(D14, MA) Merry Wash (Open)

[Seppun Yuzu]

Yuzu is once again inside his private bath tub on top of the main bathing area. He looks up to the skies, as the steam covers up much of the environment.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

The shrine maiden made her way to the baths as with her oils and essences to cleanse the body. She slowly dipped into the water noting the other tub and a silhouette of someone in it. "I hope Inari no kami has blessed you this day sama."

[Seppun Yuzu]

"Hai." The boy replies, already expecting people to join in. "How has the Fortune been treating Kaito-san?"

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Mixed emotions as the air stir happiness, hope and new horizons it also stirs sadness, disappointment and anger." The Kaito sighed. "That is the problem with being elementaly unbalanced."

[Seppun Yuzu]

The young Imperial frowns in thought and nods, “One does get rather anxious when hungry. I hope Inari-kami doubly blesses my friend and soothes those unpleasant feelings. Much in the same fashion as Benten-kami.”

He let’s a sigh out and puts both arms over the rim of the tub to rest, “I understand part of that is due Bai-chan being happy with the pairings. Am I correct?”

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Oh my... Lunch! I am yet to partake it" The Kaito shook her head "I am happy Seppun san. Yet this one is so empathic to people that well... saying good bye is hard." The Seppun would note the white skin of her shoulder as the rest of her body is submerged and blurred by the water. "Do you think you have been blessed by Benten?"

[Seppun Yuzu]

The young Imperial grins. "All I can say, if one needs some pointer of how Benten-kami's blessings works, one should pay attention at how Bayushi Minae-san looks at me."

A chuckle, and a good, warm exhale, "Also, I believe she'll be the mother of incredibly beautiful children. Especially if they are blessed to look like her."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

Bai smiled. "Remember Seppun san, a wife is not for just children but use her as advisor as well." She nodded. "I don't need to look any further than the man at my side Seppun san. Benten no kami has blessed this one with someone who is patient and understanding of this one."

[Seppun Yuzu]

The Seppun raises a judgmental eyebrow at Oubaihime's mention of not needing to look around any further. Inwardly, he thinks that such things are not even voiced if one's heart is not divided. Deeper in thought, Yuzu reminds himself that the Kaito had several people being rather uncouth while trying to court her. His cousin included. The one matched to marry her, in the end.

The one Yuzu offered enmity for his lack of decorum and betrayal of both friendship and family ties in the name of ego, lust and... love.

Yuzu shakes his head, trusting once again that the Shika knew what they were doing. Perhaps it was for the best. "I do believe as such. I hope Bai-chan can advise her future husband with enlightenment."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"We advice each other. That is how we work things out." She nodded. "We talk to each other and hope our wisdom aids in the decisions that we make. We don't seek enlightenment, we seek understanding and enlightenment will come. For enlightenment doesn't come to those who seek it but to those who understand."
