4 Early Afternoon Bath - What have I gotten myself into?

[Amaya]

she reached up and rubbed at her neck awkwardly, scratching along the scour marks and sighing. "Fair 'nuff. Yeah, not really plannin on gettin m'self into that kinda trouble. Course, I'm gonna take a dip next couple'f days in th'bay, see'f there's anythin interestin when th'two of us ain't about. If'n anythin unexpected comes up, I'll let ya know, k? But, should b'safe from jellyfish an what not," she said, trying a sheepish grin. It was really hard to tell why the woman was defensive or even evasive, or for that matter what she was being evasive about in the first place.

Fuck... she's going to notice eventually. You realize that, don't you?

[Shiba Nozomi]

The Shiba says nothing of her defensiveness, merely makes a mental note that is filed away for later study. "What kind of unexpected things are you anticipating? Those creatures Yasuki-san seems so intent on pulverizing with her bare hands?" She wiggles all her fingers in the air for a moment to illustrate the idea of something with many limbs.

[Amaya]

"I don't trust this place," she said with a dull and serious tone. "It smells like sheep shit, an th'people look like savage leather-skinned monkeys that stare't me beady eyed, an I ain't heard one damned bell from a proper temple since I got here. I don't trust th'waters in a harbor I don't know not t'have somethin dark hidin down there that needs findin."

[Shiba Nozomi]

Now that was more like what Nozomi had expected from the peasant rather than the bowing and deference that she had been getting. She gives Amaya a glimmer of a smile,"I can't say I d-don't understand how you feel. This wh-whole place is... d-disturbing. Somehow I doubt the h-harbor is any less so."
