Pfft, no way. You're my favorite person to drink with.
[ who said we even need to be civilized, there's no one else here in this room now. baiken has... so much hair... nothing will probably contain it but that's fine, consider her in awe of the sheer volume, that 13-in-1 is doing it for you wow!
thebe starts to disrobe, the jacket first, then the rest, folding everything neatly. eventually, it reveals the length of the metal going down her spine, from nape to tailbone, meshed sleekly with dark plating. it curves around to the front, ribcage-like, all the same metal, as though one continuous piece, jointed for movement. there are scars here and there along the skin, but they are fine and well-cut, machine-like.
as she sits to scrub down, she does catch the moment wrist guard just get yanked off with teeth and chuckles a little bit watching it just. yeet. ]
As far as I can tell, you don't spend much time drinking with anyone else.
[ thursdays are probably not a good indicator of this, but, she said what she said.
only the obi and obijime are holding her kimono closed (and even then, barely,) which are easily untied and tossed aside. the kimono follows.
it's not as dramatic as cyber enhancements, just some fading bruises from the past couple of weeks. what's left of her right arm - about 2/3rds of the upper arm and her shoulder - have some old, faded scars. still fairly unremarkable in the grand scheme of things. especially unremarkable as a survivor of war.
since manners mean nothing to her, she can't help but ask: ]
You gonna be okay in the water?
[ less for electricity reasons because electricity doesn't exist in guilty gear, but more sinking-drowning related reasons. ]
[ lightly. thursdays are not a good indicator at all, but thebe smiles anyways.
she is allowed to ask, though, and thebe just grabs the removable nozzle, sending water down their back. ]
Yeah, it's fine. Doesn't hurt or anything. It's kind of nice, the water, though I don't have much sensation in those areas anymore. A lot of the... nerves or whatever were ripped up.
[ baiken, constantly drinking: i can't believe the bartender only drinks on thursdays.
anyway. ]
Hm. As long as you aren't gonna do anything stupid.
[ LIKE DROWN or have the water affect the gear weirdly. sadly she is not nosy enough to ask after that little comment. she just assumes accident and can leave it at that. ]
[ smashcut to thebe crushing 6 beers after trial. but also no, they would rather not talk about (redacted) much. this is the preferred dialogue choice. ]
Hey now. I'm smarter than that.
[ standing up and rinsing off finally. ]
Whoa, you want me to help with the hair before you go in?
[ because yes, baiken has a shitton of hair, but thebe is resourceful and perseverant. they will miraculously manage (with a good deal of patience, probably, because hair is wont to do what it wants to do) but will manage to make a decent updo, just to keep it out of the water. ]
[ well. baiken has no choice but to behave so the task gets completed. it'll only take longer if she fusses, but, really, it's not all that bad. it's kind of... nice... maybe. just a little!
[ hehehe good. thebe accepts these head pats like a happy kitty... and will give a happy stretch and head on over to the bath, already wading in towards where the very first bottle is already waiting. there's a small belt that can be used for delivery, and a little ordering pad, but other than that it's just them!
thank god the bath is hot thebe doesn't have to think about how :,) flushed she is. god. sometimes you hang out every thursday with a surly cat of a woman and it does things to you but you respect her surliness too much to make a move so yeah you invite her to a kind of intimate hot springs and booze tasting it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fi-
she pours with a steady hand somehow before setting a cup before each of them. ]
[ yeah, it's fine. baiken plops into the water and lounges back. it's easier to knock back the first drink sitting up, so. ]
Nice to not have to do much work for once.
[ whether or not she's really paying attention to thebe is anyone's guess. having a missing eye narrows her field of view quite a bit, so as long as she's sitting on her bad side, well. she can be as flushed as she wants and baiken can't notice. ]

Don't know how much help you're gonna be able to give...

Eh, I think I can manage.

I know... ugh, they work us like dogs and for what? Half the time I don't get to enjoy much of anything until way later in the week.
[ and by then, what's the point? someone's dead! she won't say it though as she takes a drink and closes her eyes. then sighs. ]
This one's not bad... hm. [ takes the bottle and looks it over. ]
