Rain goes into the training room the next day with new determination to do well and learn quickly. Sure Sky's idea of taking it easier on him, had still left him stiff and sore yesterday. That hadn't been so bad actually, it had earned him another one of those wonderful massages from P'Phayu. Today Rain is working with P'Pai on his first defense classes. It made Rain a little nervous, he had taken the required classes in highschool and had been unusually bad at them. It didn't help that Rain was a klutz at the best of times.

Rain and P'Pai are both dressed in loose fitting clothes that reminds Rain slightly of the gi they had worn in his school classes only the cut is different. Rain bounces up from the mat with a grin. Somehow P'Pai makes these lessons fun even though Rain has been thrown down so many times he is sure his backside is sporting permanent bruises.

Rain had even managed to block P'Pai's attack once. Sure P'Pai had been slightly distracted by Sky coming into the room but Rain will take that as a win.

"Again," Rain says.

"Rain, I think that's enough for today." P'Phayu says from the side of the mat.

Rain pouts but doesn't argue. It's getting late anyway and P'Phayu has promised to take Rain to show him something special before dinner.

The something special turns out to be what appears to be an unusually shaped hot tub but instead of water there is a green tinted viscous liquid bubbling in the star shaped pool. At each point in the "star" there is a small shelf like seat where a person could sit just soaking their legs and feet in the liquid.

"Oh, but I don't have a swimsuit with me," Rain laments.

P'Phayu gives him a smirk, "None required. It's only the two of us here, these are my private baths. Pai and Sky have their own bath area near their quarters."

"P'Phayu!" Rain squeaks.

"There is no need to be embarrassed, I am familiar with every inch of you remember." P'Phayu says. "Look, I'll even turn my back and let you get in first." He makes a show of turning away.

Rain points a finger at him, "No peeking!"

P'Phayu's lips upturn at this but he closes his eyes tight. Rain also turns away and strips out of his clothes. He lowers himself into the liquid, it comes up to his waist and it feels wonderful. Once he is in, he is satisfied to see that the green tint makes it impossible to see anything below the surface.

"Okay ready." Rain calls.

P'Phayu turns and sees Rain already in the hot tub. He starts unbuttoning his own shirt and Rain looks away quickly. 'No peeking." P'Phayu says with an amused tone and Rain knows he is being teased.

He hears P'Phayu as he steps in the tub and feels the way the strange liquid moves. It feels almost sensuous the way it laps around his body. Rain refuses to look at P'Phayu now that they are here together and he feels the man move up behind him, too close. If Rain was to move back even a little bit his back would be against P'Phayu's broad chest. When Rain still refuses to look around P'Phayu places a hand on his shoulder and gently trails it down his arm. "Rain look at me." Rain shakes his head suddenly feeling very shy.

P'Phayu moves back, "I guess the good boy doesn't want the reward he has earned for working so hard then."

Rain's head jerks around at this. "What reward?"

"I was going to reward such a good boy with a kiss." P'Phayu says letting regret tint his voice. "But a certain sweet boy doesn't seem to want it."

"I do," Rain whines.
