The day in the studio had been very proactive today, and very much a "full" day. Lots of rehearsing, organising the backtrack for her new album she had teased, as well as drafting up new ideas to include Vesper with. She wanted her lover's daughter to have her time in the spotlight, and she did promise that initially to begin with. Now, with the ideas from the breakup from Damien and someone to be the backup singer in Vesper, she had the perfect inspiration streak to meet it and thrive. Overlooking the lyrics, creating new verses and chorus' to chop up and combine into different songs, her lunch was a welcome break to the stress. She bit farewell to the receptionist as she stepped out into the brisk air of the Wind District. A quick stop for a sandwich, a cigarette in the park and maybe a helping of flirting with locals before returning to work sounded perfect.
So first, sandwiches! Aladriel was a big girl, and that was part of the appeal she had with the older audiences. People liked thicc, not thin. At least, some did anyway and Aly was a big appealer for the thicc lovers. So, she needed fatty sandwiches that had a nice side of protein to keep her looking the sexy way she was. She had a good place down the highstreet that was near the park too, so she took her ride down to Sav's Slices. It was a small cornershop-esq place she loved, and the order, Sav, loved her visits. "Saaaav! I'd like three of the usuals! I skipped breakfast today!" She called out as she entered, blowing a kiss to this Sav, a tall dark skinned male with a black buzzcut and blue eyes. "Understood mi'lady, and extras sauce wise?" "You don't need to even ask, because I'm sure you'd do as I asked if I had my way~" She gave a flirtatious wink which he responded with a hearty laugh. "Maybe another time my dear, three of the usuals coming right up!"
She waited patiently for the order, and once made and packaged, she paid in full and more for tip, and gave him a kiss to the cheek. "You're the best Sav, take care and good luck with the lunch shift!" She waved as she walked out and climbed back into her beautiful muscle car. Another few more minutes of driving and she pulled up outside the entrance to the park and set off on foot, sandwiches in a small satchel bag she keeps in her cars. Taking out a cigarette and lighting it, she kept it resting in the corner of her mouth as she passed by civilians, giving them smiles, waves and winks as she went on. At least, until she heard someone playing a violin. Listening for a few moments, she realised that it was either someone who played for a hobby and wasn't inherently that good and was struggling, or someone starting up. Either way, Aladriel didn't know how to play instruments but she knew the basics. Pitches, tones, notes, how to achieve them, so on and so forth as she did this with her own vocal cords.
She approached from behind and listened in. It was... actually really good. A few notes were hit or miss but overal, this girl was good. She gave the girl a once over to gain some understanding. Lizard faunus, darker skinned like Sav, dreadlocks... she was pretty cute. It was good. "You wanna go an octave higher for that note you're struggling with in the chorus. For the verses, the second line could do with a key change but outside of that, you're really good. Where'd you learn to play?" Bianca Sabbato Words: 622/622

Wake up, train, eat well, train well, clean yourself, eat well, sleep well, repeat until success.
What was a success? I had no idea. Maybe save more people? Kill more grimm? Stop more criminals? I didn’t know. To be honest, some people think being a huntress is a simple job. But it was hard to define what a good huntress was supposed to be.
Was it merely the actions? Or do you needed to have a certain sense of morality engraved on yourself? Was it better to be a person that did the right things for the wrong reasons or the opposite?
And what about a mediocre huntress that wants to help people, versus an outstanding one that just does it for the praise and recognition? Did people really care about the reason a person was saving you as long as they did?
Who knows. But what I knew was that doing something was always better than doing nothing and waiting for the world to handle your everything on a silver plate.
So, until I knew what I was looking for. I trained every day until I was on the verge of collapsing. Or until my body couldn’t handle it and simply refused to keep going. Today was one of those days.
I tried to work out today too. To keep going, but my legs buckled up after doing a couple squats. Some other things I tried also ended up in an early muscular failure. So I had to desist from trying that. I grabbed a couple books to start studying, wanting to get ahead with some of the future lessons we’d be seeing in class.
But my mind was distracted. Being so close to the gymnasium and other training facilities. After a while, I just ended up trying to go back to that. After three unsuccessful tries, I decided that enough was enough. I grabbed my backpack and decided to head on to the public library I had seen in the wind district sometime before...
It was when I was about to do that. That I noticed the familiar frame of my violin case waiting for me in the distance... I got close and opened up the zipper to check how that old thing was doing.
It was as beautiful as ever. With a dopey smile on my face, I ran my index finger through the smooth wooden surface of the instrument. It occurred to me that I had been really unfair to it, leaving it abandoned for so long... When had it been the last time I took it out for a ride? It had to be before the... The whole festival affair.
I probably could stand to take a free day to just take it easy... Right? I mean, it was not as if I was physically able to train right now, so I might as well get some good rest and relax my body.
A little uncertain at first. I swung the case over my shoulder and decided to head towards the city in my Haven uniform. I was too lazy to change anyway, and there was nothing wrong with representing every now and then.
Especially after all of the bad experiences people are having with Haven students, seeing one with a musical instrument instead of a weapon may help humanize us a little more, maybe?
Whatever the case, I knew just the right place to go. It was one of my favorites in the city, memorial park. Reaching the park was as easy as taking the bus connecting the Cloud district to the plaza. Once there, I walked under a tree and set camp. Setting aside my backpack with a small snack inside. And focusing on my instrument.
I started by playing some classics, but after a while, I realized I wasn’t in the mood for that. Not that there was anything wrong with it, on the contrary. I had played those so many times that they didn’t feel as challenging nowadays. So I used the random function on my music app to find some suitable new challenges.
Skipping through multiple options, I finally found one I liked. And it was by an artist whose name sounded vaguely familiar as well.
-Ohh... Evil-sounding... I like it- I smirked, setting the song on repeat as I searched for scores, and started making rough estimates on how I should perform it. The first tries were... Rocky, at best. But I believed I was slowly starting to get it.
Eventually, I was distracted by a nearby voice coming from behind me. It was feminine, and that wasn’t an understatement. It was like someone took the concept of feminity and decided to give it pitch and tone.
Humming to myself as I reflected curiously on the woman’s words. I decide to humor her and change the pitch ever so slightly, tentatively playing the same sequence again. And finding myself smiling at the results. It was much better now, much closer to the real deal.
-...Thanks. I took classes when I was little, but I have been kinda... Slacking off on it later... So it’s nice revisiting it- I said, smiling as I set the instrument aside for a few to acknowledge the new arrival, slowly turning around to meet the owner of this mysterious voice.
-You have an excellent ear. Are you a musician or... Or...-
Have you ever seen a woman you would call a ten out of ten without a shred of doubt? Someone who ticked you in all the right places and awakened all of the right feelings in you?
-...Wow...- I stupidly said. Having to swallow saliva as I couldn’t get my eyes away from the mesmerizing figure of the woman in front of me. She was tall, with beautiful white hair that kinda reminded me of Berwyn’s. But she was clearly not as bulky as her, instead, replacing sheer muscle with a soft figure with a healthy layer of fat in all of the best places.
And I was staring, perhaps more intently than what I should have. Blinking rapidly, I did my best to get a hold of myself and try not to make myself a fool in front of the lady.
-I mean! Yeah! Thanks, you are pretty... Pretty good with music! That is!-
...Dear world. I was making a fool of myself, right? Taking a deep breath, I decided to calm the fuck down and introduce myself as a person and not... Whatever the hell I had been doing up to that point.
-...Sorry. You surprised me a little. I’m Bianca. It’s nice to meet you... And now that I give you a proper look, you seem oddly familiar. Have we met before or something?-

She noticed that the violinist took notice of her voice and did as told, which sounded much closer to the original song. Perfection at its finest. "There, perfect. Bit more practice and you'll have that song nailed." Aladriel watched as the girl slowly turned around to face her and watched as her jaw dropped metaphorically and almost literally. She gave a flirtatious smile and chuckled lightly as she took out her cigarette to flick away a bit of ash, keeping a hold of it. She let out a teasing tone as she spoke "Now now, no need to gawk at beauty is there?"
She knelt down onto the grass near Bianca as she introduced herself as well as fumbled with her words horrifically, and it was just adorable. She took off her shades and folded them together, hanging it on the low cut of her shirt, emphasising her chest more so than before. She was proud of them and she loved the attention they brought sometimes. With the shades off now, her ruby eyes gave off a loving warmth as well as a sinister seduction as well, melded into one look of sheer beauty. "Well met Bianca, and whilst I haven't met you before, I'm sure you know me already. Considering you're replicating my first song after all. Aladriel Noir, in the flesh. Some call me the Brilliant Bovine too but that's just a bit too... ahh whats the word.. fangirly? A simple Aly works wonders."
She pulled out one of her three sandwiches and took a few small bites. It was a chicken, bacon and stuffing sandwich with extra mayo. She gave a little hum and wiped her mouth clean of food before she continued. "And I see you're a student of Haven too, how is the school? I thought about attending when I was younger but instead I decided against it." She also learned in close, letting her exotic perfume waft the poor lizard before she smiled a bit more mischeviously too. "And by the looks, definitely more of the... wild type of fighter.~" Bianca Sabbato Words: 346/968

-I’d say beauty would be an understatement...- I ventured to add with a brief smirk, trying to match her teasing tone as I admired how the act of hanging her sunglasses on her shirt did... Curious things about her cleavage.
Now, I was mighty surprised when she revealed herself as the author of the song. And looking at the scroll in my hand, I could correlate that this was the truth. A quick search led me to a gallery of pictures of the very same woman in front of me.
-Holy shit! Sorry, I didn’t recognize you at first!-
I wasn’t so versed in modern music, nor I had more than a passing knowledge about the extent of Aladriel Noir’s career. But I knew saying that would be kinda dickish from me, so I simply pretended it had slipped my memory.
Still, the song was pretty nice, so it was clear this woman was talented in her craft. Besides being beautiful... And now, she was talking to me. Which is the same as saying I was talking to her... And I was starting to become repetitive even in my own head.
What I truly wanted to say was that I was absolutely stocked from having this interaction. And this dumb, hopeful part of me was already wandering into unceremonious places regarding where this simple meeting could lead to. Even though a more rational part of me knew it would probably stay as a simple chance encounter...
-Nice to meet you as well, Aly- I managed to say, not wanting to sound like a desperate fangirl. Offering a small handshake at the woman in an attempt to regain my footing as I watched her produce a hefty amount of food for herself.
It made sense. A figure like hers probably needed some strenuous care and conditioning. Even if it was probably a much different routine than my own.
I was busy trying not to stare at her lips when the question about Haven and the revelation about Aly considering joining in the past made me curious. It was kind of a loaded question, to be honest. Even if entirely unintentional.
-Ah... Well... Haven is...-
A shitshow of freaks and weirdoes where everything is metaphorically held together with bubblegum and dreams? A place where they work themselves to death train us so they can throw us inevitably half baked into a world where everyone hates us and everything wants us dead?
-It could be worse... There are a lot of...-
Barbarians, bandits, mercenaries, psychos, imbeciles... Criminals. And where people more or less well adjusted still had so many problems that everyone seemed on the verge of breaking at any moment?
Where you had people like me, who bounced back from the worst parts of society and whose primary motivator was not getting thrown into jail like a dog. And who, even despite that. Managed not to be quite the worst that school had to offer? Even if only by a small margin?
-Singular people...- At this point, I couldn’t avoid showing a little of my uncertainty, as my expression fell considerably for a second or two. Sighting, I lifted my head and showed Aladriel the best smile I could for the time being.
-But all in all... We are all doing our best. So yeah, it’s not as good as it should be, but we will get better-
Even beyond all of that shit, I knew there were good people in Haven. People who didn’t need me dragging the school reputation through the mud. So I smiled, trying to at least remain hopeful about the future.
-You are making people happy now with your music, so maybe that was a good thing?- I tried to offer with a friendly tone. I didn’t know if she was happy with her choice, but she looked fine, so I figured out this was the case.
Especially considering she probably would be dead by now if you were a huntress. Either from the fall. Or from the subsequent chain of deaths as the remaining huntsman started pushing themselves well beyond their limits.
So in a way, I was happy to see Aladriel had chosen a different path for her life. I would hate to see such a nice... Voice, go to waste by dying in some uncharted territory, away from the people who certainly loved watching her perform.
She also seemed like a nice person. And wore a great perfume that almost lifted me off my feet for a moment when I first caught a whiff of it. Bringing a small unconscious smile to my face... Smile that sadly evaporated no more than a couple seconds after that...
Wild type...? Did she said that because of...
Breaking out of her spell, I leaned back a little, taking a quick look at my tail. Idly wagging behind me without myself even noticing... Oh...
I had to avert my eyes for a second, already feeling uncomfortable with where this conversation was heading. Aladriel seemed nice, and I didn’t even know if she had any malicious intent when she mentioned that. But... Some things are too heavily loaded, even if unintentional, at least enough for me to recoil a little from it.
No matter how pretty she was. I was still a person, not a walking fetish for her to gawk at. She was free to compliment me, welcomed even. Just as she was free to compliment my tail... What she couldn’t do was to call me wild only because I had one.
-I...- I began, not fully aware of how I wanted to respond to that.
-No... I’m not a wild fighter, not in the least. I may pretend to be one to trick you. But in the end, I’m always an analytical combatant. I like using unorthodox strategies and hitting you from where you least expect-
I began to say. Giving a quick summary of how I tackled combat in general. Making sure to keep to the bullet points and pertinent bits. I was not a wild fighter. Whoever said that is because they never saw me fight.
-I never let my emotions flare when I’m fighting seriously. I always fight mechanically and with a clear goal in mind. And I follow all the necessary steps for that goal to come to fruition. And I depend more in my skill for the finer details than in brute-forcing things-
I finished up with a leveled tone, sitting a little straighter than what I had been doing up to that point. I scooped my own snack out of my backpack and gave it a tentative bite. Enjoying the flavor as I waited for the woman’s reaction.
-Neither am I a wild person in general. If I had to take a wild guess, I would say that some of the craziest fighters in Haven right now are humans... You know?- I said with a questioning voice. Wanting Aladriel to catch the full meaning of my words. And what I was implying with them.
And fuck her if she got offended by it. I could even volunteer if she needed help in doing so.

Oh this lunch break was definitely going to be interesting.
Bianca seemed to reciprocate the beauty comments and Aly gave a light smile at the compliment. Even if her beauty was the most complimented thing about her, it was also good to hear it from others. She caught her eyes drifting downwards and her smile turned to a smirk as she leant forward ever so slightly, giving more of a view. "That's fine my dear, I try and remain more hidden when I'm not doing events, but some fans are die hard and know how I keep hidden. The pleasure is all mine for this." Then she gave her upmost attention about Haven which turned out to be... seemingly a hard topic. From what she could gather, the school wasn't in the best position and she could hardly blame her. There was many tragedies with Haven as of late, but it was nice to get an insider outlook of the academy. "Sounds like a tough time. These singular people sound troublesome after all, but it's good you're doing what you can." She gave a warming smile as she took another bite of her food.
It seemed the girl got the wrong end of "wild fighter" which made Aly roll her eyes and sigh, letting the girl explain her combat style, before she simply took off her cap and lightly hit Bianca in the chest in a strangely seductive and teasing way. "I'm a faunus too you dolt, why else do they call me the Brilliant Bovine? Humans are idiots anyway, dated a fair few and they've been very short sighted and stupid as it is. What I really meant by a wild fighter, is I'm sure you're more wild behind closed doors~ From my experience, most faunus are." She gave her a cheeky side eye smirk as she took out a flask and drunk from it slowly, letting some of it spill out the sides of her mouth before putting it away. "I apologise if I'm a bit... much shall we say. I'm very flirtatious, and it's very fun to be so."
She would take the time to sit herself down fully and extend her legs out fully and relax properly, pulling out her scroll and flicking it around in her hand as she hummed to herself before looking at the girl. "Say Bianca, what sort of music are you particularly interested in? Whilst that song you have there was my first and more 'pop', I've been working on a new album that's very different. I'm sure I can let you sample one of the new songs if you're interested." Bianca Sabbato Words: 440/1408

It was actually... Pretty comforting to talk about Haven. And even to receive some encouraging words, even if brief. Since it was a topic I understandably didn’t want to touch with my schoolmates. Since we probably didn’t need someone like me sulking around and dooming about how everything sucked.
We already knew it sucked. So no need for me to state the obvious. Nor for me to bother everyone else with my stupid shit.
Anyway. What happened after that was that I realized I had apparently made a fool of myself. And immediately jumped to the worst conclusions from a throwaway phrase... Nice. Excellent. I wondered how big of a hole I could make with my semblance, to bury myself forever where no one would ever see me again.
-Uh...- I stammered at her question. And even while using all of my accumulated willpower gained from 19 years of living. I couldn’t help but briefly stare at her boobs.
-Because of reasons...- I finally let out, blushing heavily and having to avert my eyes for a second, both from the humiliation and from the sudden rise of temperature in the ambient. Yep, I saw two very good reasons for people to call her that.
Damn it. How didn’t I pick it up before? Obviously, she would need to hide her traits as much as she could. I was sure some people wouldn’t take well to following a singer who was also a faunus least their fragile image of superiority started shattering around them.
So, Aladriel was apparently a cow faunus. Cute. I liked her horns. Such a shame she needed to hide them away under that cap, but I understood where she came from.
I could get away with having my tail in the full display because I enjoyed Haven’s protection. And my job was not one so heavily related to the public. But for an artist? Yeah. More than justified.
Well, now that we could come back to the... Eh. Wild side conversation. I have to admit I felt my heart beating just a tiny bit faster when the realization finally hit me. She was flirting with me. I didn’t know if she was doing it only for fun. Or had some kind of ulterior motive I was more than willing to uncover. But the cards had been dealt already, so it seemed.
-Oh... Yeah... I think I may see what you mean now- I began, sheepishly smiling at the woman. I liked where the conversation was headed, so I didn’t mind letting Aladriel take the reins for now. Or for later, if that was more her style.
-Mmm. That’s probably true. I don’t mind being wild from time to time... Although I can’t be sure that we have the same idea when we talk about “Wild”. Alas, if only there was a way to compare it- I called out, dramatically throwing my head back and raising the back of my hand towards my forehead.
I kept the pose for a hot second before laughing it off and taking another bite from my own food.
-Don’t worry- I said, a little more animated now. Leaning heavily towards Aly, having to place one hand on the ground, and really close to her legs to avoid falling. All just so I could reach her and scoop a stray droplet of liquid currently trying to slide down her chin.
-I’m having fun too- I said with a cheeky grin, taking my wet thumb and bringing it to my mouth for a brief second before making space between us again. -So don’t feel like you have to hold back-
Winking, I laid down myself. Resting one elbow on the ground as I let my feet wander in the soft grass below me. I took a few seconds before answering the woman's question about what music I liked...
Dunno, I guess I never stopped to think about it. I just listened to stuff, and if I liked it, then that was it.
-I like pretty much everything. And I’m fully aware that saying that makes me sound like a basic bitch, but that’s about it- I said at first. But you know what. That was probably the most boring answer someone could give. So I made an extra effort to formulate something a little bit better.
-Well, to be honest. I’m not that much into pop music. I listen to the occasional song here and there. But I always liked older and more melancholic sounding stuff. Not necessarily baroque and classical music, although I do like that. But more like...-
How to put it into simpler words? I didn’t wanna admit it. But in the end, me explaining further would lead to it eventually, so I considered it was better to stop beating around the bush and say it already.
-You know. Some Jazz, Blues, Tango... In essence. Sad as fuck music. I’m the kind of girl that grooves on that, for better or for worse- I didn’t know if there was something inherently wrong with that. I didn’t think so. But I could see how other people may be a little weirded out by it.
-Although I really like fusion music. You know? When the artist breaks the barriers between styles and creates whatever the fuck they want, with as many influences as they want to use-
I added it as a last-minute snippet, trying to finish my response on a lighter tone. Didn’t want Aladriel to see me as some weird emo girl or something.
-But anyway. I’d love to see your new stuff! I always like trying new things. Plus, it would be a chance to steal your secrets, so I can sell them to your cutthroat competition for good money-
I joked aloud, making the “profit” gesture with my hands as I waited for her response.
-On a similar vein. You told me you considered attending Haven. Right? I have to admit I’m curious about that. Are you any good in a fight? Or do you have a specific style that you think could have been useful-
I offered offhandedly. I felt like we had been talking about myself too much already. So maybe Aly would like the chance for a change of focus. Plus, it gave me a good opening for a nice innuendo I had been meaning to throw out there.
-I wouldn’t mind checking out your moves. If you want- I said, feigning innocence as I distractedly took a sip from a water bottle I had brought with me.

As she waited for Bianca to recompose herself from the "insult" she tried to direct at her, she placed her cap back on and finished off one of her sandwiches, her eyes never leaving the girl in question. She definitely looked fun, maybe she could talk the talk and walk the walk. Whilst Aladriel had a no under 20 policy... she could make an exception for a beautiful faunus. After all, her own lover did the same to her ten years ago. The first rather sheepish sentence made her confidence waver slightly, maybe the girl didn't like her flirting so hard? But it was swiftly erased as she jested back with her own fliratious comment. Aladriel feigned a faint whilst speaking "Oh how will we know!" then she would laugh and smile again. Then Bianca did a daring move, scooping up the water that had fallen out and sucking it, which made her smile turn from a normal one to a very devilish and devious one.
"Good, because after a move like that, I'd be disappointed if you weren't." She gave a wink straight back, from the goddess of seduction herself too. Might as well go all out, hell if this went somewhere, even better. As for the music, she snickered at the first answer, choking on her laugh for a moment. "Basic bitch is what I'd call that, c'mon elaborate." Which she did. So she liked older stuff, which combined with the Jazz and Blues era they passed through a few years prior. By few, maybe tens. Aladriel also liked the older, more classic stuff. After all, she was born in those eras too. It was only natural to enjoy such music. With her career however, she wanted to usher in a new era of music.
Having discovered other artists over her years, she managed to get some of those popular too with her own music, having partnered up for a song or two with her usually being the lyrical genius and the partner playing the music. They were knockout singles though, often hitting top 10 which in her mind, was fantastic. She gave those other artists most of the credit because she had her own fanbase that was enough for her right now. Hell, it grew because of her lyrics anyway.
Moving on, she listened to the full answer which put a smile on her face. She was passionate about music which was good. She could've made a good violinist if she wasn't a huntress in training. Talent squandered but she didn't mind. Huntsmen and Huntresses were rarer and rarer these days to see, so it was good to see one passionate about her training. "Fusion is nice, that could be classed for my next set of songs to be fair, so we'll wait and see. As for my new stuff, there's three choices. There's Drowning, Mystery and Shockwave. Mind you, the latter two are still work in progresses as I'm bringing some new talent in to help so it'll be slightly different." Then she just leaned in, gently taking Bianca's chin with a smirk. "If you were to sell my secrets, I'd have to punish such a bad girl~."
It was most certainly one of her better comebacks, and whilst even if she sold her secrets, she loved the joke. If she was serious, she'd just have to sleep with the competition so they kept quiet. Being sexy was so useful. "Am I good in a fight? Not any more. My breasts have grown even more so since I last fought, and my rear most certainly has filled itself out. Nah, I'm no good in a fight anymore. I carry a baton and a shotgun-" She would show her weapons on her belt from under the coat. "-as some fans can be very creepy so it's more for personal protection than anything. Fighting wise, I was very good at morale boosting and infiltration funnily enough. When you can hide your traits as well as I can, most humans over look everything." She gave some hint of insight to her roll in the most recent war, and if she picked up on it she would divulge more information but in a more private setting perhaps.
Her hand reached forward to tip the water a bit more, hoping it would spill a little. If it did, she would take her own thumb and scoop up the water before lustfully licking it clean. "Oh honey, I know moves you've never even thought of, let alone tried~" Bianca Sabbato Words: 756/2164

I felt the blood rushing to my face like delivered by a pressure hose when she playfully mentioned the consequences of revealing her dark, mysterious musical secrets.
Was it getting hot here? Was it just me? It certainly felt like that. So I needed to undo one of the buttons from my jacket, or else I would find it hard to breathe... Her response really took me by surprise and in a pleasant way.
I knew that she was jesting. But in the off chance that she believed something like that would deter me from doing anything, she was wildly mistaken... Quite the opposite, to be honest.
-Who knows, I may be into that... Like... A lot...- I felt compelled to tell the woman in front of me. Averting my eyes for a second as I could absolutely not say it while looking at her. And immediately, I felt my heart jumping in my chest like it was trying to leave my body and jump straight into Aladriel’s arms.
This woman didn’t know what she was doing to me. Nor the level of restraint that I had been forcing myself to show up to this point.
-Anyway... B-back to the topic. I guess I would like to hear Drowning. As it is the one you have put more work on. And the title sounds interesting- I said, trying to turn the conversation towards safer topics that didn’t make me look like a pervert.
… I mean... I was a pervert. But no one likes looking like one. Right? Besides. It’s not like I was going along with it only because she was cute. I honestly liked her music and was excited to hear an advancement of her new projects if she wanted to.
Hell... Maybe I could help a little? Even if just to contribute a single line of the violin to a real, professional song? It was just a pipe dream and probably disrespectful of me if I were to ask her directly. But I still held to the childish hope that maybe a famous artist like Aladriel could be willing to a small collaboration, even if only as a musical easter egg...
I still knew that was not something to get my hopes up for. So I would be more than happy to simply hear Aladriel's new material and give her my thoughts about it.
Continuing the conversation, I didn’t feel the need to make any commentary when she spoke about how her body had filled out with the years. A single smile from me was probably enough to tell her how I felt about the change.
Nevertheless, I was curious about what kind of heat did she carry with her. So I peeked over to see her concealed weaponry. Yep, that looked like it would dissuade an assailant alright. I gave an approving nod. Smiling at the thought of the poor fucker who tried to do something to her, only to get a shotty pointed right at their faces.
Then she mentioned being an infiltrator... Basically, a spy or intelligence agent... This gave me pause and made my smile waver a little. I had a good idea of where had Aladriel put those skills to use. She was too young to do so in the great war. So this only left one possible option.
I cursed internally. That was actually one of the topics I liked to avoid as much as I could. Even thinking about it.
I didn’t know much about what transpired in the faunus war. I had my own problems in the city to care about guerrillas and armed conflicts... But even after going into reformation and later joining Haven. I never wanted to know much about it, I liked studying the great war, but the faunus war was... The stupid conflict that my parents left me for. So It was kind of a sore spot for me.
-I guess I can imagine what you are saying. And the context of it... Of when an infiltrator would be needed...- I awkwardly mentioned, trying to convey the fact that I understood what she was hinting about. But that would give her a good starting point to talk more about it, which I definitely didn’t want.
I just... Wasn’t feeling like thinking about what my parents were doing back then in the war. In my mind, I knew dad was probably helping treat the wounded. And mom was a faunus, so she knew how to defend herself during those times. But I hated the concept of imagining them in the background of any tale or recollection of Aladriel’s own experiences.
-Well. On my part, I think some things are better left in the past... It was a hard time for everyone- I finally declared, with a voice almost as low as a whisper... Damn... Why the fuck was I like this? Ruining good moments not only for the others but for myself as well.
Whatever the case. I certainly didn’t want to leave things in such an uncomfortable mood, nor did I want to keep thinking about it if I didn’t have to. So I took it back from Aladriel's last comment, offering her a sultry smile as I tilted my head to a side, interest picked.
-But enough of that for the moment... I don’t know if I believe that last thing you said, you should know that I’m not easy to impress-
So she knew things I never even thought about? Well, allow me to doubt it. At least the part about imagining them... Although, if she could walk the walk, I was more than willing to put her little banter to the test.
Licking my lips. I approached Aladriel, my eyes fixated on her own. Getting closer and closer until our faces were just a couple inches away. I whispered, only for her to hear.
-I’m a student. Always excited to learn new things... Especially with such a stimulating teacher... What about a little... Free lesson for now?-
And with that, I decided to put an end to all of that back and forth. If the woman showed no signs of rejecting my advances, I would go for it and kiss her right there and then. See if she was willing to go all the way. She was super hot and had a cool enough personality as well. So I was not ashamed of trying to hit on this woman who was probably a decade older than me. Age was just a number, right? As long as we are both legal, it’s fair game.

She could tell just what sort of effect she was having on Bianca when her face began to turn red, it's just her effect on most people. When you're as beautiful and as hot as Aladriel Noir, combined with how flirtatious she is constantly, she would make the most reserved and restrained blush. She watched the lizard unbutton her jacket a bit more, which gave her more "insight" into the girl's body. It looked good. Very good. She gave a light chuckle as she ran her finger along the lizard's tail gently. "Curious to just what I could do are we~?" She made another comment before the topic turned to her music.
The choice was Drowning, so she obliged. Pulling her scroll out, she would navigate it's options to find one of her locked folders in it, and pulled up the sound file of Drowning, looking at Bianca and giving a smile along with her best Alexa voice. "Here's Drowning, by Aladriel Noir." Then she hit play and rested the scroll on the grass, whilst she closed her eyes and listened to the song herself, occasionally letting herself take the lyrics and singing over the top of the music. They did keep talking whilst the music played though, and Bianca definitely caught on.
The Faunus War wasn't great for anyone, Aladriel knew that and it seemed Bianca admitted to knowing it too. She gave off a small sigh as she looked up to the sky briefly before back to Bianca. "It's fine, the war wasn't a great time and thinking back makes me realise the many mistakes I made when I was younger. Besides, I'm living my best life right now, as I'm sure you are too, so why would we dwell on the past? Everything we have is right here in the present after all." Aladriel didn't mind talking about the war personally, but she knew a few people that suffered greatly from the war, so she usually kept it close to her chest and only in company she knew didn't mind it. Hell, most of her popstar friends like Hinata and Kimmie didn't know about it either, nor her involvement.
Then Bianca kicked it up a gear, certainly taking the game to a new height that Aly was all too welcoming for. "Not too easily impressed hmm? I'm sure I can change that for you my dear.." She purred as the girl closed the distance slowly, and Aly could see some lust in Bianca's eyes. She knew what was next. "Oh my love, I can be more stimulating than any guy will ever be, and if you're a good girl.." She gave a wondering eye roll before a wicked smirk formed. "You can have as many free lessons as you want~" Then the kiss came, which Aly raised a hand a held Bianca's cheek as they kissed for a few seconds, her breath getting a bit hotter and heavier.
She broke it for a few moments, resting their heads together before she spoke. "I am more than willing to make this last for a lot longer than you could ever imagine, you're playing with fire Bianca, let's see if you can endure it~" Bianca Sabbato Words: 535/2699

I nodded in acceptance when the woman started up the song.
Just as I had expected, the sound was kind of dark and eerie. The atmosphere was almost oniric, and the lyrics reflected the feeling perfectly. I liked it, even despite all of that, the mixing was damn good. And Aladriel’s voice was the perfect fit for it all.
The only thing I disliked a little was how she linked the words. Besides the overarching theme, I found it hard to find a connection between segments. But I take it as a stylistic choice. And I was no lyricist whatsoever after all.
Then we were back into the topic of the war. And were red eyes looked to the sky. Mine were fixated into the ground as I listened to her lethargic words.
-Same... If I could get back in time... I would do things differently... At least as much as I could- I replied, reflecting back on all the things I could change if I got to live a new life... I didn’t know if I could avoid my parent's deaths nor ending up in the streets.
But maybe I could do like Chloro and avoid joining Garrik’s band. Or to leave it as soon as I could. I had the level to attend Sanctum even one or two years early, thanks to a certain motherfucker constantly pushing me to my limits. So if I had been a smart girl, that would have saved me a lot of pain.
But, as Aladriel said. That was now in the past. A possibility that never happened and would never do.
I smiled a bittersweet smile when she mentioned this being our best possible life. Not able to hold my enthusiasm for much longer. If this was the better version of my life... Then what a pathetic life it was.
I dreaded to imagine what the worst version could be... But I did nevertheless. It came easily to me, as I had already lived the worst version of my life, after all.
-...Let’s say it could be worse- I finally managed to joke back, putting on a face of wholeheartedly agreeing with her.
On an intellectual level, I knew her to be right. And I also wanted to look forward. To live in the present and wait for a bright future... But I’m sure even she knew that sometimes it was not easy to do so. Sometimes, the past just keeps rearing its ugly head.
It was like a shadow following you around. You may distract yourself for a second like I was meaning to do with a little help from Aladriel.
Or even for weeks at a time. Like what I did every day when I trained until my body was ready to collapse. But the shadow was always there, waiting for you to lower your guard...
It’s a stain that robs you of the purity of even the best moments. Because you know that the only thing you are doing is running.
Well. I was good at doing that. So I instinctively knew that the safer option was to disregard those thoughts. And just focus my attention on the song playing in the background. And on Aladriel’s lips.
-Boys are icky anyway, I much prefer this- I hastily commented between kissing and regaining my breath. Rearing back for a moment to flash her a toothy smile.
She was good. Really good. On a technical level, she was probably the best kiss of my life. Sadly, it lacked the emotional weight to make it truly memorable for now. Berwyn’s kisses were more sloppy and amateurish, but they hit home harder because she was my... My roommate. A person who shared a lot of moments with me.
Still, I wouldn’t deny I had no intention of disregarding Aladriel’s skills just for something as minor as that. The break of contact left me longing, wanting more of what I just had gotten. Fully welcoming the free lessons my newfound teacher was presenting to me.
I complied and shivered when she issued her challenge. A devilish smile grew over my lips. Yes, I wanted her to push me to my limits, to keep me happy for as long as she could, for as long as I could get in this forsaken life.
-Aladriel... Can’t you tell how eager I am? To be burnt till I am nothing but ashes?- I whispered as I gazed into those deep, red eyes of her. Meaning every word of it, even to extents that the woman may not suspect.
In the meantime, Drowned had already ended, leaving us drenched in silence as I realized there were a little more people walking around than I was comfortable with. Some of them were probably attracted by the small musical show as well.
-I liked the song... By the way. It was beautiful. I’ll be looking forward to when it comes out-
I said with a short chuckle. Staring longingly into the woman's eyes. I had made the first move, now it was her turn to surprise me.

Aladriel could understand the unfortunately statement from the girl about the past. There were things she wished she did differently in the past too. Never enlisting for the war was a big number one, especially after Christmas. She fiddled with that key in her pocket as a constant reminder too. Her life could've been so much more happier if she never left, but it had happened. That was ten years ago. The offer might've been ten years too late, but she accepted the offer with such gratitude that she felt the already burning spark ignite into a bonfire. It brought a small smile to her face each time she rubbed the teeth on the key too.
But it was time to dwell on the present, and clearly a very pleasurable present too. She had a student to teach, and teach she shall. She hummed to herself, her hand idly trailing the scales on Bianca's tail as she looked to the grass before up at the girl with that same devilish smirk. "Oh my dear, you shouldn't ask for such things, you never know just how badly I could burn... but for such a good girl and begging, I'll make sure you'll become ashes~" She leant in, taking her cheek and kissing Bianca again, with much more lustufl vigor. Her hand would trace her tail, gently rubbing and massaging the scales as they kissed, whilst her other hand would hold the girls cheek and chin, as if to almost demand the kiss to remain.
Then, she let go, pulling back and biting her lip with a smile. "I should bring you back home, there your wildest dreams will come true. They don't call me a kink-queen for nothing~" The passerbys might have been starring which made Aladriel even more hot under the collar. She loved attention, and even if they were attracted by the music show or kissing show, she didn't care. It egged her on to do even more, tracing her tail till she reached Bianca's rear, having to lean forward as well then grasping it tight. "There's so many treats you could have~"
With that, and a kiss to her cheek, she pulled back and continued eating her second sandwich, making sure to finish at least two of the three. "Thank you for the pleasure to show you my new works. I had a good time making it so I hope others have a good time listening. Seems to be good so far." Bianca Sabbato Words: 414/3113

I felt a tinge of surprise when Aladriel touched my tail, arching my eyebrows and letting out a small gasp. It was not the first thing someone thought about doing. It wasn’t as if my lovely tail was particularly disgusting or slimy. Or something along those lines.
But even then, girls tended to be wary about it. I often needed a lot of convincing to assure them that it wouldn’t hurt them or something like that. And I knew that with Aladriel being a faunus, it was more likely that she wouldn’t mind, but... But it still was a pleasant surprise.
Although, I wasn’t able to adequately respond to this as the woman shut me up by kissing me with renewed strength. And I could only let myself melt into her arms as I gladly accepted the gesture. Letting her work with my tail as my own hands locked behind her back.
She was good enough considering that she couldn’t have a lot of experience with reptile tails, to begin with. But she was fully able to send waves of shivers down my spine anyway... This woman, who was even she? This infiltrator turned singer. It occurred to me that I wanted to know more about her, about this person known to me as Aladriel Noir.
I left out a soft moan when the woman’s hand clenched on my behind. Leaning forwards onto her, I planted a kiss on her collarbone to return the gesture in kind. And also to silence me from making such inappropriate sounds in public with so many eyes around.
I was afraid I would stop thinking straight if Aladriel kept going, so it was a relief when she finally pulled back. Now only my heavy breathing was a telltale sign of what had just transpired.
But I still wanted more, more pleasure, more relief, and distraction. I wanted to be the most paramount person in my life for at least a night. To feel like I mattered and like I deserved to have a good time as well.
I didn’t know how long it would last. But I planned on exploiting the feeling while it did.
-I’d... I’d like that- I whispered at her words, parting back a little, now much more mindful of the curious glances sent in our direction from the nearby residents... And I have to admit it made me a little anxious.
I was, after all, a Haven student in my uniform. And people liked to talk, in this day and age, people used to film as well. And we had been getting much more trouble lately. And more blows to our credibility than what our reputation could withstand.
I could imagine some tabloids and internet memes right now. About what the Haven students were doing. Getting all hot and bothered in a public park instead of training to save to world. Or patrolling the streets in search of crimes.
And I knew that this was unfair, after all, a huntress made a lot of bows in her life... And none of those were of chastity. But I also knew how much people expected from us to the point of forgetting that in the end, we are just people like anyone else.
And I was desperate to disconnect myself from all of that for a little while. To let myself be entrapped and my emotions flow wild and free, at least for a single night... I wanted it... And I was going to get it now...
-The pleasure is all mine... I wouldn’t mind listening to your other songs. Especially if they are as good as this one. But... You know...- I began saying, taking a small look at our surroundings and idly rubbing my hand over the soft yet cold grass under our feet.
-We could probably find a more comfortable place to do so... I think you mentioned your home a minute ago?- I called out, feigning innocence as I looked at Aladriel with a telling smirk, finishing my own refreshment in short order.
-We could probably do that at your place... And, who knows? Maybe we will have some spare time to do some... Other things... It may surprise you the things a huntress can do when properly motivated-
I offered at last. Things were looking like they could only go a certain way from this point on. Or at least I hoped this was the case. Leaving the flowery talk aside, I was pretty damn ready to get down to business. Not gonna lie. If this was just us playing the flirting game without reaching a conclusion. I would probably just bang my head against a tree to forget this whole ordeal happened.
But judging from Aladriel’s expression. I had a hunch I was on the right track with this one.

It clearly didn't take too much persuasion to get Bianca on board with the night of passion, so she gave a wide smile, one that displayed content but a wicked lust beneath. The student really didn't know what was in store for her, and Aladriel was happy to oblige with a lesson or two. She could sense the anxiety in Bianca as of now, as the uniform was as clear as day and the passerbys would spread rumours. Aly could make said rumours disappear if need be, she was very good as using her wild charm to get her way. She knew it, others knew it but never minded as they always were satisfied. "Well, I'm sure the studio won't mind me taking a day off. I have been working to the bone as of late.. give me one moment." She gave a wink as she pulled out her scroll and dialed in a number.
The receptionist answers with a spritely "Good afternoon, this is Ellie speaking, how may I help?" "Good afternoon dear! It's Aly here, can you let the producers know that I'll be taking the rest of the day off, something I've eaten hasn't agreed with me and I need to let it settle before I can continue with the next song. Thank you beautiful!" The spritely teenager would speak back through the scroll. "Yep that sounds all good! Hope it settles soon, have a good afternoon ma'am!" "You too dear!" She hung up the scroll before picking herself up off the floor, looking down to Bianca with a smile. "Well my beautiful friend, shall we?"
She held out her hand for Bianca to take, and they would head back to the car she had parked by the entrance of the park, a deep purple muscle car, something you'd find out of a racing film essentially. She would open the passenger door to let Bianca in, before she moved to the other side and climbed into the driver's seat, starting up the beastly engine that roared into ignition. Taking her shades from her shirt and putting them on, a quick check of herself in the mirror and she took off to her home. "So Bianca, hit me with whatever strange fantasies you've dreamt of? Might be able to fulfill some tonight~" Bianca Sabbato Words: 384/3497

Alright, this was not a drill anymore. Shit was really hitting the floor.
At the back of my mind, I wished my training hadn’t let me so tired already. Since if Aly was meaning to fulfill her promises, I figured out I would need all the energy I could muster... But, in the end, I was sure that she would find more than one way to motivate me through it all.
Holy shit... This was really happening, and not in a dream. I was going to spend the night with a superstar. And she was not only pretty but she also had a kickass personality... How fucking cool was that! This was certainly one to remember on my death bed, or when inevitably some grimm or deranged criminal got the better of me.
Resisting the juvenile urge to fistbump the heavens themselves. I listened with excitement how she called her agency and reserved the whole night for ourselves, my tail swishing side to side in a gesture I was still trying to suppress, but that sometimes simply happened.
Pulling out my own scroll. I sent a quick message to the academy. Explaining that I would spend the night in the city due to personal business. That way no one would freak out when they found me missing... I thought about sending a message to Berwyn, but...
I... Dunno... I didn’t think she would mind, we weren’t exactly going out as a couple. At least not all the way in. As far as I knew, we were just two friends who messed around and were more touchy-feely than the rest... But still. I was unsure if sending her a message as well would be wise...
In the end. I didn’t want to hide things from her. She told me herself, that for her love meant physical attraction... And I preferred to leave it that way. This was just fun, just like that. No need to get confusing feelings involved in it.
It’s always easier when you leave those pesky things out... If you don’t expect a lot from people in the first place. You are less liable to be disappointed, as it tended to happen. From Aladriel? I expected fun and depravity, maybe a good conversation, and we could become acquaintances afterward. And that was about it.
I sent her a message as well. Simple and concise. I would be out for the night and figured she was smart enough to realize why. But I would return in the morning or afternoon. Now with all of my bases covered, I turned my attention towards the main attraction of the night.
-Lead the way, please- I said doing a mock courtesy bow, winking at her as I started putting away my violin on its case, and made my way towards the vehicle, happy to be away from the curious glances from the outside world.
I ran my hand over the smooth surface of the powerful muscle car. It was almost as sexy as Aladriel herself, and I didn’t even like cars that much anyway. But I was not blind as to not see the appeal of this powerful carriage.
Gracefully accepting Aly’s invitation, I slipped in with a small nod. Softly smiling all the way as Aladriel turned more than merely the engine on. Her question was one to be considered... We really had all the night to ourselves, after all. So I didn’t mind giving it a minute of consideration before taking out my scroll.
On it, I searched for one of Aladriel’s live presentations. Yep, right there, I knew I remembered seeing something like that before, with a wicked smile on my face, I turned the device back to Aladriel, displaying now a scene of herself in a scenario, multiple clones of her performing different dances and acts for the public.
-Well... I’m sure we will come up with many fun things to do tonight...- My smile only grew further, as I notice realization slowly dawning on the woman’s face. -But I think I may have a couple ideas already...-
This was a day entirely for me. I doubted I deserved it, to be honest. But I knew something very well, I wanted it, badly. And that, in and out of itself, has to have some value as well. No need to go into the sordid details of what came next, I think we all know what happened.
The only thing I can assure you. Is that I, for once, didn’t regret this decisión.
