Welcome to Gaia! ::

That accidental kick had indeed hit something. Yuki let out a shrill yelp like a wounded dog and nearly face planted into the water. Stumbling he came to a halt, released her, and walked awkwardly toward the nearest edge. He was hunched over, grimacing in pain, hands unseen somewhere in front of him. "O-ohh.. ********..." He whimpered, a few octaves higher than his voice should have been.

They were getting no where fast with the explanation, Neko supposed it would have to wait. Pulling himself out of the pool he grabbed a towel to dry his hair before he walked over to investigate the clothing situation. He had finally picked out a loose black pair of pants when he heard a yelp of pain and turned to see Yuki hunched over at the edge of the pool. For a moment he absorbed what happened. He had seen the beginning, Riyo had hopped on and demanded a piggy back ride and off they went. In their route Riyo had no doubt landed a heel to a sensitive area. Thus, exhibit A, Yuki in pain at the side of the pool. Yes, he was a detective all right.

Trying to contain the laughter Neko got dressed. Once the pants were in place he focused on his next goal of finding a shirt and tried not to think about Yuki's pain....despite how funny it really was.

It looked as though everyone was getting out of the pool. At least, everyone tried. Poke seemed to make it to a standing position before she quickly sat back down. "A...are you okay?" Mitsu asked. Sitting on her hands and knees she tried to determine if Poke needed help. She didn't want to risk over heating again but if she needed too she would go in after her. "Do you need help?"

Tobi, on the other hand, was intent to scoop out the location. After a good sniffing he came back around to stop by Mitsu and stare at Poke in the pool.

Suddenly the door to the bath opened again and though it was expected to see the desk lady or the twins again, a different sight was presented to the group. One after the other a large group of boys entered the bath, whooping, yelling, and horsing around with one another. Once they were close to the pool's edge a few of the larger boys started to throw their friends into the pool, the rest cheering when the boys landed midway with a large splash.

"Now now, be nice," Came a wavering voice in the same strange language the group first heard from Sohki and his group.

"Yes, gran gran," Came a lame reply in the same tongue.

To the horror of everyone involved, an elderly couple walked in after the group of boys. The older couple, who were clad in nothing but the equivalent of hand towels, hobbled to the edge of the pool. They were apparently there to watch the younger boys, who looked to be around fifteen or so, but that wasn't going to keep them from enjoying the bath as well.

"Don't make too much of a ruckus, there are other guest here," Called the elder man.

With a speed that was unheard of among the elderly the two disrobed and entered the pool. Their bones cracked and popped as they moved along and their skin hung in loose flaps all over their body making it look as though they were melting. Once in the pool, the two started toward the waterfall which the group of boys were avoiding at the moment.

Inwardly and partially outwardly, Neko cringed at the sight. He had surely expected to see the twins again. Even the desk lady was preferable to what he had just witnessed. And for the love of gaia it would not be unseen. The image was burned into his memory banks and he was certain it would haunt him tonight. "Dear god," Neko rubbed at his eyes in a vain attempt to make the image disappear. "That's why I plan to die young."

"ugh... I think so," poke attempted to get out the bath again, this time a bit slower. This time she seemed to stay on her feet, but was a little unsteady. "I probably spent to much time in the bath..." At her question of weather she needed help or not, she decided it would be safer to get some assistance, at least till she had something to cover herself with. "actually, could you help me to the desk? that would be great..."

And then the next group of people barged in. Poke blinked at all the teenagers who ran right past her and either jumped or were pushed into the spring, before a elderly couple walked in. It wasn't...the most attractive of sights, and again poke found herself focusing on just getting to the desk so she could then hide. "I'm to tired to put up with this.." she mumbled.

For a moment or so there, it seemed that Riyo was having some trouble figuring out what part of the body she had hit exactly. Blade raised an eyebrow as she seemed to be looking at the young dragons and herself before having somewhat of an enlightened look on her face.

"...Yes Riyo. That's the other difference," he said with some uncertainty. It was just slightly awkward to be talking about this sort of thing, "And it happens to be rather sensitive as you can see.. so try not to hit us there please."

For whatever reason, the image of Riyo having fun and attacking all the men by kicking everyone in the balls had infiltrated his mind. Hence the little plea in his words there. He'd perhaps eventually like to procreate and all... Ok maybe not, but it still would be good to keep things in tact if possible.

Yuki was far too occupied to notice anything aside from what he could hear. Even then, he didn't seem to care. His nudity either totally forgotten or his nervousness of being seen was tossed fully to the wind as Yuki climbed from the bath, miraculously resisting the urge to hold his sore spot, though he still looked like he was limping a little.

And everything had begun to go so well, Yuki was beginning to think that happiness was only there to taunt him.

Hitsu and Yuki both made quick work of drying off and dressing, Yuki mentally trying to will away the pain and Hitsu simply adverting her eyes from the strangers out of curteousy. Surely they were both very lucky to not see what the others had seen.

"... Oh." Was Riyo's only response to Blade's anatomy lesson. She watched Yuki leave the bath without saying a word. She felt like somebody had kicked her kitten or something and had to wonder if Yuki felt like this whenever he said something stupid to her.

Quietly, she exited herself, trying not to think about the elder dragons they were leaving behind. By now there were slim pickin's in the pile.

Eying the last dress (and possibly the only thing that fit her), she shook off like a wet dog and threw it on. Definitely didn't look like something she'd wear, with the bright colors and the floral patterns...

Riyo looked down at it and made a face. Definitely not her.

One moment the elder couple were approaching the falls and the next they were gone. It wasn't long after that a strange series of noises drowned out the sound of the water. The boys that were goofing off in another area took it upon themselves to laugh and make faces in response.

"My god...I'm not hearing this!" Neko quick as a light shot for the door. With great force he pulled it open ready to leave but ran into what felt like a wall.

With a grunt Durzo stepped back a bit to see what had ran into him. Looking down at the feline he raised a brow, a grumble building up in his chest.

"This place is insane," Neko placed his hands over his ears as he moved around the large dragon to move into the lobby.

With a snort Durzo let him pass and turned back to the others. "Dinner is ready. I am here to lead you there."

"No problem," Mitsu nodded to Poke as she pulled away to allow the girl to rummage for her own clothes. Seeing Riyo had picked out something and gotten dressed, Mitsu tilted her head unsure of the fit. She had gotten so used to seeing Riyo in darker colors that....it was just odd. Her brain wouldn't wrap around it. It was only when the mention of food filtered through the air that Mitsu's head snapped around like it was spring loaded. "F...food?" Her mouth was already watering.

Tobi leaned into the scratching enjoying the feel. It hadn't been that long ago since he had been given a bath and he still smelled of sweet perfumes.
