The Onsen; Thursday Afternoon [11/07].
Shunsui Kyōraku was a very large bundle of significant character flaws thrown into one big, ostentatious package, but one thing he always did strive for was keeping his promises. Even the silly ones, or perhaps especially the silly ones, because they were usually much easier and required very little of him, such as merely coming to the onsen every day from this day forth until Octavia-chan got her tattoo.
Including the day when he knew she'd be at work at the flower shop, despite the fact that the whole point of it was that she'd be in the onsen with him. But after yesterday, he felt he needed a moment where he could be sure he could be in the onsen without her to clear his head a little. The whole awkward situation that had occurred had gotten him thinking, and it'd only been a day and he was already wondering how people could even stand thinking so much. He knew so many people who just spent their whole days, just thinking, and he didn't know how they could stand it, it was awful, or maybe he was just no good at it, but he just needed to relax a little, get his mind off the endless loop it'd gotten itself into, pinwheels and sorrow doves, mirrored swords and promises.
So he sank into the water with a sigh, tilting his head back, closing his eyes, and thought maybe he was getting too old for this sort of thing. And then he thought, ugh, another thought. But the water was doing a wonderful job diluting them, though there still seemed to be something...missing. He turned all that pesky thinking toward that something missing with a rare focus, trying to parse it out--
--ah-ha! That was it!
...unfortunately, apparently, no, they did not have someone on the staff that could play shamisen, so sorry, and Shunsui was just going to give them a withering look of disappointment before slinking back into the pool, ruminating now on what a completely wasted opportunity for an excellent experience for their guests that was, and whether or not he should try to learn the shamisen to fill the gap, but, no, no, that just wouldn't be the same...
...but maybe, just maybe, he should get the girls out tonight for some training.
But no. Probably not.
Ara~, having thoughts was so annoying. He could really use that shamisen right about now.
[[ open onsen is open, of course! ]]
