Who: Jae-Ha & Hazel
What: Hot springs episode pt 2
When: 5/9 evening
Where: Some hot springs
Warnings: ok now there is sin do not look

[Jae-Ha is probably a little too quick in changing. It's nice to feel like he doesn't have to worry about his leg for the time being, so long as Hazel is here, and so he ties off the little towel at his hip and reaches up to remove his hair ribbon while leaning back a bit to try and check if Hazel has finished yet.]

Don't stall, now, or I'll have some wine without you. [Clearly they're not here to be responsible or follow any of the rules. That's just fine. It's just the two of them in this quiet little spot, and even if it weren't, it wasn't as if they had to worry about being seen. So much has been happening that's just terrible, and so it's important to indulge in things like this, isn't it?

With that in mind, he barely waits a minute after he's set his ribbon with the rest of his clothes to round the corner into the next area, grabbing at Hazel's waist. Hello, what is privacy or personal space, no one needs that here.]

Ready?

[Stall, please, what does he have to stall with when he's already made enough noise about not putting on the yukata or the "unnecessary shoes"? Nothing, frankly, but since he's moving at the speed of a normal person, he's still finishing up with tying his little towel when Jae-Ha zooms over and grabs at him. Hello, yes, he's not stalling!!]

Can't even gimme a minute to make sure the towel's in order, can ya? [Gosh... He reaches up to pat Jae-Ha's cheek anyway, fondly.] Grab the wine and things and we'll be all set.

[The Texas Bag is here for its second impressive showing, just off to the side where he'd put it down.]

[razzledazzles]

[Jae-Ha smiles at both the words and the cheek pat, slipping back and away only after a moment of lingering that probably wastes more time than anything else.]

I've got it. [Leaning down, he picks it up. It's fine to just take this whole thing in and leave it to the side, it's easier like this.] There must be plenty of ways to enjoy this experience that we didn't get to manage before. Even if I already admired the view...

[He glances from out at the actual springs back over his shoulder to Hazel with a smirk. Nice view. Come on, he'll wait here until Hazel is at his side to keep walking.]

[churchbelle]

[Wow, should he pose? Look at him and his tiny towel some more, thanks. Hazel sidles up beside him, looping an arm around his waist since he's busy holding that bag. Let's go, let's go.]

And this time nobody has to be drunk to get a lil affectionate. [Not that he had to, mind, but it was a convenient excuse. Very convenient.] This ain't exactly the place for it, but ya do know how to swim, right?

[tdl: push Jae-Ha in the ocean]

[razzledazzles]

[Thank goodness nobody has to be drunk. Though they can drink as much as they want to, anyway... He walks like this with Hazel to the edge of the water finding a nice spot to carefully set this Texas bag down as he nods.]

Of course. [He would have assumed this even if he never went in any bodies of water just because it Makes Sense somehow.] Why do you ask?

[churchbelle]

Just curious. It's gonna be summer soon. [In 3:1 where hell is empty] We could go for a dip sometime.

[They can go back to that lake and not set anything on fire this time!! Maybe. Hazel waits just a second after the Texas bag is officially set down to get into the water, immediately sinking all the way under so he can do that awful thing to his hair when he comes back up.]

Y'know, assumin' nobody tries to knock the whole heavens down, or somethin'.

[razzledazzles]

A dip! [Is that what they call swimming, how cute.] Yes, that sounds like it could be nice.

[So long as it's just relaxing and having fun, the water is nice. He doesn't have to worry about having anything to jump off of. For now, he stands at the edge and looks down at Hazel, amused at him immediately doing that to his hair. Gosh... It's still cute, somehow.]

You look like you're attempting to model when you run your hands through your hair like that. [He has not gotten into the water, why is he like this.]

[churchbelle]

[What's wrong with dip!! Leave him alone or he'll really get shoved in the lake like four times. For now he just looks up at Jae-Ha, upside down from here... does he try to see under his towel? A little, can't deny it.]

I could cut it in the magazines, don't ya think? Come down here already.

[razzledazzles]

Certainly.

[He sees that peeking, crouching down to cup a hand into the water and splash Hazel. Here, he's down here now, splashing into the water shortly after and resurfacing with a hand through his own hair.]

But what about me? ♥

[churchbelle]

[Um?? Don't splash, that's rude. Hazel leans away with a reflexive splash back that does nothing as Jae-Ha is splashing all over again!! But hmm, he can admire this display, sure.]

I'd put ya right on the cover, for sure.

[razzledazzles]

We could star together. [His bangs fall right back into his face, and he laughs, moving back over to the edge of the water to cross his arms over it. He can relax, just like this.]

Now, what shall we do with all of this free time? The steam is already so relaxing. Come closer and help me think of where we should start. [Start with what?? Like, drinking or various word games or who knows what they'll want to do.]

[churchbelle]

[What a great idea... Pages 1-2 will be work safe and nothing else,]

Aren't we just enjoyin' the evenin'? [He says this, but of course he's sliding over to bump against Jae-Ha and loop an arm around him under the water. Hey.]

Give it a couple minutes, we've got all night.

[razzledazzles]

We are enjoying the evening.

[With Hazel so close now, he uncrosses one of his arms to loop around his shoulders instead. He's just a little restless mentally, honestly. While normally he wouldn't need to be so energetic, he's eager for a distraction, and it's much easier to be distracted by something a little more active than trying to relax. Even with Hazel at his side.

Still, he can enjoy this, and he can smile and relax a little more as he leans against him.]

If I stay silent for too long, I may fall asleep right here.

[churchbelle]

Well, we can't have that. [He shifts even closer, squeezing his arm around Jae-Ha and considering what they can talk about... He'd be just fine sitting here in comfortable silence, but it seems like the "comfortable" part might be Jae-Ha's struggle tonight.

So.] Ever play "would ya rather"?

[razzledazzles]

[Comfortable silence is hard sometimes!! He hums at that game name.]

I can't say that I have, but it doesn't sound too complicated. Explain it to me.

[churchbelle]

[Oh boy!!]

Well, I'll give ya two things, and your job's pickin' which one you'd rather do.

[why did he ask,]

[razzledazzles]

That sounds plenty exciting. We take turns, then? [Discussion about what they'd rather do, this could go interesting places. And it would certainly distract his mind from any other thoughts, leaving him with more time relaxing.]

Go ahead and start, then.

[churchbelle]

[Here it goes, the dumbest game ever played—]

Alright, how about would ya rather give up drinkin' or— [uhhh] those lil dragon statues ya like so much? Forever.

[it's obvious he has no friends]

[razzledazzles]

[WAIT A MINUTE]

What sort of cruel question is that? I don't want to give up either! [Jae-Ha struggles with this game immediately.]

[churchbelle]

[Jae-Ha... babe.]

It's just a game, sweetheart.

[razzledazzles]

But you chose those options. Do you have a problem with my statues?

[Hmph!! But alright, he considers this, resting his chin against the rocks as he blinks.]

The statues would lose out in the end, I suppose. I enjoy drinking too much.

[churchbelle]

[Babe...]

I'm just choosin' what comes to mind, honest. [Anyway,] But that's what I figured, so it's your turn.

[razzledazzles]

[He has a problem with the statues, doesn't he!! He's only mildly curious, though, really. But still—]

Hmm... Would you rather give up grits, or styling your hair like that?

[churchbelle]

[The eyes follow him everywhere in the room!! Anyway—]

Grits. My hair looks good done like this.

[razzledazzles]

...But your hair always looks good.

[Is he trying to change his mind? Maybe a little.]

[churchbelle]

[He's cute, but Hazel loves his terrible old man hairstyle.]

That includes doin' it like this, y'know.
