Liatris led the way to the feast.
For this occasion, I put on my sleeveless, knee-length, blue summer dress, feeling that this is an occasion where I should wear something fancier than my usual sports bra and shorts.
My time in this humid heat with harpies got me to be much more comfortable with nudity as I didn't mind Liatris's (or any other) exposed breasts.
More than once, I contemplated if I should dress up after a bath, considering that it was more comfortable without clothes and a number of harpies were walking stark naked, while others barely covered their flower, but I reminded myself not to lose my sense of decency while repeating that I'm not one of them.
Staying true to myself was getting harder every day.
I experienced firsthand how time in isolation with a different culture can mess up with one's mind.
