Day 3, LE (The Sea Fox) - Ship Ship Ship (expecting)

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"Yeah, they were just members of my crew. It was hard to find quality musicians on short notice. Especially when I'm not from around here."

He smiled. "Still thanks, I've not a lot of experience at singing, it's not really something I'm called on to do too often after all." He nodded his thanks as she refilled his cup. "I was delighted to see Kakita-san dance as well, she's promised me something of a performance tomorrow too."

[Kitsuki Naida]

"A performance? Hm. That really would be something. Some sort of public thing then, or am I not invited?"

She smiled wryly at him as she picked up the dice cup and slowly started shaking it.

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"Hrm, I hadn't thought about inviting guests." He admitted with a wry smile. "Though I suppose I could, if you're interested." Having two people there could keep him out of trouble.

"Han." He offered as she started shaking the cup. "I do believe she had something a bit more private in mind." Or at least that was what Yuuwaku had led him to believe earlier. "If it's the right person, i can't imagine one more is a problem though."

[Kitsuki Naida]

"A private performance from a beautiful woman? Are you sure you should be allowing people to come to such an opportunity?"

"Cho. Now then, truth or dare, Tsuruchi-san; Either tell me what you meant by me 'being your plaything', or take off a piece of clothing yourself."

...she really was enjoying herself too much. But it was a good distraction, and she thought the Yoritomo a handsome, interesting man. Was that not worth fudging the dice a bit?

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"You do make a good point there." He agreed before his lips spread into a toothy grin. "But it would leave me in a private place with two beautiful women. Something a lot of men might envy."

"Mmm, that's an interesting choice." He replied thoughtfully before reaching up a hand and untying the strip of cloth that kept his hair tied back. It fell down around his shoulders and he shook his head a few times to help it settle into place.

Dropping the cloth on the table, he offered her a smile. "That seems a bit like cheating. So I'll add that for starters it meant the the dice seemed to favor me stripping you naked. At that's what my initial thoughts were."

[Kitsuki Naida]

"Cheating, hm? You just seemed so put out when the dice went your way earlier, and I wanted to hear what you meant so badly..."

She trailed off before taking another sip.

"Anyways, I accept that maybe I was a bit hasty. I just wanted to get to the good stuff before I had to much wine, neh?"

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"Well, I'd have to admit then it was mostly a turn of phrase." He offered with an amused chuckle. "I was just saying that the dice seemed to be in my favor, and I might be able to get as many dares out of you as I wished to."

He picked up his cup and took a sip. "Which...." a bit of red touched his cheeks. "Led in a certain direction. Like daring you to show me how exactly you tasted someone. Or daringvyou to come sit in my lap."

"You'll have to forgive me as I have a rather one track mind this evening." He smirked. "Even now I'm pondering what you mean by the good stuff."

[Kitsuki Naida]

A small laugh, "If you're wondering all that, I will strip off any remaining Dragon mystery and say I would be most happy if your next dare were for me to unfold your futon and lie on it with the rest of my clothes done away with. I like you, Tsuruchi-san, and I have no reason not to say straight out that I would like to seek comfort in your arms and get a little closer to you. Both to help me unwind and to maybe learn a bit more about someone I already find fascinating. If it's too quick for you, I understand. But I think what two adults do in the privacy of a ship cabin doesn't need to be judged like that."

Another small sip.

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

Well that was frank, and not exactly what he was expecting. Still he couldn't deny his wish was much the same. "On any other day it might indeed be too quick for me." He admitted honestly, you happened to catch me on a day thats far from ordinary though.

Moving his hand towards the dice on the table, he turned the one to a two. "Han." He left his eyes drift to Naida's "I believe thats your loss, and you already know what my dare is." He finished as he rosecto his feet.

[Kitsuki Naida]

"Truly then, I am lucky where it counts."

She smiled warmly and stood, walking over to his futon and laying it out smoothly, "I don't know if it's your singing or your kindness or how handsome I think you are, but I just want to get lost in you. If that's selfish of me, then call me selfish. I wouldn't blame Kakita-san if that was what she wished too."

Still in her chest-wrap and fundoshi, the tallish Dragon woman sat down on the futon once it was out.

"Then again, maybe I just feel like a teenager today; Staying out late after a party, drinking with a cute man and playing truth or dare... it's like what people always think happens at a dojo when things are slow."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"I think that we are all selfish from time to time, so I'm not going to blame you for it. Especially after that string of compliments." He watched her as she moved, drinking in her form with his eyes for a few moments. She was quite the beautiful woman herself.

Taking the time that she was unrolling the futon to remove his own kimono he made his way closer. "Are you going to leave your socks on?" He asked as he leaned in his hand reaching toward her check so he could guide her lips into a brief kiss before he settled in at her side."

"Those days of youth at school then?' He asked with a smirk, they weren't so far away at least for him. "I suppose this is kind of like them, though with less chance of getting caught." He finished his moving onto her naked thigh.

[Kitsuki Naida]

"Mmmmm... which is certainly a good thing. This is time for just you, me, and your lovely little cabin."

She put her hands on his waist as she looked a bit up at him, "As to the socks... would you prefer I leave them on? I do think I look rather cute in them, if I do say so myself, so I wouldn't be opposed."

The Kitsuki wiggled her toes a bit in said socks.

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"They are quite cute." He admitted, his eyes focusing on her socks for a few moments. "So we'll leave them on and just take off everything else?"

"It seems like the thing awkward teenagers would do." Which helped somewhat as the Captain wasn't really far from one. His gaze shifted to her hands on his waist, and he pushed gently on her shoulder, letting her hands guide them both down onto the futon, if that's what she wished for.

[Kitsuki Naida]

And it was; She laid back, hands still on him lightly, looking up at him more as her head met the cushioned bed.

"They're yours to take off, Captain~"

Truth? She wasn't too far from an awkward teenager herself. Less far than she would have liked to believe about herself.

"The rest I mean, not the socks. Consider me your gift since I didn't bring anything to contribute to the party, neh? And I'd love for you to unwrap me~"

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"Gift's like this are going to spoil me." He breathed before moving in to seal her lips with his in a lingering kiss. His hands moved across her skin searching out the end of her chest wrap so he could free her breasts form their confines. "Not that I object to be spoiled." HE finished as he shifted his weight and pulled away from her lips. It'd be easier to unwrap the cloth if he was kneeling.

Easier to see her to in the dim light of his cabin too. Which is something he wanted to do as he stripped away the las of the clothe that vocered the young woman. Gazing for a moment after he was finished before removing the last vestiges of his own clothing. He should probably say something, but further words wouldn't come to his mind as he moved in to truly begin to tasting his present.

/ftb?

[Kitsuki Naida]

"Then I shall continue to spoil you, my Captain."

The chest wrap fell away, and Naida pulled the Tsuruchi in to her embrace...

/ftb

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

It was some time later when things ended and exhaustion tugged at Shouji that the scene returned. He'd told himself he wasn't going to do this type of thing on the ship, but he'd worry about that later. Shifting onto his elbow he turned his gaze to the woman beside him. His free hand reached out to brush his fingers across her belly, and he offered her a smile. "I don't know about you but I can use some water."

He wasn't sure if that was the right thing to say, but it seemed better then some awkward compliment.

[Kitsuki Naida]

"Mmm... well, I'm afraid I didn't think to bring water, only wine. Will that do?"

Naida shifted onto her side to more fully face Shouji, along with the table where the abandoned cups and dice were.

"I could use something myself, certainly, but I can understand if you don't need more alcohol. I for one would like to keep my senses and memory sharp right now. Still, a bit couldn't hurt, neh?"

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

He left his hand drift from her belly to her hip as Naida turned to face him him. "A bit wouldn't hurt, that's for certain. He agreed with a a smile, bringing his face close to hers so he could continue softly. "But I would be a liar if I would you I didn't keep water in my room."

He leaned in to brush his lips aganist hers. "So we can drink a bit of wine or move to water, your choice."

[Kitsuki Naida]

That actually got a snerk of held in laughter, "...why is there something so funny about keeping water on a boat? I know there's something about not wanting to drink sea water, but I guess I'm just easily amused by the idea, being so far from the sea."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"Not wanting to is actually closer to can't." The Captain explained as he slipped away from the woman to walk over to a nearby cabinet. "Drinking sea water makes you sick. Something about it just won't let it settle in your belly."

He knelt down and undid a latch holding closed one of the doors and pulled out a small cask. Tapping at the side of the lid the wood shifting slightly and allowing him to remove it. He fished out a measure of water from the cask with a tin cup and took a long drink, before refilling the cup and bringing it to Naida. "Here." He offered with a smile. "The most precious commodity on a naval vessel. Fresh water."

[Kitsuki Naida]

"Thank you; I actually would have preferred this to more wine anyways."

Sitting up fully Naida straightened her hair a little before taking to cup from Shouji and taking a long drink.

"Fresh water is one of the few things Dragon lands usually have in abundant supply. If you don't count rocks."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"Does anyone count the rocks?" He asked his tone amused, his eyes focused on the woman before him.

"It's common in Mantis Islands as well, at least on the islands we can inhabit. Some we just can't, nothing go drink means no one can live there." It was the simple facts of the matter.

[Kitsuki Naida]

"Is there no way to make sea water into fresh water? ...I wonder if the Dragon could start exporting snow to the Mantis; It's like water, but more easily portable, after all. Though I suspect it would melt long before it got there."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"Not that I know of, though perhaps a trained Shugenja could do such a thing." He had no clue who else might be able to do it.

At the mention of snow he smiled. "That would be a thing to see, though you're likely right about it melting. Dragon lands are a good distance from the sea."
