It was an unusual custom, perhaps an uncomfortable one in some ways, but if Priscilla Divine was a friend of both Nikki and The Queen, it fell to Valari to observe the preferred practices. She did not let her mind dwell on the notion of being attired like this in Nikki's presence, though it stirred certain thoughts in her.
Valari noted Coco's silence as well. It seemed she was accustomed to passive observation when not directly occupied.
At the townhouse, Valari greets Scratchy the pet cat with a gentle, fleeting caress on the forehead, then follows Nikki to the room. She dutifully averts her eyes when Nikki tells her not to peek, then looks at the selection of bikinis proffered.
The sizes aren't a great match. Valari has significantly more in the trunk, and less in the cups, than Nikki Kade. But at length she finds an aqua-blue-green bikini that may serve her purposes well enough.
>"Hmmm, perhaps this one? May I ask for your help in..... unlacing?"Valari presents her back to Nikki. When Nikki unlaces the corset from her, she draws in a deep breath, only for her heart to quicken as she realizes the next step is to disrobe and change in front of her.
That should not matter, right? Nikki was willing to dress in front of her. With a deep breat/h/, Valari slips out of the dress and corset and steps into the bikini.
