[Day 12 Early Morning] Start the day off clean

Mei hums a tun as she washes herself in the bathhouse, making sure to scrub away all the muck and grime. Once clean, the woman spends some time taking care of her long, white hair. After nearly an hour, she exits the house and sits in one of the public baths to soak up the warmth.

The news the enemy army was packing up barely registered as Yukarin made her way to the bath house; She'd been all ready to help, to avenge Mogami to... something. But now, there was no climax. No last stand. All she could do is go about her day and let the higher ups decide what to do about the army on the move.

Coming in and taking a seat after folding her towel nearby, the Yasuki girl mechanically washed herself off while thoughts flew through her head before walking outside towards the hot water.

Mei takes a deep breath and lets it out as a slight moan, the held tension and release a good feeling.

Hearing the water move, Mei opens her eyes.

She nods her head.

“Good morning. I am Miya Mei.”

Rin hadn't really noticed anyone was there, but she didn't start as such. Instead, she looked up at the voice, before inclining her head, "Miya-sama. I am Yasuki Yukarin. Have you had your rice today?"

Rin rarely used that trite little greeting, but it actually seemed appropriate considering everything that had happened lately; Rice and a normal proper breakfast seemed a proper luxury.

"I have, though I was not incredibly hungry. And yourself?"

Mei begins running her fingers through her long hair, working lose the tangles after washing it.

A nod.

"A simple breakfast of rice and natto with an egg. That's all I wanted, really. My appetite was not the best either, since you mentioned it. Hopefully it shall be better by dinner after some hard work."

"Well, should you wish to have an ear, feel free to speak your mind. A good bath and release of feeling can be a wonderful start to the day"

"An ear? Ah... no. I think what I need is to get out and do something; Talking and th hinking snd sitting around is getting me nowhere. I'm... sure I'll be able tp find some action or effort I can put myself to today. I think."

She frowned a little in doubt.

"Having distractions from thought via physical activity is certainly helpful. I've always found a visit to the dojo to be beneficial there. "

Mei smiles at a thought.

"Another option is wrestling, especially in an area where it doesn't cause body ache, like here. "

A slight tapping sound slowly becomes apparent, soon followed by a man wearing a deep red kimono appearing. He gives a short bow to those present, then scrubs himself clean, before relaxing into the waters. "Kami bless you this morning."

Miya Mei · **Posted:** Sat May 02, 2020 9:16 am

"And you as well. I am Miya Mei."

She gives a nodding bow.

"This is Yasuki Yukarin."

"Hachi, tensai of the Isawa, shugenja of Earth and Water." In lieu of standing, he gives a distinct nod of his head, as he starts to relax.

Having been introduced, Yukarin bows to the Tensai with a deep dip of her head before turning to Mei, "I suppose the dojo wouldn't be a bad idea, get more practice in... especially since I've been putting it off the past couple of days. But I certainly wouldn't know the first thing about wrestling or jiujutsu. I mean, look at me."

She briefly held her arms above the water, "I couldn't pin down a struggling child if they were holding a tantrum."

Miya Mei · **Posted:** Sat May 02, 2020 7:28 pm

"Even better reason for you to learn, especially if you are going to have children of your own someday."

"Truly, you have never learned any of the art? Do you know how to take a fall?"

An odd expression of some sort briefly passed over Yukarin's face before she shook her head, as if coming out of a trance.

"N-No. I would not say I especially do."

Miya Mei · **Posted:** Sat May 02, 2020 11:47 pm

"Then a dojo would prove to be much to hazardous to start, Yasuki-san. The floors have bounce, but without knowing how to properly fall, you can still grievously injure yourself."

She looks over to the Isawa.

"If Isawa-san does not find it disturbing, I could show you here, where the water can soften the impact."

Hachi waves his hand. "I have no objections - though if you could manage to make the splashes go a different direction, it would be appreciated."

Miya Mei · **Posted:** Sun May 03, 2020 9:45 am

Mei nods.

"I do not think that would be an issue. We can use a separate bath even."

Isawa Hachi · **Joined:** Fri Apr 03, 2020 2:42 am **Posts:** 401

"No need for that. I would be curious about how falling is important. I've no martial training myself."

Miya Mei · **Posted:** Sun May 03, 2020 10:18 am

Mei nods to the man.

"Very well. Though, for a true lesson, we will need to have a follow up at the dojo later as well. The initial water training only gets you used to the feeling of being thrown and how to move your body. Once you have a solid object beneath you, those movements become more difficult."
