The Dairy Trap

Sarah nods... "I'd be happy for the help... I want to keep specifics mum for now... I haven't thought of them completely... and we don't want the plan getting to the guards... But if you can help me stir up discontent... I'd be grateful."

========

Rachel shrugs a little. "I slept through most of it... and once out... well you will see. The girls are all very nice..."

"I heard as much." She sips some more of the milk and frowns. "Um... do you mind if I ask you something kind of personal? I mean..." She blushes a bit and looks as best she can down the hall. "How come you seem so much more... attractive than me?" She gulps. Well, it was on her mind.

==============

"No problem. I've been biding my time for a while now, I've got no problem being discreet until we find something doable." Paula nods back and they go through a door. Ah, fresh air, the smell of grass and flowers, the rustle of leaves. Despite the walls at the edges, the open space is quite large. Plenty of other girls work a vegetable garden, and others pick fruit from some small trees.

Sarah sighs a bit... looking around. Well... this is kinda nice. "Alright... looks like we understand each other."

========

The girl blinks... pausing and looking back at the door... "Um... what do you mean... specifically?" She says, blushing.

Heather feels her cheeks getting hotter. "Well... I just noticed you're really pretty. I can't help but compare myself to you... and somehow, I just don't seem to measure up." She frowns, sipping up the last drops of the milk. "It's bothering me. I shouldn't want to look like you... but here I am."

====================

Paula gives Sarah a nudge and a smile. "Cheer up. We'll find something soon enough. In the meantime, you've got to try one of these tomatoes." She heads over to the vegetable garden, where there are quite a few tomato plants clinging to bamboo poles. They're in every stage of ripeness, the larger red ones looking quite juicy.
