Riyo waited about 15 seconds before letting Atticus up. And when she did, he came up with a fury. He gave a big gasp and opened his mouth to shout obscenities at Riyo when he remembered what was right in front of him. Oh, right. She's naked. He is also naked. Hey, they're naked in a bath house together. "Please go bother someone else. For the love of whatever god a being such as yourself would worship, PLEASE go pester one of the other guys." He didn't care about throwing them into the line of fire. This was every man for himself.
Riyo stared at him as if he'd just killed her buzz. "Jeez. Fine then." She said with a frown and turned her back to him to look at the others. Who would be her next target? Blade was conversing with Mitsu... Sooo...
Her eyes turned toward Neko, and with a devilish grin, she disappeared under the water once more. This time, her tail stayed just above water, slowly getting closer and closer to her target...
Atticus let out a big sigh when Riyo finally left him alone, a little blood trickling from his nose. "This is definitely the worst day I've had ever." He mumbled to himself and tried to find his own corner away from the "action".

The Elder seemed very nice, Hitsu decided. His kindness made her smile, thankful that he was so eager to welcome them and help them get back on their feet in a manner of speaking.
"We can stay, right?" Hitsu had whispered to her brother, looking anxious. "Right?"
The look of 'there are ******** dragons everywhere and nowhere to run' suggested to her that he wasn't going to answer anytime soon, so she only fidgeted in her excitement of getting a bath and a nice meal and good rest.
After more walking of the city; which Hitsu didn't mind at all, she couldn't get enough of it; they had made it to the bath house.
She and Yuki didn't seem too keen on the idea of both genders bathing together, either. Hitsu's face reddened a little at the thought, Yuki's drained of all color.
"Y-you don't understand," Yuki began, mysteriously hoarse. "W-we can't..." His attention was drawn to movement, and he'd managed to look away from the desk lady at just the right moment to see Riyo take her dive into the bath. "Fffff....uck..." His eyes were wide, locked on the spot where she had been. Yuki's mouth moved a moment later, as though he wanted to finish what he was saying, but no more than incoherent noises and jibberish came from him.
Hitsu wasn't going to deny a bath, and soon enough had come to what she thought to be a reasonable compromise; "May I have two towels, please? I'd like to have one to cover myself when I get in," she explained, "I'll set it off to the side once I do." It wasn't the nude bathing she was worried about, really, just the getting into the bath nude that seemed to be the problem. For now, at least.

"Certainly," Miss Desk Lady replied to Hitsu as she handed the girl two of the fluffy white towels. Turning to the other young man, and now the only one still clothed, the same toothy smile crossed her face. "Will you be needing assistance as well, Sir?" She made to walk toward him, but it was more to see what he would do and not so much to help. She was really enjoying their reactions. Such silly people!

Thankfully she wasn't exposed to any more sun, for the meantime. She followed Durzo untill they reached what appeared to be a outdoor bathhouse. She had heard of these, but never actually been to one herself.
"ugh..." she closed her eyes for a sec, Letting her hands go to her head to stop things spinning. She opened her eyes to see Durzo hand her a towel and point her to the bath house. She nodded to his instructions and, once he left, she stripped off all her clothes and left them on the desk. "Finaly... a bath..." feeling slightly dizzy she opened the doors, not really caring at who was in the bath already. It was proably a bunch of other women anyway. Finding a free spot she slipped into the water.
"ahh...much better" she closed her eyes and began splashing wate ron her face

Mitsu tilted her head slightly as Blade tried to gather his thoughts. It was odd for him to be this out of it....maybe the water was too hot? It was pretty warm. Mitsu could already feel her face flushing like she had a fever.
"What?" Her eyes grew as wide as saucers as she leaned closer to have a look. "A snake? A snake did that?" She couldn't imagine a snake being able to make that large of a wound. It was huge! "H...how big was the snake." For a moment she felt dizzy, though she couldn't imagine why. Bringing up a hand she reached out to place it on Blade's arm to steady herself hoping it would just pass.
Neko felt pretty relaxed as he leaned back against the wall of the pool. For a short time he closed his eyes taking in the conversations around him. Everyone was either okay....or completely freaked out. It was rather amusing. But then a word drifted to his ears that made his eyes snap open. He hadn't caught the full sentence but the word 'snake' had alerted him to a potential issue. Looking around frantically his eyes settled on the only thing that might be the creature he was looking out for. He had no idea it was, in fact, Riyo's tail so the panic was far from fake. Swiftly he pressed himself against the wall of the pool, color draining from his face as he mouthed the word '********' over and over.

Blade felt like he was going to combust when Mitsu had stepped closer and grabbed a hold of his arm. The normally observant man didn't even notice that three other people had entered the bath at this point.
Standing somewhat stiffly, he at least noticed that Mitsu seemed a little faint, seeing how he was staring straight at her, but couldn't think of any reasons why that might be.
"Very big... could easily s-swallow me whole," he stammered, nearly choking on 'swallow', "S-scar from one fang..."
At this point, he was the second man to bleed as some blood began to trickle out of his ********... my... life... he thought to himself. This situation couldn't possibly get more awkward could it?

"I..It c..c..could swallow you w...whole?" Mitsu was trying hard to stay with the conversation but her mind was lost in a wave of heat. She tried to look up at Blade but that effort was in vain as her vision closed in and she found herself starting to sink into the water as he legs gave out. "I...its so....very hot." She was able to stammer out before she sank far enough into the water that her mouth was covered. While the bath was very warm at first now Mitsu felt like she was being cooked.

Atticus, who'd been laying low as best as he could in his own corner, noticed another feminine figure getting in not too far from where he was. At first, he was going to look away and assume it was just another crazy-a** dragon chick. But... She looked familiar.
"... Poke?" He said after putting two and two together.
As Riyo got closer, her tail sank back under the water like some kind of naked submarine. There were only a few moments that passed between her complete disappearance this time, but she came up with a big splash... In Neko's face. "Boo." Was her subtle battle-cry this time around.

"H-hey Mitsu!"
The thief's dark red eyes widened as the girl started to sink. It took him a moment to remember that she didn't do so well in the heat. So, quickly, in order to keep her from drowning he grabbed a hold of her to keep her head above the water. Surprisingly it didn't quite hit him yet that he was holding a naked woman.
((I'll leave it up to you on how he's holding her. XD ))

Hitsu smiled in her appreciation, taking both towels and giving a quick thanks to the lady. One towel she sat aside while she undressed. Seeing as she and Yuki were the only ones left to get into the bath, she wasn't quite so nervous since everyone else seemed to be occupied now.
She wrapped one towel around herself, taking the clean towel in hand, went to the bath and got into the water. Once in, she set the dry towel far enough from the edge to hopefully keep it from getting wet, taking a few moments to use the now wet towel to wipe away the filth she felt on her face and body, then wrung it out as best she could and set it aside on the edge of the bath. Satisfied that the rest of her time in the bath could be enjoyed with relaxation, she sat up against the edge and simply observed those around her. She smiled in amusement; Riyo seemed to be having an excellent time.
Yuki had turned away from his sister, both out of being courteous to her privacy, and in vainly trying to tell himself that this was so not happening. His hopeful thoughts were violently ripped away and he was forced back to the cruel reality when the woman's words sank in and processed. Yuki wheeled around so fast, the lady probably would have sooner thought he expected her to sink a blade into his back.
"Y-you don't c-cu...come near me!" He stammered, taking a few quick steps back and rising his hands defensively. Sure, he didn't have any goddamn clue as to how to use kung-fu, but he was attempting to look convincing. Was he sweating from the heat? Hardly. "I can undress myself!" Whether he'd actually do it, however, was the real question.

"Oh ho ho ho!" The lady belted out a laugh, tiny tears appearing at the corners of her eyes. The bath house had never been this fun before. Sure the kids and younger adults did silly things every once in a while, but these outsiders were far too amusing. "Would you prefer that I undress before helping you?" Her smile revealed those small pointy teeth again before she gave a laugh. "Just kidding." Waving a hand at him to convey that she was only kidding she continued. "But really. I will need your clothes so that they may be cleaned. They can't be washed with you in them silly." Again she started to step forward, this time however, she had the intention to help.
For a short moment, Neko thought he might die. The 'snake' disappeared under the water and Neko was mentally telling himself not to move. He didn't want to be bitten especially in his cash and prizes. He had been bitten by snakes before and had become very very ill. Ever since he had fallen into a nest of them by the river bank he had never forgotten the feeling of being struck over and over with no where to go. He had been there four days before his mother had found him.
He started to take in a slow breath but it rushed back out of him in the form of a startled cry as Riyo leaped from the water. It looked as though Neko was about to crawl out of his skin and in his startled moment his shape-shifting began to fail. Eyes clouded over with gray and it appeared as if there were two tails puffed up in the water behind him.
As Blade grabbed hold of her shoulders and held her up enough so that her head was above the water, Mitsu's head lolled back. She was so dizzy from the heat it almost looked like she was drunk. "Mitsu is bye bye now." Mitsu muttered, her eyes unable to focus on anything in the haze.

Sure Mitsu was out of danger of drowning, but she likely wasn't going to snap out of this haze unless she cooled down. Frowning, he carefully maneuvered her so he could try and carry her out of the water. In the process of doing so, his hand grabbed a hold of something soft and squishy.
Freezing for a moment, he soon realized what he was doing and practically dropped Mitsu back into the water. Then, realizing she was in trouble of drowning again, he scrambled to pick her back up... only to accidentally grab her bottom this time.
"Oh what the hell..." he groaned while trying to shift her around so he could carry her without being invasive. Just the fact that he was carrying a naked woman while nude himself was bad enough already. Third time around he thought he had it right, until he felt her hand brushing up against him now. Again, he nearly dropped her on the spot.
It was a good thing she was out of it... that was for certain.
Quickly, he stepped out, placed her down.. doing his best to not fondle her more than he already had, and jumped back into the water hoping no one saw too much of his netheregions in the process. If he wasn't red before, he certainly was now. And it wasn't because of the heat.

Riyo couldn't deny that it felt good to hear him practically squeal when she popped out of nowhere, but upon closer inspection of his face, he wasn't just surprised. He was terrified. No way she could've scared him that bad! Maybe he was faking it?
At that moment, her eyes caught something behind him in the water. It only took a second to realize what it was, and to remember how he'd stressed keeping it from everyone else. "s**t! Hold your breath!" Riyo hissed to him, not waiting for a response. She could figure out why he looked terrified later. For now, she grabbed his shoulders and shoved him into that water faster than the dragon lady had gotten Atticus out of his clothes. Her eyes glanced to the side and she whistled innocently as she held him under. Sure hope he got that breath of air before she dunked him.

The fear had just started to subside when he had been instructed to hold his breath, but that's not what he had been able to do. A small amount of air had managed to squeeze into his lungs before it was quickly followed by water. Neko had no idea Riyo was this strong and began to flail a bit as she held him down. The old fear of snakes became a new fear of drowning as he groped for her upper arms hoping she would get the idea to let him up.
Thankfully for Blade, Mitsu was off in la la land during the awkward moments of tossing her around. She now lay across the stones lining the pool, still hot and very dizzy.
"Oh no!" Desk Lady was instantly distracted from Yuki as she ran to the girl's side. Dragons normally enjoyed the heated bathes but perhaps it was a little too warm for some. "Maybe we should get you to an ice bath?"
Mitsu only made a murmured noise that couldn't be pinned as a sentence of even words.
"...Eh, ice bath it is then." With ease, desk lady lifted Mitsu up into her arms. "Perhaps the small fluffy thing you brought will enjoy your company." She told the girl, though she was uncertain if she could hear. "He's getting a bath as well." Without much explanation on where they were going, Desk Lady exited the room with Mitsu in tow.
((Don't think Yuki is off the hook just yet))

Riyo kept whistling when Neko's arms reached up, and briefly continued to hold him under just to be safe...
That was, until, those hands managed to grope the worst (or best depending on your stance) things they could grab. The sound she made was something between a whistle and a squeak, like some kind of endearing animal sound. Her hands immediately left his shoulders in surprise. What had just happened?
