That was small consolation to Kaname at the moment.
As she slipped along the corridors, she found herself reaching down to her skirt to keep it from riding up. There was certainly no way that it could rise up far enough to be a real hassle, but she wasn't about to take that chance. Repeatedly, she found her hands going to either smooth out the fabric over her bottom, tug down the hem, or do both at the same time.
Of course, this didn't come from any dislike of the skirt itself. Actually, she rather liked how she looked in those sorts of garments, as she thought that she appeared attractive in them. She'd never had any real problem with her body, and showing it off had never caused her much concern, since any persistent lech could be handled by a quick right jab, or a knee to the crotch.
Her reason for being nervous was legitimate though, and she crept over to her cabin with an exaggerated sense of concern. Clearly she would have reduced any special ops agent to sighing and head shaking, but she wasn't trying to infiltrate anything. Rather, she was merely looking for a moment to freshen up, and change into her duty uniform.
As her finger was just about to touch the button that would open the door to her cabin... a very familiar voice rang out from behind her. "Kaname! Hi!"
"Kyoko...." Kaname murmured with a sickly smile that gained a tremble as she spotted more friends behind the speaker. "How nice to see you.... What are you doing here?"
"I've come to walk with you, silly! We do it all the time, remember?"
"We... oh, right, we do. But... I'm not ready yet. Not dressed properly, as you can see."
For a moment, Kyoko seemed to be a bit lost... until she took note of something the blue haired girl said. "Wait a minute.... Kaname, isn't that the outfit that you were wearing last night?"
"Um...."
"You weren't out with a boy all night, now were you?"
The sound that passed by Kaname's lips was an odd combination of panicked shriek, and strangled squeak.
"Oh, ho.... How interesting. Could it be true?"
"Actually...."
"There's one way to find out! And all that we have to do is... THIS!" Kyoko declared, grinning as she flipped her friend's skirt... until she noticed the absence of something that should have been under there. Then she simply stared.
Leaning back towards the door, Kaname stared at the group of her friends.
Those same friends were currently looking at where they had gotten a peek at a sight many boys would have liked to see.
That got the blue haired girl laughing nervously.
Her friends made no sound as they turned their gazes up above her waist to stare into her eyes.
"This is.... I can explain this!" Kaname yelped.
Kyoko's eyes were wide with surprise as she looked at the other girl. "You can?"
"I can! It's a long story, really. Sort of.... I was kind of too busy...."
"Eh?"
"It's not like I meant for anything to happen?"
"Oh."
"I... uh.... Nothing illegal happened...."
"Then what did?" Kyoko asked.
"Well, there is a reason, that I am sure of...."
"Not wearing panties?"
"You don't have to say it! I know that's the case!"
"Then what are you trying to tell us...."
Kaname tried to not whimper as she contemplated how she would explain this one to her friends.
Leading from behind had never been something that appealed to Tessa, as it smacked of laziness, and despite not being a forceful person, she couldn't just see any real logic in it. To her, the best way to do things was to be there with her subordinates, and she was pleased to do so. Certainly, there were those took her age, or the fact that she was an attractive young woman, as reasons to cause trouble, but most saw her work ethic and caring as reason to respect her. And those who still caused problems could be transferred soon enough.
Due to that affection that her workers had for her, she didn't get much of a reaction when she showed up just a bit late. It rankled that she'd had to come in behind schedule, but the fact was that she'd needed the time to clean herself up, and get dressed appropriately. Not that she was particularly troubled about what she'd done in Mister Sagara's room, but she didn't want to flash just anyone around her.
"Report," she said in a clear voice.
"Still tracking the unknown," one of the operators responded.
Another subordinate glanced up at the commanding officer. "Data coming in, and some already prepared for your viewing."
"Good," the silver haired girl told them. "Show me."
Information came up on the screen, and Tessa worked on trying to figure out what was going on. Her mind was already working quickly on her current issues, as she wasn't terribly bothered by what had happened the previous night. About the only carry over from the earlier enjoyment was a headache that she was sure that she would need Melissa to help her learn how to deal with a hangover.
As it was, she did have to admit that she'd feel sorry for anyone caught outside of 'approved places while not having panties on, while:
