Test Scene
"Casual Friday" at the Big Hero 6 offices meant that Kikuya cold wear her blue kimono and no makeup. Actually what it meant was that she could wear 'regular' clothing but the idea was horrifying to her. Why, exactly, did women want to encase their legs in heavy blue fabric that made them look as to be walking frozen sausages? She did not understand, though she had made one concession to trend, as it were; she wore black flipflops.

With stockings.

As she walked down the hall the shoes made such a delightful soft little sound hitting against her stockinged feet. Kikuya couldn't help but smile with her eyes.

	"Thank you, Hajime-sama, but I could still improve." She smiled and as he relaxes, she does as well. Soon it is not the water's warmth she notices but that of his skin and she begins to care for his fingers and nails. "How do you feel?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Of everything, his hands are in the worst shape - he has 'climber's hands' - the muscles knotted and the nails worn far down. The only thing that isn't consistent with someone who has spent a lot of time scaling a mountainside are his fingers, where the calluses have been carefully filed down to not kill the sensitivity in deft fingers, which need every bit of that sensitivity to handle a sword with proper finesse.

He can't help but notice her presence as well, occasionally finding himself leaning into her just a little more, trying to correct himself each time without being too abrupt.

His nails and knuckles in particular are going to take a lot of work and massage if they're ever going to be 'gentleman's' hands again. He definitely seems to enjoy the touch and cleaning - and her presence, the smell of her, and the relaxing touch combined with the hot water.

	"It is something that I like deeply about you, Hajime-sama. You understand what it is to be an old youth." Her head rests on his shoulder a moment. It is something of an embrace. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Very, very close. He very nearly turns into the embrace, tempted to kiss her. He scolds himself internally and steels himself, remaining faced forward, but not pulling away in the least. It is not for him to initiate such intimacy, and certainly not here, even as attractive as she is, and after it has been so long since he's felt a woman's touch - he wants to - but he must be proper, lest he insult her and drive her away.

Its still a few moments of internal battle before he recalls her words enough to respond. "The same, and yet different. You have lived in this world, seen it change, for almost a century. I have but a few years in this world - and many centuries on the mountain where nothing ever changed save the pattern of snows on the mountain. Still... so much of this is so new to me."

	There is a quiet sigh of pleasure. That may not be traditional yuna treatment, but the last thing he's going to do is object.

He's heard of such a thing, usually only for a tremendous price or as a favor from a daimyo or the like - and even then, it required negotiating with the owner of the tea house. And he's known this woman only a short time - and yet - its both comfortable, and an irrefusable offer, even if he wished to.

There's another long pause as he tries to make sure he heard her right. "You would wish to... to become as mine?"

"No... I mean yes... I mean..."

He doesn't get flustered often. He had a good education, his mother knew her way around court. He learned from numerous masters, and the Karasu were sticklers for... perfection in everything, really. At the moment, however, he can't help it.

He takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself, and find the clearest answer he can.

This time he does not hesitate in kissing her back, since she initiated it, and is clearly supremely comfortable with him for reasons he's not quite clear on. The age obviously helps, and treating her like a geisha instead of a prostitute probably didn't hurt. Still, he's surprised... but almost overwhelmingly pleasantly so.

He's not the best kisser - ages out of practice, but not completely inexperienced either, and still taking this slowly, appreciating the sensual nature of the kiss amidst the warm water and her touch, pressing lightly back against her.

It is a delicate dance to kiss with intention but not to be forceful, to draw one in so that the promise is not delivered entirely with one embrace. Her own experience limited she is grateful that he is taking things slowly but the longer they kiss, the more she wants and despite her care and efforts, the desire bleeds through in how she presses herself to him.

	Very, very difficult to have patience, even for him. But the bath is not the proper place - it is for getting clean, not such relations. Still, he has to take a deep breath, compose himself a moment before keeping that in mind and giving the 'correct' answer. "We can... retire." he says, standing and turning to offer her a hand so she won't slip in the tub. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She takes his hand and smiles at him. He was a gentleman, not that she didn't know that already, but it was confirmed and she was overjoyed.

Kikuya got out of the bath first, picking up her kimono and draping it on herself before quickly getting the kimono waiting for him and bringing it to him as he left the bath.

As she helps him into it, she presses a kiss to neck.

Even in this situation, there's no rush - everything must be perfect. And despite the physical rush, the urge to hurry things, he understands all the more why samurai so often grew infatuated with a favorite geisha - he certainly has, in only a day.

He adjusts the kimono, making sure it is just so, even if its only a resting garment, then bows. "Please do, I will attend you when you say you are ready."

The hotel is not perfectly traditional. As such the bed is a bit more than the typical mattress on the floor. Instead, it is a slender platform with the mattress upon it so there is little for her to prepare but she does what she can. The blanket and pillows are carefully arranged and then she lights incense before dimming the lights. Her hands tremble, and she is glad that he cannot see that. She wants to be perfect.

Her kimono is discarded, neatly folded to be put on in the morning and she waits for him, her long thick hair falling over one shoulder.

"Hajime-sama, I am ready."

He enters the room, having readied himself as best he could, amazed at, amongst other things, how much more refreshed he's feeling from it all.

In the future, perhaps, he'll have her assist with undressing him as well, but he doesn't want to ruin this vision of her, wants to commit it perfectly to memory, taking in every inch of her.

He removes his kimono, folding it neatly, his eyes never leaving her. Setting the garment aside carefully, he joins her on the low bed.

He returns the kiss gently, pressing his body to hers, pushing back the desire to rush, not wanting to ruin a second that can be savored.

His fingertips move to her hip, the barest whisper of a trace of skin against skin, the way he would examine silk to determine its fitness for a saya, sliding his fingers upward slowly over the gentle slope of that hip and towards her waist while savoring the taste of her lips.

	His touch draws a shiver from her as she kisses him as she turns herself just so, so that nothing of her is out of his reach.

His back, like his chest, bears the scars of many lifetimes worth of hard training, an intricate network that he usually is careful to keep hidden, all open to exploration by her fingertips.

He never breaks the kiss, incresing the pressure just slightly while his fingers move with agonizing slowness, his mind conflicted between savoring her, and every second with her, and appreciating every instant of the gift she's offered, and wanting to touch, feel, do everything at once. Patience wins out, his fingertips sliding over the curve of her hip and up her side.

His patience is maddening to her and she kisses him with more intention, a soft whimper lost against his lips as his fingers move slowly, slowly, slowly up her side. She can feel her heart racing in her chest and this close, she is certain he can feel it as well.

As his fingers slide over her, her own dance gently over his scars. They are hers now, each touch a claim and a promise that later she will kiss every single mark.
