[So many charm points being revealed at once... her toned, flat physique, the cute mole under one of her arms... ๐
Practically *everything* about Ina was driving Flare's sanity up a wall.~]
Humu...? What're talking about? Now you're really sounding like you have a fever... ๐ฆ
โ And wander, her eyes indeed did. The guilt of having the tako genuinely show care for her, only for her to take in Ina's scent, the sight of her barely-covered body and its contours... โ
... I have burned all of this into my memory. I will cherish this sight forever.
[Well... no outright objection, so it was a start at least.~ Ina looked pretty cute with her cheeks all squished, a sharp contrast to that suggestion earlier and what she looked like now. The sundress she was currently wearing was beginning to cling to her rather obviously...~]
I will rephrase. I like strictly cold showers in the summer! The stuff in me gets a little too warm, so I have to!
โ Grabbing Ina's cheeks by cupping her chin, squeezing. โ
Well, I guess the water runs warm because of it. Why me, anyway? You have better people to be naked with.
Our tongues aren't *that* warm either sooooo...
[Honestly, it all sounds like an excuse for someone who usually seems so reserved to get her freak on, but the way she words it... something about it makes it make *sense...*]
[Chuckle, almost *gross* now that the cat was out of the bag, slipped out before stepping back.]
I won't confirm nor deny. ๐
And besides, when you think about it, it's the perfect compromise for us. You hate hot showers during summer, and I could do without cold ones...
... What the heck...
โ Closing her eyes with a frown and a little huff. Her cheeks did get a little red... โ
Ina-senpai, I'm beginning to think you're trying to suggest that you actually see me like that.
Yeah? And what's that?
โ Looking at the tako from the side of her eyes as she turned her face away. โ
I'll think about it, whatever you say. I guess I'm not as exempt from senpai tax as I would like to be.
[Once she got close enough the sweaty tako stood on tippy-toes to feel Flare's forehead and see if she was running a fever or something...
but standing this close was beginning to wear at the feverish Takodachi's will!! Her eyes were almost *bound* to start wandering...~]
Oh, yeah. I've never been better.
โ Walking closer? That's gonna get Flare to put her everything to not huff in the air around her harder. Restraint, Takodachi Extraordinaire! You have it! โ
... Oh gods why is my Ina so perfect I must hold myself backโ
[Rolling her eyes, figures.~ Perhaps there's an... alternative that she can suggest, a smirk began to creep up on the tako's face while she watched the automaton get worked up.]
You know... there *is* an alternative.~ ๐
I HATE any semblance of higher heat in my summer baths, Ina-senpai. Yes, that might mean showering with you too. Not that I actually know what it's like to shwoer WITH someone, as opposed to bathing them.
โ Shrugging, arms crossed, pouting a little. โ
[A bemused snort slipped from Ina's mouth; thank goodness she didn't catch that *last* part... though she may have underestimated Cece's hearingโ]
I said *warm*, it doesn't have to be scalding. Just hot enough to feel just right, you know?
โ Her ears are tuned for hearing very fine frequencies, so there's not really much for Cece to NOT hear... โ
Warm shower? Really? In this kind of weather? Do you wanna become boiled octopus or something?
True...
She could get some ice cream, or take a nice warm shower (with her senpai)โ
[Hopefully Ina muttered that last part *quietly* enough for Cece to not pick up on it...]
I, uhm... don't think *you're* fine, is what I'm trying to get at... ๐ฆ
[She's walking towards Flare now, determined to get to the bottom of what's causing her current bout of delusion...
Unaware that *she's* the direct cause.~]
Yeah... passing by...
โ Her hands are put together as if offering a prayer, eyes closed, forehead held to her joined hands. โ
Thank you for the food.
Passing by, huh...
[Ina's body was *caked* with sweat from her latest workout; it didn't help that her sports clothing practically *hugged* her toned frame and left nothing to the imagination...~]
