“Well, don’t forget your tea while you get ready. You’re gonna need it go keep from committing assault on those people in the hypothetical line.” Hide held out a cup for Eriko, steam rising from it. “And I do look forward to you having me all to yourself.” She shot her wife a smirk as she raised her...

“I mean, that could also be fun. But it’s up to you… I’m up for whatever.” With there being no coffee, Hide just eyed one of the dark teas and decided to prep two cups of that, since the water was almost ready. “I guess when this is all over, we can just spend a whole day lounging in bed. That sound...

Hide just let the kiss sink in for a moment before clearing her throat. Her face was a bit red from a combination of the closeness and the kiss.

“So… Which of these teas do you like best? There’s an impressive variety that you have here. I usually just keep a couple types.”

“Hey nooow, I was just teasing you.” Hide held out her arms in an offer to hug. “I’m sorry if you thought I was implying anything untoward about you. My mouth is kind of stupid sometimes. Like my brain. And sometimes the former acts without permission from the latter.”

“We were not very inconspicuous at the show, not gonna lie.” Hide had to wonder how some of them never got caught. “Waaaaait. Does this mean… We were all being delinquents?!”

“Hey now, I wasn’t sayin’ you can’t be a fan of Delinquent Crabs.” Hide put her hands up in mock defensiveness. “Honestly it’s pretty cute how much of a fan you are. They’re lucky.”

“Vending machine damage is something I’ve been written up for before, so I getcha.” Hide raised an eyebrow at her wife as she turned back to face her. “Well, I do recall you were rooting for that delinquent-stylized wrestler back on Asakaze. Not that makes you one.”

“I wouldn’t laugh at you. I would laugh with you as we both look silly doing it.” Hide offered out a hand. “I guess I’ll be practically carrying you for this.”

“I met her at the night club here.” Hide stirred her drink before taking another sip. She glanced over to her wife, brow raised.

"Hah! That must have been the situation, then. I didn't think the Crab would write up something like that unless you broke a Hida's nose or something." Hide easily found a stockpile of tea while she also started up with heating enough water for the two of them. "Which, admittedly, I would be amused ...

“Oh, Koseki-san? I could see that. He’s a cool and reliable guy.” Hide didn’t seem put off by this at all. “I assumed I was your first choice. After all that we went through and all that. Though, you never know. You could have been picked by someone who you never talked to or whatever. It’s the way ...

She would slowly turn to Hide before she got any bright ideas and she had to nip this in the bud. "I'm going to need to get pretty smashed before anything like that happens..." “Awwwww… Not even a slow dance where we barely move and are holding onto each other tight?” Hide couldn’t help but be a li...

“Technically everyone was a potential rival, I guess.” Hide shrugged, not really sure exactly how others faired in the rival department. “I wasn’t exactly popular as a marriage option.” Did she have rivals for Eriko at Asakaze? Well, Hide slowly turned her attention to her wife. “So, you were pretty...

Hide smiled after the kiss, but it couldn’t last too long, as someone had to provide the caffeine. So she sat up again. “Well, you can order us the sushi for breakfast while I get us some tea. Do we still at least have some tea around? Or is that all gone, too?”

Meanwhile, Hide was surprisingly a better singer the more she drank. Of course she may have been trying to show off just a tad for her wife. Because of course Hide would show off in front of Eriko. That was her entire thing the last game, more or less. ______________ [D11 LE] Unskilled Perform: Sing...

“Whatever feels right to you, Eriko.” Hide tapped her foot to the song, looking to the audience for a suggestion perhaps?

“Well, if you’re craving sushi that much, let’s just get some of the cheaper stuff to start with. Then, later, I can go out and get you some ikura. Y’know, the ‘why not both’ approach?” Hide rolled over onto her side to face Eriko, her amused expression quite obvious. “It’s gonna be a big day, so an...

3/17 attacks made against me this entire game hit!

And the last one hurt a whole bunch.

“Oh, I’m a marine. But most of the time it’s just glorified cargo guarding and making sure no one steals supplies while docked. There was an attempted pirate docking of the cargo ship I was stationed on last month. Got shot in the shoulder. But that’s fairly rare?” Hide shrugged. “I’m more than fine...

“Well, can’t argue with that logic. My wife has made her will known! I shall pick first.” Hide grinned before going to select a song. And as promised , Hide selected an old and sappy song. But, hey, it fit her MO. Hide’s grin grew as she looked to Eriko and waggled her eyebrows before readying her m...
