“Yeah, I know Japanese… I suppose I never told you this, but I’m a god-tier weeb.” GiGi shrugged. “I’ve traveled there quite a few times too, so I definitely know my way around if you feel like following up on this.”<br/><br/><br/><br/>Linden had been staring through the whole ordeal, her keen eyes catching every detail in the brief moment before Ziyou slipped back into her garment.<br/><br/>Biting her lip, she said, “Believe me. You have<i>nothing</i>to be embarrassed about.” She gave a faux curtsy gesture towards the other two women. “I’m Linden, by the way. I don’t think we had a chance for introductions earlier.”<br/><br/>GiGi held out her hand. “You can call me GiGi. It’s… a pleasure… to meet you.”<br/>Linden shook it firmly and grinned. “Hopefully we’ll continue to have a… pleasurable… friendship.”<br/><br/>They continued to grasp hands and make eyes at each other for a few moments before GiGi slipped away. “I… think I’m gonna go cleaned up.”<br/><br/>“I’ll join you!” Linden chimed in, skipping after her.<br/><br/>GiGi turned back for a moment. “Uh. You want to come along Zi? They’ve basically got a whole spa here, back down on the other end of the beach. We can indulge in some actual R&R before getting back to whatever business we had.”<br/><br/>The bath complex was constructed by the beach’s wealthier patrons. Each suite had a room for people to undress and dry off afterwards and a very fancy set-up with both a bath and a large shower chamber. Linden immediately plopped down on a plush sofa in the antechamber.<br/><br/>“Wow. These are swanky. I’d never been in here before. I always just washed off in the sea.”
