[Day 3, Late Evening- Koi's Room] Three's Company (Closed)

[Shiba Raizo]

What the hell am I doing?!

It was a really stupid question, but he was good at those.

Raizo took a deep breath at the door to Kaikoga Koi's room.

He had faced death more than once. He had walked roads many in the Empire would have quailed at.

But.

But for the love of every Fortune, all of the Kami, and however many blasphemous gaijin deities there are, don't let me screw this up.

He was coming to terms with just how much he liked Aimi, and didn't want to fumble that, however things ended up on the matrimonial front.

He kind of had the impression that Koi was more interested in Aimi than she was in him- or in any man, for that matter- but he also liked her- and was nowhere near stupid enough not to be grateful for the opportunity she'd helped organize.

He who hesitates is lost.

He scratched at the door. And when it opened, he stepped through.

[Kaikoga Koi]

Koi was in a good mood solely for this moment, the day had been a wash out and she just wanted to be left alone to focus on all the interesting things that filled her mind.

Affectionately Koi had no interest in the Shiba or Aimi, Aimi reminded Koi of June to much and that was just unhealthy but sex was sex and she needed a stress reliever. Plus, she has got to practice who knows who she would end up with if anyone at all.

Koi had laid down the futons, and laid out the oils of Honeysuckle designed for arousal. Some love and affection before the entertainment began, Koi had intentions of a sensual massage for Aimi that the Shiba would be requested to sit and watch before Koi and Aimi forced on the Shiba.

That was the strategy at least, and unlike a battle field the Moth know the rules of bed. She had laid out lanterns around the room as she often did in the evening, the light from the lanterns producing little shadows of Moth's across the walls and ceiling adding perhaps a little mystery.

Koi smiled, happy and confident.

She got the rope and gag out just in case the Shiba didnt have the earth stamina to keep up.

When she heard the first scratch Koi would beam a smile, prepared for all of the fun.

[Aimi]

What am I doing?

A stupid question. She knew exactly 'what' she was doing - a covert visit to a friend's room for the night, to have some fun and work out some stress with Koi and the handsome-if-blunt man they'd been sparring with the previous day. She'd done such things before, more than once, but that had always been... ephemeral encounters, brief indulgences before a return to the road.

This could very well be different. She was here in Kyuden Shika for two weeks yet at the least, surrounded by courtiers and judgemental lords, and what she planned as a brief indulgence without consequence could very well become... well, rather more, if someone else found out about it and didn't have the good taste to keep their mouth shut. And as for herself, she was... not quite so detached and selfish as she might like to pretend. Koi was a friend and always would be, there was no issue there, but Raizo... might be more. Potentially. If she wasn't reading things wrong. Which was on its own another reason why she'd agreed to this, but the potential consequences...

Well. She was already here, having slipped out of her room in the quiet of the evening and made her way along to the other woman's door. And now... now she was committed. So she gave one last furtive glance around, scratched the door frame, and then slipped her way inside.
