" no , you do not. "
the blonde smiled.
" you are very pretty and look like a young adult in my eyes , not as an elder. "
she stayed silent for a moment before resuming speaking.
" i think the term ' ma'am ' is pushed to be respectful in this day and age. "
well , being alive for multiple centuries . . .
maybe millennia now . .
makes you that way.๐ง
( her eye opened , standing back upright instead of leaning. )
i appreciate you saying that though , shinobu.
i love your name by the way , it is very beautiful.
as is your attire.
Shinobu Kocho. . . but you may call me Shinobu, or Miss Kocho - whichever is more your fancy.
I must say, you're awfully forward, Miss Alice! I can admire that.
( she leaned in bit and winked. alice left that eye shut for now , teasingly. )
i suppose i should introduce myself then , yes ?
( a small giggle before smiling more. )
i understand that , i respect your decision.
i am alice.
it is a pleasure to meet you.
( a small bow. )
Oh nononon, I wouldn't wish!
Such a thing would be awfully imposing. I wouldn't dare ask that of someone I don't even know!
The thought is appreciated - but I could never.
musing . . ?
i see.
( alice nodded a couple times. )
if you would like to , i can be of service to you for an embrace if you'd wish.
i know that seems . . very immediate for our first encounter , but i wish for everyone around me to be their best selves with my own services.
. . .
No I'm quite fine, really. I suppose I'm just. . . musing?
You're right though, very correct, I agree.
If one wants the touch of another, it's best to be honest about it .
sometimes being selfish is what people need to keep their drive going for certain things . .
however , wanting a companionship of that nature is normal in human basis.
( she crossed her arms, smiling a bit. )
if you want the touch of another , you must push yourself to say so.
โ
It's almost silly to say that it gets lonely in the mansion. . .
I've five sisters right here to keep me company, yet -
Perhaps that's not the sort of companionship I yearn for
Maybe it's the touch of another. . . no, surely not.
That's so selfish.

this isn't the best part , i'm only getting started ~
( alice's hands kept its motion, pressing her thumbs a bit rougher against the tender areas where it needed loosened the most. )
i suppose people don't really listen to others backstories , but i feel everyone's important.
"My? Since you've performed a backrub? That's quite a while, you know. . . hundreds of years."
A soft sigh leaves the ex-Hashira's lips, shoulders slumping a little bit as she relaxes. . . just a tad
"You're doing a wonderful job, could have fooled me."
( the gal began massaging the upper back of hers. her thumbs move with a bit of pressure , but not too much into shinobu to stabilize pleasure from the pain in the upper region. )
thank you . . it has been a while. centuries.
( alice's voice was a bit soft , happy to help. )
