Sophia was still chatting with Ari, and Anna had basically beco the sole topic. Not only had the blonde the feeling that the princess had fallen for the jaguar, as well, but it also seed like Maya was also helping Anna out with her approaches. From the sound of it, she was behaving exactly like the cat when she was going after Sophia, after all.
“Yep, I really think Anna might be actually interested in you~.” Sophia made a short recap on her evaluation of the situation around the princess.
“T-There’s just no way that could be the case… N-No way…” Ari couldn’t believe her.
“Why not?”
“Because she’s the first princess of this nation! Do you have any idea how many choices other than she has!? Why would she ignore all of them to choose instead?”
“Err…” The blonde didn’t know where to start. “You’re her childhood friend. In other words, you’re her oldest and best friend. The person she’s the closest with. She’s absolutely comfortable around you, and it’s obvious that she enjoys your company. She likes to cling to you, touch you, and is generally all over you. She ntioned multiple tis how much she loves your personality and I, myself, have to heartily agree with that because I love spending ti with you, too.” She showed no signs of stopping.
“…” The jaguar could only try to keep her blush in check.
“Also, even if we dumb it down to looks only, what other options would she have that could compete with you? Maya’s taken by , and you’re the most stunning girl I t after her.” Sophia was a big fan of the girl, but her priorities were still crystal clear. “You didn’t like your hair for the most ti, but everyone else, first and foremost, the princess, is really into them. The deep black with the shiny yellow accents and the pattern is beyond amazing, especially when combined with your yellow eyes that perfectly accentuate it. You hit the jackpot with that combination. Your fluffy tail that’s on the thicker side makes super jealous, too! Your figure is great, too! Unless Anna’s into the big type, you should have no problems there, either! Seeing how she went after , who’s very similar to you in that area, for a while, your chances should be excellent!”
“Uuhh…” Steam seed to be rising from Ari’s beet-red head. Sophia praising her so openly made the jaguar very bashful.
“Any objections?”
“…” She needed a mont. “D-Do… Do you really think… think that she l-likes …?”
“I think so, yes. Though… there’s no way I can be sure there…” Sophia didn’t want to make any promises. “She’s doing the exact sa Maya did around , but my sample size isn’t big enough to make any absolute statents… Sorry.”
“I-I see…” Ari hung her head. “W-What should I do now…? It would be amazing if she really l-likes the sa way I like her, but… but…”
“But?”
“Can I risk ruining our literal life-long friendship to find out how she f-feels about …?”
“Ah.” The tiger wasn’t sure how to reply to sothing like that. “T-There’s just no way I could decide that for you…”
“I know… Still… what is your suggestion? What… What would you do in my situation?” Ari wanted to get as many tips as possible.
“I’m no help with that. I’d turn into a blushing and embarrassed ss that has no idea what to do. I’d freak out to no end and ss up wherever I could possibly ss up… Again, sorry.”
“Urgh…”
“You know, when Maya started going after , I regularly turned into a ss, too. No, long before that already. Since the day we t, actually. I’ve had no friends for the longest ti, and my experience with romance was basically negative…”
“O-Okay…?” While Ari looked like she was sorry for her, she wasn’t exactly sure where the tiger was going with her story in this situation.
“Even soone like was able to get used to her advances. To so degree, at least. I know that you’re shy, too, Ari, but I’m sure you can get used to her clinginess.”
“P-Probably, yes, but… How is that going to help?” The jaguar was confused.
“Try to get comfortable with her way of doing things and return the favor. That’s what I did… Every once in a while, I managed to get bold enough and got closer to Maya, as well. It took a ton of courage, but I eventually had a lot of fun going back and forth with her while playfully flirting a ton. Sure, I was still an embarrassed ss most of the ti, but I enjoyed it.”
“I-Is that how it works…? So, long story short, I should get bold myself…?”
“More or less, yep.” Sophia nodded at her question. “It worked out for .”
“Uuh… That’s going to be embarrassing…”
“Yep.” She gave her an even bigger nod. “It’ll take a lot of effort, but I think it’s worth it. You can get closer to her without risking your current relationship. You aren’t doing anything she isn’t already doing, after all. If you’re lucky, she eventually explodes over all the affection she receives and confesses to you out of nowhere.”
“T-That sounds oddly specific…”
“That’s what Maya did.”
“Ahh…”
“Alrighty~! Good luck with going on the attack!”
“E-Eh?! It’s already decided?!” Ari’s eyes grew wide in shock. “I-I’m not ready for that yet!”
“Why not? You love her, right?”
“Y-Yes.”
“You want her, right?”
“T-To be mine, yes…”
“That’s why, let’s a go!”
“S-So pushy…” The jaguar wasn’t sure how to feel about that side of Sophia.
“I would’ve loved a friend to push along because I was behaving like an idiot around Maya for the longest ti. Well, I still behave like that, but that’s a different story…”
“N-No, I am grateful! I really am!” Ari started panicking. “It’s just that it’s a lot for to do…”
“Understandable. I would’ve complained a lot in that situation, as well.” She couldn’t bla her. “It’s not like you have to do it, either, but that’s my suggestion.”
“Y-Yes…” The black-haired girl paused for a mont. “What… What would you suggest to do…? H-How should I show my a-affection for her…?”
“Do the sa thing she does.” Sophia made it sound easy. “She wants to sleep in the sa bed as you? Suggest it yourself before she has the chance to. Even better, simply go to her room in the evening. Invite her over to yours. She wants to cling to you or hold your hands? Grab her hand the mont she looks at you while you’re walking around. Stick close to her and get more into her personal space to get a reaction. Get cuddly while you're studying... Just be annoyingly flirty. Though, my personal recomndation is sothing else.”
“A-Annoyingly flirty…?” Ari didn’t like the sound of that too much. “Wait, what is your recomndation?”
“Lap pillows! Give one, receive one, it doesn’t matter. They’re the best thing in the world. Get Anna on your lap, and she’ll be yours~.” Sophia really liked them a lot. “Okay, it’s maybe not that easy, but still… do it! Bonus points for doing it in the evening after just having co out of the bath, still all warm and in your pajamas, while relaxing on the sofa.”
“O-Okay.” The jaguar was a bit overwheld. “Well, it does sound lovely, so it might be worth a try. Although…” Her face suddenly turned even redder for so reason.
“Although?”
“I think I’d prefer to lie on Anna’s l-lap… Her legs are really… Thighs especially…” Her voice trailed off towards the end.
“Oh my god, yes!” Sophia’s eyes started sparkling. “I love your taste. You are right, the princess is on a league on her own when it cos to those. That tall tiger of yours really has that going for her. Maya’s thighs are already super soft and comfy, and I bet you’ll be in heaven, too, if you can take a nap on her lap~.”
“Soone’s into legs?” Ari only looked at her.
“You have no idea.” The blonde had no intention to hide it.
“I can’t bla you.” Ari nodded in understanding. “I’m not sure if I prefer them over a nice chest, but I definitely appreciate them a lot.”
“Good thing you don’t have to choose with Anna, huh? She’s been blessed with both, after all.”
“Yes.” She didn’t hesitate.
“You sure can be frank.”
“C-Can you bla ?”
“No.” Sophia thought about the princess for a mont. “Not at all. Well, I am fortunate with my Maya, too, after all.”
“Absolutely. She’s a great catch.”
“Ehehe~.” She sounded strangely proud. “It’s great to be lucky, huh?”
“Well… I first have to get l-lucky, though…” As Anna wasn’t hers, at the mont, the jaguar still had so work to do in that regard.
“A-Ah…” The tiger awkwardly scratched her cheek. “W-We’ll get there! Also, the first thing we’re going to do then is to have a double date, so get ready for that! After that, the four of us will hibernate through the winter in front of the fireplace in our mansion. All huddled up and comfortably cuddling with our girlfriends!”
“I-I like the sound of that…” Ari showed her a small smile.
“Alrighty!” Sophia sounded motivated. “Let’s get the operation going!”
“Y-Yes!” The jaguar clumsily raised her fist to imitate the blonde.
“Perfect!”
“Soo… The bottom line for everything… I should try to go on the o-offensive myself? Imitate what Anna does, but also not overdoing it to make her suspicious of my intentions? Going as far as she goes should be safe, after all, but doing more could ruin what we already have…”
“I honestly think you could go further, but yes, that’s the best approach for now.” Sophia agreed with the plan.
“O-Okay, I’ll try my best! T-Thank you very much, Sophia.”
“No problem! I’m glad to help.” The tiger seed to be in an excellent mood. “I’ve always wanted to have this type of girls-talk with a friend! I’m so happy that I finally have the chance! Y-You and maybe Anna are my first actual friends… I an, one I’m not dating, and also look the sa as I do, as you’re not a wolf, so I want to make sure everything works out!”
“T-Thank you…” Ari wasn’t sure how to react to that bit of information. “Yes… I also enjoy chatting with you a whole lot! Girls-talk with Anna is kinda complicated, but with you, it’s a bunch of fun!”
“Ehehe~.” Sophia’s mood improved even more.
Afterward, the duo kept chatting for a while longer, and a lot of ti had passed since the two t up. In the afternoon, they decided to go looking for their girls because Sophia and Ari felt like their training with Eluna should be over soon.
