hotsprings tiiiiiime

[occulthymns]

[Now Euri had very specific opinions on Folkvang. Namely, even though it sounded like a fun place to spend an evening, so avoided it like the plague. It was due to her albinism, of course; she was too self-conscious to visit a place that focused on beauty and the body. But she's been curious ever since she heard about it, and since that was when she first arrived that curiosity has had months to gnaw at her.

Eventually it got to be too much and she had to check the place out. But there was no way she was going alone, which is why she's dragging Vanitas along! He isn't exactly the same as a female friend, but she's more comfortable getting nervous around him.

Fortunately, she doesn't feel too nervous right now. They're in the hotsprings area, the coed section because it would be a pain to have to yell back and forth. And lucky for her, aside from them the place is completely empty. She still has a towel wrapped tightly around herself and every so often she eyes the water suspiciously (even if this is manmade there could be mermaids), but aside from that she's actually enjoying the warm water. She might even start relaxing at this rate.]

This is pretty nice, huh?

[occulthymns]

I like doing both. I like actually getting to know the other person.

[showmeanguish]

But you can get closer to someone without resorting to that. I mean, that's what we've done, isn't it?

[occulthymns]

Well - yeah... but there's only so close you can get to someone by talking. Being physically close is important too.

[showmeanguish]

Is it really that different, afterwards?

[occulthymns]

Yes! It's completely different.

[showmeanguish]

How? [Because he only half-believes her. But he does inch just a little towards her through the water.]

[occulthymns]

It - gives you a deeper connection to the person. It's hard to explain it in words, it's more something you feel. [She isn't quite noticing because this is a very serious subject.]

[showmeanguish]

Ah. [Well, he can understand that, at least. Even if it doesn't completely answer his question.

And after a small pause, he decides to keep going with it.] Who else would you wanna get that close to, here?

[occulthymns]

[He's pretty much asking who she wants to sleep with in Asgard, and that list is... kind of big. So she just laughs awkwardly and looks away.]

That's kind of personal, you know!

[showmeanguish]

Oh c'mon. I bet you'd tell one of your other friends. [girl friends, is the implication.]

[occulthymns]

Well - yeah - because girls gossip all the time!

[showmeanguish]

So what makes this any different?

[occulthymns]

Ah - w - well it - are you that interested?

[showmeanguish]

Try me.

[occulthymns]

... Okay, then....

Senji, Riku, K', Hanako, Draco, Nick, Allen, Zessica, maybe Albel if he was a bit nicer....

[showmeanguish]

...[Wow, that's quite a list. And of the names he recognizes, he can't say he particularly approves. Not that he's going to make that obvious.

So instead, he just gives a low whistle.]

That's an eclectic list.

[occulthymns]

[;o too bad Lea isn't in the game yet]

There are a lot of people I like there, that's all....

[showmeanguish]

Obviously.

I dunno if I should be relieved or disappointed I didn't even get an honorable mention.

[occulthymns]

........

... Um. Well.... [Whoops, blushing again.]

[showmeanguish]

[And in response, he just snickers a little. But inside, his pulse jumps just a bit.]

I'm teasing.

[occulthymns]

[She's turning a darker shade of red as she punches his shoulder.]

That's mean!

[showmeanguish]

[He takes the punch, but retaliates back by splashing water at her.]

Always.

[occulthymns]

[Oh no, she's not backing down. He's getting splashed back with both hands.]

Ugh, stop being such a jerk all the time!

[showmeanguish]

What's that? 'Please pick me up and throw me into the deeper water?' Well if you're sure...

[And he lunges to try to do just that.]

[occulthymns]

[SHRIEEEEK

- well no, she isn't shrieking. She is squeaking and trying to get away because DO NOT WANT, but it's kind of hard to dodge in water.]

Wha - no! No I did not say that don't you dare!!
