The two kitsune made out in the hot spring for a while, several of the other patrons openly watching them, though none dared to bother either of them.  Eventually, Valerie helped Ahri off of her lap and stood up.  "Well, it might be best if we go to the piercing shop soon," she said to Ahri as she wrapped a towel around herself.<br/><br/>The shop was a quick walk from the hot springs, and at first looked like a very nice jewelry shop.  It had a few normal pieces, but nearly everything on display was a piercing of some kind, some made with gold and other precious metals, with others made with far cheaper metals, though those weren't on display nearly as much.  "Joseph, I've got a customer for you," Valerie called out as they entered.  A large, muscular human walked out from the backroom, giving Valerie a smile as he came out.  "Yeah?  Hey Valerie," he said as he walked out of the backroom, looking at Valerie and Ahri in turn, though he completely ignored Serii.  "What can I help you two with?"
