The last time Sara visited the hot-baths she found it impossible to relax. That was the day she met Mei, who dove in the streaming water covered in mud. The rest of her visit was spent cleaning the water and having her personal space invaded. Yet she was not unhappy about it, Mei was now one of her closest friends and she would not have her any other way. Today she had invited the pink haired Lunarian to once again bathe with her, hopefully this time they could spend more time talking and less time trying to prevent themselves getting banned. Sara once more folded up her clothes in a neat pile and put them in a box in the changing rooms. Since they were gifts she always treat them like they were made of the finest materials. She would of felt bad if Hua had to buy her more because she was careless.
She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself tight. Thankfully she seemed to be the only one here. She never liked exposing herself to people and always came when most were at work to avoid awkward instances. She closed her eyes and flicked her long strands of teal hair behind her before she slid open the door to the baths. A instant wall of steam hit her and the heat radiated through out her body. She slowly made her way to the edge, dipping in her toes. She had all the time in the world so she did not rush sliding in, she disturbed the water as little as possible simply because she knew if she dived in the heat would case her to jump back out. It was always smart to take things slow. She took in a deep breathe and leant against the side, the water coming up to her neck.
Now all she had to do was wait for Mei. However unknown to her at the time their two-some was about to become a three-some.

Yue Lao didn't frequent the bath houses. Her mothers ran a nice bath at home. Since becoming a fighter, however, Yue found that her injuries were more strenuous and the knots in her muscles just needed to be seared out of her. She had since begun using the public bath. Yue tended to bathe in white wrappings, because she didn't like the idea of having to fight completely exposed. Her braid was always coiled up on her head, too; she hated getting it wet. She liked to bend her knees in the bath and walk around slowly, with just her eyes and nose above the water, as if she was some kind of magenta-haired kappa. Sometimes she would have mock battles in the water. It helped her with her reflexes, or that was the excuse she used; really, she just loved splashing around while no one was in there. It was pretty quiet most of the time.
Yue Lao was stretching as best she could before entering the bath. Because she kept her torso wrapped, she never bothered to tie the towel above her waist. She wore a cloth garmet which looked a little like a pair of shorts, too. All of it was easy to fight in, easy to move in. Yue Lao finished stretching and grabbed her towel. Mr.Princess had been sleeping in the fluffy cloth, so when she picked it up, he went tumbling out.
He shot off screeching into the women's bath, and thus it was him, and not Yue, who entered first. He leapt up as if he was going to take off in flight, but gravity took advantage of the situation. Yue wrapped the towel around her waist and bunched it up in one fist, trying to keep the ends together. She walked into the bath area just in time to see Mr.Princess plunge into the water: he had missed the floating basket where Lunarians were expected to keep their valuables dry. She didn't bother collecting him. He happened to be able to swim, unlike Yue. She had taught him that, though it had cost her a lot of her own hair and some crazy monkey clawmarks (which was tricky, as she did not think those tiny fingers HAD claws). Hime-san dragged himself spluttering to the surface and pulled himself into the valuables floating basket. Soaking wet, it was apparent that while he normally looked fat, all of that was golden fluff. He looked a little like a skinny rat, when wet.
Laughing as hard as she could, Yue didn't see Sara in the bath at first.

While sadly for anyone else at the bath house Mei was more than happy to strut her none-existence stuff around in public. She had no shame, she was a warrior and her body was temple of lean muscles and smooth abs...but not to her shock, was it to anyone else. Again it was only after serious talk from her mother, her step-father, the owner and some frightened children had she finally succumbed to wearing a towel on these little outings. She felt they weighed her down in the water, that was no way to prepare oneself if a leviathan just happened to live at the bottom of the pool...which she was sure there was because Old mother Hye-Jin lost a foot to a sea serpent in her youth!...or was it gangrene? Either way she had been warned to keep covered and since meeting Sara she wanted to keep this place open to both of them. It had been so much fun last time, she couldn't not come here again and receiving the message to meet up again it had taken all the strength her Mother had to get her looking the least bit feminine before stepping out of their home.
Now with a towel wrapped neatly round her torso and her clothes safely away, and not a mark of mud in sight Mei made her way towards the baths. Her body shivered in the steam that elope her body, it wasn't cold, far from it, but every tense muscle welcomed the feeling and at an instant she felt relaxed...for all of two seconds. She didn't see Sara sitting waiting for her, or the stranger who was laughing to herself. All she saw was the soaking wet monster on top of the floating basket.
"Aeei!! Baby Swamp monster!!! KILL IT, KILLLL ITTTT!!!" Arms above and swinging madly she raced towards the pool, all inhibitions forgotten as the towel started to fall off in a heap around her waist. However graceful Mei wanted to be in the following moments, she wasn't. She belly flopped into the pool, her stomach taking the force of the calm water as she stumbled over her two left feet in a rage to swipe the creature away from where ever Sara sat. She subsequently sank to the bottom.

 Sara heard someone enter the bath and stood, hands holding onto her towel as tight as she did so expecting Mei to have arrived, even though they were both girls she felt uncomfortable with the thought of anyone seeing her birthday suit she was too shy for such things. Though many a time she had come here to find women a lot more confident than her showing off what the spirits had gifted them, maybe they were having a off day when they were making her form - or so she always thought. Quickly she shielded her face as she saw water heading her way accompanied by a splashing sound. At first she thought it was Mei who had clearly must have learnt nothing about jumping in the bath from their last visit, part of her did not want to look because the thought of all that mud floating in the water came to mind. She just could not handle that again, spending a hole afternoon cleaning this place once more, she preyed to the spirits, begged them not to do this to her. For the love she had for them just... please. Let Mei have some sense, just a little.
However when she heard a loud laugh she forced herself to open her eyes. Blinking and confused her pale orbs caught sight of Yue, standing besides the pool roaring with laughter. Trying to contemplate what had happened she looked towards the area where the water had been disturbed. Bubbles started to appear and before she knew it Mister Princess burst out of the water like something out of a horror story, at first she did not know what it was, fearing he was some kind of rodent she let out a small sharp scream and stood back. Almost stumbling on the wet rocks bellow and falling into the warm water, however she kept her balance, just. It was not until the poor animal had crawled into the valuables box that she put two and two together. With Yue here who else could it have been? A small part of her felt sorry for him, he must have as little idea what was going on than Sara herself. Though she did try and see the funny side to the situation.
She smiled, turned and gave a small bow in Yue's direction in greeting. "Good Afternoon Neg-Yu-" She started before she was cut off, she stood back up straight and looked even more confused as she did before as a very familiar blur came running towards the pool. She did not fully understand the illegible squeak that left the mouth of her friend however her ears did pick up its basic intent. She gasped and shook her hands out in-front of her taking a step forward. "Mei! No! It is Mister Princes-" She began for the first time cursing the creatures ridiculously long name, it just did not come out fast enough. She shielded herself again as this time a wave of water battered her, she sighed grabbing her hair to ring it out. All she wanted was a nice relaxing day at the baths with her friend, why did the spirits take away such simple pleasures. ".... Hime-San." She felt compelled to finish before looked over the siltation once more. Looks like once again Mei had jumped in the pool, typical. There was a blur of Mei under the water sinking, she looked on and nodded. She would be fine... she thought as Mei's towel floated to the surface. She hung her head in disbelief, well that was Mei's decency gone. Moving on.
She looked to the side, seeing the monkey ride the 'Mei Wave' and holding onto the basket for dear life. She gasped and then set off after the creature. Her eyes turned into ones of sympathy as she raced over to the basket and put her hands around the poor primate. She lifted him and burried him into her breast, stroking his wet fur. "Shuuuuush." She whistled softly, holding the monkey much like a mother would hold a child who was crying. She had slowly grown a strange affection to the creature and did not understand why he was so calm with her. A small part of her said that he was only so docile because he could smell the wolves on her skin and was acting cautious because he was expecting Nori to bust forward and eat him. Or maybe he could sense that she had a connection with the spirits and that is what calmed him, her master always said that the aura of a soul conduit was different to that of anyone else... maybe animals could sense it too.
She looked back at the taller women, now with the precious bundle safe she could actually comprehend what had just happened. She felt a small twitch come to the side of her mouth, she quickly covered it and let out a small chuckle. Things would never be normal with these girls, they were both so bold and fun, she could not help but giggle at the idea of them both together. "Well, that was a entrance to one day tell the Grand-children of. You are right Yue, if so much commotion comes from one I could not imagine what chaos would have followed you if two of you entered today, we would not have a bath house left." She stated in the most respectful way that sentence could be spoke, before giving another small bow because her first greeting was interrupted. Her pale green eyes then floated back to look for her friend. Who had still not risen from the water. She wondered back over, Mister Princess still in her arms no doubt traumatised by his ordeal. She looked into the water and grabbed the towel which was floating on top. "This is Mei.... if she decided to... do you think she is okay? Should we be worried?" She asked surprisingly calm that her friend had fallen into the depths and yet to return. Sara understood that this was Mei this kind of thing was a normal day out for her.

Yue Lao was fairly certain she was dreaming. A pink-haired stranger ran flailing and howling something undiscernible into the bath proper, apparently heading towards Hime-san. The wet, unhappy monkey sat up in his basket and started pointing and shrieking. It was all Yue could do to cover her ears and grimace. It was a lot like that time she had fought Shin Mu... Without thinking about it, she plugged her ears, and the sound mercifully stopped. Was that all it would take in a fight with Shin Mu, too...? Yue Lao wondered, idly, until a splash of water which even reached her startled her out of her thoughts. The pink-haired Lunarian had thrown herself into the water, as far as Yue could tell, and... was now sitting at the bottom?
Yue Lao sauntered over to the bathside, her old swagger ever-present, and crouched, peering into the water with narrowed eyes. Belatedly, she looked up at Sara and smiled, though she looked confused. "Well good afternoon, Sweetpea. How's the water? And while we're chatting idly, who exactly is that at the bottom of the bath?..." Yue trailed off, stirring the water with her fingers.
Hime-san was panting and terrified. He looked like he might have a little monkey heart-attack. So when Sara picked him up, it was all he could do to shiver and cling to Sara. Yue sighed to herself, tossed her towel aside to where it looked relatively dry, and vaulted herself off the bathside with one hand, entering the water. She basically walked down the bottom of the bath, from where she had been to where Hime-san and Sara were, and surfaced again once she was able. She was pretty short, having not really grown in terms of height very much, so it took a while. She couldn't swim, but given her gills breathing underwater was fully possible. She just found it mildly irritating and slower. She wasn't much of a fish, admittedly; Yue was more comparable to a dragon. Water was never really her thing, but she did love hot water.
Once she surfaced, she flipped her soggy braid out of her face and readjusted the coil on her head. Not much use, now that her hair was wet. She sighed. "Sweetpea, as much as he's going to hate me for this, I'd better take my rat back so he doesn't catch a cold." Yue held out her hands to accept a soggy Mr.Princess. She was kind of reluctant to do so, as Hime-san was clinging frantically to Sara and cooing in a sort of monkey way. Hime-san didn't want to leave her. She was going to go wrap him in her towel, though; sacrifice her dryness to her fluffy monkey.
Then, after pausing awkwardly, Yue said both: "Is that a friend of yours down there?" and "...I think she was naked."

A’Meiya was blissfully unaware of the conversation going on above her supposedly unconscious body. Not that it mattered; she had gills like all lunarians and was happily napping while floating under water. Which at the end of the day was exactly what she was doing, the stars that flashed before her eyes on impact had lasted all of 10 seconds, and now, well now she was just being lazy.
But there were some key words she picked up on although everything sounded muffled. “Princess, sweet peas…naked?” That one kept on coming up. And someone called Yue…Ahh, she must be the naked one. Now that she thought about it she could pick up two distinct voices chatting away and was slightly disappointed, she thought Sara was talking to her…or at least herself…what, that’s what she did! It was perfectly normal…sort of. Now her curiosity was spiked she allowed herself to open an eye, and instantaneous regretted doing so as hot water flushed in.
“AIEEEEEEE!” The naked lunarian flung herself up like a salmon jumping up stream, giving everyone a good look before submerging back into the depths. Her hands crossed over her faces as she rubbed at her eyes in feverish protest. “My face! My faaccee!” Lowering herself she slid back into the water, its gentle waves lapping at her chin, as she started moving forward, eyes closed and arms outstretched she cried out for her friend.
“Sara! SARA! Am blind!!” She squealed forgetting she had two eyes and one of them was perfectly fine. “And some sort of naked princess is after you…as well as a swamp monster! Dear Goddess we have to get out of here!”
Her arms found what she was searching for as she grabbed hold of a pair of shoulders and forced them towards her, moving their head to be planted safely on her chest as she started to tread water in the direction of what she hopped was the bath edge. Sadly for Yue, it was her being saved.

Sara smiled and looked over at her friend, she kept silent and calm in the situation. For the time being things were relatively mellow so now she could go about to try and weave her little web and calm down this introduction so more drama did not unfold. By the looks of things Hime-San was one raised voice away from a little monkey heart attack. "Mei is a dear friend of mine, she is very... special." She nodded in reply to Yue's inquiry, it seemed a fitting way to describe Mei. A lot of words came to mind, hyperactive, lively, loud. Yet special seemed to be the one which stuck, it was a nice way of summing her up with out giving too much away - no doubt Yue would get to know Mei very fast, she was not the hardest person to read. She lowered her head slightly at the comment to her friends... naked form. She paused and thought for a moment. "At least you can not say she is shy." She stated with a small chuckle trying to make the best of a situation. Many came here in the nude... it was not that strange, was it?
Sara nodded and smiled, putting her hands around the monkeys stomach to pull him off of her. Little fingers let go reluctantly one by one and she finally managed to pass over the golden ape. "Okay, we do not want you catching a cold now do we?" She asked him softly as she parted ways with him. Rubbing her nose against his softly before he was back in possession of Yue. She then looked down into the water, finally seeing some kind of movement from the depths. Then Mei burst through the surface is all her nude glory. Sara looked at her for a moment dumbfounded, then when the reality hit her the Mongolians cheeks started to radiate a pale pink. Mei was showing off more than the world wished to see and if she was not moving around so much Sara would have attempted to fight the towel back around her, however she was too stunned to even try. She wondered why she was acting so strange, I mean stranger than Mei usually was.
"Mei, calm down please. There is no danger here." She protested trying to put a hand on her shoulder to offer some comfort, however before she could Mei was on the move again, the young Lunarian reached out and grabbed Yue, all Sara could do was watch on as the two struggled in the water. "Erm... that is not..." She looked on and then realised that there was nothing she could do to help the situation, she took in a deep breathe and leant back against the side of the pool, closing her eyes and trying to drift of to a more peaceful place in her mind. It was a surreal thing, trying to remain calm whilst chaos was eating at the world around her. All she could hope for was some miracle were Mei calmed down, what were the chances of that?

((I hear THIS in my head every time I read/write in/for this RP lmao))
Yue Lao could not rightly keep up with all that was going on. For all she seemed energetic and out-going, the truth of it was she was pretty laid back. Especially compared to Sara's friend. And then when Mei grabbed her, screeching about naked princesses and swamp monsters, Yue Lao was so thoroughly confused that she just didn't know what to do. She was holding Mr. Princess, and Mei was barelling towards her, and--
Dear Emperor. Yue Lao raised Mr. Princess above her head with her slender but not quite tall enough arms, and some kind of strangled, surprised warning sound escaped her lips. To no avail. Yue found her face being plunged into Mei's naked breasts, and she had no way to stop it except to drop the already terrified Hime-san down onto their heads. "In the Emperor's name, what--" she began to exclaim, before it became completely overwhelming. Yue turned her face, so at least it was just her cheek stuck between the woman's breasts. She was blushing furiously, her entire face a drunken magenta. This was definitely the first time anyone had made such advances on her. And they were meant for Sara.
Yue Lao shook with laughter as she realized that her placement in the bath was the only reason Sara had been saved this embarrassment. Finally, once Yue's feet found purchase on the bath floor, she simply set Mr.Princess down as close to the edge of the pool as she could, at which point he climbed up onto the pool side and into Yue's towel, using it like a fluffy den.
At that point, Yue scooped the naked Mei up, shamelessly, and held her tight until she calmed down.
"Sorry, Sara, I'm sure you understand why I can't let her rampage continue? As endearing as it is." Yue peeked around Mei to make eye contact with Sara. It was a good thing Yue's arms were strong enough for this, as Mei was quite slippery. If she thought about, even once, the fact that she was holding a naked woman, Yue would likely be embarrassed again. She was very good at thinking of other things, however. What a team this trio would make... the crazy, brave one; the quiet, kind one; and the flirtatious, determined one. Yue Lao wondered at the collective force of the three women gathered in the bath.
And somewhere at the back of her brain, a scheme was warming.

Mei was certain she was saving her friend from certain death. She had heard it all before, the beautiful kind maiden being eaten by a naked rampaging monster…or was it a swamp that had turned into a princess? But details didn’t matter! Only that she saved her friend by any means! Except….she wasn’t walking anymore. Quite the opposite really as she felt the floor slip away and herself being gathered up into strong arms. What was this madness!
“YOU WILL NOT EAT ME!” she shouted at her dismay off being caught, the mystery being held fast no matter how much she squirmed. It was then that an idea struck. Her eyes. Surly they would be better now, she would be able to see this monster, work out its weakness. So what if Master Yomo had always declared that a warrior can do battle in blindfold. Right now Mei was putting that theory to shame. It was time to cheat. The water had indeed left its mark on her retinas; the hot liquid turned her vision blurry and sore and it was difficult to separate one blur from the next. She squinted, her face not unlike a smacked arse staring daggers up at her capture – the menacing look worked apparently and she stared until he…or she came into focus.
Ahhh….
Looking up she saw Yue and her face turned into one of sheepish regret, all anger and rage gone but instead just utter stupidity. She studied her for a second unsure if she should talk at all and just maybe slip away? The girl had hair that rivalled her own in colour, a darker shade and 5 times as long but currently getting plastered with water as Mei struggled against her chest with her own naked…chest?...
“OH MY! AM NAKED!” The thought that she had just put this girl through enough never cross her mind as she literary scrambled to press herself against this strangers body to cover her shame, one hand reaching over and literarily snatching the towel off the monkey (which didn’t seem half as scary now she was nude) and worked it around her form with minimal movement.
“Sara! Why didn’t you tell me I was naked! Haha! If you wanted to go skinny dipping we could have used my pond!” It was no wonder A’Meiya never blamed herself for things happening. Somehow it was always someone else’s idea, or at least that’s what she told her Ma anyway. Patting her own head down she stroked the water from her fringe in an attempt to dry, her eyes (which were still red and puffy) turned back to Yue, her face displaying no embarrassment over what just happened but instead a giant grin void of all personal worries.
“Ha! Am so sorry Lady-san, I didn’t realise the swamp monster was yours…although.” One eye squinted in the direction of the possibly petrified primate. “Well…it looks more like monkey to me but who am I to question the Goddess’s choice in swamp monster image!” She shrugged happily before floating her way to Sara, her usual big smile slapped on her face as she swam up. “Sorry Sara! I guess am more scattered brained than normal! Master Yomo had me doing twenty laps for every six routines I messed up and, and…he knows maths hurts my head!” Her eyes grew wide with shock to fully accentuate the next statement.“ And the worst thing is I didn’t even get to have my second lunch today!” If Mei’s tear ducts could work right now she would be crying. Hard.

"I do, she can be a bit of a handful. Though she does calm down... sometimes... maybe... not really but she is never this bad." There you have the perfect description of the girls relationship, now Sara was even apologising for her. She did not know what motherhood was like but somewhere deep down she had a feeling that it was something along these lines, Mei was still young and full of spirit - no one could fault that she just needed to learn when to take a deep breathe.
Sara's cheeks fired a deep red at Mei's comment, she would certainly never ask her to take part in such an activity. There was a difference between taking a hot bath together with towels to uphold your decency and rushing into a pond with another naked women. She did not know what to say at first, the words caught in her throat and all that came out was a squeak. Then she wondered if it was that different, Sara found that all she had on her mind was naked bodies and in the end she just took in a deep breathe and tried to push such thoughts into the back of her mind. "Wha- I, Erm-.... I am sorry." She finally blurted out, at first she was trying to put forward the point that she was not like that, though as always her fighting spirit died and it turned into a apology, even though she was not too sure what she was apologising for. It might have been a joke but it certainly had rattled the innocent mind of Sara.
"Mei, this is Yue she is another friend of mine and if the rumours Lunaria's newest graduate from the academy." What she said was not only a introduction of the two girls but also a question, Sara heard loads of things in the crowded streets and one day on her way home she heard two students talking about it. She wanted to find out if it was true as soon as she heard however had not had a chance to talk to Yue until now. Sara gave a gentle bow of her head to her magenta eyed friend before pushing Mei back against the side so she would sit down. She knew at times Mei needed a gentle touch of direction and Sara was close enough to her to offer it. Though she could not imagine her best friend staying calm for long, no doubt she would chat Yue's ear off with questions. She smiled and leaned back against the side herself closing her eyes. "Well, now that is over why do we not go back to enjoying our bath. Hopefully now Mei knows that Mister Princess Hime-San is no monster the rest of the evening will be a little less... chaotic?"
She stated with false hope, she needed some normal friends... then again where was the fun in that? Clearly she was not expecting that later on today she would be seeing more than just a naked Mei...

As Yue Lao was discovering, having Mei around made her own self look like the most well-behaved, serious and harmless Lunarian this side of the war. She wondered what Jianyu would think, watching the both of them together. The thought was startled away, like small fish in a pond, when Mei yelled at her. "I was most definitely not going to eat you!" Yue replied, her eyebrows raised, a look first of shock and then of amusement settling on her face. And she made the strangest faces back at Yue... her skin was all flushed and agitated. "You shouldn't open your eyes in scalding water," Yue added. By this point, after all the commotion, Yue's hair was soggy even though she had pinned it up. She sighed internally. When it was wet, it got unruly. She would have to rebraid it. Well, sucker someone else into rebraiding it; in truth, Yue was miserable at braiding her own hair. That was what Chishio was for, after all!
And then Mei extracted herself, got the towel from Hime-san, and the monkey just sat there, glaring at her and looking a little poofy and more than a bit disheveled. Chittering in irritation, he found where Mei's towel had been discarded, picked it up and darted onto the fence with it. He sat up there, on the divider between the side for female Lunarians and the side for male Lunarians, and wrapped himself up tight, so that only his beady, angry little eyes were visible. That got Yue thinking even more...
Except she was interrupted again. Mei was blaming it on Sara? Yue shook her head, and crossed her arms over her chest. She walked the brief gap towards the edge of the bath, pulled herself up and stood on the dry surface. "Sara? Skinnydipping? I don't even believe she'd think of that, unless prompted." Yue Lao pursed her lips.
"Swamp monsters can be very tricky," Yue agreed with Mei, perpetuating the story that Hime-san was indeed a monster. She grinned at Hime-san, who chittered angrily back and wrapped the towel around tighter, as if to say How dare you! and I am not returning this towel, simultaneously.
Her eyes wandered down from Hime-san to the wooden boards. She had never been there... to the other side. What was over there, anyway? Did the men bathe in mud? Were there training dummies? Yue Lao began to dream that on the other side of that wall was a paradise. Naturally, they had stolen all the good training equipment for themselves (it never occurred to her, not even for a second, that there would not be training in the bathhouse) and left none for the women.
Sara distracted her, again, but it wouldn't last-- the plan was forming in her mind, more and more. She turned to answer her, though. "You've got it! The one and only is now a fighter!" Yue grinned wildly and raised one arm, showing off her muscle. She clapped her free hand down on the raised muscle and beamed. It was clearly something she was proud of, even though most of it had initially been built up carrying wine barrels and caskets of other alcoholic beverages. The meteor hammer hadn't hurt, though. Okay, well, not figuratively. Literally, she had injured herself with her new weapon unspeakably often. At least it had all been with the monkey fist, and not the spiked metal one she fought with now.
"So when are you going to graduate, Sweet Pea?" she asked, using her nickname for Sara, "and hey, while we're talking about this, you ever been to the other side of the bathhouse?" Yue slipped that in, as if it was subtle, clearly distracted by the promise of a bathland. She walked over to the wooden boards and rapped her knuckles on them, trying to peer through a slat. No good, they were too close together!

The salmon haired girl nodded in agreement to Yue words, wisdom she would surely keep…and then forget tomorrow. Her eyes still puffy she wiped at them with a free hand as she gladly accepted Sara’s push towards the seat seeing it as nothing more than a friendly shove than a ‘please sit down and do nothing for five minutes please’ gesture. Her body now snug within the towel and she pulled it up a little further before sitting on the rockery, calmness returning to the baths with a simple act of bum on seat action. It didn’t last long of course. It was like boredom was instantaneous for the girl and she was soon pushing her legs out in front to allow her bottom half to start floating towards the surface. Giggling in the midst of weightlessness as she became horizontal, then forcing her self back down to sit and then once again being horizontal like some sort of mad toy! She pushed and pulled and laughed while the others spoke. Her ears picking up on a few bits and pieces here and there as she generally messed about. But then something was said that she couldn’t ignore.
“A Fighter! Ohhh we must train together!” Mei voice ricochet of the walls as she jumped up, the words of a “Now a fighter” ringing in her ears loud and clear. This Yue was now someone to be admired! Her line of sight rested on the arm she held up and she felt the need to poke her own thin arm in wonder, her eyes glazing over slightly as she looked.
“I can’t believe you’re a fighter! You must be so strong and talented and just wow! You must train with me!” It didn’t matter that this girl had only moment ago been naked in the arms of this solider. It just didn’t matter. Yue was quickly becoming an idol in Mei’s mind. “I would love to hear your views on the five acts of the Stinging Scorpion, oh-oh and the Twisting Viper slash! OH AND THE RAGING STORM WEAVE!” Her words came so thick and fast that she went dizzy from the excitement, her form plopping back down on the seat so she could return at gazing star struck at Yue. She was still mystified as the girl went to check the fencing and it wasn’t long till Mei own mind started to tick and wonder as well. It was all that was needed to get her on board.
“Ohhh what is over there! Oh Sara, can we find out? It could have food!” She followed the path Yue had taken, still deep in the water as she peered up at the fence with curiosity and then quickly back at Sara with pleading eyes.
“Can we? Can we, can we, can we!?”

"N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no, w-w-why would I h-h-h-have been t-t-t-there?" She stammered relentlessly at Yue's question, it came as a shock and the fact she was not prepared for it made it that much more embarrassing. Why would she ever have wondered to the other side? Why would she want to? She was hoping she would quickly be able to move on however when Yue's words seemed to inspire the shortest of the group, her eyes looked like they were going to roll out of her head. This was not happening. "W-WHAT!"
"W-w-why w-w-would there be f-f-f-food there!?" She asked stunned, was she being serious? Well she did say that she was hungry and she had missed her second lunch so no doubt food would be on her mind. Sara would buy her some dinner when they left, she actually liked going out for meals with Mei. She felt like she could eat all she wanted with out feeling self concious because Mei was always the centre of attention, Sara did not feel as shy with her around, it was one of the reasons why she liked her. It was a balanced relationship, one was mature and responsible and the other was fun and loud. Mei was the ying to her yang.
Sara followed her companions out of the bath and went to the fence, putting a hand on both their shoulders trying to divert there vision from the parting wall. "Y-y-you know, y-y-you might see something that young ladies should not if you keep trying to sneak a peak. I think we should get away from the fencing." She stuttered, her cheeks flushed and burning brightly. Mei was too young to behold such things, heck she even counted herself too young to see such things. It made her wonder though, did men ever try to... Sara herself scanned the structure for holes, however it was only because this hole experience had made her paranoid, the thought of someone observing Mei and Sara's trips was just... unthinkable.
Then she thought it might be best if she tried to divert their attention and make them see sense, she had a horrible feeling in her stomach that Mei was going to go charging through the wall, she would not put it past her. She probably would not know the extent of her actions until they smacked her in the face.... bad wording, bad bad wording. She silently preyed that Yue would not encourage her. "I mean I am sure its the same as here just... for men. We bathe separably for a reason." A very good reason. "I just do not want to see you disappointed." She added with a small smile, that was a lie but only a little one. She was sure the spirits would forgive her, after all she was trying to protect Mei's innocence... and that which remained in Yue.
She then blinked, were they being serious? "... I mean you two do not seriously want to.... we could get kicked out... we could get caught... someone could be there.... n-n-n-n-no bad idea." She shook her head, it might have been the heat but her skin was glowing and her breathing heavy, finally her head flopped and her long hair covered her shoulders and face. This is what a heart attack must feel like....

Yue Lao had never before met anyone who was so emotional, nor so easy to please. When Mei jumped and seemed to tell following Yue's declaration that she was a fighter, the hair on the back of her neck stood on end. She smiled, her usual confident smile, but there was a slightly sheepish look to the way her eyebrows were arranged. "I'm always up for training," Yue Lao agreed. It was a sizeable portion of her life, in fact. Fighting, brewing and family: her three hobbies.
Mr. Princess was sulking in the towel, glaring at Mei. He seemed like he wanted to attack her, but was too lazy and damp to bother. For now, there was a relative peace. Mei's voice was so loud, though-- that peace was fragile. Yue just grinned awkwardly as Mei rambled on, and finally she added, "Hey now, you don't even know how I fight!" Yue laughed. "I use a meteor hammer, or I spar with my tekko. But the tekko is just for fun," Yue finished. "How about you, Mei? What gets you bloodthirsty," she asked.
Again, distracted by the wooden boards: was that a weapon she had seen through the narrow, narrow slat!? Surely it was! She heard Mei beside her, and, eager to get the others on board, immediately added buffets to her imaginary paradise that was naturally taking place in the men's side of the bathhouse.
"Of course there is food! Buffets, whole feasts! I'm sure of it," Yue said with passion, "Fighters need food to keep fighting, how could they go without it?"
Yue and Mei had largely, apparently, bulldozed over Sara's protests. Yue turned to face her, with very confused and yet excited expression, when she suggested they might see something 'young ladies should not,' "Oh, Sara! You are, of course, referring to forbidden fighting arts?" Yue winked at her, grinning madly. She knew exactly what Sara meant, but this way was more fun. Yue wasn't particularly interested or disinterested in the state of the men on the other side. It was their training equipment she was after. Maybe they had another kind of meteor hammer!
"You know..." Yue began, looking at Sara with a sly and pleading expression, her eyes still sparkling with excitement, and her face with a drunken glow, "You should probably make sure we don't get in trouble, Sweetpea. I'm going over there, but I could use the backup! Don't you want to see their paradise?" Yue swaggered over to where Sara was, and moved her face in abnormally close, slipping one hand around Sara's waist. "Come on, what harm could it do?" she asked, her voice soft.
She moved back to the boards, anxious to be going, and turned to Hime-san at last: "I think they have bananas over there," she told him. The monkey picked up the towel like it was a cloak, wrapped it around himself with one hand, and climbed up the boards in one dash. He stood on the top for a moment, made a happy monkey sound, and dropped to the other side.
