Splish splash I was takin' a bath

[sparkling_eyes]

Who: Lyon, Miakis, and a surprise appearance by Teddie
What: Splashing around in an onsen acting like five year olds
Where: The Nadesico's onsen at 947 Beulah
When: The evening of February 11th
Warning: Naked or mostly naked ladyparts, and also some uninvited voyeurism. Also rampant action tags.

[It's been far too long since Lyon had been invited by Ruri to use the Nadesico's newly regained onsen, and since she's had a couple of pretty stressful weeks recently, she figures now is as good a time as any to kick back and relax a bit.  And since Miakis is undroned and they never really got to talk about what happened over Christmas, she's invited her best knightbro along too.  It'll be a good chance for the two of them to unwind a little.  Lyon's got a pink towel wrapped around her as she heads into the onsen area, and she's also carrying some bath beads she's been waiting to use for a long time now, along with the usual soap and shampoo.]

Wow, look at this place!  It's even bigger than the bath house at the castle!

What you're supposed to do in an onsen is respect the fact that we don't want to be disturbed by any boys. You have guts, I'll give you that, but I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave!

Now, please. Before we get angry.

...............................

[There is a long pause while he processes everything they've told him. Then he smiles and climbs out of the pool.]

Okay~ Bye then~!

[Leaving all cheerful like nothing even happened.]

[sparkling_eyes]

[Lyon blinks. She was expecting to have to argue for at least another ten minutes. She turns to watch him leave, utterly dumbstruck.]

...What was that all about?

[dwaggies]

[Miakis watches him go, squinting suspiciously like she expects him to come back. After a minute or two, she relaxes and settles back down in the water. SHRUG.]

Weird kid. But at least we didn't need to resort to violence~!

[sparkling_eyes]

[Lyon heads back over too, sitting down with a sigh.]

Now we can finally relax.

[dwaggies]

Yup!

[Miakis once again stretches out her arms and legs, closes her eyes, and sighs happily. Assuming there will be no further interruptions, this will be a very relaxing evening indeed.

Except...

She opens an eye and glances at Lyon, frowning.]

Hey, Lyon. Have you been in any fights recently? [Yep, she saw that scar during their wrasslin' match earlier, and she's a little confused. :|a]

Ugh journals

[sparkling_eyes]

Fights? No, why?

[With everything that happened earlier, she's kind of forgotten about trying to hide the scar.]

squid girl makes everything better though

[dwaggies]

[Miakis points at the scar.]

What's that from, then...?

[sparkling_eyes]

O-oh, that...

[Lyon fidgets a little.]

Actually, I don't know. I regained it just recently, after all of those surgeries happened.

[dwaggies]

[Miakis inches closer, somewhat invading the other girl's personal space, in order to get a better look. After some thought, she comes to the conclusion that yep, this is from Dolph, after the failed New Queen's Campaign.

But that hasn't even happened for Lyon yet, so how...?]

Huh. That's weird.

[Yeah, uh, gonna be evasive about this one.]

[sparkling_eyes]

Why would the town return a scar I don't even have?

[Lyon turns to look straight at Miakis.]

Miakis, did something happen to me? Where did this scar come from?

[dwaggies]

Sorry, that's classified information~...

[Miakis is noping so hard at telling her about that particular event. That was a pretty crappy time for everyone involved. NOPE NOPE NOPE]

[sparkling_eyes]

[Is she noping as hard as these guys:

]

Miakis! It happened to me! How is that classified?

[dwaggies]

[yep]

I don't wanna spoil it! Look, it's - it's just a battle wound. You'll see for yourself eventually.

[sparkling_eyes]

I don't think it's too much to ask how I got it, if I'm going to be forced to have it here in Mayfield.

[dwaggies]

It is too much to ask. [She winces.] Sorry, Lyon, but... no, I'd really rather not. It's healed, it's just a scar, it's fine~

[sparkling_eyes]

It's not fine! Put yourself in my place! Wouldn't you rather know?

[dwaggies]

Honestly, I'm not sure I would~ Especially knowing that I'd find out eventually!

[Yeah sorry she's gonna be stubborn about this. :|]

[sparkling_eyes]

Well I want to know.

[dwaggies]

[Miakis hesitates for a few long moments, then finally relents and sighs heavily.]

Fine, fiiiiine. You got into a fight with Dolph.

[sparkling_eyes]

With Dolph?

[And, predictably...]

Where? When? How? He didn't get to the Prince, did he?

[dwaggies]

It was in Doraat, not long after the Princess's coronation. And no, you shielded the Prince from him.

[Just giving the bare bones details because she really doesn't want to bring up the whole Sialeeds thing.]

[sparkling_eyes]

[Lyon frowns, touching the scar.]

It looks like he got me pretty good...

[dwaggies]

Yeaaaaah, it was... pretty bad. [crying inside] We got the Dawn Rune to fix you up, though!

[sparkling_eyes]

Sounds like a lot happened.
