[Day 3 – Late Evening] Old Habits... (Open)

[Iuchi Xiao Hua]

As the air kami swirled around him to reply, the man sighed. It was not like he was expecting a clear answer, but... Fuck you too. There was a reason why the whimsical air kami were generally left to the Crane and Scorpion priests.

It was time for Xiao Hua to blush again. Turning to regard the newcomer, he hastily explained. "She lay in a corner... seems... absent. Might have struck her head. Something is wrong, anyway..."

[Bayushi Hoshi]

Her fingers idly fiddled with the edges of her blanket as she had her attention on the ground for a good moment before glancing back up to the two. "...I've heard that one before..." She said without the venom that could have accompanied that statement.

"...If I wanted to be touched...etto..." Hoshi blushed sharply as she fell away to private thoughts.

[Iuchi Xiao Hua]

Xiao Hua regarded the other Scorpion. "See?"

[Bayushi Kichirou]

"She doesn't look injured to me Iuchi-san. Though I am no doctor to make a prognosis." the more lucid of the two Scorpion offers, "Perhaps some time in the night air will do her good in the end. I will go seek the advise of one of the healers. You should stay here and keep my cousin engaged. I've heard conversation is a good way to keep the sick from slipping away."

Even as he speaks Kichirou is moving to go below decks, ostensibly in search of a doctor.

[Bayushi Hoshi]

Why did people have to move so fast all of a sudden? "-Ah..." Hoshi was about to speak up but helplessly watch her cousin disappear below.

She turned to face the Iuchi now, that dreaded look of a Scorpion lady's disapproval almost showing. "...Look at what you've done."

[Iuchi Xiao Hua]

Turning his palms upwards, the man shrugged his shoulders, smiling a bit sheepishly. "Sorry... I guess."

"Can you... walk? Or do you want to wait whomever he... brings with him." He too being rather peeved that the other Scorpion had just disappeared.

[Bayushi Hoshi]

Hoshi gaze didn't stay look on Xiao Hua as it drifted off toward the side of the ship. "Mm...Doesn't sound very sorry Iuchi-san...but that's fine, not many people are..."

She snickered to what sounded like a silly question. "...You may be amazed that I can also talk too." A sigh. "Now, sleep. Sleep is something I could really go for.." She hugged herself, with the blankets on her, it almost looked like a childish gesture as she shuffled toward the stairs.

[Iuchi Xiao Hua]

Iuchi followed the woman, walking a little behind her, ready to intercept were she to fall down. "Sleep sounds like a good idea, Bayushi-san..."

[Bayushi Hoshi]

Hoshi shot a few glances behind her but eventually gave up on caring and merely marched to off her bunk. Sleep would be Tengoku right now...

[Iuchi Xiao Hua]

Seeing Hoshi to make her way to the female side, Xiao Hua turned, and made for his own bun.
