" I am not wearing that."

" But Vareya you must, it's tradition for all girls to wear this. Besides, look at how pretty these colors are! We all agreed these compliment your eyes and hair the most, right girls?" Tsireya said, looking at where Móna and Kiri sat.

" I think it would look beautiful on you." Kiri complimented, then turned to Móna. " What do you think?"

With a smile that didn't reach her eyes she replied, " I agree."

After being forcefully dragged to an empty hut by her cousin and Kiri, all fear and respect they had prior completely wiped away it seemed, they instantly began talking nonsense. Not even giving Vareya time to protest to all their ridiculous ideas as they began dressing her like a doll.

Brainstorming ideas without even consulting with her prior.

Apparently they invited Móna as well so they can spend quality time together, in hopes that somehow the two girls will find a way to at least tolerate each other.

Yet from the scowls, eye rolls, and backhanded comments she keeps receiving from her, Vareya has determined that their efforts have failed. Not that she minds, she wasn't putting much effort herself due to her lack of interest of the girl.

And just by her most recent reply of the ridiculous outfit that was presented before her, Vareya would enjoy wearing it only to see her reaction. Except her pride is much too large to allow her to do that. Not without at least protesting a bit more.

" What's wrong with what I have on?" she questioned Kiri and her cousin, disregarding Móna once again.

" There's nothing necessarily wrong with it, it's just not very... festive."

" Besides, we're all wearing one. At least try it on, please Vareya?"

With a defeated sigh she snatched the outfit from Tsireyas hands, who only smiled at the partial victory.

" Fine, I'll try it on." was the last thing she muttered as she walked behind the hut for privacy.

" With an open mind!" Kiri yelled, before bursting into laughter thanks to the glare she got from Vareya.

When Vareya came out wearing the outfit, the small talk the three girls had fallen into instantly paused. They all stared at her with wide eyes, only her cousin and Kiri had a big smile to accompany it.

" Wow." Tsireya breathed out, eyes filled with admiration.

" You look amazing. Like, head turning amazing."

" Attention capturing amazing." Tsireya added.

Kiri smirked and bumped Tsireyas shoulder, " A certain someone's attention capturing amazing."

Oh no. " That's it I'm taking it off!" she yelled out, starting to peel off the wing like arm accessory. She hardly had a chance to grasp her arm before she was jumped on.

" No! You are wearing this and that's final!" Kiri said seriously.

" I can't wear this, I look ridiculous! Don't I look ridiculous fish girl?" Vareya had no choice but to turn to her for some help.

But to no surprise, the useless girl was no help at all. With how much she stuttered and hesitated, not even a sxkawng like Lo'ak would've believed her, " I-it doesn't look...bad but I think she can wear whatever she likes."
