Expected guests (Day 4 Late Evenng)

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

Two nights in a row? Well, there was worse things, and worse ways to spend his time. His hand on her waist pulled her a bit closer as his opposite came up to help guides their lips together as he dipped in for a kiss.

"When I need to be." He replied as their lips parted. "Though I i should say I still expect to see a dance." Shouji added, his tone teasing.

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

"I am a woman of my word, my captain," Yuuwaku says, and pulls away to stand.

The dance she dances is all unlike that she had shown previously. Slithering, sinuous, sensuous, yes, and with convenient gaps opening in her kimono to show her shapely calves and delicate collarbones.

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

He sat back and enjoyed the show, his eyes drifting towards the gaps she let show. He hadn't exactly meant now, but he wasn't going to argue either.

When the dance seemed to near it's end he rose to his feet and moved to cross the space between them. "That was beautiful." Shouji offered, arm snaking out in an attempt to catch the Crane woman.

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

Yuuwaku smiles, and in another situation, she might laugh lightly as she takes a surprisingly wide step and pirouettes away from the outstretched hand. The hem of her robes lifts as she does, again showing her graceful calves to him.

And then she is behind him, her hand on the back of his arm, her breath warm against his back.

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

He turned to face her, fighting down the urge to laugh himself as he wondered if she would try to escape again. Or if there was another plan in mind.

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

Yuuwaku steps back, bowing gracefully, and says "Already, Tsuruchi-sama dances better than many partners I've had."

She rises, smiling, the joy of the dance itself doing much to allay her earlier consternation.

"But surely he can do better, yet."

And she adroitly opens more distance, as the cabin allows.

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"Perhaps i can." He murmured in reply, and instead of moving towards here stepped to the side, in an attempt at least to start circling her.

Given the size of the cabin it wasn't as easy Maneuver but he did what he could, keeping an eye on Yuuwaku all the while to see how she may move.

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

No fighter, Yuuwaku, she opens her arms broadly, invitingly.

"Show me," she says, and stops in her stance.

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

He smirked at that, stepping in quickly to close the distance. His hand moving up to brush against her cheek, before wrapping around the back of her head, his fingers in her hair.

Their was strength in his grip as he pulled her close the Captain wasn't a weak man after all. He wasn't forceful not truly but his grip was controlling as he dipped in angling her lips towards his.

He didn't kiss her though not yet. His lips moving towards her ear to whisper. "Only because you asked so nicely." Shouji said his tone teasing as his lips sought the skin just under her ear along her his other hand to move up to tug at the hem of her kimono pulling it down off her shoulder.

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

Yuuwaku bites her lip to stifle herself as she responds to Shouji's hand. Her own hands reach out and find him, one pulling his head more firmly down toward her, the other finding his hip and doing much the same. Her body ripples against his.

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

His hand moved from the hem of her kimono, sliding down her back, over her but to her upper thigh, where he lifted. Pulling the small woman against him and likely off her feet as his lips sought the skin of her neck where it met her shoulder.

His feet turned, his eyes looking up for a moment to search out the table before taking a careful step towards it.

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

He will have a bit of an awkward time of it as Yuuwaku's leg snakes around him, holding her up and to him as he strikes for his target.

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

Some time later.

Shouji straightened his collar, clothing had been shifted rather then removed given the circumstances. Which hadn't of course made anything any less enjoyable...

It'd still of course be obvious what then had done if anyone came in during the next few minutes. Hopefully though that could be avoided. They had managed enough time for the act after all.

"I don't know how we didn't knock over the kettle." He mused as he glanced towards the table.

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

"Skill, my captain," Yuuwaku purrs. "Sheer skill."

She adjusts her own clothing back into place. But I am going to have to rework the wrappings, she thinks as she smiles warmly.

"I hope you will, what was it, pull into port again. I'd love to receive you."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

The openness of that brought a flush to his cheeks, but he answered anyway. "It's a port I'd enjoy returning to." He admitted taking a slow breath to calm himself.

"Given the opportunity." Even if it wasn't the only port he'd been docking at.

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

"Oh, I think I could accommodate," Yuuwaku says. "And I don't expect that you'd not call in other harbors, unless you'd expect to be the only ship that sails."

She makes more adjustments to her clothing, begins to adjust her hair. "Tell me, do you often land near Tsuma?"

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"There are quite a few attractive ports here, and I'd be lying if I told you I didn't expect to spend some time in another." He didn't really mind her having other lovers either.

"As for Tsuma? I spend most of my time along the coast. I head up river from time to time though. If I have sufficient reason."

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

"You're not wrong about the scenery," Yuuwaku admits, adjusting a bit more. That should do it, she thinks.

"I am glad to know it about Tsuma, though," she adds. "As I said, I appreciate the tea; I think it would do well at the Academy and in the town."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

Seeing her finished with her adjustments, Shouji took a few moments to look her over before offering a nod of approval.

"Transporting some there might be an aide in making it a trip worth making, and I am sure a few other things can be found to make it doubly so." His smile was a bit amused as he continued.

"Aside from the fact there will be one welcoming port there and the chance at quite a few that are just as pretty from your words."

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

"So eager to offload your cargo?" Yuuwaku teases. "But I doubt not a dashing captain would find welcome, there as elsewhere."

She looks at him, moves hair behind his ear. "That's better. A captain must look ready for command."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

He smiled at her touch. "Going to pretty me up then?" The young man teased in return his hand coming up to his jaw to rub it thoughtfully.

"As for being in a hurry, not particularly. I'm mostly curious what your other thoughts were for having me come to Tsuma. We enjoy each other's company, but I am sure it couldn't be just that."

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

"Well," Yuuwaku replies, "I do mean it about the tea."

She pauses, considering. "And I know that I have benefited, even in so short a time, from seeing what other Clans offer and do. I have to think that others at the Academy would similarly benefit--from that, and from having ready audiences. I imagine that the...confinement aboard ship prompts a hunger for novelty."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"I know." He replied with a smile at the mention of the tea.

The rest of the explanation received a nod. "It does at that." Shouji admitted after a moment. "As much as I do enjoy my current life, there are some areas that can be considered lacking."

"It's why it's important to take the time to come to shore and see whats offered. The same faces doing the same actions day after day can be redundant."

[Kakita Yuuwaku]

"So, there you go," Yuuwaku says.

A smile that is almost a leer graces her lips as she adds "One wonders what kind of variety Tsuruchi-sama appreciates, as well."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

He couldn't help but chuckle at that. "You will just have to wait and see, won't you?" Though in all likelihood he wouldn't be all that surprising... Probably.

"Maybe you can come see first hand sometime." He teased.
