Be A Model! [Job]

With all the running around towns and industrial zones, Leila was happy to be back in the nature. The sun was high up in the sky, indicating that it was around lunch time. Leaves of the trees were rustling in the wind, their green color creating a beautiful scene. With a smile, Leila swiftly removed her boots, allowing herself to feel the lush, green grass that was now caressing her skin. Around her, Ori was running as well. The little furball was mostly hidden when she visited any populated places, but here he had the option to move around freely and as much as he wanted. Finally he jumped into Leila's arms, basically begging her for some grooming. She only nodded and seated herself at the trunk of nearby tree. "Don't forget that we're her for a reason." She reminded the little creature before petting him. Indeed, she wasn't here just to enjoy the beauty of nature. She had applied for a role of a model. And a model for a rather popular magazine, none the less. Normally, she wouldn't do this sort of job, especially since she knew that this magazine always showed pictures of girls that showed more skin than one normally would. But the theme intrigued her. In fact, she was so excited that she arrived much earlier that she was supposed to. Hence why she was now just enjoying herself. "We still have some time..." She spoke to Ori, letting him jump out of her embrace and back to the ground. Watching him run around, playfully playing with leaves and fallen branches was enough to keep her entertained. And once an hour passed, it was finally time.

In a clearing nearby, her employer already started setting up the scene. A green rug on the grass, seemingly tailored from natural materials. A small changing booth on the side. And several photographers and light holders. Leila gestured Ori to hide somewhere near as they approached the scene. Slightly nervous, she approached them from the forest. "G..greetings. Name's Leila Vergious and I'm here fo-" "Yes, yes!" She didn't even finish as her employer started talking in much louder voice. "Strange silver hair, fairly slim body, odd marking on the skin... yes, it is you. Yes, you will have to do, I suppose." His last remark managed to send Leila's confidence down a few notches, but she braced herself and nodded. The man pointed at several outfits that were on a small wooden table next to the changing booth. They were all tailored from leaves or similar materials. Which didn't exactly made them look sturdy, slightly worrying her that they might fall apart during the photoshoot. But she had little choice now. She grabbed the first thing on the table and went to change.

Her first outfit was quite elegant. A long skirt made out of leaves, a blouse made in the same style and a crown of flowers. Nothing too bad about this, with the exception of the rather large cleavage. Even posing wasn't all that bad. Simply showing a pose that a noble would have, laying down and looking into the sky and bending forward a little. Clicking of all those camera did make Leila a bit embarrassed, but she was enjoying it too. Her next outfit was a short skirt, barely covering her undergarments and a halterneck. The green cloth was reminiscent of silk but felt slightly different. And of course, with this kind of outfit, she had to perform mainly poses that involved her kneeling and bending in ways that allowed convenient slip-ups. Everything to please the fans was clearly their motto. Leila's face was now slowly shifting from pale to bright red. She sighed slightly as the second outfit was finally done, but the employer didn't give her a moment of rest. She was to change to the final outfit. And now, her face was more like a tomato. What she had to wear was basically bikini made out of leaves. Was this really a work of someone famous? She slowly changed and left the booth, her body jittering as she tried to avoid any eye contact. "Perfect!" That sudden shout made her jump a little. "That mixture of embarrassed innocence and daring lust! It is simply perfect!" She didn't even have time to properly pose and all the cameras were going off, catching her off guard. And in several minutes, it was all over. "The sun is no longer providing us with a perfect lighting, I am afraid. This will have to do for today." Was what the employer told Leila, who was laying on the ground, her mental state completely and utterly exhausted. But at least she did get her pay. Once everyone was gone, Ori seated himself on her shoulder as she tried to pick herself up. In the end, she mostly enjoyed that whole ordeal. And she tried something new, that was always good. Who knows, maybe there is a modelling career waiting for her in the future. Probably not. "Aah, what a shame too. Those outfits were actually really nice. Kinda wish I could keep one of them." She smiled at Ori, who was watching it all from a nearby tree. And with that, they left the clearing for their next little journey.
