Abyssal... what?

"[Abyssal Tendrils]"

Uh, thanks.

That sounds scary.
But...
I kinda don't feel any different.
Did anything really happen?

Alright, let's try it out.
I'm just going to ignore the Abyssal part for now but tendrils sounds like I could use it to lick something up.
And since it's my policy never to waste a good opportunity...
Here I go.

...

Concentrate...

Contentrate....

And...

I can feel it.

There's something like a tongue in my mouth.
It's not exactly a tongue since it feels much more wriggly but it's close enough.

Despite only having been in this body for a few hours to me it seems like it's been ages since I've been able to move any part of my body.
As such it's pretty hard moving my new 'tongue' even a tiny bit.

But after a few moments of wriggling I manage to bring it far enough forward to reach the seam of black thread that makes up my mouth.
Yes, I know that a thread is not an orifice, but somehow it feels like it's going to work...

...And it does.
At least a bit. I only manage to push the tendril out of my mouth a teensy length, probably about a millimeter, but that's enough for now.

Let's taste some little girl flavored bathwater!

A single drop of water falls down from my snout and onto my new tongue.

It tastes like soap.
What did I expect, really?

It's the experience that counts, okay?

...

Wait...
I may have done something stupid just now.

If Lia sees her teddy bear suddenly sporting a tongue, she's going to burn me and call an exorcist to purify the ashes, isn't she?

Ready to accept my face I look over to her...
But she doesn't seem concerned?

She's happily washing herself, rubbing her arms with a bar of soap.
Her supple skin is being squished in where she presses down on it, exemplifying her softness.
Most of her chest is covered in bubbles but underneath I can still spy the pink color of her cute nipples.
Ehehehehehe.
It's a sight to behold.

She stops and looks at me.

Oh snap.
I forgot the situation I'm in.
At least after this she must have seen it.
I can't bear to have my Lia be scared of me.

But... instead of seeming surprised or anything she just smiles before talking to me.
"What is Mr. Bear worried about?" She asks.
"Lia still likes Mr. Bear even if he is a pervert, so Mr. bear should cheer up, okay?"

What an angel!

Does she maybe...
...Not see it?
That must be it, it's the only explanation.
Otherwise she would have at least been startled, right?
I would have been.

Anyway, if that's the case then I'll just continue enjoying the show for now while tasting the occasional droplet of bathwater.

...

After a few minutes Lia is finished with her cleaning, also having washed her hair, and once again turns me around to face the wall.

I guess I'm still not allowed to see, huh?

*splosh*
She gets out of the bath.

*swush* *rustle*
And dries herself with a towel before turning me around again.

She has wrapped the towel around her body, her hair is still wet.

Then, Lia closes her eyes and puts her right palm towards her hair.

Ehehe.
I got a nice view of her armpit.

"[Hot Air]" She says, once again monotone.

Suddenly her hair starts moving as if her hand was a blow drier.

"Mmhhh"

So that's how magic works.
