Nakahama

Sumiko looked at the man concerned. He seemed to be lost in a train of thought, so she moved her arm around him and pulled him closer. Hugging him gently.

"It's ok Hinata-kun, I'm here if you want to talk" she offered quietly.

"I'll be honest though, I've never had bad takoyaki." He smiles at her, one that reaches his eyes. "Might be because it's my favourite food, but that's a different matter I guess."

He notices she struggles to look over people once more, himself not really having an issue with it. He looks at the ...

Sumiko shook her head and smiled.

"The song is over five years old, I don't think anyone knows it. I don't think the singer did anything of note after, so it's one of those songs that only people that heard it back then still remember it. It's a Phoenix song if I remember right."

She reached over ...

"I didn't realise the set had such a big meta shift" Sumiko commented as she gave Senshuken a gentle squeeze "I only really played an aggro deck because it was easiest to learn the game. Never really tried control before."

There was a pause before she added "I bought you a gift of sake to take back ...

Sumiko slid over closer to the guy as he started to curl up. She placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I understand. I really do, I went through something similar on your clans planet when helping recover those samples Hinata-kun. You survived though, and you can grow from the experience. You're still ...

"Ah...the temple in Tenjin Town?" Sumiko sighed "perhaps its good that I didn't enquire into that further then. I'm glad you were able to seek treatment, Kitsune-sama is a talented priest. Still, if you need anything more please do let me know. I am a trained medic along with my other abilities ...

"You were what?"

Sumiko had turned around wide eyed.

"What were you doing to get into a fight? Have you had proper treatment?"

Sumiko entered, a small pout on her face before closing the door and moving behind Senshuken. Wrapping arms around her waist and leaning her chin on the other girls shoulders.

"Winning?"

Making arrangements the day before, Sumiko had made her way to the hotel Senshuken was staying at. This time she had a small bag with her, carrying something in it for the girl. Passing through the hotel she found her way to the Scorpion girls room and pausing outside it for a moment she knocked and ...

Sumiko didn't get a chance to reply before he had closed the distance, her eyes closing and wrapping arms around his neck as she kissed him back. Holding him close until he finally moved away. It took her a moment before she opened her eyes, her face slightly flustered.

"Uh...hai, I can do that ...

"Iam lucky yes. Iam thankful for such a fortune." He smiled widely at her before taking her hand once again.

"Some tea then, of fruit juice! I'll avoid alcohol for festival, I have a feeling I'm not going to dodge the bid event later tonight. As you well know, I'm quite the lightweight." He ...

"I think you should have picked a less high spot Hinata-kun" Sumiko said with a laugh, moving closer and sitting down next to the man "what if you fell and hurt yourself?"

She looked out across the view.

"Still...this will be a great spot for fireworks."

Sumiko smiled and closed her eyes, resting her head on the back of the onsen.

(happy to fade to relaxing and /scene! Thanks for the thread)

He smiled as she took his hand, he rubs his thumb over the back of her hand before pulling gently from it without another word. He smiles brightly at her when she congratulates him on his good fortune. He resisted the urge to admit he had felt blessed the moment he had seen her in her yukata. "Let ...

Sumiko considered making a comment on that but decided against it, instead just nodding.

"That's true. Many sacrifices are forgotten in time, and other...things are remembered no matter how much time passes. But who wants to waste such a wonderful onsen on such thoughts when there's much better ...

"I don't think your environment is too unusual Hinata-kun. It's just not Spider environments" Sumiko gave the man a smile "so don't feel bad for having a better upbringing than me, or having a closer family than I do. I don't think I turned out so bad for the world I grew up in, right?"

Then he ...

Sumiko gave a small clap as the winners were read out. She hadn't placed but it was fun, even though the plushies would have looked great in her collection!

Then the idea of a grand melee was suggested? How fun! She prepared her drone, and decided to go full send! Which seemed to work well for the ...

Sumiko hadn't realised it was going to be this late so when she didn't get contacted she had started heading back. Turning back, she made her way quickly to the agreed spot. Pausing nearby, she looked around. It was an odd place to agree to meet. Secluded but not so much that people wouldn't hear ...

He leans forward, eye level with her, a playful smile as he speaks. "Oh? Was that too forward? Forgive my impropriety Susumu-san." He leans back, and extends a hand. "Grab my hand? I don't want to lose you in the crowd." His voice is even, calm and welcoming. "Please?" He pleads, there is a ...

"So bribery works? Good to know, maybe I should reach out to some friends" Sumiko replied with a chuckle "your growing up sounds nice though. Calm, welcoming, friendly. It couldn't be more different to mine."

There was a frown as her drink was taken, before she shook her head.

"You really really ...
