D7EE Bathtime (Open!)

[Otomo Gusai]

Gusai reaches over with his left hand, tickles under her chin in turn.

Warm other things, too, he thinks.

[Bayushi Sasori]

She started to purr. "Nya Gusai sama... What star should I follow not to be lead astray?"

[Otomo Gusai]

"The constant one," Gusai replies, and the hand that had been under her chin slides down, taps a finger gently between her breasts. "Your heart knows where you need to go; it can be your north star."

[Bayushi Sasori]

Sasori lowered her head to see where the hand went. She shrugged."Nothing is constant in this life."

[Otomo Gusai]

"Perhaps," Gusai replies, softly. "But this life is itself only a fleeting thing, really."

He sighs.

"I've seen enough of its end to know it."

[Bayushi Sasori]

"I guess I have learned that ephemeral part." She tilted her head. "I guess that is why I try my best to be happy." She giggled.

[Otomo Gusai]

"Anything else I can do to help you with that?" Gusai asks, cocking an eyebrow and grinning wickedly.

[Bayushi Sasori]

"Perhaps..." She chuckled. No fans to cover her coy look at the Stag. "Is there Ot... Gusai sama..." She looked at the Otomo. "You enjoy games."

[Otomo Gusai]

"Some games, yes," he replies. "Some very much so."

[Bayushi Sasori]

"You said you wanted to know more about me... I'll give you 5 questions for me to answer. The catch they have to be Yes or no questions. I'll move closer for each yes and I will move away for each no." She moved away from the Stag.

[Otomo Gusai]

"Minxy little thing, you," Gusai says. "Okay; I'll play."

He considers for a bit before asking the first question: "Do you prefer being human to being a cat?"

[Bayushi Sasori]

"Yes..." She moved closer.

[Otomo Gusai]

"That's a relief," Gusai says, then asks his next question. "Would your mask work on me, were I to wear it?"

[Bayushi Sasori]

"No..." She moved back.

[Otomo Gusai]

"Damn. Might've been nice to be..." Gusai trails off.

Not an easy game to play, this one, he thinks. And only three more questions.

"Are you an only child?" he asks.

[Bayushi Sasori]

"No..." She moved futher away. She showed him two fingers telling him the amount of questions left.

[Otomo Gusai]

"Damn!" Gusai exhales--although the greater distance does allow him a better view of the whole of her.

What next? What next? he thinks, racking his brain.

"Would you like to sail with me when I next take ship?"

[Bayushi Sasori]

"Yes.." The girl move closer with a giggle.

[Otomo Gusai]

Last one, then, Gusai thinks, and steels himself.

"Would you..." he trails off. "Would you like to keep sailing with me after?"

He blinks, as if the question surprises him.

[Bayushi Sasori]

Sasori continued to giggle as she moved closer. "Yes Ot... Gusai sama... I would really like that..." I could see if I could follow father's trail and perhaps his whereabouts. "Too bad we are just a tad separated." She giggled.
