The Onsen, Saturday Afternoon

The last time Hannibal had been here, he'd been cold and unprepared for taking any sort of swim even in something as warm as the onsen. Today, he was still a little cold but he had a towel and a proper swimsuit. And, while Toby was always good company, he sort of preferred the company he had with him today.

"Nice, right?" he asked, waving a hand at the onsen. "I was right."

[For his company but open place in town is open, of course.]

"You were right," Angela confirmed, looking around. "Not that I really doubted that, at all."

"Still, nice to hear," he said and laughed. "Brought a bathing suit, right?"

"And a towel," she replied, grinning and shrugging the shoulder with her bag on. "I feel very organised."

"Better than me but I did remember the towel!" he said, waving it. "Last one in's a rotten egg?"

Angela grinned at him confidently. "You're on."

Having not expected her to take his challenge, he dropped his towel and tried to wriggle quickly out of his shirt.

"Hey! Unfair advantage," she claimed, following his lead and shrugging off her cardigan.

"I didn't hear any established rules," he said, taking a moment to wince at the sudden cold on bare skin before reaching for his belt.

"Starting at the same time was supposed to be a given," Angela said, stripping off her shirt.

She already had her swimsuit (http://i36.tinypic.com/2e0v2av.jpg) on. Obviously she didn't consider that an unfair advantage at all.

"Oh, too bad," Hannibal said, working on getting his belt undone. "And my swimsuit's one less piece than yours!"

"And yet, you're still going to lose," she teased, smirking as she wriggled out of her jeans.

"Am not," he said and, having remembered he had shoes on, kicked those off before trying to get out of his damn jeans. "You're gonna!"

[identity profile] flashesforinfo.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Angela stepped out of her jeans, leaving her shoes behind with them. "Oooh, fighting words," she remarked, grabbing a hairband from her bag to bundle her hair up into a messy bun as she started toward the water. Multitasking was useful in these situations.

"Feel lucky that I'm not a mean person," he said, finally kicking his own jeans off. "Or I'd just tackle you."

[identity profile] flashesforinfo.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Feeling very lucky," she said shooting him a grin as she tested the water with her toe. Technically, he still has a chance to get there first. Depends what they're counting as 'in' here.

"I could just push you," he said from behind her. Or he'd just be slow and admire the view. "That's a nice suit."

[identity profile] flashesforinfo.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"You wouldn't dare," Angela decided, smirking at him. "And thank you."

[identity profile] decoder-rings.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe not today," he allowed. "But I would dare. If the circumstances were right."

[identity profile] flashesforinfo.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why specifically not today?" she asked, finally stepping into the water. Angela didn't particularly want to get pushed in, but she was curious.

[identity profile] decoder-rings.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Because I don't want today to be ruined because I push you into the onsen and you hurt something," he said, finally following her.

[identity profile] flashesforinfo.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Aw." Angela grinned as she sunk down into the nice warm water. "Think I can give you that one," she decided.

"Thank you," he said and slid in next to her, grateful that the snow showers of sugar had stopped. "You get snowed on yesterday?"

[identity profile] flashesforinfo.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"It was tasty," she said, sliding down a little to submerge herself to her shoulders. "And almost as difficult to get out of my hair as the glitter."

[identity profile] decoder-rings.livejournal.com 2008-12-13 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"You ate the sugar?" Hannibal asked, grinning a little. "I was too afraid of where it had come from."

"You didn't stick your tongue out to catch snowflakes on it as a kid?" she asked.
