Commander's Rounds

Entry 71.5: A Formidable Companion

Taihou giggled sweetly. "So, how does it look?~"

Taihou smiled as she turned around. She had tailored herself a copy of Formidable's dress just to see how it felt on her, and she had no complaints about it at all. it was so comfortable absolutely everywhere on her body, even as big as she was- it was no wonder that a big girl like Formidable was so fond of such a thing. She gave the carrier a bow. "Isn't it magnificent on me?"

Formidable smiled, and put her hands together. "It's quite lovely, Taihou, but I do have one question, if you may allow me to be forward."

Taihou giggled once again. "Oh, did you take me for one of your royals, or perhaps one of those stiff Sakurans? Ask me however it pleases you."

Formidable walked forward and reached out, gently cupping the underside of each of Taihou's enormous but oddly well-supported breasts with her dexterous hands. "Tell me, from where did you acquire the support? Or can we add "engineer" to your list of talents?"

The other carrier smiled. "That just took a little talk with that little shopgirl of ours, and everything was in my hands. And in your hands, too~"

Formidable withdrew her hands, and did a little curtsy for Taihou. "Well, thank you for showing me this. Many of us have experimented with Eastern dress, but it's rather unusual for someone from the Sakura Empire to do the same with our own clothes."

Taihou stretched, just to check to see how well everything held up under stress. "Hm? Well, there aren't any borders, when it comes to making yourself amazing by dressing up... Or dressing down~"

Taihou's association with the Illustrious sisters began one time when the commander was away from the port on some other business, when Illustrious and Bataan came to check on her to see if she was doing well. Taihou regarded Illustrious as rather non-threatening, and then later regarded the sisters as someone she could take refuge with when something happened when the commander was not around. When the commander had been mortally wounded, the Royals had looked after her then, too.

And then Formi came up to her at the commander's wedding and showed her that perhaps some Royals weren't quite as inflexible as they might appear on the surface. After all, Formi liked her sound on stage.

And so the Illustrious sisters became people she would hang around, especially Formidable. She didn't like to be around overly-mannerly people who looked down on her, and Formi liked to be around someone she didn't have to be overly polite around and could just be herself.

Which is how it got to the point that Formi was freely fondling Taihou to see how her clothes worked, and Taihou didn't mind it.

Formi smiled. "Of course. When one says to dress to impress, the sort of dress hardly matters, after all. One's demeanor also plays a part in it, I would imagine. But I don't think you would have left your room just to show me a thing like this, correct?"

Taihou smiled as she played with the skirt of her dress. "Just interested in looking around this lovely world that dear commander has built. Is it so strange for me to want to do something like this?"

Formidable thought about it. "Yes, actually."

Taihou pouted a bit. "Well... Maybe things are different now!" She sighed. "Besides, if I go out, I don't have to deal with all those people who are always trying to boss me around. You know, I might be allergic to foxes..."

Formidable giggled. "Well, I see how it is. If you want a bit of refuge from your fluffy burdens, you are free to come here when I am available. Illustrious never objected to looking after you, of course, seeing as you are a fellow armored carrier who has had understandable difficulties."
