[Some time later in the spa.] Tarik got ready first of course and got in the tub without waiting for Otomo Mako to join him, she would eventually. He laid back and light up a cigar as he waited. Aziz was nearby sitting on the floor. At least here, contrary to RHS, people realise that I am paying and I don't need any of their nonsense...

Of course, when she said her friend was a pervert, she knew it was true. She'd spent enough time with him to know he loved seeing girls show skin - including her. Especially her, perhaps, since unlike a lot of girls, she played along with it pretty readily. Tarik wasn't a man in Mako's mind, he was still the little boy who she hung out with so many years ago, whom she had taken baths with (without parents knowledge) and whom she was closer with than her own siblings. He knew her boundaries, and as much as he may push and prod at her with his little tricks, she knew he cared about her.
And that meant she showed up in the little purple swimsuit, porcelain skin showing from too many places, and yet was without blush as she moved towards the jacuzzi, "Seriously? Smoking in the water? Ew. You better not get any of that in the jacuzzi. I'm not sitting in your ashes." She pouted at the disgusting gaijin habit, "You either get the swimsuit or the cigar. Choose which one makes you happier."
She didn't answer his question from earlier, the question has entirely been forgotten in her mind while she changed into the skimpy little one piece.

"I didn't know it bothered you." He responded. "Sorry, I do that a lot when I am vexed." He apologised as he handed the cigar to Aziz. The gorilla sipped from it and returned to his corner, taking the ash tray with him
"As expected it looks great on you... as if you don't make anything look good." He added and winked at her.

"You know I don't mind the smoke. But that doesn't mean I want ashes in my water. That's just gross." A roll of the eyes as she climbed into the water and joined her friend, "Sometimes I wonder if these lines really work for you. But thank you, I can make anything look good." She smiled genuinely at the gaijin, "How many girls have you managed to get to come here with you, with cheesy little lines like that? Ten? Twenty?" She had a high opinion of Tarik... or was teasing him, "And how DID you have my exact measurements, anyways?" The swimsuit fit perfectly. Literally perfectly snug on every inch of her, just perfectly not to tight, and yet not loose.

He chuckled.
"I've yet to meet anyone that would justify using it, except you." He replied.
"Honestly, me and Rokugan does not really work that well. My betrothal was set up as soon as I moved here and I try to not do anything that would offend my future clan." He smirked.
"I hate it, I wasn't even allowed to bring my harem along..." He added in resignation.

"How sad, my poor Tarik without his dozen little wives. If they had let you bring them, maybe we would hang out more." It was said with a giggle into a hand, "So do I get to flirt with your wife like how I get to flirt with your harem, hmm? I wonder how she will feel about the other women in your life." She clicks her tongue a few times, shaking her head, "You better take good care of her though. And I mean really. Or I'll chase you down for hurting a beautiful samurai-ko's heart." She wagged a finger at the boy, despite never having met his fiance.

He looked at her and she would probably understand that she had touched a nerve.
"Yeah, that... I fear that the nakodo screwed me big timers. But please, you know me well enough to know that I wouldn't hurt anyone."
He lowered his head.
"It's not working as well as I would like. She has issues... I am working on them. We are supposed to meet for lunch and she will be at the party. I am trying but I got a feeling that it will not matter in the end."

Her teasing was gone as she reached across to touch her friend's shoulder, no qualms with the contact after her long time with the unicorn after all, "I'm sorry. I didn't know it wasn't working out. If you want me to, I can see about talking to her. She might just need a friend. I imagine it's hard to accept being betrothed to someone you haven't met really. It would probably sour me on you too, if when we first met I was promised off to you. But you're not a bad guy, and I'm sure she will see that." She assured her friend, shifting her weight just a little out of the water to look the man in the eyes as she spoke, "...now where is this coffee?"

He made a face, "Sorry I was carried away." He motioned to Aziz and the gorilla went outside. Soon he returned with a servant.
"One espresso streto with two fingers of sabuka and one more with three sugar cubes and milk." He ordered.
"I don't want to sour our mood, so I will change subject after this, but on our way back I will give you a manga. I want you to read it and tell me your opinion about the sexuality of the writer." He shrugged and let himself float inside the water.
He wasn't much of a swimmer and he couldn't hold his breath that long so soon he was back on the surface.
"Thanks for providing your place for the party. It took me some time to find a decent suit to rent. Even while working through a real estate agent some proprietors wouldn't take my money... You should visit at some point. I will offer rooms to Reiha-chan and Ryouko-chan. Not sure if they will accept though."

As the coffee was ordered, she grinned at it being ordered sweet just like she liked, but the next part of the conversation caught her off guard, "Taaaarik, are you gonna make me read some super duper ultra mega gay manga, and then pretend to be surprised when I tell you I think the person who wrote it is gay? Because look, if you're trying to set me up with some awesome writer girl," She puffed up her cheeks, then grinned and moved closer to him, "Please continue to tell me more about it, and her. Because I'm all for being helpful in matters of the heart, to my friend! Not because I wanna meet this writer, who I'm almost certain you know, if it's that important to you."
She was still grinning, "Of course you can use my place for the party. I don't need all that space alone anyways. Most of the time I just end up running around naked in only socks." She waited a few seconds as she let that rest in Tarik's head, before poking the boy in the forehead with her finger while he floated, "Or I'm sure you imagine it, eh lover boy?" She moved further back away, back to her edge, and started laughing. She was in a good mood, as always.
