Kana nodded her head quickly, glancing at the three now around her. "I'm fine, I promise. I'm... very sorry for worrying you all," she said softly, almost guiltily. "But there's no need, so please..."
Then she raised her head again, forcing a grin back upon her face. "But we're in a hotspring. You can't let yourself get down here!" she declared firmly. Then she leaned back against the wall behind her, closing her eyes and pretending like she was lounging and comfortable. "See? I feel better already," she laughed.
She grinned at Kietaru and then shook the girl's hand warmly. "It's nice to meet you too," she nodded happily, the excited shine back in her blue eyes. She blinked as Kietaru promised her help and then laughed. "Thanks, but I really don't want you to worry about it. I'll just... ignore her or something," Kana laughed, but inwardly felt a sudden pang of guilt for even thinking that.
Kana gazed at Shojuto for a moment and then laughed aloud once more. "So you're the older one?" she asked, tilting her head curiously to the side. She was very relieved that these people had stepped in, even though they had no reason too, though she felt bad for pushing her problems upon them, even though Shojuto had admitted he found Suki annoying as well. So then, he'd be helping for himself as well? Kana tried to assure herself. She didn't want to selfishly have all these people help her after knowing them for only a couple minutes.

When Kana lifted her head again, she seemed comfortable. He had to stop himself, though, from saying something like 'Did you like what you saw?' He shook his head, hiding a grin. If only she knew... well, she knows I flirt too much anyway. I mean, she is- The thought stopped there.
Now it was Kumizu's turn to raise his head with a smile. He watched the twins bicker and chuckled. This brought back better memories for him. He suddenly realized something. "I haven't introduced myself. My name is Kumizu. It's a pleasure."

Kietaru smiled as Kana began making herself comfortable, she was glad that she wasn't seriously distressed or anything. She leaned against the edge of the hot tub also, relaxing herself. She looked over at the other boy. "I'm sorry, I introduced myself but never really asked your name. And the pleasure is all ours." She said politely elbowing her brother while including him in her sentance, feeling guilty that she'd practically ignored this boy at the beginning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shojuto smiled for the first time in a very long time. "Yes, I am the older one. Kietaru WISHES she was. But I was in fact born a few seconds before her, although my crazy YOUNGER sister apparently remembers it other wise." He said, laughing and emphasizing his words. It was strange, he'd never felt like this before. Laughing, smiling, those things seemed like fantasies to him. But now, around this, girl. He seemed to be doing both. Strange.

His thoughts done, he began to evasdrop on another's conversation. It was then he noticed a familiar sense of power, eyes widening once his found out who it was. He laughed and covered his face, muffling the noise. No way... He found this place as well? He should be glad I follow a system of honor and justice. he smiled a bit as he listened in on thier speech, swimming slightly closer. It was when he heard the familiar pwoer, Kumizu, did he use the heat from the springs and himself to propel himself on his back, towel over his genital area, closer to the male and female speaking. He dropped a bit and grabbed his towel as he walked on the stone bottom of the spring. He palced his towel and arms on a rock, having a clear view of the two people. He spoke ina bored manner, wondering how Kumizu would react, and how the shy girl would as well. Dude... Kumi ya gotta be more aloof bout' this stuff. Can't ya see the push-n'-pull effect you're havin' on her? She wants to confide in ya, but you're pressuin' her too much. Lossen yer grip, man. He rested his right elbow on the rock, chin in his palm, left eye closed and right eye opened.
((EDIT: Bah... I took too logn to psot, and Kumi beat me... Ah well.))

Kana glanced back at Kumizu, tilting her head slightly as she wondered what he was thinking but she decided not to ask. She blinked as she looked back in time to see Kietaru elbow her brother and smiled softly, suddenly wishing she'd had a sibling too. But then she shook her head. No, I've been very lucky in my life... At this thought, she shifted her towel slightly, her eyes widening as she suddenly realized it'd fallen low enough to reveal the scar across her back. She jerked it back up quickly but carefully, hoping no one had seen it.
She blinked back towards the others, trying to distract herself and it seemed to work. She smiled back at Shojuto as he explained again about being older. She couldn't help laughing and covered her mouth quickly as she listened. "Crazy sister?" she grinned, glancing back at Kietaru and pretending to move away. "Should I be nervous?"
Her ear twitched and she looked over suddenly at the male from earlier. She blinked in surprise, not having seen him move closer. She tilted her head, listening to his words, but not quite understanding. As he said 'Kumi' she glanced at Kumizu curiously.
[Edit-That's alright! ^^;;]

Kumizu turned to him and blinked for a moment. He laughed at the last line. "Cal! You sound like I'm trying to pick her up. The last time I saw you, we-" His face fell. "I apologize. For my father as well."
His eyes widened as he made the connection. Kumizu jumped up in the water, his body drying itself in seconds. "Who else has come? Anyone follow you? Is he here?" He looked around, a bit panicked.

Kietaru giggled as Kara repeated Shojuto's crazy sister remark. "Oh no you don't have to worry about MY sanity. I wouldn't hurt a fly, it's Shojuto here who's crazy." She said, about to hit him in the chest, but accidentally hitting him straight in the forehead. "Oops, I guess I just proved myself wrong there." She then began laughing even harder as Shojuto rubbed his head.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shojuto almost fell back in surprise as his sister accidentally hit him in the head with the back of her hand. He began rubbing his forehead. "Wouldn't hurt a fly eh? You sure had to eat your words quickly on that one didn't you, jeeze." He looked at Kana, still smiling, until he saw another guy, who started speaking, and it practically silenced him.

Kana watched curiously as Kumizu headed towards the other male that had just approached, listening in without realizing it, her ears angling themselves automatically. They drooped slightly as Kumizu apologized for something, his face falling. Then she blinked as he began asking frantic questions. She wondered what was going on, but didn't want to invade.
She turned back a bit uneasily to Kietaru as she spoke, and froze in surprise as she suddenly whacked her brother in the head. "Ah-!" she started, then clamped a hand over her mouth in an attempt to keep from laughing. "Ar-are you ok?" she stammered, eyes still wide but shining with mirth. She blinked at Shojuto as he suddenly quieted, tilting her head. "Is... something wrong?"

He laughed at Kumizu's mixed emotions. All he could do was close his eyes in hopes to hide the laughter inside of him. Let me work this backward, to soothe ya easiest. First off, pal, ya might want to get a towel. It's kinda shallow in this end, which is why I'm almsot kneeling down. This rock here is keepin' me afloat. Also, no worries bout' others. The only other's I've seen in the student directory were Shizuki and some other member... Never met him before, but his name is in our guild as well. You're the first Warrior I've seen here, though. And if that's not enough, I've told no one that I joined here. And bout' the mission? Let it go. Dads can piss a lot of people off easily. No worries. Why do you think no oen has met my parents, or why I came to Gaia to escape them? They're nothing but a** pains. And finally, yes, I am quite sure you're tryin' to pick up the ladies. I've tried twice so far, but no avail. But you've seen em'. It's kinda hard not to, aye? He looked over to the female by Kumizu and nodded his head to her. How are ya, ma'am? Kumi-boy here treatin' ya right?

Aly walks up to the hotsprings and smiling slaps a flyer on each of the doors before heading into the girl's section. Aly changes into a dark blue bakini and sets the flyers down, then sighing in content at the prospect of those warm waters grabs a towel and walks out into the coed section. She was surprised to see that it was actually quite crowded. Aly blinks then smiles and walks over to the crowd, setting her towel aside and slipping into the waters as she nods in greeting to them. "Hello all." She didn't know any of them, at least, not yet.

Kumizu felt a little better once Cal had reassured him that only two other people were here. He slipped back into the water. "It really doesn't bother me," he said, referring to the first thing Cal said. "My father is a bit more than an a** pain, but let's leave it at that, shall we? And when did I get the nickname 'Kumi'?" He said that out of curiosity, not anger. He completely ignored Cal's remarks about picking up the two girls here, and he had a small hope that they would too.

Kietaru looked towards the other boy who had pretty much ended their conversation completely. She looked over at her brother and half smiled. "Sorry about that bro, I just don't pay attention sometimes. You know that."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shojuto looked at at Kana. "Oh, no I'm fine. She always does this to me." He smirked, then went straight back to solumn when he realized he's worried her with his instant quietness. "No. Nothing is wrong. I just thought that guy was offending you in some way is all."

Kana stared at the male talking to Kumizu now, listening in as her curiousity didn't allow her to ignore them. Her face held a confused expression as she heard their words and took them in, but didn't truely understand. Her face did blush faintly pink as he mentioned how shallow the water was, and his attempts at 'picking up ladies'. She automatically shifting the towel more tightly around herself. Kana jumped slightly as he spoke directly to her, face flushing darker. "Tr-treating me?" she echoed, eyes widening. She couldn't ignore things like that. It was rare that they were brought up directly to her.
She turned back to the twins, smiling faintly again. "U-um, ok..." she laughed, still sounding a bit uneasy. But she bowed her head slightly at Shojuto's words. "Well, I'm glad..." she murmured, tilting her head as she glanced back at up him. She much preferred when people smiled and at this thought, summoned her smile back as well. "Oh, he's not b-bothering me!" she cried, but the stammer gave it away.
She glanced over as another female entered an offered her a cheerful wave.

Kumizu smiled and shook his head. He didn't think it would bother people that much, but then again, he was a bit more easy-going than most... when he could be.
"I understand, I'm bothering you. I'll go put my clothes back on." He swam back to his towel and cane. He got out, wrapping his towel around his waist. With one hand on it and the other using the cane, he started off to the changing room.

Kumi, you shall always be Kumi to me in a casual sense, just as I am Cal to you in the casual sense. But when we're in our guild, I still have superiority to you, don't froget that. ... Then Cal turned his ehad to the person whom which Kumizu was speakign to beforehand, answering her question, trying to keep up with the both of them. Anyways, miss, Kumi here is a swell guy. Give him time, and I'm sure you'll warm up to him as well. He gave her a small wink and turned his attention to Kumizu once again. Well, bud, I better be goin'. I have to find some alcohol round here... My flames could use a little pick me up, ya dig? Later, man. Stay safe. The he began to wade away to the other side of the spring, away from them, waving before he shot to the other side of pool using steam.
