Ava nodded at this, and smiled softly. She noted the bit of a change in demeanor, though. So, she diverted just slightly from the subject at hand.

“Do you dance?” she asked curiously.

.

She felt embarrassed admitting to any sort of dancing skills, especially to someone who definitely seemed to be an expert.

a little but only traditional dances from Kekahi she explained with a smile and a nod. i wasn’t very good but i enjoyed it a lot. made me feel closer to my island. She paused, chewing on her lip a little. what form of dancing do you do?

text: This is gonna be dope. Yeah send me some stuff. I’ll send you a couple that I’ve been looking at too. 

“Well now, that’s an interesting choice.  Giving yourself over to me is not the wisest of choices, but perhaps you’re a more daring girl than I thought.  I’ll reward your for it though.  You may put your panties on for the trip to my home.”

.

Now she was scared that she had made the wrong choice given the way the professor responded, but she had made her decision and had to stick with it. With a nod, she indicated that she understood. She grabbed her belongings, stuffing the rest of her clothing into her bag, and quickly followed behind the professor with her head down. The last thing she wanted was for people to see her like this.

Of course, Izel would have no trouble helping Iolana with anything regarding outfits. It wasn’t just because she liked the idea of seeing the woman stripped down to her underwear, but it was a definite bonus. More than anything, she just liked helping her, putting a smile on her face was reason enough. Izel pressed her hips against Iolana’s as she danced from side to side. Her expression probably let on how much she was enjoying. “You’re good at this. You should have said so a long time ago,” she teased. Honestly, she didn’t want it to stop. “Can I show you some dance moves? It might not be appropriate though, just a heads up,” she teased, biting her bottom lip slightly. 

Iolana watched and laughed as she danced with Izel, and even if some of the moves ended up not being super technical, they were at least a lot of fun. And there was something about being this close to the mistress that made her blush. But the moment that thought crossed her mind, she felt herself blush and tried not to dwell on it. Izel was just a good friend, someone she cared about a lot. Whatever those feelings were were just that, right? And the mistress’ words helped break Iolana’s train of thought. Her face felt warm; oh gods, was she blushing? With a nod and a smile, she was curious to see what sort of moves Izel was talking about.

Ava smiled lightly at this. “Of course,” she said, nodding. She was glad that the other woman seemed to be relaxing around her and enjoying her company. Ava bit her lip a little bit, running a hand through her hair, before chuckling a little bit. “Oh, well, he was pretty good, all things considered,” she said.

.

Talking about Kalani was nice, but it also made Iolana miss him even more. Her expression grew solemn, bittersweet almost, as she wondered just where he was and how he was doing.

i never really got to see him dance back on our island but he was always there for me when i needed him

Amabella avoided showering in the slaves area if she could. It was below her to use a communal shower! However, Amabella did sometimes pass the room and notice who went in and out. As she was coming back to her humiliating cell she then noticed her most elusive toy. Iolana. Since her first time playing with the girl, Amabella had rarely seen her. It seemed as if Iolana was avoiding her and Amabella had other toys to play with so she allowed her little mouse to hide from her. But, oh, to see her again was too tempting for Amabella. She followed her into the bathroom after enough time for her to start her shower. Though she may be wearing expensive clothes, Amabella did not care about them enough to stop her from coming behind Iolana. “I believe you have been avoiding me.” She cooed and gave such a pitying look. “You have hurt my feelings.” The water splashed against Amabella but she paid it no heed. All of her attention was on her little mouse.

Many of the mistresses and masters Iolana had encountered were terrifying, but there was also another slave that intimidated her just as much. From what she gathered, Amabella was a vampire with her powers bound because of her status. Still, Iolana knew not to cross her path--literally. For a while, she managed to avoid her. It even led her to feel a little too comfortable with not seeing her. So, that night, when she went to the showers like usual, she hadn’t expected to run into Amabella. Turning sharply, Iolana’s eyes grew wide with surprise. She took a step back into the running water towards the wall, her arms immediately covering up her naked form. What did she want? What was she doing here?

Iolana couldn’t even shake her head, afraid to lie to Amabella, and instead cast her gaze downward. Biting her lip, she swallowed hard and tried to sign i’m sorry, uncertain if the other could understand what she was trying to say.

“Damn, really? I figured people did that like, all over the world. We have a lot of catching up to do! I guess that’s what college is for anyway.” That was how Izel saw it, not minding the academic aspect of attending a university and simply enjoying the social part of it. The mimic let out a small laugh at her suggestion. “My own skirt? That would be awesome, I had no idea you knew how to make clothing!” Izel said with excitement, not knowing how much work would go into making one of them. “But yeah, we can definitely do that. Maybe after work some time? You don’t want to show me how to dance right now?” Izel placed a finger on her cheek to mime a tear, while giving the woman a pout. 

.

Iolana giggled and made a so-so gesture with her hand. The skirt was less of a fabric skirt and more of a grass skirt that was used specifically for dancing. Other than that, she had no talent for making any sort of clothing. Not only that, she didn’t really have an eye for fashion either, so she usually found herself wearing pretty plain outfits.

At Izel’s teasing, Iolana laughed and pretended to let out a heavy sigh. Pushing herself off from her seat, she tried to show the mistress a few simple hula moves. It was hard to do it for too long, especially given that she hadn’t warmed up but she hoped it was interesting. After the very brief showcase, she reached over and grabbed Izel over and immediately started to do the moves again, this time a lot slower for her to follow.

Frankie smiled at this and nodded, admittedly relieved that it looked like they may not be having to worry about actual schoolwork.

“Dinner sounds lovely,” she smiled. “I’d love to join you.”

.

With a smile, Iolana nodded, glad that the mistress was willing to spend a bit of time with her. From what she recalled, Frankie was pretty nice and didn’t seem to be like one of the mistresses who tried to harm any of the grant students. Packing up her things, Iolana got up and led the two of them out of the library towards the closest place to eat.

is there anything specific you’d like for dinner?

Text: Oh, well u know if I gotta, I can sacrifice & b a taster!!! 😜🤣

He read her question and thought for a moment before laughing. “Pretty much everything! I’m kinda want to learn about traditional foods. You know? Like for Thanksgiving I made these turkey burgers on bannock bread. Bannock bread is a traditional food of my people. It felt cool to combine old and new. I’d like to learn more about the food of my people and also Fae foods.” 

He took the opportunity to stuff his mouth full of Miss Qhuinn’s amazing food. “Must be cool to get to study what you loved doing your whole life. I hope we get to be in classes together. I gotta catch up though.” 

.

Iolana leaned forward excitedly, curious to know what bannock bread was, how to make it, and how it tasted. She loved learning about other people’s backgrounds and cultures, especially from their food.

i don’t know much about either of those things but i’m sure there’s plenty to learn on this island! maybe the library will have some recipes too, especially for fae food!

There were so many people that crossed this island that Iolana figured there must be someone who could teach Tommy what he wanted to learn. Or else, she was sure that there were tons of other cuisines he could pick up too!

definitely! we can study together too and if you need help with the intro classes, i’d be happy to tutor you or give you my notes
