(D1 EA) Some Minor Hangups (Expecting/Closed)

[Hiruma Sen]

Another slow blink, “I think... I understand? You thought I was gonna feel up your calf or somethin’?”

[Moshi Meiko]

Another slow blink, “I think... I understand? You thought I was gonna feel up your calf or somethin’?”

Meiko gasps, vigorously shaking her head and her hands

“Oh no, you’re an honourable samurai, nothing like that! It’s just... you know... a little personal. You’re so handsome and kind and caring and nice smelling and strong and good at piggybacks that people might get the wrong idea, like if your dad came in.”

[Hiruma Sen]

“...Handsome?” Sen just looked at the Moshi with a confused expression. “My dad wouldn’t get the wrong idea. He knows me well enough, I’d think.”

[Moshi Meiko]

“...Handsome?” Sen just looked at the Moshi with a confused expression. “My dad wouldn’t get the wrong idea. He knows me well enough, I’d think.”

“Oh, and modest too, it’s very impressive!”
Looking around for a few moments and seeming to come to a decision.
“...okay, my calf is a little strained. And”
Deep breath
“If you wish you may apply some of the balm. ”

[Hiruma Sen]

“The balm is more for blisters and burns.” Sen picked up the jar and the lid off the ground and started screwing the lid back on. “I was askin’ because I remembered your limp from earlier. Your ankle seems fine, but you may have overextended your calf. If you want a bit of a massage, I wouldn’t be opposed at all.”

It seemed very gentlemanly to Meiko, asking if she was sure. So she meets Sen’s eyes and nods firmly.

“I’m uh, sure.”
Wait until captain-sama heard about this, it was almost like hand holding, but with a leg!

[Hiruma Sen]

Sen was actually a little surprised by the Moshi being so quick to agree to that. Well, the Hiruma might as well make good on that offer. One hand rested on the ankle as the other slipped up the back of Meiko’s calf. “Where is it most tender?”

“Uh...”
She points at a random spot
“It’s pretty sore there.”

[Hiruma Sen]

Sen just nodded as that spot became the first spot that would be massaged. Thumb digging in ever so slightly, swirling in circles as the Hiruma’s hand moved up and down.

“How are you finding the village?”

[Moshi Meiko]

Sen just nodded as that spot became the first spot that would be massaged. Thumb digging in ever so slightly, swirling in circles as the Hiruma’s hand moved up and down.

“How are you finding the village?”

“Mmmmmhm, mmmmmmmh”
It takes a few moments for Meiko to register the question as the Moshi seems enamoured with calf related issues.
“Mmmmhm? Oh it’s lovely. The docks are.... very lively. But I like the rest of the settlement and you’ve got so much room. I grew up in a valley so this is a wonderful change. I think it’s a great place to host a wedding.”

[Hiruma Sen]

“You know,” Sen started, still massaging Meiko’s calves gently, “most people with a pulled calf would have felt discomfort when rubbin’ out the tender spots.”

It seems that the Hiruma had noticed how into the massage Meiko was.

“Oh? I mean... uh, oh! Yes, lots of discomfort. But a good samurai never reveals their discomfort.”
The now very pink Meiko seems to be trying to avoid eye contact.
“It must just be a testament to your skills.”

[Hiruma Sen]

“I’m a complete novice at this.” Sen gave Meiko a smirk, hand brushing against the back of her knee. “You’re pretty tough, then. Though, you look a bit red in the face.”

[Moshi Meiko]

“I’m a complete novice at this.” Sen gave Meiko a smirk, hand brushing against the back of her knee. “You’re pretty tough, then. Though, you look a bit red in the face.”

Meiko nearly jumps foot into the air when the back of her knee was touched

“That’s uh- I’m hot, it’s very warm, don’t you feel how warm it is? So warm.”

[Hiruma Sen]

“Eh? It’s not hot.” Sen paused the massage, a bit of worry crossing her features. “You okay? I could run you a bath... No, if you have whiplash or something that would be bad.”

[Moshi Meiko]

“Eh? It’s not hot.” Sen paused the massage, a bit of worry crossing her features. “You okay? I could run you a bath... No, if you have whiplash or something that would be bad.”

"A bath?"

Images flood Meiko's mind, lurid filthy images of hand holding and calf touching, a bath would mean she'd be...she'd be

"YouknowwhatactuallyIshouldbegoing."
The previously incapacitated Moshi jumps to her feet and quickly collects her things

"Um, this was great, you're great, it's not you, it's me."
And then she hurtles out of the house, legs furiously pumping, only turning mid stride to wave behind her and shout
"But we should do this again sometime!"
Before continuing on her mad evacuation.

[Hiruma Sen]

Sen was absolutely puzzled by that reaction. Why did she run off like that? Wait, how was she not limping? The Hiruma just watched Meiko from the doorway, still completely dumbfounded.

“Was it something I said?” Sen mused, hand stroking chin thoughtfully.
