[D3, MM] Welcome, welcome!

[Bayushi Senshuken]

She chuckles. "No names. You will have to work hard to extract such piece of intelligence out of me." She replies. "I can tell you how and why if you so wish and perhaps another day, if it is something that you want and that you can handle, I can tell you in general terms how they went."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Ok keep your secrets" Sumiko laughed "I was just curious which flavours you were sampling while here."

There was a small tilt of the head and she turned to face Senshuken.

"Handle, Senshu-chan? Are you worried I might fly into a jealous rage? You have always been clear with what this is, and I may hold Benten in high regard I haven't had any expectations beyond two people who enjoy each others company. I'll never pressure you on what you want to say or not say, I was simply curious is all."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"I didn't say that." She replies calmly. "Nor did I want to imply it. Knowing the fact and knowing the details is a totally different thing that can bring up different outcomes as far as feelings go. For instance," she shrugs, "I would find the knowledge of you going to a date with another person almost indifferent. But a few details?" She smirks. "That's hot."

[Susumu Sumiko]

Sumiko shook her head, chuckling.

"You are silly sometimes Senshu-chan. Just wanted to make sure is all" she leaned in to give Senshuken a quick kiss "not that I'm looking for anything else, fun serious or otherwise. Not yet anyway. So at least for now you're my one and only lover, accidental or otherwise."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"For now!" She chuckles. "I would profoundly enjoy it if we got a more lengthy assignment at the same place. Secretly plot and put our names down for a marriage in a contract for something silly like shared rights for fishing salmons in a nearby stream. Not even a river." She laughs. "Oh I would love to see my mother's and my sensei's reactions to that scenario."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Now now Senshu-chan, let's be realistic."

There was a pause, and a serious look.

"It would be fishing sharks not salmon, salmon don't put up anywhere near enough challenge for someone as great as you" now she laughed "I think your mother would disown you if you came back with that though! You might have to settle for touring the stars with me and an ever growing mountain of plushies if that happened."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"But it would be part of a contract. For sharks! Official clan business. Orders. And it would become even better if we got stationed in the world of Dreams so that she would have to see us regularly and learn our news."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"I feel like introducing sharks to the World of Dreams would be a bad plan. How about instead of World of Dreams it's on Longshore with frequent trips back to the World of Dreams? Shared knowledge" Sumiko picked up her drink to sip "although if I'm honest I do miss the place. It's so bright, so full of life. Also it has drakes."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"And race tracks! And my mother's judgemental face. All the good things in one place!"

[Susumu Sumiko]

"The Spider do have race tracks you know. And some of the most dangerous races in the galaxy, that are only open to special invitation" Sumiko chuckled "and I'm sure my mother could attempt a judgemental face if she cared. Maybe."

There was a shrug.

"I can do it instead if you want" she gave Senshuken a judgemental look. It wasn't the most convincing

[Bayushi Senshuken]

She laughs. Harder and harder with each passing second.

"Kami, Sumi chan! You can't be judgemental. My mother has had special studies in it. Phd and all!"

"Plus I feel that you accept me for who I am. You don't judge me."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"I could totally pull off a judgement face if I wanted to. Did you not see my earlier performance? I'm basically an acting prodigy!"

She did nod though.

"You're right though, I do accept you as you are Senshu-chan. We're very alike in many ways, that's why we get along so well. Plus you're hot" she winked.

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"A major advantage. Just ask my ex." She jokes and laughs for a moment. "Or don't because you might find out about that time back in school that I almost failed Seduction 101." She theatrically brings the back of her hand to her forehead. "Oh the embarrassement. Please, pretend that you know nothing of this."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"What's it like to fail something in school? I wouldn't know I never did" Sumiko teased back with a grin "maybe I should do a deep dive into the life of Senshu-chan. See how she grew into the women she is now. I bet that would be fun."

She clearly wasn't being serious, but she managed to keep from laughing.

[Bayushi Senshuken]

The Scorpion chuckles softly and shifts her body so as to lie her head on Sumi's lap. "I'm all yours. Ask anything personal and I will try hard to reply honestly."

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Anything? What a lot of power you place on my lap" Sumiko smiled, running her fingers gently through Senshukens hair "but don't worry I wouldn't abuse such power. Maybe. Although seeing as you've said you'll answer honestly...are you happy?"

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"Yes, why wouldn't I be. I mean, happiness. How do you define the word really. I am, I think." She looks upwards towards the Spider girl. "Are you?"

[Susumu Sumiko]

"How do you define happiness indeed" Sumiko commented with a small chuckle "to me I'd say if you can close your eyes and when thinking about the moment or person find yourself smiling you're happy. As for am I happy?"

There was a smile.

"I'm happy I think. How could I not when I have someone willing to go through so much effort to appease a weird girl who still dreams of times gone by?"

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"It's nothing, honey." She smiles back. "I do want you to be happy and remember our time together fondly. It's no trouble as long as these goals are achieved. It's something I really enjoy doing in any case."
