Hathian Prime wrote:Markus Auron-Sirus was not one for travel. He was too busy planning out his next string of industrial and military moves to further his people. He had to be talked into going on a temporary vacation with his wife, Anja Calanthe, to get away from the stresses of working on his nation. After placing his most qualified and trusted adviser in charge, Markus and Anja set sail in the HWS Sparrow for the island of Aurora,UIS. The Supreme Leader of Hathian Priewas dressed in his normal formal attire, which was a black military uniform with numerous medals across his chest and light gold epaulettes on his shoulders. Anja was wearing a plain dark blue dress with a single golden button on the collar that displayed her rank of Travel Minister and First Lady of Hathian Prime. The pair held hands as they stood on the deck, looking out across the island. Markus leaned on his cane as he turned to order the captain of the Sparrow. "Slow down for the port authorities, and move the ship starboard to let others pass us."
A new ship arriving in the ports of Aurora, busy busy as always. Police waved the boat along into the proper harbor so they could be inspected and passed along. Few police officers boarded once they were ready and gave a greeting, "Welcome to the UIS, this is a quick informal inspection once we're done you'll be allowed to disembark. Anything to declare?"

"You're congregation might need this."
Meanwhile, Jose turned to Melo in a whisper "Hey Melo, this might go nowhere, so I'm going back to the restaurant, gonna stay there and scout in case he makes his way there, also I don't want my omelette to get cold." he was somewhat concerned of his food "It's just going to you and Giuseppe, and he's the only one with a gun. If you're in a situation where you're looking down the barrel of our 'friend', reach in like you have one, so he thinks he's going up against two guns." he patted the boy on the shoulder and then went off back to the restaurant. Finally arriving at the diner, he sat down and saw that his food was there, greeting Kujo in the process, "Thank's for waiting, what did you get?"
Back at the temple:
"I know you know something madame. It'd help us both if you told me where our friend went."
The Priestess looked at the money but promptly handed it back. "Gentlemen, are you really attempting to bribe a clergy woman?" She could lecture about honesty but she herself was fibbing a little. "This is a place of worship and of the nation's official religion, during our holy festival. I do not know where your friend went and I suggest you move along before I have police escort you out." She had a whistle on her to summon any patrol officer if she needed, Iffy might be bendable but not every officer would.
Kujo turned to see the return of Jose. "Oh another cup of coffee and plain rice balls."
"Onigiri we call them" The waitress added as she set down another plate "Here is your omelette sir, please enjoy."

"5 Credits. Thank you for your business."

A low snap of her fingers as they were in the lobby and pointing into a corner told Aldhiyb, that he should wait there, out of the way for everyone. As he heard the word 'baths' many times, he was glad - that meant, that he was out of danger!
She smiled along, before she stopped Natsume before she left them: "May I bother you with a little something as well? My Sand Wolf is waiting in the lobby, could you please put a bowl of water and a small snack in front of him? He'll not bite, I promise!", she requested politely, before moving a bit closer to the other girl's ear: "And if you want to pet him, just hold your hand out for him to sniff. As long as you don't reek of gunpowder, he should like you!"
With that, she let Natsume go, throwing her a wink as well, undressing with Marcella in the changing room.
"People here are very polite.", she said to her girlfriend, grinning.
She had no idea about what was heqading their way...
"Sure, I'd be glad too!"
"Knowing you, Natsume, you'll end up playing with him." Marcella chuckled
"A bit odd for a wolf to play with a fox girl like me but hey no one thought all us Animalias would get along when the island was founded and look at us now!"
"...I'm not sure that's exactly the same thing..." Marcella replied as Natsume left. "Oh well. He's in good hands with Natsume." Undressing Marcella and Aurelia entered the bath together. "Aah, it's heaven, do you agree?"

The Saarkriskian leaned against the side of the bath, in a seemingly comfortable position"Oh, you have a daughter" said Albert a bit surprised. He had no doubt seen the little girl at the shop, but had not paid too much attention. "If I sound surprised, it is because imagine mothers as a little bit older" he explained, hoping he hadn't made a faux pas. "How old is she? " he asked, knowing that mother's everywhere like to talk about their kids. As he listened to Kumiko, he also thought about the unusualness of the situation, from a Saarkriskian perspective. If he were to tell those back home, that he took a bath with a woman, they would imagine it differently than it was. The young man used his common sense to determine what the proper etiquette was and his self discipline to follow it, even if he wasn't able to keep his eyes from wandering the whole time.
Kumiko chuckled and blushed a little "Thank you, you flatter me. I'll admit I am pretty young, because I got started pretty young. She's 6 years old and the light of my life."
