[D7 EA] Measurements for a friend!

[Asahina Hinata]

He grinned back. He'd used the machine twice and not broken it, so he was an expert for sure!

"Oh tell me about it. They told me a lot of Scorpions are pretty because of the breeding but oh, I was not expecting this. Then add in the others like Usagi-samaaa and Susumu-samaaa!!!!"

[Hotaru Sakura]

He grinned back. He'd used the machine twice and not broken it, so he was an expert for sure!

"Oh tell me about it. They told me a lot of Scorpions are pretty because of the breeding but oh, I was not expecting this. Then add in the others like Usagi-samaaa and Susumu-samaaa!!!!"

"Certainly..." she thought fondly of Mariko...so pretty!

"Oh? You mean Susumu Yakumo-sama?"

[Asahina Hinata]

"Oh Yakumo-samaa is stunning but I meant Susumu Yuji-samaaa!!!"

He sighed.

"So pretty."

[Hotaru Sakura]

"Oh, I don't think I've met him yet."

Beat.

"Do you have a picture?"

[Asahina Hinata]

"Oh . . . no I don't."

His communicator was mostly a load of selfies and pictures Yakumo had encouraged him to take.

"I should get one next time I see him. Maybe there's something on the local net!"

[Hotaru Sakura]

"Oh . . . no I don't."

His communicator was mostly a load of selfies and pictures Yakumo had encouraged him to take.

"I should get one next time I see him. Maybe there's something on the local net!"

"Oh?" Sakura nodded. "Let's see if we can find something on the public net. May I?" she indicated to a console that is available at the embassy lounge area.

[Asahina Hinata]

Hinata stared at the terminal as if seeing it for the first time, despite having used it to watch cartoons that morning.

"Oh?? Yeah!!"

He skipped over and logged in and immediately typed the search term "Susumu Yuji-samaaaaa!!!"

Yes, he included all the 'a's and the exclamation points.

[Hotaru Sakura]

Sakura sat next to him...the search term seemed a bit specific, but it did seem to end up in some results.

"Oh. Oh, I see. I see. Is that a real rose, you think, or a fake one? Married? Are we sure? Mhm."

[Asahina Hinata]

Hinata seemed to be fixed on the screen, but his left hand did push a button combination. Did he just save the picture?

"Oh yes . . . that's him . . . . "

Yuji picture uses Distraction.
It is super effective.
Hinata is dazed.

[Hotaru Sakura]

Sakura let out a low 'mhm'.

"Wow, those abs, they give Usagi-sama a run for their money." She eyed the combination Hinata uses.

"Can you send me over that one? From the beach? Just so I recognize him next and don't embarrass myself."

Yes, surely.

[Asahina Hinata]

"Oh . . sure."

He stared at the terminal before remembering how to do it. He still needed his communicator for Sakura's comm code though, so a bit of fiddling of equipment proceeded before she got the Ping! of the picture arriving.

"I wonder if there's any from the oshidama . . . . ?"

Another overly aggressive search term later and they were looking at a picture of both Yuji and Rei, with Yakumo in the background and a spray of sand obscuring sand dervish Hinata.

[Hotaru Sakura]

"Oh . . sure."

He stared at the terminal before remembering how to do it. He still needed his communicator for Sakura's comm code though, so a bit of fiddling of equipment proceeded before she got the Ping! of the picture arriving.

"Oh."

Sakura glanced at the picture. Her eyes moved to Rei. Then Yuri. Then Yakumi. Yuri again. Rei. Yakumo. Was this while Yakumo was drinking water...yes, yes it was.

Oh.

Her eyes were in constant motion, the poor samurai-ko seemingly frozen in place.

[Asahina Hinata]

Hinata, despite admiring the picture for some of the same reasons was dissatisfied with it.

"Oh no. That won't do."

He searched some more until he found one where he wasn't obscured by sand, instead showing off his tight and fairly skimpy swimwear as he returned the oshidama ball. It also still had the other three in, but Rei had his back to the camera, Yuji was reaching for a smash and Yakumo was set to receive it with a determined look on her face.

"Oh that is a very nice derriere . . . "

He idly saved the pic after uttering the Crane version of 'Dat Ass'.

[Hotaru Sakura]

"Oh. Certainly." Sakura seemed to recover from the Blue Screen of Steamy Thoughts, at least partially.

"I tend to forget how toned Asahina-sama is. You must be the boy's favorite."

[Asahina Hinata]

Forgetting where he was and who he was talking to, Hinata reverted to Usagi Drop! dressing room talk.

"Oh you should see Yuta-kun in the shower. That Daidoji training did wonders for his abs and . . . "

Reality reasserted itself and Hinata blushed slightly.

"Ooopsie."

[Hotaru Sakura]

Sakura mentally tallied the Usagi Drop boys.

"Oh, Yuta-ku-sama, I mean." Her eyes glazed over. "He looks great on stage. Does he look as good as....off the stage?"

[Asahina Hinata]

Hinata grinned sheepishly, miming muscle shapes with his hands.

"Oh my does he!! Bushi training and then all the dancing he does. Like Usagi-samaa but shorter!"

[Hotaru Sakura]

Hinata grinned sheepishly, miming muscle shapes with his hands.

"Oh my does he!! Bushi training and then all the dancing he does. Like Usagi-samaa but shorter!"

"Hub-a-hub-a." Sakura tried to imagine a ripped, short Rei. Blue Screen of Steam again.

[Asahina Hinata]

Hinata was also happily picturing Yuta, but he had the advantage of actual memory. Soon he was searching for more pictures of Yuji though, and totally not noticing that Sakura had broken.

"Oh he had kiddoes!"

[Hotaru Sakura]

"WHat?! Yuta-sama has kids and is married?!" When did she miss that?!!!!!!
