Amy sighed as she sat in the outdoor bath. "For being a rather primitive world, they do have some nice stuff." The heat and water washing over her nude form was just so relaxing that she couldn't help but relax.
She turned and frowned slightly as she saw Filia, still in those underwear, though her breasts seemed to be free now, walk into the bath area and sit down to start washing herself off. "Afraid of getting people germs?"
Filia frowned at her as she washed the sweat that had accumulated under her breasts off. "I can't get these clothes off! The best I can do is lower my top slightly."
"Sure you can't." Amy snorted as she saw Filia wash her skin up. "Oh, for crying out loud!" She got out of the bath and walked over to Filia, ignoring her nudity and grabbed at the Dragoness' clothing and pulled on it. "I bet... This..." She growled and yanked on it.
"Oww!" Filia hissed and spun, her breasts swaying as she did so. "Listen you, that hurts! I've tried to pull these clothes off, they won't come off!"
"Then how come you were able to get your top dowoah!" Amy slipped on some soap that was on the ground and fell forward.
"Eeek!" Filia tried to catch her, but she found herself slipping and falling down on her butt as Amy crashed, face-first, onto her breasts with a splat. "Oh, just great!" Filia muttered, tears welling up in her eyes. "It's not my fault, I swear! Whatever I did, Lord Vrabazard, I'm sorry."
Amy looked up and looked at Filia's face closely. "...You... You really aren't... Trying to seduce him, are you?"
"Not on purpose, but he keeps trying to look at my butt and boobs and undressing me with his eyes..." Filia whined. "Besides, you seem attracted to him."
Amy blushed as Filia pointed that out. "Well, yeah. He's a really great guy..." A flat look appeared on her face. "Even if he's being a pervert these days."
"At least he wasn't grabbing my butt like those other men were." Filia admitted softly. "So, maybe you're right, he doesn't seem like a bad guy."
Amy sighed and dropped her head forward, planting it squarely between Filia's breasts, causing the Dragoness to get wide-eyed and gulp slightly. "You're so beautiful though... I can't compare to you."
Filia sweat-dropped heavily. "But... You're not bad looking. I'm sure that he looks at you when you're not looking."
"I bet he's upstairs, in his room, thinking about you right now."
Filia shook her head. "Nah uh! He's probably thinking about you more than me." Her face turned red as Amy shook her head. The sensations were rather... Distracting, and pleasant.
"Prove it." Amy muttered and Filia blinked a few times as she looked at the naked brunette.
"Well... Um..." Her face was flushed, she couldn't believe she was going to suggest this, but... "We could go up to his room and you'll see that he's not thinking of me."
Amy blinked a few times and pulled away from Filia. "Huh, why didn't I think of that?"
"But, first..." Filia pouted. "Can you wash my back?"
"Sure." Amy sighed as she moved behind Filia and frowned as she put a hand over Filia's clothing. "...You know... This doesn't feel like clothes at all."
"Huh?" Filia blinked as Amy ran a finger down her back.
"Yeah, it's weird, but I think it's your skin..." Amy tilted her head in confusion.
"Wait!" Filia's eyes widened and teared up at the same time. "That means I'm running around naked?!"
"Maybe." Amy scratched the back of her head. "But, hey, if it's just a spell that's keeping people from realizing that you're naked, then it's not so bad, right?"
"But I'm a Dragon... I should be able to turn into my true form, use magic, fly." Filia sniffled as Amy slowly washed her back. "I'm useless like this. At least Lyos, Gourry and Shiro all have skills that are useful in a fight. What good is a Dragon that's stuck as a human and can't use any power?"
"You've still got your super strength, right?" Amy asked and Filia sighed, shaking her head. "You don't?"
"I don't know. Mace-sama disappeared after I got this new outfit and..." She trembled, before putting her hands on her face. "And the Supreme Elder became evil and abandoned me. My tribe... They went evil and they just want to torture me now."
"Filia..." Amy stopped scrubbing the blonde's back. "I'm sure that when this is over, you can find other Dragons and..."
"Be betrayed just like the Ancient Dragons were?" Filia asked bitterly. She may not have wanted to believe that her race was capable of doing something so horrible, but if they could abandon her to freeze to death after stripping her naked and getting a curse on her, it wouldn't surprise her if all Golden Dragons were like that.
"Oh, come on, I'm sure..." Amy trailed off as Filia stared crying. She sighed and got behind Filia and wrapped her arms around the sobbing girl. "Come on... Not all Dragons are like..."
"We were..." Filia sobbed, "supposedly the protectors of this world, and all we did was screw up." She did appreciate the hug that Amy was giving her, but it wasn't helping her mood at that moment. "I... I believed that Xellos was the worst enemy of all Dragons." She may not have liked him, but he was right, her kind did slaughter plenty of Mazoku back then too. "Now I think... I think that maybe the world would be better off without us. At least Lord Vrabazard wouldn't feel betrayed by us."
Amy sighed softly. "Hey, come on..." She tightened her hug and wondered what she could do to help the Dragoness, the poor dear was just so stressed out at that moment that Amy wasn't sure what could help.
She could try asking the captain, but then blanched at the thought of asking Lindy just what she would recommend to relax.
The woman was just... Weird.
(---)
As she looked in on the two, Lindy smiled to herself. Who knew all Amy needed to calm down was trying to console an upset girl?
Still, she was a touch worried for her son. If he took after his father anymore, he was going to have both Amy and Filia fighting over him like she and Leti had for Clyde.
Oh well, it wouldn't be as bad as it had been between her and Leti.
At least she hoped so.
