strangetrip | [For Carlos, Dorian, and Molly] Take chances, make mistakes, get messy

Corbie really didn’t know what she thought about this.

She had been making a shift into more modern clothing over the period of months she’d been here, because really, it wasn’t like she had much of a choice. It was all that was on offer, and the gray dress she’d come through in could only be worn so often. The undergarments were the hardest part, really, because they were right next to her skin, and that took a long time to get used to.

This? Was a leap of a different kind.

She stared at herself in the mirror in a pair of jeans, trying to reconcile the sight with the sensation. She’d never worn pants before, and it felt… different. Not as bad as she’d though, but different. Her legs were still covered, so maybe Gran wouldn’t disown her. She’d have to hem them, they were a little long on her legs, but today rolling them would do. She’d already done this. If she took them off and saved them for “later,” it might be weeks before she was brave enough to try again. Best get it over with now.

Best get it over with now.

While she was at it, she may as well get some other things done. After all, worst that could happen was she’d be right where she started at the end of the day. And if she was awkwardly dealing with people, she wouldn’t be thinking about the fabric tubes on her legs.

Corbie squealed.

And then covered her mouth with her hands and turned bright pink, but the urge to jump up and down was still there and barely restrained.

That was rather darling, all told. "Do what you need to do, my dear. I swear to the Maker I won't hold it against you."

Even with that assurance, Corbie hesitated. But as she couldn't keep it in for very long, soon she was bouncing up and down and squealing like a girl half her age. "EEEEE!"

After a moment she smiled sheepishly and got herself back under control. "I'm done." She couldn't quite stop grinning, though.

Dorian had to laugh. Magic was so often treated s serious business, which... it was, at times. But it was also a gift, and a joy, and could be amazingly fun. It was beyond a pleasure to think and see that Corbie already knew that. "Do let me know if the urge recurs!"

Corbie ducked her head. "I imagine it probably will."
