Era can understand self-consciousness, as she herself suffered from it for the first few years of her memory. It was less about thinking she was unattractive and more that she was disinclined to let herself be seen as an oddity and freak show. Once more Au Ra started seeking refuge in Eorzea it became easier; she no longer felt the need to hide under cowls and long skirts (which in turn made adventuring easier as well), and a whole new world of fashion was available to her.
There are occasions where she feels it prudent to show less scales and make her tail less prominent, but those are few and far between now. It helps that Amanda is someone she trusts not to look at her with prejudice despite not having met in person yet.
When her newfound friend arrived Era offered an enthusiastic - albeit soft spoken - greeting, along with a compliment on her bathing suit. She had considered wearing her one piece suit as well but had settled on her bikini instead. Because it was more comfortable and not because she knew that Aymeric would inevitably tag along, of course.
The Eevee caught her attention rather quickly, for she initially thought it may have been a new form of Carbuncle. It is, quite frankly, adorable, and had she been in Eorzea she would likely have searched for one of her own.
"Who is this?" Era asks finally, waiting for Amanda's laughter to abate somewhat. She stretches her hand out for the Eevee to sniff should it decide to now that Peki has given his full attention back to his own food.
