"Why, bearing the weight of us!" Kisha rejoins, laughing again and shucking another oyster. This one, she eats herself, and she sips at her wine again.

Once her mouth is clear, she'll say "But if I'm playing the Otomo, then you know you're going to be told to do things. What all they'll be, I don't ...

Kisha leans forward, and her tongue and teeth gently take the offering.

She chews for a few moments, closing her eyes to savor the flavor of the thing, swallows.

"That's nice," she says. "And maybe I should fluster you some more," she adds, picking up another oyster and gently prying it open ...

Kisha takes the glass and holds it up.

"To tonight," she says, and drinks of it. Sips, really, savoring the taste.

"But, really, what's flustered you?" she adds, reaching for the oysters and offering them to Senshuken.

"You're a real, full person," she adds. "But I can't know you if you don't let ...

"Well, first," Kisha says, "you can tell me what's got you flustered all of a sudden.

"After that," she adds, "and after we get a little bit of a snack, maybe you could help me get my boots off. It seems a shame to be on a beach and not feel the sand between my toes.

"Past that? Who knows?" Kisha ...

Kisha sits up, rising to look down at Senshuken, her weight settling across the Scorpion woman's thighs.

She laughs as she does. "I know you're not joking about my weight, Sen-chan," she says, and she leans back. "Especially not since you're my prize and all, now."

The Miya turns her head slightly ...

Aye, aye, captain!

In response, Kisha lays herself more fully onto Senshuken, kissing her once again before she says "You've already got the bottle."

She kisses her again. "I'll claim you."

And she lays down, her head on Senshuken's chest.

"I hear your heartbeat," she says. "It's fast!"

"Well, maybe this," and Kisha rolls over, or at least tries to, shifting her small frame towards the bottle so that one of them, at least, can reach it.

She grunts with the effort, honestly. It's clear that she'll need to do some conditioning if she's going to try this kind of thing often. And she ...

"I've hurt your feelings," Kisha says. "That...I didn't mean to do that. I didn't realize it would. I'm...I apologize."

She hangs her head.

"I really didn't have a plan, though. I'm in the dark, and not just because it's night."

"I...what I do, even though the Family support it, even though the Family benefits from it, it's...really kind of silly," Kisha says. "I mean, I stumbled into it, really. But I'm my parents' only, and there's a lot bound up in everything, and I know the day is coming when I won't have a chance to do ...

In the Scorpion's embrace--and how strange a thing to think, really--Kisha nods. In a small voice, she says "I've liked what we've done so far. A lot. Really. And I do want more, I really do."

She snuggles in closer, her small body wriggling on the sand.

"Were you scared your first time?" she asks ...

It's late, I know, but some character stuff here, if and as you can: viewtopic.php?t=171&start=16

Kisha leans her forehead in to rest against Senshuken's and nods a little. Her voice breathy, she says softly "I think so, maybe."

The starlight will glint off of a tear that begins to trace down her cheek as she continues. "When you've touched me, I've felt things I'd never felt before. I didn't ...

"Sorry," Kisha says. "It's been a busy couple of days. And it's still strange to me.

"But you're right, you've said it, and you've acted on it."

The Miya's hand moves to search for the Bayushi's own.

"Like I said, I'm still new to this. I mean, you were my first kiss. Are. And my second. And ...

"So I didn't drop it, then?" Kisha asks.

Then, "Wait, heated? I thought you were having a lot more effect on me than I you. I mean, again, look at you! You're pretty--beautiful, really, and I'm, well, just me. And you know how to do things, and, and..."

Kisha trails off.

"I mean, everything was ...

“Yes, fun. I'm having that, but it's time to go. Good night, Governor sama. Yasuki sama. Miya san. I must take my leave. Urgent matters of botanical concern call me. My cactus requires immediate watering."


Kisha is caught mid-sip.

"Oh, of course!" she says as soon as she can, and bobs a bow ...

Kisha kisses the fingers that brush her lips, then reaches up to guide Senshuken's palm to her cheek. She holds it there as she leans back, bracing herself on the other elbow as she reclines.

"I suppose there are advantages to being small," she allows. "I don't feel so cramped aboard ship, for one ...

"For music?" Kisha says. "Something low and slow, I think.

"For a lighter? No," she continues. But a box of matches emerges from her pouch. "Better flavor with these," she says, and offers them over.

"And for the record, I think you look plenty cool, even when I'm not looking down. But that's nice ...

Kisha, for her part, finds her attention wholly on the coffee.

Already, it and the water seem to be helping.

Kisha gives a little whoop as she is swept off of her feet, literally, and her small frame moved about at someone else's will. Held aloft, she kisses Senshuken again, perhaps doing a little better this time than last.

After a few moments, she will break the kiss and puff out "I'm not sure how, but ...
