Never relax in the springs.

[Sai]

Sai stretches her arms her muscles sore from all the shifting her has done lately. Turning into a kid again did a number on her now all she wanted was a nice dip in the springs. Looking down into the sack that she carried an extra set of clothes to change into and her bathing supplies she continued on the path towards the springs. The warm summer air and the afternoon sun having made a few more people come out to enjoy a dip.


Hearing the sounds of people in the bigger springs she made her way to one of the small springs and private springs used by couples. Letting her guard down thinking that no one would be there, she undress her back towards the spring. Reaching up for her hair she took out the ribbon she was using to hold it up letting it fall down to its full length just under her butt.


Turning her giving her unexpected guest a full view of her body from her wide hips, to her flat stomach and her plump full breast. Leaving her stuff to the side, before she placed a single foot in the water testing it before slowly easing her body into the water. Ducking under getting her hair wet, she pulled it over her shoulder letting her fingers run through it getting out the tangles.


Swimming the short distance to stop where she could sit down and enjoy the warmth of the water. “Ahh, this is a girl needs after a long day of work.” Closing her eyes as she lend her head back.

K'ris had, unbeknownst to Sai, been relaxing in that spring for some time now, loosening muscles and enjoying the heat on his almost entirely bare scales. His gear, save for his hammer, was set well away from the water, sitting in or on his backpack. Earthbreaker, meanwhile, was a quick stretch of one long arm away, though more due to how attached he was to the massive implement of destruction than of any real fear of being attacked. He'd dozed off somewhat, lulled by the soothing water and the gentle trilling of nearby songbirds, which explained how Sai was able to get as close as she did.

That lull was then quickly broken when bare behind settled into towel wrapped lap, softness that the Zarkhiri certainly did not ploan n pulling him out of day dreams and relaxation to the discovery that he had been mistaken for a rock formation or some other applicable seat. One hand twitched, instinct oh so very briefly suggesting that he was, in fact, the subject of an assassination attempt. He didn't make it far enough along -that- particular train of thought to actually reach for his maul, however. His next twitch of muscles in that massive scaled fist came from the thought of bodily lifting the much smaller woman out of his lap. While less problematic than that first irrational thought of 'solve problem with hammer', he still did not particularly wish this woman ill... it was an odd mistake she made, but perhaps that is all it was, and he certainly should not jump straight to possibly injuring the little lass by being overzealous in his removal of her from his person.

And so, he resorted to that age old tack of diplomacy, that deep rumble from his barrel chest sounding amused as it came from behind the girl. "Can I help you with something, Miss?"

[Sai]

Hearing a strangely recognizable voice, her open her eyes for a moment letting the shock wear off. Blinking her eyes rapidity as she mentally berated herself for not paying more attention to the spring and mostly her mind was working out what he might had saw and if she had to get rid of him. She was never one for assassination while someone was taking a bath but then again if she had to get rid of a problem she would.



Sliding off the his lap she stood up and turn around. “Well if you truly want to help. I could use help washing my hair.” Glancing at him wondering how she missed him completely, it’s not like he blend into the rocks or anything. Refusing to sigh, laughing at her little pun in her head since it was the same as her name. “Well I do apologize for sitting on you but you are at fault as well. You could have said something when I enter the spring to announce your presence.” Placing her hands on her hips as yelled at him while keeping her voice down.

As she slipped off of his lap, he'd slowly stand, stretching out and rising to his full height briefly, with the side effect of causing him to loom overher, and expose more of that scaled, muscular form, bare save for scales, scars, and a towel preserving his modesty wrapped around his hips and covering to mid thigh due to his sheer size. He'd then lean back, popping a few kinks that had settled in during his unplanned doze, letting her take the time to berate him, rolling neck and shoulders slowly and letting out a soft sigh as he was rewarded with a staccato burst of pops from his spine. "I really don't see the point of apologizing for remaining still and silent during a moment of relaxation, but you are welcome to shift the blame if you so wish. No chip off my horn, either way." He'd peer down at her, pondering her request... before picking her up easily, with surprisingly gentle hands for one who swung around an oversized maul for a living, hands on her bare hips, mindful of where he was touching and ensuring he did not stray into more intimate territory. The smaller races were peculiar about such things at times.

"Help with your hair? If you insist." Up she went, off her feet, hefted like a small child, before he'd dunk her into the water easily, submerging her from head to toe. After all, first step in washing was a thorough dip!

[Sai]

Well to say that she was expecting to be lifted up like a small child was an understatement of her day. All she could think about was if only she didn’t leave her daggers with her clothes off to the side that she would swipe at him for touching her without her permission. “You know you should ask before you pick up a lady.”


Now that she got a better look at him, the droplet of water rolling off the scales were interesting. Her hand reach out to touch one of the horns on his head. “Hm… rare indeed I could skin you and get a lot of money.” She thought out loud not caring too much about the fact that he was holding her in his hands. “Or maybe keep you as a pet to play with. Though having a dragon as a partner in my line of work might not be so bad either.”


“Can you lower me for a moment I do want to check something.” Her eyes having glance at the towel covering his midsection. It was unfair in her eyes that he seen her body and she has yet to see his full body. Then again if she wanted to make it fair she might have to do it on her own terms. “Second how does lifting me into the air help with washing my hair?” Folding her arms over her chest as she looked at him waiting for an answer knowing that if she was on the ground her foot would be tapping.

[Deleted]

He'd perk a brow as she mentioned skinning, considering dropping her right then and there. While she obviously didn't hvae anything handy with which to do it, it was just shy of being an overt threat, and that was hardly good manners... particularly coming from someone chiding him for picking her up. The touch to his horn elicited a murmur, those delicate fingers, which would ordinarily never be able to reach, brushing over those golden horns adorning his head, a quartet of keratinous accessories. "I am no one's pet, little one. And certainly not someone you want to try and turn a blade to." A firm squeeze to her hips, a pointed reminder of his strength compared to hers, as he squeezed just hard enough to stop shy of pain, but certainly well into the realm of warning.

"Oh, don't worry... this is all part of the plan." Into the water she went, tilted and pushed under the warm water, soaking her from head to heel in an unceremonious dunking that left her at about knee level for a few seconds, before he'd set her back on her feet in front of him, letting the water sluice off of her curvaceous form. "Better?" His hands would release her, now that she was drenched and dripping, peering down with a grin. "Now, what were you looking for?"

[Sai]

“You don’t have to be a pet. Maybe, partner in crime would be fairer.” She only giggled a bit feeling him squeeze her hips. Normally that would make someone else realize that the person holding them could snap them in two like a twig but it just remind her that this person might be better on her side then fighting her. “You know if you want to show your strength, we could go to training ground or even somewhere in the forest.” Winking at him. “Unless you have other ideas of how to show your strength to me.”


Feeling her weight move downwards into the water she did her best to brace herself for the impact. Lifting her head letting her hair flip back sticking onto her back now fully soaked. She smirked at him, upon hearing his question. “Oh nothing darling.” Her hand on his towel gripping it tight ready to pull it off. “Do you believe that we should be fair in what happened so far. I mean you seen me naked and yet here you are wearing a towel still. I don’t find that fair at all that you gotten more of a view than I have.” She decided to wait for his response before deciding if to pull his towel off herself or let him do it.

[Deleted]

The hand on his towel gave him pause, and he'd peer down at her, brow lifting higher. "You seem awfully interested in seeing more. Whether it be my strength, or the contents of my towel, your curiosity is rather blatant. Are you always this forward, little one?" Regardless, he made no move to remove her hand from his towel, nor to pull it off himself. Instead, those gold eyes would lock onto hers, watching her with obvious amusement. "It's almost like you've never seen one of my kind before."

[Sai]

“Well, you are an interesting person after all. I can’t help to be curiosity it’s not every day one runs into someone of your kind.” Lightly she tucked on his towel keeping an eye contact with him. She did have to admit that his eyes were beautiful the shade of gold and the amusement swirling in his eyes. It made his eyes seem like swimming a pool, smirking she pulled the towel away from him. “Now life can be fair.”


She smirked as she took the towel, walking over to where she had her stuff. Placing the towel with her stuff she picked up one of the bottles of soup she had gotten to off a fated child. Glancing at her now fully naked friend, she toss the bottle at him hoping that he caught it. “Now you promised to wash my hair.”

[Deleted]

Off came the towel, and the massive dragon made no further attempts to cover himself. If she were that adamant about seeing him in his entirety, there was little to be done, and truth be told, the modesty was more a courtesy to others than any real concern over his body. And so, she'd discover one of the more... unique... properties of his race, as he stood there in the water. One hand would catch the soap, and he'd beckon her over. "Happy now?"

[Sai]

Sai couldn't help but laugh at him now that she saw that was under the towel. Truly if she was him she wouldn't have been that or in his case them. Placing a hand on her chest to steady herself as she slowly got over her little fit. Regaining her composer she did fully look him over from head to well what she could see that the rest of the water wasn't hiding. "I might have to take you home and study you. I would love to add you to my collection, I would do it now if I was fully recovered."

Swimming the short distance towards him, she turned so that her back was to him. "Now be careful if on single strand of hair comes out I will have to hurt you." Lending her head back her eyes on him as she watch her hair spread out on the water around her. She did think about cutting it at times but felt it would be unfair since she was rarely in her often. "So mind telling me why you were hiding such an impressive packages under a towel?" Raising a single eyebrow at him. Thinking that she will definitely have to find a way to keep him around even if it meant tricking him.

[Deleted]

He'd settle back into the water, so as not to loom over her too thoroughly, modesty once again achieved by way of the water. Reaching over, he'd settle her atop his knees, shaking his head with a chuckle. "Because people tend to be a little... odd when seeing Zarkhiri anatomy, Case in point, you're obviously fascinated, what with your intent to 'study'." His hands began to move through her hair, caressing over her scalp and wondering just exactly how he'd been conscripted into this, working the soap into her hair and over her neck and shoulders as well.

"Are you always this... forward?"

[Sai]

Sighing happily enjoying having her hair wash, it was one of the few things that relaxed her. It was also one of the few things that she would never tell anyone cause when one is relaxed on might end up dead. Closing her eyes as she, enjoying his masterful hands move through her hair. “You know darling there is more than one type of study. It’s easier for me to study your body for what I want to do in the future.” Opening one eye to look at him for a moment before closing it again. “What did you think I meant by study?” She now wondering what he thought she had meant honestly all she wanted to do was truly study his body and practice shifting into him, did he think she was implying something else it was pretty straight forward statement. 

“Am I always this forward. I guess that depends on what you mean.” She took a small lock of her hair that had floated in front of her. “Also make sure to get the full length of my hair wash.” She gave him some additional instructions on how to get her hair washed properly not wanting any dirt left in it. "I am sure you are wondering how I got you into helping wash my hair right?”

[Deleted]

His hands would continue their idle work through her hair, caressing over the shape of her ears in the process, as he sat pondering for a bit. He'd reach forward, working over the shifter's forelocks with steady hands, arms over her shoulders as he chuckled. "Do you make a habit of joining others in a bath, making idle threats, and offering up foreboding commentary about what you plan to do with them? "

[Sai]

A light moan of happiness left her lips as she enjoyed her hair being washed, a small blush did warm her cheeks getting her ears caressed in the process. Deciding if it came up she would blame the water of the springs for causing her cheeks to redden momentarily “One my dear sir. It is a public bath. Two I don’t normally join people in baths. Three I don’t believe I made an idle threat, all I said is that I could skin you or keep you as a pet I do not see how that is a threat. Four not many know about my plans since I am familiar with their race and can do it without their knowledge. And Five I still do wish to study you but not in the way you are thinking unless you want me to study you like that.” She stated counted out each point on her left hand.




“I do wish I could show you what I mean by study, but sadly I can not unless I want to be bedridden for who knows how many days.” She said before ducking head under water washing out some of the soap in her hair. Taking a hand, she let it run through her hair enjoying how tangle free it was for a short moment before she have to spend some time with a brush.
