[shri]

CHARACTERS: EVERYONE
WHERE: The Second Flight
WHEN: DAY :022
SUMMARY: The Sauna!
WARNINGS: Nekkid times.

[ A few hours after the murder, she hasn't blown the ship up, and here they are. Another knock knock on everyone's brain: ]

( For those of you that are interested - I have secured us a place at the Sauna. Free for us to be use without interruption from outsiders.

You are to be clean before you come in. )

[ Maybe you're here because she bullied you, maybe you want to soak - maybe you're the poor bastard that is standing guard at the door. Either way, welcome to the Suana, have fun. Or don't. ]

[he's suffering here, lakshmi please--]

[but, as it were, instead of understanding, prompto continues to protest. this was the guy who attacked gladiolus with the one thousands years of death jutsu, resulting in prompto's almost-death that day.]

[he doesn't learn]

But-- [it's whined] what if I'm a child? What if I cope with stress like thiiiiiis?

[shri]

[ He isn't done suffering - ]

Then you will make like all children should and mind their betters and elders instruction.

[ She is moderately merciful, she doesn't use her nails when she pinches the top of his ear - marching him towards the edge of the bath. Being bare doesn't seem to slow her down any at all. ]

[gunlock]

[he follows, because he really wants to keep this ear. his only complaint is that he's trying to keep his towel from falling from his waist, as it's now loose, and he can do nothing but attempt to cover himself with it crumpled in his hand]

Okay, okay! In that case, I'm not a chi- ow, that's my ACTUAL ear!

[you know. just in case lakshmi isn't aware]

[shri]

[ This might be the most fun she's had in months - she drags him the rest of the way to the edge of the pool ( where she had been resting oh so peacefully not so long ago - ) jerking him to a stand still by that said ear until she finally, finally lets go. ]

No, you are not a child. You are borrowing a space that I obtained on good will and you will treat it and all others that are using it with respect. Not for you to flinging yourself about, attracting undue attention or behaving in a way will garner us ill favour.

- Am I understood?

[ It's a question. But it only has one answer. And if he goes to answer, with anything other than 'yes ma'am' it's cut off almost immediately. ] I said, am I understood?

[gunlock]

--ye-yes, ma'am!

[her tone sends shivers down his spine, but her words are enough to force prompto to stand straight in attention, a downwards smile on his face. he's actually properly pouting.]

[he's faced many scary men before, but he's sure all the women in his life are, undoubtedly, the scariest. iris, cindy, aranea...]

( Noct... save me... )

[fool, you're on your own.]

--isn't this, uh, attracting undue attention though? Just by making it a big deal...

[shri]

[ Noctis is a good boy, don't you drag him down too. ]

Everyone else, you'll find, isn't bothering to say anything.

[ Probably because woe is them for getting her way, right now. But she does finally, after all that, relent. ]

Now you won't bother anyone else, anymore, agreed?

[gunlock]

[they didn't say anything about him cannonballing into the pool either... but he doesn't say that out loud. instead, he crosses his arms, looks to the side, and grabs a towel--which he offers to her. so far, he managed to do a good job of looking straight at her face]

It's not a happy agreement, but I guess so.

[shri]

Good.

[ She'll take it if only to keep some kind of peace between herself and - her brood at this point. ]

Now if you are quite finished, shall we leave it there?

[ And small mercies, she does actually step a back. ]
