D2LM hot spring - A relaxing(?) soak (open but expecting)

[Kaikoga Fujiko]

As she cleaned herself, Fujiko was thinking back on how exactly she got here.

It had all started with that disaster of a meeting with Pei Pei, followed by her sickness acting up. Then, as she was quietly coughing her lungs out behind a folding screen, a woman with some big - and I mean just massive - bird had barged in, been very friendly then invited her somewhere else. The plan had been to go for tea to talk a bit and get to know each other, but someway, somehow, the conversation had drifted to the fact that she'd just arrived this morning and the fact that her... issue behind the screen had left her feeling sweaty and gross (thank you very much lack of brain to mouth separation) and here they were.

Well... A good, nice soak would leave her refershed and relaxed. What could go wrong?

Her mind helpfully supplied her with quite a few items that, while very aesthetically pleasing, would definitely fit that definition.

At least, her pallid complexion meant that her blushing was hardly a thing as she stepped into the hot spring.

Where she could see the other woman sink slowly down into the bath, her back turned to her as first her long legs got swallowed by the water, while steam fog for a moment rose with her movement framing her, and as she drove down her her skin, darker then a courtly lady at many places where it was exposed to the sun vanished, together with the red marks beneath her shoulder blades as if she had been scratched by something ,or someone .
"Ah, nothing better then warm water, are you gathered enough , or would you like some aid with cleaning yourself before you enter the spring?" she calls out softly as she turns to her slightly rising out of the waters there.

Ko-no-hama, I thank you for your gifts.

Fujiko stood silently for a bit, entranced by the view. Someone lost a fight against a big cat or didn't lose any time at the miai... She remained there until Kheree spoke.

"Ah, uh, no, I'm all ready." She stepped quickly to the edge of the of the spring, holding her towel tight. "I'm here, hahaha..."

She dipped her toes in the water and found it pleasantly warm. This done, she stepped in and immerged her thin body all the way up to her shoulders.

"Ah," she let out a content sigh. "This is nice. Very nice indeed."

She felt her earlier pain melt away in the spring water and turned to Kheree, glancing at her through the steam.

"Ah bathing, I always miss a bathhouse when I am traveling between outposts or capturing new horses to make the herds bloom again. Sometimes you need to inject some fresh blood after all. " she says as she stretches herself only showing off a bit as she does so

Fujiko couldn't help but once again look respectfully as Kheree's stretching brought some interesting sights out of the water. She eventually looked to the side and took a deep breath. This bath sure was hot.

"Ah, and you go herd those 'mares' often?" she asked, wishing that her sketchbook were waterproof so she could have it at hand.

"It is my sacred duty to take care of our herds so that our battlemaidens never lack for steeds." she says and then smirks as she moves closer " And breaking in a wild horse as it buckles under you has its own pleasure , but I should talk less about me, and wish to know what is it that fills you with joy."
she asks a teasingly, knowing exactly how she is not sounding innocent.

"Ah..." Fujiko's voice jumped a few octaves and died at Kheree's sudden and daring approach.

So this must be why father always kept me in. Understandable, this can't be good for my health.

"Well, I, uh..." Fujiko started to sweat furiously. Clearly the heat and nothing else. "I'm not much of a rider, but I do have a very, um... scholarly interest in herding, so by all means, you can keep on talking about your, uh... blblblb" Her voice turned into a bubble stream as she sank in the spring up to her nose.

She smiles and then leans in, and pokes Fujikos forehead for a second " Do not drown, I could save you but there are easier way for me to try to kiss you "
She waits a second and then drifts a bit back. " Be a good girl, one long breath in, and then out, in and out , no water up your nose or I shall be cross with you." she says half teasing half threatening.

Fujiko brought her mouth out of the water and took a deep breath.

"You, uh... are quite forward, aren't you?" she finally said. Why she asked this obvious question, she didn't know, but she felt like she had to say at least something.

"It is part of my charm, swift as the storm and loud as thunder but never uninvited , but the word no will stop me like a blade . " she says and smiles giving her victim some space to breath as she tilts her head a bit sideways.
