Over the Bridge

In which Kitty overcomes her fear of the Dragon Bridge, her and Mikael have a discussion on the provocative nature of her Cheongsam, and Helfer gauges her breast size.


| As the three approached the bridge, Kitty found herself becoming unreasonably reluctant. The nearby waterfall with it's growing roar certainly didn't help and she angled to be near the center as she grew close. Communication at less than a shout became impossible, when she felt Mikael's arm around her. She looked up at him and he smiled, obviously trying to calm her.

Meanwhile, Helfer had raced ahead and was even now peering down into the roiling waters below excitedly. While the drop really wasn't all that far, the churning of the river below after the waterfall just a few yards away, and the sharp, unyielding rocks that may lay below the surface were the real dangers. Yet Helfer seemed to have no fear at all and was happily waving to Ubergard to share the view as she leaned over the side to watch the rushing water below. | | | After what seemed like hours to Kitty, Mikael had helped her across and beyond the bridge just far enough to talk again.

"Bothered you eh?" Mikael asked.

"You think?" she laughed sarcastically and a bit nervously. "But thanks. I appreciate you staying close."

"It's no bother."

They sat down and waited until Helfer and Ubergard finally stopped their sightseeing and came walking back to them. Even now Helfer was turning back occasionally as if to appreciate the bridge from a different angle with an expression of awe and amusement on her face. | | | "Never have I seen such as this! Kitty, does it not delight?"

"Delight? Not me, I'm afraid Helfer. In fact it frightens me a little. I get a bit nervous around things like that," she admitted. "Still, it isn't something I'll soon forget, that's for sure!"

Ubergard turned back to Mikael, "How far to Solitude from here?"

"No more than an hour or two. We'll be there in plenty of time before sundown."

Ubergard nodded. "Any reason to stop in the village here before we move on then?"

Kitty shook her head when the Argonian turned to her. "Not me, we can get far better food in the city, I'm sure. Which reminds me... Mikael?"

Mikael looked at her as they continued on past the village, "Yes?" | | | "Where will we stay tonight? Are there rooms at the college?"

"Oh no, not the kind you'd like to stay in. They have rooms for students, but those are usually occupied and very small, and there's no telling how many would be available now. Better to stay at the inn."

Kitty nodded agreement.

"In fact, we'll just hang out at the inn tonight. It will give me a chance to catch up on the local gossip too. It's always good to know what has been going on since I was here last. In fact, I was wondering if maybe you might be interested in giving a performance tonight?" | | | "Do... Do you think they'll like it in Solitude? I mean, Whiterun is one thing, but Solitude is pretty... I don't know... metropolitan?"

"That's why I think you`should. If the locals like it at the inn, that will go a long way towards winning the College over to my proposal. If they don't... well, better to know ahead of time anyway."

Kitty nodded. "Makes sense. But I'd best not wear this outfit for the dancing. I'll need a nice bath. I've got a couple other outfits anyway. You remember that one I wore the other night right?"

"The one that tempted me to lift the 'flaps'? How could I forget?"

"Hey! I do wear underwear you know!" | | | Mikael grinned at the little Khajiit. "But that's the whole attraction, don't you see? We don't know if you do or not! One more twirl at just a_little_ faster speed and we might find out!"

Kitty returned his lascivious expression with one of her own. "Well, of course! That's what it's meant to do. But I have bad news for you. It's designed so that you'll never quite find out for certain." | | | At that, Helfer dropped back to talk to Kitty. "Helfer knows dancing! Does Kitty dance?"

"Oh, in my own way. Mikael seems to like it though. Would you like to dance with me Helfer?"

The Khajiit's eyes fairly sparkled in their eagerness that made her reply superfluous.

"Well, I'd love to have you dance with me Helfer. But... we should see if our styles are compatible."

To that Mikael nodded agreement.

"Perhaps Helfer and Kitty could practice in our room in private?" Helfer suggested.

"That's a good idea. Mikael will have the final word, since this is his project though. If he doesn't agree, you'll be OK with that right?" | | | Helfer nodded. "Helfer understands. If Mikael does not think our 'styles' are graceful together, you will dance without Helfer."

"Exactly."

"But... Helfer does not want Ubergard to see her practice."

"No?"

"No. Ubergard should see Helfer at her best only."

"Helfer..." Kitty began, but at the look from her fellow Khajiit she decided that it really wasn't her place to try and dissuade her from her obsession with the giantess. "Oh, never mind Helfer." | | | After they'd walked for a while more, Helfer again dropped back to talk to Kitty privately.

"Helfer was thinking, Kitty. Must Helfer wear clothes when dancing?"

Kitty sighed, "Well, yes! I'm afraid so Helfer. Are clothes not worn when dancing where you are from?"

Helfer shook her head. "Only in provocative dances where we remove them slowly. You do not remove the clothes when dancing?"

"No. We keep them on," Kitty smiled. "They're kinda mandatory here. Why?"

Helfer looked down at herself. "This Helfer's only clothes." | | | Kitty looked at her friend critically, then shook her head. "No... those won't do."

The look that Helfer turned to her spoke clearly of her disappointment.

"Oh, don't worry! I have a spare outfit, and we're pretty close in size."

Helfer hefted Kitty's breast, adding, "Not here. Helfer is not so big here."

"Well, let's try it anyway. This outfit does odd things with my boobs. I don't think there's that much difference. And even if there is, there are... modifications we can use to make you fit."

At that, Helfer brightened up significantly. "Thank you Kitty. Kitty is a very good person. Helfer will remember that."

Up ahead Ubergard announced. "We're here. Welcome to Solitude!" | |
