After the coast was clear, Rya ran into the bathroom in a hurry. Once she entered, she clumsily closed the door behind her and leaned against it. Her legs felt a little shaky as she slid her back down the wooden door, sitting down on the cold stone floor. She looked around the bathroom and saw a toilet in the corner, a Fae-Bath against the wall, a mirror above a sink, and a wooden chair near the Fae-Bath.
'Dammit! I almost got caught!... And Dalia is going to regret making me fantasize about Quin. That was so embarrassing. Ugh... I'm getting the shivers just thinking about... Quin... Grrr! This isn't me! Yeah! It must have also been the fault of those two foul goddesses!... They must be trying to break me mentally or something! Yeah, that's it! A-And it's not going to work!... Hah! Good one, me!... Now then... I need to clean myself. This is so embarrassing.' Rya thought as she tried to ignore the itch in her pussy while her heart pounded.
She let out a sigh and looked down between her legs to see a damp spot on her pants.
'S-Shit... That's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me! I came... twice... and in front of people no less! Ugh. I hope they didn't notice... Haah... I can't focus on that when I need to clean myself.' Rya thought as she pulled off her boots and set them aside. Then she reached for the strings of her pants and slowly untied them. She felt nervous about undressing when her body was so sensitive.
Rya stood up and pulled down her pants, revealing a wet stain on her underwear. 'Oh God, that's disgusting. Haah. How can a woman's body be so weird? Why do we even get wet? It's not fair.' She thought as she took off her panties.
Once she removed her shirt, she began to examine the Fae-Bath.
'Okay, just use a bit of mana on the crystal, and some warm water should come out... This should be easy... Then I'll just clean myself up, and I'll be able to get dressed and meet everyone for breakfast.' Rya told herself as she looked at her well-endowed, voluptuous, tanned, naked, elven body in the mirror.
'Why am I embarrassed? I know it's weird that I've been turned into a woman now, for like, two weeks. But why am I starting to think different thoughts?... This isn't normal, right?... I know I'm still me! But something feels different... No, Ryan!... This is nothing but a trick that is being played on you by that foul Goddess, Nils. She is probably laughing at me as I speak... That goddess can't change me as long as I know that I am a man... B-But why does it pain me to say that?... Is it because I like looking at myself?... Y-Yeah... That's the reason... It's going to be a shame to get rid of this amazing body. I wonder if all Elven women are built like me?' Rya thought to herself as a little blush appeared on her cheeks.
While the Dark Elf was busy looking at her reflection, she heard the water spilling out over the side of the bathtub.
'Shit! Come on, Ryan! What are you thinking about right now? Focus! You're wasting time. Quickly, hurry up and get cleaned.' Rya thought to herself as she stopped the water from flowing into the tub.
"Haah... Way to make a mess, Ryan," Rya said to herself as she tried to clean up the water, but didn't know what she could use to soak it up, and she didn't want to use her only towel.
"Damn it!" Rya said out loud, "If only I was a water mage... I bet I could get this mess cleaned up without breaking a sweat," Rya told herself.
After failing to come up with anything useful, Rya looked at the puddle of water, and her instincts were telling her something. She didn't know why, but she thought she felt a connection to the water.
'Why does it feel like this puddle is calling out to me?' Rya wondered.
Rya kneeled on the ground and stuck her right index finger into the water. She started swirling her finger around as her mana began to flow out and mix with the water.
"Huh? I-I can feel a connection! Oh wow! This is amazing! It's like controlling earth, but not? Okay, you got this, Ryan." Rya said as she began moving the water with her mana.
Rya was controlling the water the same way she would be manipulating dirt or rock with earth magic. But it wasn't the same as moving earth. When she used her dark earth magic, she needed to be strong and rigid. Whereas using her mana within the water, she needed to be fluid and relaxed, but not too much, or the connection with the water would break.
Rya could feel that her mana's connection was beginning to break, which meant her control of the water would stop, so she quickly lifted the water and threw it into the sink.
"Hmm... Not bad for a first go... But I need to practice some more before I am comfortable using it in a battle situation... I wonder if I had a spellbook, could I learn to cast some awesome water magic?... That would be sweet... But for now, I guess I'll keep practicing by manipulating water for now," Rya said to herself as she continued to practice her newfound ability for another 5 to 10 minutes while cleaning herself.
"Okay. I should get dressed and meet up with the others." Rya said to herself as she began putting on her new clothes.
She was wearing her usual black clothing, but her underwear was pink today. It took some practice, but after a few days of trying, she was finally able to put on a bra all by herself. She really started to enjoy how the material of the bras felt against her skin. Not that she had much to compare it to, but she didn't want to wear a bandage around her chest again. Her black pants, which used to be baggy, were now form-fitting and showed off her womanly curves after her last "Growth Spurt," and her new underwear was hugging her ass so well that it looked like a bubble butt. Her new black long-sleeved blouse was made of a nice, smooth material and fit her perfectly, hugging her curves in all the right places. The only thing that used to bug her was how much this blouse showed off her cleavage. She tried to button it up all the way, but it looked like she was smuggling two basketballs, so she settled on keeping the first three buttons undone. She felt a strange sense of pride when she saw how good she looked in the mirror.
'Haah... Why can't I button up my shirt more than two buttons? Ugh. This is so uncomfortable. My blouse is trying to suffocate my chest... M-Maybe I should unbutton it a bit?... J-Just so I can breathe easier. I have no other choice. I'm not doing this to show off or anything... I'm definitely not trying to get Quin's attention or anything like that! Yeah, no way! That's not what I'm doing. This is just more comfortable, that's all.' Rya was trying to rationalize her choice as she unbuttoned a fourth button and turned to the side while moving her hands underneath her breasts to give her boobs a better lift and push them together. The cups of her pink bra were peeking out from the top of her black blouse, giving off a nice contrast.
'U-Uh, y-yeah. Th-This is good!... Hehe. I-I mean. It's fine... But I hope Quin doesn't stare at me too much. I-I don't want him to get the wrong idea, that's all!... It's just a bit better this way, so I can breathe... It's not good if I can't breathe. Plus, I'm a man after all! And I totally don't swing that way!... Yeah! That's it! There's no other reason why I'm doing this!... Okay!... And I just gotta stay calm, I don't want him to notice anything suspicious about me, like how I look or how good I smell, or how my nipples are poking through the fabric of my blouse and bra, or how my breasts look like they want to escape the confines of my blouse... Agh?... Y-Yeah! Everything will be okay... I hope...' Rya thought to herself as she started to fidget with her outfit.
"Haah. This is so embarrassing... I'm acting like a teen... Just finish up, Ryan," Rya said to herself, so she stopped wasting time.
Now that her clothes were fine, she moved on to her hair. She made sure to keep her long white hair tied up in a bun so her bangs wouldn't fall in her face. Then, once her hair was done, she put on her dark cloak that had a hood so she could pull it up if she didn't want to be noticed. Unfortunately, she needed to have it up to hide her ears. Since she was an Elf in the human, dwarf kingdom, it could be dangerous for her to walk around as is.
'Haah... After all that work, I'm covering it up in this damn cloak... I-I mean!... It's for the best! Yeah, no reason to take a chance.' Rya thought as she looked around the bathroom, noticing her dirty clothes. She packed them into her backpack and got ready for breakfast.
