The Girlies (and Stark) are at the water park, having a great time using Kanne's magic to make attractions of their own. This is probably causing damage to the equipment but ahhh who cares
Laufen notices one person missing, though
L: hey guys, where did Fern go?
S: oh, good point... AH! I see her, she's over by the umbreLLRBRBRBBRBRBLLR (0 д 0)====
Kanne attempts to drown the poor man as he stands
L: ... I'll be back, don't kill the guy
She Jilwers over to Fern, who is sitting with her legs to her chest, covered with a towel, despite being bone dry
L: (; ◠‿◠) eeeey girlfriend, everything good?
F: oh yes, don't worry, you all have fun. I'm just resting a bit
Laufen squats down next to her
L: ( ＾∇＾) aw c'mon, I can tell sumn is botherin-
F: I'm fine ( ._.)
...
...
L: (; •́ _•̀ ) yeeeeah it's your swimsuit ain't it?
F: no
...
F: ok yes it is. I just... I don't understand how you all seem so... I don't know, how AREN'T you embarrassed?
Fern pulls her legs tighter to her chest
F: ( ,, ._. ,, ) I feel... naked... ☝(˶•_• ˶ ) And the Goddess teaches us that modesty is-
L: ahhh yep. Knew it
Laufen plants a hand on Fern's back
L: ( ⚆_⚆) listen up, ya lil senior citizen, you. The village I'm from's got two temperatures: hot, and REALLY hot. We're used to wearin' stuff like this basically year round. I only wear more now cuz it's cold up north
F: you have a point... But... I just don't-
L: shh I get it. I'M comfortable in sumn like this, but that don't mean YOU gotta be too
She gently gives her a few pats on the back
L: Everyone's got their own comfort level with this kinda stuff. Sure that swimsuit's cute, but what matters more is how YOU feel in it, and if you DON'T feel comfortable, then we can do something about it!
F: (˶´•_•`˶ ) like what exactly?
L: wow, you really ARE new to this ain'tcha? (´∀｀；)
F: well I've had only one outfit for most of my life, I only really dabble in accessor-
From the side, a swimming shawl emerges, being held aloft by a heavily calloused hand
S: eyo Fern! I- uh- I saw this at the gift store and thought ya might like it ヾ(＾∇＾')
...
...
F: you just want to see me in it, don't you?
S: ah- uh- (• _ • ;) I mean, if ya don't LIKE it I can-
Fern snatches the shawl from him and puts it on immediately. She gets up and looks over herself, her stern expression softening
F: thank you very much (˶•‿•˶)
After a quick bow, she rushes over to prevent the Roommates™️ from causing further property damage
...
S: ᕕ( ＾‿＾)ᕗ WWWWEEEELP guess I better go joi-
L: yannow, nobody likes an eavesdropper (◦ˇ _̆ ˇ◦ )
S: huh? who said I was listening in? (꒪-꒪ )
L: heh... well either way, good move dude ᕙ(´ ･ᴗ･ ` )
She cheekily elbows him in the side. It feels like she elbowed concrete
L: (。_ 。 ) whoa holy shit
...
...
...
L: ... so... Uh... Does Eisen have a phone-
S: no he doesn't
L: oh
