Straight to the point, eh? The older woman couldn't say she minded.

Without another word Maea fell into a jog and followed Thalassa towards the hill. Content to keep a moderate pace for a while, she waited until her joints were warmed up. Then she picked up the pace until she came up alongside the pirate, keeping up with an ease that might be surprising given her shorter stature and the mass of fabric gathered around her legs. The slits worked into the skirt did their job well, though - with every stride there was a flash of red as silken underskirts made themselves noticed, occasionally offering a hint of slim legs beneath. Covered in fleece lined trousers, of course; she was not a complete idiot.
And just because she could, and because it felt good, Maea tried lengthening her stride just a little bit, to see whether she could pass the dark-haired ancient before they reached the Peekabo Rise.

Just a glimpse of truth
