(D2, LE, Baths, Open but Expecting) Will it Fit?

[Asahina Bo]

Bo sighed in relief as he entered the bathhouse and saw that, thanks to the hot spring, it was quite spacious. He had been worried as to whether he would be stuck solely wiping down and not getting to actually soak and relax.

That said as the mountain of a man entered the bath he couldn't help but sheepishly notice how much water was displaced over the floors.

"Sorry." He said despite, currently, being alone.

[Usogawa Narumi]

Narumi made sure she cleansed deeply, scrubbing off the day, before she entered the baths... and the floor underfoot was wet? Was it that way the last time? A moment of consideration, before her gaze tracks to the bath and the mountain soaking there. She nearly slips on the wet tiles as she's suddenly lightheaded, but rights herself.
He's not cursed. And certainly not possessed.
She presses her lips together in earnest, takes a deep breath, and finishes her approach. She dips into the waters, probably faster than is polite, and sinks down to just about her chin.
"Good evening, Asahina-san..." oh good, her throat wasn't sandpaper today. "It's so good to see you again!"

[Asahina Bo]

Bo carefully folds himself to make more room in the bath for others, his form rising higher above the water line though not quite revealing anything inappropriate.

Otter... Otter is Uso... Usogawa!

He offers another big smile both at seeing her again and for remembering the proper name, "Good evenin' Usogawa-san. Here's hopin' the day treated you well."

[Usogawa Narumi]

Her brow noticeably furrowed as he shifted position, before she politely averted her gaze to a nearby wall, considering it very carefully as the waters swished around them.
"I'd say it has! And well, better for having found you! Tell me all about your day?" She dared to look back. Immediately blushing.

[Asahina Bo]

He nods enthusiastically, "Oh yeah! Uh the interview went well, I tried some new tea, got to cook dinner, and now I get to see you again. So it's been a real good day!"

[Usogawa Narumi]

Her breath stuttered in her throat. Trying to swallow to clear it, she found the sandpaper had returned after all.
"Oh your interview was successful? That pleases this one to hear! My interview went splendidly as well... I'm accustomed to being the one asking the questions, mind you, so this was different, being on the receiving side of a matchmaker's scrutiny. I mean, my aunt- who I work for- I'm always under her scrutiny," she shrugged shoulders lightly, they raised out of the water with the movement before Narumi ducked down low sheepishly once more.

[Asahina Bo]

"Yeah I was pretty nervous but it seemed to go well. Glad to hear the same was true for you." He offers another wide smile, "How was the rest of the day?"

[Usogawa Narumi]

Could one drown in the baths? If Narumi sunk any lower, she just might.
He smiled and her heart nearly stopped.
"I have no complaints! Lots of meetings with other samurai. The play was... interesting. Certainly food for thought. Oh speaking of food- you said you made dinner? I'm sorry I missed it."

[Asahina Bo]

More enthusiastic nodding, "Yes! I'm so happy Neko-sama lets me use the kitchen. I mean it was just some fried rice and vegetables but it's great to get to cook. I could make you somethin' later if you want? Well... maybe not tonight it's gettin' late. Unless you want to eat late? But maybe tomorrow would be better...."

[Usogawa Narumi]

This was it. This was the end of Narumi-chan. Drowned in the baths at Kyuden Shika, her heart having exploded inside her chest.
She lost feeling in her fingertips, and shook her hands out under water in an attempt to wake them up again. She opened her mouth to speak and nearly choked on the waters before she remembered to sit up a bit. Her face was burning from blushing so hard.
"Um."
Brilliant.
"As much as tonight would thrill me.. Asahina-san.. Perhaps an early breakfast? I can bring the spices I mentioned?"
