#alcina doesn't quite get why it makes them so giddy but she's happy for them anyway

[valleynix]

So ik everyone refers to reader as ‘they’ out of convenience more than anything else but it’s funnier to me to think of them 1. being a gender less being and you just can’t tell and 2. one day earlier on, they had to approach Alcina and just awkwardly be like ‘so… My binder was ripped the night I came here… And I feel weird without it… Is there a chance I could have one ordered in?’ or smth

Cue Alcina just staring blankly as they try to explain what a chest binder is 😭😭 she’s supportive but probably like ‘I didn’t think you had any???’

i feel like they've definitely had a conversation before where Reader explained their identity as best they could (with the girls getting it pretty quick and Alcina... struggling a bit), and on the off-chance someone says something or calls them the wrong thing (intentionally), it's a warning at first and to the cellar after that

(they want to make sure their idiot bird is happy and comfortable <3)

imagine how much they would have smiled when it came in, though 😔 more lively than they had been in recent days and easily excitable now that they feel a little better. i bet the Dimis would still think back on that day from time-to-time, just remembering the bright grin on their face as they showed off their flatter chest </3
