ʺoh goodness, this bathhouse is simply... heaven! why didn't you say so before? i would have visited.ʺ
⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀ ──── ( @undertakr ) 〝 ah, because it never came up in conversation! though better later than never, at least you're here now! ＂
ohhh, i’d be in trouble if i walked in here, huh? your customers don’t seem to fond of me.
@spirituaIs: that’s good, i was getting worried considering how quickly everyone seemed to walk out. i hope i’m not disturbing your business? but, i was hoping you’d help me with ..something? ^^
⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀ ──── ( @6THEYES ) i assure you it's not that! your cursed energy output just seems to be overwhelming to them. but that's nothing a relaxing bath in the onsen can't fix!

︶︶︶︶︶ she cares deeply for both her bathhouse and patrons alike, but the opposite can be said for others who wish to cause harm and disrupt the peace of her sanctum. those types of unwelcome guests are promptly dealt with, disappearing without a trace and never to be heard from again.
︶︶︶︶︶ and though the reports and rumors of people gone missing and mysterious deaths may surround her establishment, she still hopes to do her job as an owner correctly, and will offer the best hospitality she possibly can.
⠀⠀ ──. ⠀[ HAVE YOU HEARD
THE RUMOR .ᐣ ]
︶︶︶︶︶ it's said that if one were to become lost long enough within a deep forest or mountain, a bathhouse is said to seemingly appear out of nowhere, with its owner urging witnesses of such a sight to come inside.
︶︶︶︶︶ a beautiful sea of varying flora is what first greets visitor's vision who happen to stumble upon her humble establishment — it creating an alluring atmosphere for those who can percieve it.
︶︶︶︶︶ despite the very little amount of visitors she encounters, she opens her doors and welcomes those who wish to seek temporarily rest — her bathhouse acting as a place of respite for lost souls of any kind.

“ are they still looking for you? the ipc. i was expecting they would have shown themselves after your resignation. “
a small frown encompasses,⠀“ it is hardly your fault sera, i was already a threat in the first place. “⠀to think she's still blaming herself for it truly saddens him. his fingers squeezed and reciprocated their intertwined state, to offer a bit of comfort for her. ⠀“ i.. apologize. i shouldn't have mentioned it. “
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ཾ∗ ꒰⠀@capturisque⠀❩̩̩͙ ཻ̩͙⠀ ˎ- 〝 well that's good. as long as they're not causing you any trouble because of me ＂ a sigh of relief could be heard from her, not realizing she was previously holding her breath in anticipation for bad news. sera's head rest on avil's shoulder with a soft thud as she intertwined her digits with his
“ isn't that strange? to think they haven't taken full action to it.. “ ⠀pondering awhile, its interrupted that it earns a scoff to mentioned notion of her query. ⠀“ they would not ask me. i highly doubt it, considering that they find me dangerous. i would not be surprised if they would go as far as to set me up with a bounty on my head. “
“ this particular... clothing- “ ⠀his gaze drops at the attire. scrutinized ──it's surely a sight, it was difficult not to look away. avil wasn't one to shy away from it despite the cream of her skin being mostly exposed. ⠀“ i was not expecting this kind of arrangement for your shooting, but since it is your request how can a photographer refuse his client? “
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ཾ∗ ꒰⠀@capturisque⠀❩̩̩͙ ཻ̩͙⠀ ˎ- 〝 how do you expect yourself to work properly with that problem of yours down there now? ＂ she questioned just as quietly back before swiftly flipping their positions over so she now straddled his waist. teasing yet intentional pressure was set against avil's erection as she slowly grinded against it, making sure to take her time as her hands trailed up his abdomen at an equally slow pace〝 if you want me to help, all you have to do is ask avi. i'll be more than happy to give you a hand you know~ ＂
“ you are the one who stirs me in such ways. “ with his body now against hers, the tented erection to his trousers had insistently pressed to her thigh. he grinds, although slow─╴its deliberate, for her to feel.⠀ “ mmh, see what you do to me? “ the whisper is akin to a ghostly touch against the soft skin of her collarbone. he lowers the waistband, a mere fraction however.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ཾ∗ ꒰⠀@capturisque⠀❩̩̩͙ ཻ̩͙⠀ ˎ- 〝 hah, so greedy~ ＂ she commented with lightly rolling eyes as her arms moved to loop around his neck before pulling him down to properly lay over her〝 what am i supposed to do with you and your teasing? not to mention how insatiable you can be behind closed doors too ＂
“ poor thing. asking is an option, don't you think that is the only way for you to.. save yourself? “ ⠀really, avil attempts not to laugh but a fleeting snicker comes past his lips. ⠀“ ehem, you're covered in an array of colors.. i take it that it's the spray paints doing? “
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ཾ∗ ꒰⠀@capturisque⠀❩̩̩͙ ཻ̩͙⠀ ˎ- 〝 i can't hear you~! ＂ her tickling only continued as she now begun to smother his face in kisses, her actions eventually softening into more gentle ministrations with her now humming a sweet tune〝 hah, who knew you were surprisingly ticklish. wouldn't have expected that ＂
a thud comes from the impact, body landing against the flat surface of the floor. avil's laughter resounds, while hands instinctively grabs onto her hips—likely to pry the blonde off his anatomy. ⠀“ i will make you─–ahaha! ..regret this- “ ⠀though the warning was weak due to her playful ministrations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ཾ∗ ꒰⠀@capturisque⠀❩̩̩͙ ཻ̩͙⠀ ˎ- 〝 you and your pretty and pristine face.. i'll show you! ＂ she was quick to exclaim one the photographer was close enough before tackling avil to the floor. her digits begun to tickle as his sides as she left light nips along his face and neck with a mischievous laugh〝 i'll keep going until your sides hurt from laughing so much! ＂
ʿʿ could you be a darling for me and close your eyes for just a moment? ʾʾ
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ཾ∗ ꒰⠀@capturisque⠀❩̩̩͙ ཻ̩͙⠀ ˎ- 〝 boo, you're leaving me in suspense? so cruel ＂ she feigned a hurt expression while closing her eyes, a smile later appearing on features — looking forward to whatever avil had planned on giving her
ʿʿ i won't tell you. you'll just have to be patient to find out. ʾʾ
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ཾ∗ ꒰⠀@capturisque⠀❩̩̩͙ ཻ̩͙⠀ ˎ- 〝 uh, sure. but why am i closing my eyes in the first place?? ＂
" relax, " ⠀he murmured, amusement threading his voice. ⠀" it’s only me.. or did i startle you? " ⠀avil let out a quiet chuckle as his arms slipped around her waist from behind, unhurried and familiar. he lingered there, clearly enjoying the closeness──teasing her not out of mischief alone, but because her reaction pleased him.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ཾ∗ ꒰⠀@capturisque⠀❩̩̩͙ ཻ̩͙⠀ ˎ- 〝 you want to continue?? ＂ she voiced her thoughts aloud without realizing, digits closing loosely around the hand that grasped her own. how was she supposed to respond in a way that made her seem nonchalant-? she didn't want to seem like a fumbling fool in front of avil after all!〝 uhhh, do /you/ want to kiss me again? ＂ idiot- of course he does! he wouldn't be asking for permission otherwise! aeons above free her from her own stupidity!〝 i mean, no-brainer, of course you do- ＂ she let out a sigh to compose herself〝 i'm being such a mess right now..- i didn't ruin the mood right?? ＂ she asked, her brows pinched in worry before burying her face into avil's shoulder
a blink or two was done. the separation left avil rather... dissapointed. he cannot force himself upon a lady now, would he? that would cause several issues. a muffled hum reverberates to her palm, as such, he'd chuckle──now his hand grasps her wrist to lower the hand that covered his lips. ⠀ʿʿ is that so? ʾʾ ⠀the response was actually in favor to what he had in mind. ⠀ʿʿ perfect. so, may we.. ʾʾ ⠀the words trail in a feathery manner, so light yet it incites a warmth within. ⠀ʿʿ —take this further? ʾʾ ⠀those exact words are fervent and challenging to its implication, of course, if she were to say no .. that is completely alright. he is fairly aware of his place just as one is with her own.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ཾ∗ ꒰⠀@capturisque⠀❩̩̩͙ ཻ̩͙⠀ ˎ- could avil tell that she was nervous? no, he definitely would be able to tell- her mind was running with panicked thoughts at what she had just done, her nerves making her want to hide in a corner and pretend as if nothing happened. that was until she could feel the other pressing towards her instead of the opposite ( ... ) wait.. he was actually kissing her back?! the realization caused a noise of muffled suprise to emit from her, even moreso after staggering back against the wall. her head was spinning, mind asking a millions questions at the same time between confusion and fangirling out of excitement. but first, she should probably pull away before she passes out. with an soft audible pants being heard from her after (sadly) temporarily separating, a hand cupped over avil's mouth as her eyes remained shocked at what just happened〝 and here i was preparing myself for the worst.. uh- not that i'm upset about this outcome-! actually, this was all according to plan! ＂ this was /not/ according to plan-
" your efforts are appreciated. a boost to your morale shows upon the results in this film. " ⠀clarified avil, once again he would 'need' to disentangle himself from this situation. but the actress seemed unsatisfied of his dismissive manner, already hogging overtime to this particular shooting. ⠀" oh but avil, you're the only one who actually captures the best parts of me, you know? when you say those things.. it does bring the best out of me. " ⠀when she stepped closer, the photographer's body instinctively avoided the closing proximity. and aeons, he's heard of this and has become immune to numerous attempts.
" mm... how strange. i seem to recall a blush that suggested otherwise.. " ⠀ the lilt to his voice signifies a bit of teasing, that small yet noticeable smirk says as much in contrast to that confident proclamation that may have broken it. yet her voiced concerns shifted his demeanor immediately, and avil was quick to gently assure. ⠀" no worries. it is merely.. uncomfortable. even when i keep matters strictly professional, they seem unable to impress that distinction upon their wandering minds. can you believe it? " ⠀he scoffed. ⠀" whenever i give praise, it is to applaud their efforts and the fruits it bore. not in a romantic sense.（..）besides, it is to boost their confidence. while it works like a charm, sometimes it is misunderstood. " ⠀it's rather frustrating──even if he were to say it upfront, it would sound like he was the one leading it on. worse, being the subject of blame.
⌣̩̩̩̥̩͜⟢ ꠦꫂꯥ⠀ ──── ( @capturisque ) 〝 awe, you were just looking out for me, which i appreciate tavi ＂ she reassured the digital companion with a smile before a playful squint was directed towards the photographer〝 now you're just trying to tease me, aren't you? i'd argue and say you're quite darling yourself then. if anything, even moreso than myself because i'm the self-proclaimed cool one! ＂ a proud thumb was pointed at herself with a cheeky grin〝 asides from that though, are you really alright? you would've been cornered earlier by that actress if it wasn't for me swooping in and saving the day ＂
