[ 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...
[ this is less doubting thebe's abilities and more baiken has a metric shitton of hair. ]
no subject
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. ]
