chance go to waste, so take this as me showing my love for your world!" Ximena pointed at her alluring boobs and wiggled them a little, to which the blonde smiled and did the same in solidarity.
Arnold commended Ximena's bravery, though he could clearly tell Leo's comfort wasn't the only reason she stripped. The Hispanic girl's nipples were erect, and there was a naughty smile on her scarlet lips. She must've enjoyed this far more than it seemed, and not just because of the interworld contact.
It became even more apparent when Ximena strolled back to her friends through the dining area to grab some pizza. The girl's smile seemed to grow while she walked past each table. One of her buddies gave her a loud buttslap and told her to "have fun" before she went back, to which others reacted with a laugh.
"Now there's enough food for all of us," Ximena said, spreading the slices she brought between the trio. "So, what is the countess' business in our little state?"
Arnold imitated a cough, trying his best to signal Leo that she shouldn't tell too much. The countess gave him a discreet wink, still not trusting the locals.
"I suppose you can call it sight-seeing."
"I see, you don't have to explain if it's a secret," the smart girl giggled. "Are you impressed with our sights so far? How do our lands hold compared to your own province?"
Leo told the truth about her initial impression about the diner and the hotel. Ximena glanced at Arnold with a bit of judgment, as if it were his fault they couldn't find a better place to stay at night. Then, however, the blonde added that she enjoyed some of the Earth's inventions, the food was slowly growing on her, and the sun here was quite pleasant, even if it couldn't be compared to the solar star of her homeland. Of course, Ximena used that last remark to jump topics, clearly more interested in Sanflaria than this place.
Their conversation began flowing like a river, nice and refreshing. Leo told her naked friend about the mighty trees whose leaves were all colors of the rainbow and unique animals that seemed magical to Earthians who visited them. Then, there was a story about Sanflarian cities that beamed with solar light that moved their progress forward. She didn't forget about the spiritual life of her people, consisting of profound fields such as arts and religion, both of which were mostly dominated by women.
It turned out, Leo was a painter herself and enjoyed capturing the nature and the life of her beloved Kir'ador. Arnold felt a bit guilty after learning this fact. He was so focused on the countess' nudity that he forgot to ask about her other interests. Meanwhile, the countess bonded with Ximena over their shared passion for art. Especially tattoos, to see which Leo made her new friend stand up and turn around like she was a model on a catwalk, much to the delight of Arnold and other male customers.
"I see you've made yourself a work of art. More than your body already was, I mean," Leo concluded with a smile.
"Indeed. I'd love to see something like this on you too, but I take it you'd prefer not to?"
"I prefer my natural look, gifted to me by nature, indeed. But there is one tattoo I made, even though it's a bit hidden."
All the nearby patrons looked over the countess' naked body, trying to spot an image they somehow missed before. After a minute of intrigue, Leo turned her back to her friends and raised her golden mane. On the back of her neck was a coat of arms, resembling an orange and yellow shield with white wings and a massive tree growing in its center. An everlasting symbol of Kir'ador that Leo carried to always remember who her kin were. Yet she chose the only part of her body everyone won't see right away so she wouldn't flaunt her noble upgringing in front of the commoners.
"It's amazing," Arnold complemented the symbol while Ximena applauded its deep meaning.
"Thanks, but it's nothing special," Leo became shy for the first time since Arnold knew her, "just an inner part of me I wanted to represent."
"I have a toast. For self-expression!" The dark-skinned girl cheerfully raised her lemonade.
The duo replied in kind, their interaction naturally turning silly as they grew comfortable with each other. Ximena wanted Leo to try more pizza types, so the nudies ended up feeding one another, laughing at how far the cheese stretched and gently putting pepperoni slices into each other's mouths. It was funny when one of the slices fell onto Leo's nipple, and Ximena noticed it first, saying:
"Oh no, censorship!" then suddenly leaned forward and ate it right from Leo's boob.
"Good thinking," Leo laughed in response, "although you still have a lot to learn. Firstly, puff out your chest a bit and spread your legs. We don't wanna make it seem like you're shy, right?"
"Of course not, my lady," Ximena did what she was told, biting her lip in pleasure.
The next target were mozzarella sticks, with both girls grabbing one at the same time. Leo didn't lose her cool and offered a very creative way of eating it: she held one half of the stick with her mouth and neared Ximena with a tempting gaze. The student took the offer, and the two quickly finished the stick as their lips touched in the middle, turning this into a lovely kiss. Leo's approval for her new friend's choice to strip naked was obvious.
"Like in Lady and the Tramp," Arnold giggled.
"Thanks for calling me a tramp, I guess," Ximena couldn't contain a laugh either.
