[Open] Oh really now?

[sparkplug_chan]

Practicing with the new weather... issue was an interesting thing to try to do. Especially given the water formations seemed especially prevalent on the outdoor training fields.

She didn't, however, hesitate to work with her elements, since if nothing else, she'd long since learned how to deal with Naruto, and it would be fun to finally be able to spring an appropriate reaction on him when he did a dousing jutsu to try to shortcut in their spars.

Unfortunately, it also meant that when she decided to take a break she was sopping wet, her clothes were half falling off, and she'd had to chase her sword across the field when one of the spouts had landed on her.

"Ah, I uh.. y-yeah, I know. Just thought you might wanna stay out a bit longer." he always loses doesn't he?

[sparkplug_chan]

"No. You're not the only one I've seen out here today."

[konohasuperstar]

"Was I the best one out of all you saw then?" he grinned.

[sparkplug_chan]

"Of course not, the other one was a Naruto."

[konohasuperstar]

"I sure get beat easily. You know, I kinda do have yet to meet that guy for aaaaall I hear of him." he fell into step downwind.

[sparkplug_chan]

"There are a few. Maybe you'll get lucky and spot one, mm?"

[konohasuperstar]

"Ahaha, so I gotta get lucky huh? Who knows! Can't wait to see if they're different from Menma."

[sparkplug_chan]

"The littlest one is the most unique from what I've observed, but we'll see." She gave a small shrug. "Right?"

[konohasuperstar]

"Aha~ Yeah. We'll definitely see." he gave a nod. "Lotsa people to meet, and so far most of it's been fun."

[sparkplug_chan]

She moved up to open the door, then pointed him toward the bath before starting that way herself. "Pretty much. You're filthy and I'm sopping wet.

[konohasuperstar]

"Ahaha, yeah. I swear I won't look. Just stare at the ceiling." and if anyone happened to walk in on that, it would be potentially a shock.

[sparkplug_chan]

She gave a slow blink at that. "What are you so worried about?"

[konohasuperstar]

"Neesan said she'd uh... manipulate when I can have kids if I do anything to a female me? Not takin chances!"

[sparkplug_chan]

"As though I'd let you touch me." She snorted softly and slipped into the outer room, undoing her shirt.

[konohasuperstar]

"I bet you she can tell if I even looked! I ain't takin any chances!"

[sparkplug_chan]

"Calm down won't you? Unless you're worried you won't be able to help yourself?" She dropped the shirt, then undid her shorts to slide them off her too.

[konohasuperstar]

"My willpower is stronger than steel!" he humphed, taking off his shirt a small ways away, then the sleeveless one underneath. "...unless there's other stuff stronger than that. Granite maybe?" a pause.

She was probably used to having someone naked to look at anyways, right? Just like she felt okay with that person's eyes on her. Maybe her saying that just meant she accepted him as part of a really small number of people that she didn't mind lying eyes on her like this.

"...but yeah... I'm just being stupid." after all, he sounded pretty ridiculous, he thought in retrospect. It could just end up as being naturally there, naked and not minding really.

[sparkplug_chan]

More that she viewed you as no threat. No matter how vain you act, the idea of you actually having sexual interest in her never seriously crossed her mind. "You make a habit of that, I'm noticing." She gathered the clothes and put them in the hamper before putting her Hitai-ate on a shelf and striding off to wash, calm as you please.

[konohasuperstar]

"It's that bad?" he frowned lightly, throwing an inquisitive glance towards her as he took of pants and underwear. "Or is it just bad publicity?"

[sparkplug_chan]

"I'm more critical because I know perfectly well that you're smarter than you act." She scrubbed herself down with quick efficiency, glancing to check on her stack of weapons absently.

[konohasuperstar]

"If people don't want to look deeper and think that's all there is to me, I don't mind." he shrugged, settling down to scrub energetically. "It's not being disrespectful to other people's intelligence if I'm this way and they notice it can't be all I got, right? Up to em to dig deeper."

[sparkplug_chan]

"Maybe so, but I know better so I'm going to say as I intend to say."

[konohasuperstar]

"Acting like an idiot has its perks too. People sure are caught off-guard when you turn out suddenly serious."

[sparkplug_chan]

She paused a moment, then smirked, heading to the tub. "And people are dazed when someone like myself shows off humor."

[konohasuperstar]

"Are they?" he was going slow about his own rinsing and scrubbing, enjoying it. "These people sure haven't met me yet, then."
