Rook's jaw hung slightly open as Kusuyk gushed over her apparent beauty. "I'm really not all that," she muttered after she'd collected herself, her ears pinned back against her head in utter embarrassment. Heat had risen to her cheeks, but her short, velvety fur hid the blush from sight, much to her relief!
As her new Kushiban 'friend', for lack of a better word, heaped on the praise, Rook realized it was a useless fight. She couldn't win, not against a little bundle of energy like Kusuyk. She smiled very, very thinly and shook her head. "Naiya. You can call me Naiya, Kusuyk. It's my first name. Rook is the name of my Kiithid."
She stripped out of her armor after speaking - the gloves and boots went first, then the leg armor, followed by the arm and torso gear. She wore a simple black bodysuit underneath that, which was shed just as quickly, leaving her wearing little more than knee-length black elastic shorts and an olive drab combat vest, which hugged tight to her frame and provided a small measure of protection in a fight despite being thin as a tee-shirt.
Her body was as tough as Kusuyk might've suspected; she was not lean and athletic, but rather, was rugged and powerful. Though her build still had its share of curves, her frame was packed with well-defined muscle and her shoulders were fairly broad, lending her an intimidating and powerful aura. Her tail uncurled from the silk sheath she wore 'round her waist, which she untied and tossed to the bed, allowing the lengthy appendage to dance around behind her. A golden blond tuft of long fur, almost identical in color to her hair, adorned the tip of her tail.
"Scoot," she ordered, before crawling up until the bed and tucking herself in under the topmost sheet of the bed. Kushari beds didn't have comforters - instead they had anywhere between 4 and 16 thin sheets, allowing them to add on or strip layers as they needed. In the case of Rook's bed, she had 8 sheets, as was standard for military beds.
She'd been up for just over 24 hours, and exhaustion was setting in. She wasn't about to let herself get petered out, and so decided that a nap was in order. She'd wait to inform Kusuyk of her intentions until after the bunny had calmed down, however.
