Heh, that’s... true. But you may get to see them at the onsen. I guess this is, ah, a bit of a warning.

Well, I certainly won't be surprised now, so duly noted.

[ advance to onsen: y/n ]

[ y! ]

[ it might still come as a surprise, sobs. ]

[ on reaching the onsen she's going to stop at the entrance and catch her breath. she's kind of tired, since it's one hell of a trek to this place. ] I... I am so ready to... soak...

Phew, right?

[ she is at least, a stamina runner rather than a sprinter, so while she's definitely really sweaty, she doesn't look entirely exhausted. ]

I'm really ready to not be sweaty anymore.

[ she might exercise, but she doesn't exercise this much, so she's dying! she's doubled over and STILL trying to catch her breath, though she huffs something that's probably a response, chuckling, because she absolutely agrees. ]

L- Let's get inside.

Great plan.

[ hikes her bag up a little further on her shoulders, and heads for the entryway to grab a yukata on her way to the changing area. ]

[ she follows her inside and grabs a yukata of her own. ] Need a hand showering~?

Oh, if you wouldn't mind getting my back, actually...

[ military close quarters mean modesty is irrelevant, so she doesn't really hesitate or anything before starting to strip out of her running clothes. ]

Of course! as long as you promise to do mine 💕 and the top of my tail. It’s a pain the ass to get it without twisting all around. [ she sheds her own clothing, scales shimmering, as she steps into the shower. ]

I can do you first~ and not to worry I’ll be thorough!

Ah, thanks—and of course I will, no problem at all.

[ she goes to turn on the water.

It's notable that she has a lot of old scars visible on her torso—including, if you pay attention, one very large vertical one that has a matching scar on her front. ]

[ hard to miss that. ]

...

[ she's going to reach out toward her back and... gently brush her fingers down the scar. ] Do you mind if I... ask about this?

Ah—

...oh, it's fine. I... don't actually entirely know how I got that one, yet. I've had it for a long time, I think.

[ that doesn't really look like a survivable wound, though. ]

I—died, at least once, I think.

[ it does not, and that's kind of why it caught her attention. ]

...that makes two of us, but I definitely couldn't, like, die again. [ tilts her head as she grabs a cloth to start lathering it up with soap. ]

[ sticking herself briefly under the water— ]

Well—I definitely wasn't supposed to, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it.

...if it's anything like what we deal with here, then I'm going to take your word for it. [ she brings the sud soaked cloth to her back to start washing it, though shrike will, shortly after, feel d.va's lips on her scar. ]

[ she squeaks, flushing— ]

Hey—

[ smirks against her skin, but makes sure to keep on washing her, because that's what she said she'd do~ ] Is something wrong?

I'm really easy to tease, aren't I.

...kind of.

...I've really got to work being less easy to bully...

[ she at least didn't like, jump away, though. ]

[ she glides the cloth up and over her shoulders and then down and around to her front, taking extra special care around her breasts. ]

It's not a bad thing, but you can absolutely try right now.

H...hey, that's really—

[ don't get turned on don't get turned on don't get turned on

...it's not working. ]

Hm? [ she tilts her head as she nips at her shoulderblade, her tail gliding between her own legs and then through shrike's, lifting to rub the both of them. ] ...that's really what?

[ her breath hitches, and she has to sort of brace herself against the wall of the showers and the end of that sentence comes out as a whine— ]

...unfaaaaaair...

...are, are you coming on to me?

[ she's stupid. ]

I don't think so. I mean, you'll have the opportunity when you wash me. [ chuckles, wishing she were taller so she could suck a mark into her neck, but she'll have to settle for nipping at her arm. ]

What do you think, Shrike?
