Ariane took a deep breathe, and moved her right leg first forward. Then the left one. It was still kinda wobbly but not as bad as before. She smiled when seeing that it was seemly going well.
Ariane looked, now noticing the anklet. Was that the same as the tail-pearls? Must be, she thought. "Thank you," she replied. Both she and Nilima bought theirs during a trip to Watalina some years ago.
"I guess they feels alright," Nilima replied, as she slowly let go of the rock to see if she could stand without support. From the look of it, it seemed like it worked. She was holding her breathe though, pondering about her next move.
"Same here," Ariane said smiling. They didn't hurt or anything, which was a huge relief.
"I'm gonna try," Nilima said. In all honestly, her heart was beating fast due to her being worried of tripping. She stood still for a moment, before she carefully started to move.
Ariane smiled at the compliment. "Thanks," she said with a light blush.
Nilima was quiet, not too sure how to reply. It was kinda weird being complimented for their tails and legs. 'Focus on staying steady,' she thought to herself.
