Aether:A therapeutic bathhouse? He, sounds interesting.
Ayaka:I’ve been interested in this myself.
Aether:Wanna try it together?
Ayaka:*red* Umm, while that would be wonderful, it would cause potentially issues. As the eldest daughter and important figure, I have to do private baths. I even have to turn down Yoimiya’s requests.
Aether:Ah, I guess there would be a bit of stigma. We can still do it separately and talk about the exp-
Yae Miko:*opens door* Oh? Well look who it is. My intuition was correct.
Aether:Hey Miko. How’s-
Yae Miko:*dragging him off* Perfect timing. I’m bored and we haven’t had our gossip hour in awhile. I’m sure you have a bunch of interesting stories that would make a good story. Come. Let’s enjoy the water and drinks.
Ayaka:Wouldn’t that be indecent for a shrine maiden!?
Yae Miko:Perhaps, but I’m the head shrine maiden. I do what I want.
Aether:I don’t think that’s how that’s supposed to work.
Yae Miko:Count yourself lucky. People would sell their houses for this. Now no more fuss. If you can face the shogun, you can handle a peaceful bath.
Aether:You won’t let me see your fox form but a towel is fine?
Yae Miko:You’re not gonna ask to pet me in a towel without dire consequences. Goodbye, Ms. Kamisato. He’ll be back!
Aether: I’m soooooorrrrrryyyyyyyy
Ayaka:…*looks left*
Ayato:Don’t look at me. I couldn’t help you in that situation even if I wanted to. Lady Yae does what she wants.
Ayaka:It must be nice to be above it all.
The front door slides open again and the siblings turn their head to see their archon walk in a bit lost.
Ei:Greetings. Has Miko already entered the bath?
Ayato:Y-Yes. Alongside the traveler.
Ei:I see. Thank you. I shall join them then. I’ve heard this place is quite the treat. *walks in*
Ayato:Enjoy your time.
Ayaka:..*looks left* ENjoY yoUr TImE!
Ayato:Your problems are not with me! My hands Ayaka! They’re tied!
Ayaka:They’re holding milk tea!
Ayato:Because that’s within my power!
