(D1EE) Do Cats Like Baths?

[Kaikoga Koi]

Koi motioned with her hand, a small smile. "A perfect explanation, oh and one of them was an Imperial."

Koi shrugged in the water before dipping her head under the water for a few seconds before rising back out of the water to the waist allowing her athletic frame delicate but beautiful to drip with the mineral water before she said warmly. "I am not one for large crowds, I immediately felt like I should have just settled down for a drink with you Usogawa-san."

She also seemed curious about the Cat and sat back down, scooting closer to listen as she sunk back into the water before someone else walked into the bath and saw her naked form. "I have been the Kyuden Shiba but never to the island of your clan but I definitely want to visit. My village lies high in the Mountain's in the Dragonlands, our winters are hard as well so I can appreciate the cold."

"But yes, tell me of this hat." She said happily.

[Nekoma Jae]

Jae noticeably shifts the way she's sitting at the beginning of the explanation, leaning forward slightly in turn, clearly excited for the story of... whatever had happened. "A large and loud scorpion?" she inquires with a small laugh, "I suppose the scorpion I've met aren't exactly quiet, but I wouldn't say loud, and I just sort of assumed it comes with their profession. The scorpion I've met had the same profession as a lot of Nekoma... theater. It sounds fun though." she says earnestly.

Her eyes glance Koi's way for a moment, as she speaks and shifts post-explanation, though her eyes quickly find their way looking back down again looking off to the side at the water, fidgeting a little. "I don't really know if I'm one for crowds like that, I haven't had an opportunity to be around so many new people like this before." she admits with a slightly self-conscious smile. She quickly moves back to the conversation at hand though.

"Oh, so that's where the Moth are, that makes sense. Uhm...well, it's white, and fuzzy-" she pauses, trying to figure out how to approach this without somehow offending the others. "So, the Cat originally come from an Ide, so a lot of our clothing is sort of a mixture of regular Rokugani clothes and furs and things more like the Unicorn." she explains, "I could go get it if you want but I don't know how... appropriate that is." she says with a little sheepish laugh, glancing around.

[Usogawa Narumi]

She inwardly approved of how interested the Cat was, and she very much enjoyed the Moth as well.
"See, I find the fashion of Rokugan to be most interesting- the practicality of it is something to be said, but the way each clan is able to take those rigidities and turn them into the most striking culture. It's one of my favourite parts of my travels!" she smiled at the Cat's sheepish laugh.
"I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to see this fantastic hat, Nekoma-san. I'll have to introduce you to my lucky cricket..."

[Kaikoga Koi]

Please, Otter keep it in the water.. Koi thought glancing at Narumi with a sly smile.

"Ney! Ney! Please, I love the idea of a hat. I have very sensitive skin and the dry cold winters do something fierce to me. I practically hibernate by a fire." Koi chuckled warmly, and paused as the Otter said to hold off which brought Koi back from being a bit excited.

"Uh, my clan are more known for our decorative lanterns and tarot cards for divination." She said softly, happily enjoying the warmth of the soak fully lounging in the water allowing it to soak deep into her rather athletic and appealing figure.

"Uh, please if its more easier do call me Koi-chan as we are all friendly if that is easier?" She said happily, her jade eyes checking out the Cat with alluring playfulness.

[Nekoma Jae]

"Mhm, it's fun to see new styles and fashion traveling around; I know we'll have Nekoma coming back from traveling with all sorts of new ideas, trying to use styles that they saw around Rokugan as parts of costumes or inspiration for characters in plays." she says cheerfully. At the mention of plenty of time for the hat she nods, "There'll especially be time to see the hat if this rain continues, and it seems like it might."

She looks back at Koi with a smile, "You might like one then, it's nice and warm, it just takes a bit of getting used to. Tarot cards? Oh, I've seen those before! They're very pretty." she seemed to be enjoying just chatting in the baths.

"Oh, sure Koi-Chan." Jae says with a small nod of her head. "You can both call me Jae-chan if you want, I don't mind." she adds in return with a small shrug.

[Usogawa Narumi]

Proverbial inner walls slammed into place, but still the smile remained on Narumi's lips, and she dipped lower into the waters.
"Oh! Tell me more of your divination techniques, Koi-chan; I've visited a fortune-teller once or thrice during our travels along the river, and have even traded with a rather overly familiar one, but I've always found it rather intriguing! Perhaps a private reading?
And Jae-chan, I'd be happy to take you to the market and we can compare notes on what catches our eyes?" she paused for a pregnant moment, before sitting up straighter.
"Narumi-chan will do just fine, for reference."

[Kaikoga Koi]

Koi smiled, enjoying the waters and raised a brow at Narumi with a playful blush. "Oh, Narumi-chan I would happily spend a private moment with if you wish." She practically purred. "Bring your lucky cricket I am fond of little things that jump and I know rubbing it will bring good luck."

Yes please. One Otter to go. She mused, allowing a foot to stretch out and touch Narumi in the murky, mineral filled waters.

"My clan uses a slightly different technique than other divination methods, it is due to our time in Yume-do." She said softly. "It involves tarot cards, and a small ritual I devised to evoke to void in the invocation."

Koi turned her smile to the Cat for a moment. "Without your hat I think you will need a beautiful hair accessory, I can carve you something? I am quite skilled with working with wood."

[Nekoma Jae]

Looking between the two of them as they discussed private readings Jae flushed a little bit, and it only intensified at Kai responded in kind; her eyes found their way back to look at the surface of the water for a moment. When Narumi addressed her though she straightened up with a slight start, pulled back into the moment "Y-Yeah, I'd love to go to the market with you, Narumi-chan." she says with a little nod of her head. "..and I would love something you carved if you don't mind, Koi-chan, I wouldn't want to take up a lot of your time here though."

[Usogawa Narumi]

Narumi couldn't help but chuckle, and covered her mouth with a hand for decency.
So forward!
"Koi-chan, you've no idea how much that pleases me to hear." she reached down and gently stroked the top of the Moth's foot with her fingerpads.
Shifting her gaze to the Cat, she spotted the blush, "Fantastic, you're staying at the inn as well? I'll find you, and we'll make time for one another soon..."

[Kaikoga Koi]

Koi was attracted by beautiful lanterns that took many shapes, many lewd and fantastically feminine shapes. "Oh wonderful~" She practically purred, starting at the feel of fingers on her foot before she withdrew it...she had very ticklish feet.

Koi let out a small laugh, blushed and covered her face as her foot withdrew and looked at Narumi for a split second. "Play it cool" She mentally thought, pleadingly.

Koi turn towards the Cat with a happiness in her eyes that lingered on desire. "Oh, no Jae-chan~ I would not mind it at all, getting to make you something and to get to spend time with you is honestly a pleasure. I believe your clan is famed for their actors, ney?" She smiled. "I am an actress as well, very flexible and very social. Would you perhaps be open for a private reading sometime?" She chirped, clearly in a bit of a raunchy good mood for a meantime as something dark begin to brew in Koi's head.

Right in the background, slowly barely noticeable for now.
