<5> Zarain's heart skipped a beat as he read his daughter's latest, brief message. Her cryptic words left him confused for a few moments, though that feeling was soon replaced by an ominous feeling. Surely she couldn't have meant... could she have? Ava had been a headstrong child from the beginning, and he'd known from her first spellcast that he wouldn't dare to come between her and her aspirations. The letter had been dated and sent the day before, though Zarain had only received it just that morning, and he became certain he would see his daughter before the day's end. His mind reeled as he laid the note down and carefully stepped out of his little hut. The warm morning breeze rushed around every pore of his skin as he nonchalantly bared his naked body to the outdoors. The steadily-rising sun simply made the nudist colony all the warmer, and already there were a dozen or more other draenei milling about, one and all either completely naked or without leggings and undergarments. The communal breakfast had ended prior to the mail distribution, and it wouldn't be until after lunch that the games and tournaments would pick up. This often allowed the visitors to congregate and chat at their leisure, and after a week's stay there, Zarain had come to know a handful of others by name, just as they had with him. "Yoohoo! Zarain! How does the morning greet you?" Zarain's head turned to the call to find the sprightly visage of a middle-aged draenei woman smiling back at him. A thin t-shird was draped loosely over her upper body, while her lower half remained naked, sporting a steadily-graying, neatly-trimmed patch of pubic hair amid her pale blue skin. "You gonna be at the whack-a-gnome tournament later? I hear that a few of the Gnomasons are meant to participate." Zarain returned her smile and walked up to greet the woman. "It is going well, thank you Riia! And perhaps, but I should be expecting a visitor at some point today, so I may have to miss this one." Riia cocked a gray-haired eyebrow. "Oh? And who would that be? Fresh members are always welcome here. Will they be staying?" "I-" "For a little bit!" a feminine voice suddenly cut him off. Both draenei turned to see none other than a stark naked Ava skipping happily in their direction. Zarain felt the breath flee his lungs, and all it took him was a moment of sizing her up for him to furiously clench his thighs, trying as hard as possible to fight back an erection. As casually as could be, Ava trotted right up to her father and threw her arms around his bare shoulders, flattening herself to him in an exceptionally intimate embrace. Riia's eyes went wide at the unexpected display of affection, though the shock was brief and her look turned coy quite quickly. "And who is this charming young lady?" Ava didn't wait for her father to hug her back, and instead she turned to Riia, flashed her a disarming smile, and let go of him with her left hand to offer Riia a handshake. "I'm Yrel! No relation to the other-timeline Exarch," she assured her. "Charmed!" Riia returned enthusiastically and returned her gentle handshake. "I am Riia, and it would seem you know Zarain, here, quite well. And, uh... how well [i]do[/i] you two know each other?" Zarain opened his mouth first, but Ava's hand softly slid down from his shoulder blades to his lower back, and ultimately gave his right cheek a soft pinch to keep his words at bay. "He hasn't told you? Zarain!" she chastised, softly patting his bare chest with her free hand. "We've been courting for a few years, actually. I ran into him during an expedition into Blackrock and we just... hit it off!" "Oh how adorable!" Riia returned and pressed a hand to her chest. "My late husband and I met similarly in Uldaman." "No kidding? Isn't it grand how something like that can happen?" Ava returned, clinging to her father all the tighter. "Sorry for interrupting, Zarain, but I just had to come find you right after I got here. I have a few bags to retrieve first, but I'd love a tour of the little colony! I've missed you badly, and I very much would like time with you..." Ava paused briefly, then carefully leaned into his ear and dropped her voice to a whisper before adding, "... Daddy." Then as quick as the whirlwind came in, Ava was trotting back off toward the colony's entrance, her tail swishing happily behind her from side to side. Zarain was left thunderstruck in that moment, and with her last word, he couldn't hide a few fleeting twitches of his manhood. His thickness began to stand outward just an inch or so from his body --something Riia was very quick to pick up on. The mature draenei woman smirked at Zarain. "Well now, I can't say we've known each other that long, but I didn't imagine you'd be drawn to one so... [i]young[/i]!" The male draenei struggled to find a response for a brief moment. "Sh-she is thirty in human years! Plenty old enough!" "He says of a race that lives eternal," Riia cocked back, crossing her arms over her covered chest. "To be honest... I envy that sort of ambition, especially after you mentioned your wife's passing. Oh if I could find a mate that young..." Her glowing blue eyes turned skyward as a thin smile crossed her face, though she quickly shook off the brief reverie. "And what does your daughter think? Yrel must be about her age, no?" Zarain had forgotten he'd mentioned Ava to Riia before, but he was thankful that he'd been somewhat vague about the details. Riia was a friendly sort though -friendly enough to bend the rules and help snap a photo of him in full- and despite her ribbing, he could tell by the tone of her voice that she wasn't judging him too harshly. "Actually... she was the one who encouraged me to court her in the first place. They get along like a ship on fire." "Awh!" Riia returned, looking almost misty-eyed. "That is adorable! It is clear that she cares for you and your happiness. You are a very lucky male, Zarain." A glance back toward the entrance revealed Ava carrying a heavy bag in each hand, though the spring had not left her step. "Well, I should be off before I make myself late for the game. Don't let me get in your guys' way!" Just as she was about to walk off, Riia stopped. "Oh! One more thing," she added and leaned in to quietly whisper into Zarain's ear. "There is a hidden path at the Northwestern corner of the colony that leads to a safe, impassible spot in the hills... if you two require some privacy." And with a final wink, Riia was on her way, smiling at 'Yrel' a final time as they passed each other. Ava's smile only widened as she strode up to her father, showing no issue whatsoever with her nudity. "Well that was a fun trial run," she remarked quietly with a giggle. "She figure me out?" Zarain shook his head and sighed. "She had no idea, but what is this game you are playing? If someone were to find out-" The cunning mage pressed a finger to her father's lips and leaned in close, smirking coyly. "Hey, you said yourself that there's nobody here we [i]really[/i] know, right? Don't worry about it!" The elder male still had an uncomfortable look on his face. "And what... what is [i]this[/i] for that matter?" he added with a gentle gesture between the two of them. Ava's gaze flickered briefly. "Well, I... I've missed you a lot, daddy, and since we found something that we can both bond over, I figured... why not?" Zarain stared his naked daughter down. "There is more to it than simply bonding over nudism," he stated more than asked. "Yeah, so?" she returned as nonchalantly as could be. "Is that something... you don't want?" "I didn't say-" he retorted reflexively, then stopped himself the second he realized what he [i]was[/i] saying. His mind struggled to sort the differences between what he thought was right, and ultimately what he really wanted, before speaking again. "I... suppose I am uncertain." Ava tipped her head to one side, and with a small smile she gently draped her arms over his broad shoulders, rose to the tips of her hooves, and dropped her voice back to a whisper. "Tell you what, daddy: If you trust me, let's just... play this out for, like, a day, okay? And if it's really too weird or something, we go back home and don't ever speak of it again, alright?" Zarain hesitated for a brief moment. "I... suppose that does not sound so bad," he admitted, once again struggling to keep his body in check as his daughter's breasts softly grazed his bare chest. Her smile widened even more coyly. "Great, but... I'm pretty sure I know the answer," she added teasingly before leaning in to kiss him. What Zarain had expected to be a brief peck, however, immediately melted into a heated, passionate kiss that flushed his cheeks even more darkly than before. Ava even let a soft giggle slip into the kiss, quietly noting that her father had no longer been able to completely control his ensuing erection. "So! I think you owe me a tour of the colony, right? I wanna see [i]everything[/i]." The elder draenei stayed as close behind his naked daughter as he dared, trying his best to push away that wonderfully pesky erection. "O-of course... just as soon as you put your things in my cabin."
