Recap: Sabine spent the night with Nova and watched her play with herself. Nova broke up with Tate.
*
A week later.
Nova and Lucia were patrolling the woods surrounding the village knowing it were a training exercise the girls weren't paying too much attention. "So I heard about you and Tate, how did that go?"
"Um good I'm just happy we are done, and thank you for warning me."
"Yeah of course....so what about Zane?!"
"What about him?"
"Nova!?...You don't find him attractive?!" Nova was focused on the trees looking for Sabine.. "Nova what is your problem?! You have been staring at the trees all day long!"
Nova sighed, "I don't like guys." Lucia gasped.
"You mean?" Nova nodded. "But how?! Since when?!"
"I don't know I just, there is this women..."
"Really?! Do I know her?!"
"No you don't."
"Can I meet her?!"
"Maybe."
A horn sounded. "Ugh, I'll go check in, you stay here."
Sabine playfully attacked Nova , hitting and rolling on the ground laughing "I knew you were here!"
"Nova I'm always with you." Laying on the ground catching up Lucia walked upon the two.
"uh...Nova mind explaining?" Nova got up straightening herself.
"Um Lucia this is the women who I-" Lucia saw the mask and the markings on it.
"Nova she's ..she's!!"
"Lucia, Lucia it's okay!"
"No!"
"Lucia yes it is, she won't hurt you, just sit down." Nova pushed Lucia back so that she sat she finally calmed down. "This is the women who I was talking about earlier, my mom and Nona know about her, I can't tell you her name not out here, she is a really great person."
"Lucia, nice to meet you ...I guess."
"You too."
"Wait she speaks English?! When did you two meet."
"Three and a half years ago tomorrow." they both said in unison.
"Nova you have been keeping her a secret for that long?!"
"No, um actually she showed herself about four-ish months ago."
"Soooo how did you two meet?" Lucia asked again.
"Well when I was in the woods with the boys that one day and they left me and I went missing for those two days, she kidnapped me, healed me a little, gave me that panther pelt took me back home..."
"Yes, I saw her in the woodland, thought she was beautiful I had to find a way to talk to her, of course back then I didn't know much English so trying to tell Nova that I wouldn't hurt her was a little rough."
They heard rustling a tall bulky man dressed the same as Sabine. "Uh sorry to intrude, we have little time for our leaving."
"Very well Nyko, thank you." He leaves around a tree.
"Wait I thought you said you only live with women?"
"We have about 20 men they are well trusted and are mainly used for breeding, teachers, and other services, besides a few that live with their male or female life partners."
Lucia cuts in. "Wait,so in your clan men are allowed to be with men, and women with women?"
"Yes." Nyko comes back out. "Commander we must hurry." Sabine said her goodbyes and said she would visit later that night.
Nova was showering in her floors bath area, Lucia came in she went to the shower head next to Nova like she usually does. "Sooo if you're into women does that mean that you find me attractive?"
"I mean yes you're pretty but you're my friend and I wouldn't cross that line."
"Gotcha... so can I know her name?....and she's the commander!? Of the death tribe!? That's like so cool...and hot!"
Nova laughed, wrapped in towels they go into Nova's room, Sabine out in the tree, Nova peeks out and sees her, she smirks, Sabine waves. Standing at her bed in front of the window, she drops her towel. "No but seriously she is hot Nova.."
"You should see her naked."
Lucia turns around pulling her shirt down "Nova?!.... have you two...?!"
"No, not really."
"Do you want to?"
"Yes, so much but I think she enjoys teasing me."
"Ooohhh kinky hahhaha"
Sabine stumbles through the window and falls. "Why the hell do you have that bench there?"
"I thought it would help?"
"Not really." Sabine gets up and removes her mask setting it down, she removes some armour and her shoes.
"Nova?! You knew she was out there didn't you?"
"Yeah?"
"And you just dropped your towel like it was nothing?!"
"She has her ways of teasing me and I have mine."
Sabine comes over and hugs Nova from behind holding her she speaks.
"Lucia, Nyko has asked about you."
"He did?"
"Yes he thinks you are very beautiful and would like to see you again if you wanted to see him."
"Yes! Yes I would love to!"
"Okay we can make a day for that." Sabine lets go and runs her hand down a half dressed Nova's back ...She proceeded to put the rest of her clothes on but Sabine spoke up "You will just be taking those off again soon."
Nova blushed "Okay."
"Okay well I'm going to go, Sabine nice meeting you, take care of my best friend, and let me know about your handsome friend."
"You too,and will do."
Nova walks Lucia to the door she locks it and leans her back against it staring at Sabine she bites her lip. Sabine not paying attention is trying to work dried dirt and sap off of her arm. Nova watches her grow frustrated with the stickiness now on her fingers as well. Nova throws on a shirt "Come on." "What?"
