They Said to Bathe

[Yogo Otoko]

She gave another small shrug. "I come with it all, you can't leave anything out. That's just the way of things."

Pausing, she looked up enough to peek over with one eye. "... Suppose I should add; Yogo Otoko."

[Kokyou]

"Although I would like a piece, I wouldna dare t' cut it out like that. A pleasure t' meet yer acquaintance, Yogo-chan." He says, looking at her for a moment and back to the water, nonchalantly.

[Yogo Otoko]

Otoko gave a slight frown, though she still relaxed back. "...Do I not get a name in return? You wound me."

[Kokyou]

He was waiting for the question. "I apologize. I would ne'er hurt ye unless ye ask me t', lovely."

Shamelessly rising naked from the pool, Kokyou raises his fist up and points ahead. The water splashes everywhere from a sudden movement. He announces himself. "I be the breathin' ambition o' discovery, wealth, glory an' conquest. The seed o' the storm, soon the become the mightiest gentleman o' fortune this world an' that 'as e'er known! Kokyou is the name I be given."

[Yogo Otoko]

Otoko opened an eye a bit a moment before closing it almost immediately and letting out a long breath. "...So Kokyou then, in summery. I'll guess I was right that you're a Mantis after all that."

[Kokyou]

He sits back. Smile still on his face. He nods. "Aye ye we be right. I be a Mantis. A mighty good'un."

[Yogo Otoko]

"I should hope so, if you were sent here by your clan," she remarked. "Though you would have a long way to go to keep up with Mai."

[Kokyou]

"Ah. Mai-chan, me hearty. She be mighty a talent. When I get me galleon, I'll make her me main navigator, Sure I will." He nods, thinking of his clan mate.

[Yogo Otoko]

"That is to assume she is not the one who gets a ship first.... though I think perhaps she would be just as well staying as a navigator."

[Kokyou]

"She's a navigator. A Shugenja. Nah sure they get t' be ship captains. tradition 'n all." He says, shrugging.

[Yogo Otoko]

"Well regardless, whatever she sets her mind to, I imagine she will do so, and do so well."

[Kokyou]

"Aye. She's good wit' ships. She's Mantis. She be th' best." Kokyou nods. They knew ships like no other.

[Yogo Otoko]

Otoko nodded her head a bit where is was laid back against the side of the bath. "I do not doubt it.... I only saw my first ship when we met up in Otosan Uchi before traveling here."

[Kokyou]

"So ye ne'er been into one. That be interestin'. I can solve that fer ye. If ye wants t' be into one, I mean." He says, opening a sly smile.

[Yogo Otoko]

"Maybe," was her only reply, before. "...Have you ever ridden a horse?"

[Kokyou]

"I 'ave nah, but I will soon. Utaku-sensei..." He pauses, smiling, then adds, "She will show me her special ridin' techniques."

[Yogo Otoko]

Otoko gave a soft sigh. "...Well if anyone could, it would be an Utaku."

[Kokyou]

"'ave ye?" He asks.

[Yogo Otoko]

"Well... I am trained by the Iuchi, and they would never allow me to go through their school without some horse training... but I must admit, I'm hardly any good at it. I'm not certain animals and I get along."

[Kokyou]

"Then ye 'n me both shall get Utaku-sensei fer a ridin' lesson." A threesome experience Kokyou fantasizes about.
