Sumba Island, Indonesia, Sunday Afternoon

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

 Welcome to Nihi Sumba, one of the best resorts on the planet.  While many resorts play lip service to ecological friendliness and working with local populations, Nihi Sumba really does walk the walk. The resort has a strong focus on sustainability and a steadfast dedication to giving back to the local Sumbanese community while respecting and helping to preserve island traditions.

The island’s remote location is beautiful but it is also isolating for the island’s people, which has caused wide-spread and extreme poverty. Since its opening in 2001, Nihi has single-handedly kickstarted the island’s economy and aimed to improve the quality of life for those living on the island. Around 90 percent of the staff on-property are Sumbanese, and many more islanders have been employed through the food supply and materials needed to maintain the resort’s upkeep and operations.

"I'm glad. And thank you. I have clothes but I'm not sure if you'd want to wear any of them..."

Though thoughts in that direction had definitely crossed Stark's mind recently.

There was....a pause.

"Did you bring those leather pants?"

Honestly, she had to ask. Not even from the perspective of potentially wearing them, either, but out of pure curiosity, because leather? In this weather? No thank you.

"... no? Should I have?"

Sure, they'd done well for him last week.

"But I have other pants. Did you bring leather?"

"God, no," Summer said, with emphasis. "In this humidity? You'd have to practically peel them off like a second skin."

"... you would."

Summer. Summer, how was he meant to survive this week with these thoughts?

"That is the problem with leather. It's much better in cooler weather."
