Beach
Now, let it be known that Jax was not a vain person. That being said, he
had been working out, and honestly, the tail was definitely
not compensating for something. He was confident with his body. That wasn't the issue.
BUT... being nude around his coworkers was possibly the most embarassing, surreal experience he'd ever had. In Nepleslia, he'd have been fired already. The sharp contrast with Yamatai sent his mind spinning. The situation was made worse by the arrival of Freyja. But, not knowing what else to do, he simply stayed put and tried not to jet off into the sky in panic.
A few moments later, he was completely nude. Instinctively, his tail wrapped around his waist to hide his extremities. He'd been slowly getting used to casual nudity, but this was too much, too fast! However, he wasn't too embarrassed to notice Tsuguka's "appraisal". He inwardly smirked and gave her a small wink.
Then, he about fainted. His superior officer appeared.
Camp Fire
"I'll help out with this part of the operation" she said, her red eyes glancing at the blond engineer, "If I can be up for the next round?" she asked him with a sly smile crossing her lips.
'
Fuck you, Wazu!' Jax snarled internally, his ears pinning back dangerously. But as he was standing in front of the woman he
saluted on a daily basis, he winced and, not knowing what else to do, saluted, all the while looking as if he were about to die.
"Yes, ma'am." he muttered shakily. He was going to hate this. Afterwards, he might need to grab some more hallucinogenic wine, then go back to that college dorm and strangle his creator. First, he needed to survive this dare, then blow Wazu to bits with his RPG.
Wait, what RPG? He didn't bring an RPG!
So, here he was, naked as the day he was born, surrounded by his peers, in total silence, with only the sound of the crackling fire to fill the awkward silence. Damn, he had to do something. So, he fell back on his signature coping mechanism: humor!
"Soooo... uh..." he mumbled, pausing to fake a cough into his fist. "If uh... anyone sees something they like...
don't hesitate to speak up!"
