Becoming a regular at the gardens (asmodeus)

Mia had been so deep in the zone of relaxing that when someone spoke up in response to her words, it genuinely took a second to register between her ears and her brain. Her head lulled back forward slowly, her strong arms already laying along the edges of the pool behind her as she'd sank deep into the water, but as much as she wanted to relax, 90% of her instincts turned right the hell back to 11 when she saw the dame who'd uttered them. Mia's eyes grew wide for just a moment but quickly calmed as she began to take in the woman with a bit more...reasonable class. She was no animal, but she was no lady either, and while she recognized which of the two she was closer to, she had to behave at least a little. With a borderline cheeky smirk she let her eyes drift up and down the curvy woman before her. She seemed to have a more slim figure but the curve to her hips and the perkiness of such a sizeable...well, suffice to say Mia's attention was had from the moment she took this woman in.

"Now that's the good shit..." She couldn't help but letting that whisper slip out of her lips, probably just loud enough to be heard as the other woman stepped towards her, those sensual curves shifting down into the water but everything free to see. She tried not to be too perverse, but it was very clear she liked every bit of what she saw. In some small part precisely because of the mischievious glint in the other woman's eye, and also...her horns. Mia would be the first to admit, quirks weren't always...'attractive', but whenever she saw a beautiful woman who also had a quirk? Her sense of pride in that part of her own self just heightened her interest in that woman by at least 20 percent. The fact they were horns? Add another 10%....and heck, throw in another 30% for the fact they looked damn good on her. Mia took in a long, deep breath of the steamy air, making sure she kept a cool head and didn't act TOO forwardly, though as she continued to speak Mia got the impression this was a woman who was used to a bit more of a...forward approach.~

"Well feel free to enjoy it. I don't look this good for just my own benefit.~" She offered a sly wink and shifted a little more to get comfortable, her arms still resting along the edge of the hot spring pool. Her intent had been to calm down but suddenly she wasn't so keen to un-tense her muscles, a gentle sigh flowing out of her nose, relaxing still but not letting her tight, firm physique slip to the more subtly toned form she could take when at a full rest. "Though I mean, a few more compliments never go amiss.~" She chuckled just a little before laying her head back again, just catching the approaching member of staff out of the corner of her eye, reaching across herself and taking the drink. It had been delivered in a japanese gourd. She'd seen a few before but never had a drink from one before. She smirked at the staff member and asked "So I don't spill it?"

"Correct, Miss Red Horn.~"

Mia briefly debated correcting her to call her Mia, but something about having her hero title used always filled her with a sense of pride that she wouldn't wanna miss out on. She playfully tipped up the waitress' chin and gave her a playful look in turn. "Thanks beautiful.~" Any other place, this day and age? She'd worry that would cross the line, but this whole place seemed to radiate a more relaxed and playful atmosphere even from the staff. Mia would lift the gourd for a sip as the waitress turned to leave with the tray she'd delivered the drink on, Mia turning her gaze back to the woman before her...and deciding to be a little more forward to see just what kind of nature she had.

Lunging up out of the water, she'd hook an arm around the woman's hip and pull her down in a swift motion, despite the strength behind it she oddly didn't seem to disturb the water much, and if asmodeus didn't resist, she'd have an arm around the woman's waist as she sat her across her lap, giving her a cheeky smirk as her hand squeezed into the side of her hip a little, enjoying getting a feel for her soft, smooth flesh as she maintained a coy gaze.

"So, 'mistress' huh? In my experience only two people get called that...the snobby ones..." She'd lean in with a slightly more husky tone. "And the fun ones...mind telling me which side of the line you sit on beautiful?~" She'd offer the gourd across, not expecting her to accept or decline it as a 'test' or anything but just genuinely offering it. Whether she took a sip or not, Mia would lift the gourd back herself and take a hearty chug of it before laying it beside the pool. Assuming she still had the woman in her arm, she'd let her free arm rest along the pool, just gazing into her bright eyes that seemed to shimmer through the steam, wondering if she'd just gotten a little more lucky than she thought she might taking things to the hot spring.

Mia's type always lingered on classy, elegenat women who might normally turn their nose up at her, but those with a playful side always made her all the more interested. So far, this woman was flirtatiously forward, had the long hair and poise of a more classy style of woman, and something about those horns...looking so elegant yet so sinful. She was never one to judge a person by their quirks, but if they spoke at all to her personality, Mia felt she had just introduced herself to a VERY interesting young woman.

With the woman seeming so keen to play with her own advances, Mia wasn’t opposed to a bit of playful flirting in turn. She was here to relax afterall, and even with her resistances to toxins, she could feel the drinks she’d had already tonight starting to work their way into her system. She rubbed her hands together a little eagerly as she just felt her whole body loosen up being in the presence of someone who took her playful teasing so readily and returned it with a seemingly sultry tone of her own. Tall, slender, but with perfect curves, a very ‘womanly’ figure that looked like it could reeeeally be a delight to explore. And since she was taking Mia’s advances so well, The Oni made no efforts to hide the way her eyes trailed up and down this woman’s body consistently, not seeming to focus on her breasts, her lips, or her hips or legs like one might, but taking in eeeevery inch of this beauty before her without discrimination.

“If your priority is quality, I gotta ask. Does that apply to the women? Cause babe you are one of the highest quality dames I’ve seen in a long while…~” Sometimes Mia got the feeling if any of her cheesy, cheeky lines came out of the mouth of a guy they’d sound sleezy and poorly thought out, but Mia felt she always held the confidence and swagger to pull lines like that off while still seeming charming. Seriously though, hot water, booze, a beautiful woman she swore to hell must have had some sorta hypno quirk cause she could not take her eyes off of them for a second…and even more she even seemed more than receptive when the blonde boldly tugged them onto her lap. She was in heaven right now, and she was hopeful she wouldn’t have to leave any time soon…~

Leaning backwards with alcohol still resting on her tongue, Mia was caught off guard as the temptress in her lap made her own forward move, pushing into her body and meeting her lips. Mia’s eyes briefly bulged, starting to wonder if all beautiful women in Japan were this…’open’, but of course she held no complaints. A pulse flowed down her throat as she swallowed back what alcohol she had on her tongue, closing her eyes for a moment and lightly grasping the raven black lockes of the beautiful woman meeting her lips, displaying in that moment she herself had experience to spare as she worked the woman’s lips with a dedicated furvor that, despite being brief, would have definitely shown that she was no slouch when it came to a bit of lip work, her roughness showing through a little in the kiss, but in a way that only served to heighten the experience.

“Damn…and I thought I was forward…~” She let out a soft chuckle as she rested one hand on the small of the woman’s back as her other hand laid back along the edge of the hot spring. From the way she acted Mia wouldn’t doubt this woman was a fair bit older than she looked. Meanwhile, thanks to her gruffer features, especially while in a more muscular form than when she was completely relaxed, Mia tended to pass for just a bit older than her actual age. Not that she minded, it always lead people to believe she had more life experiences than she did, and heck, half the time she lived up to it thanks to her dedication to a task and general aptitude for street smarts. Suffice to say, she also had plenty of…’practical experience’, in certain areas, for her age.~ “So…do I get another one of those everytime I take a sip?~”

She let out a slightly more hearty chuckle at the teasing line as to what side of the line she sat on, and Mia gently ran her nails along the woman’s lower back as her free arm continued to rest along the pool, thoroughly enjoying the smooth sensations of this woman’s body as she leaned back and just ate her up with her eyes. “I dunno…I mean you know the old saying. Noodles are dry till wet and…” She glanced around with a comical pause as her eyes gestured silently to the hot spring water. “We ain’t exactly dry….though, to be fair, if this is some gay-ifying hot spring I might come here a lot more often.~” She of course knew now which side of the line this woman rested her perfect ass on, but sticking out her tongue she couldn’t have resisted that cheeky little joke.

Smiling warmly she gently tried to straddle Mia, leaning forward, a gesture which the athletic woman would surely enjoy considering the pillowy sensation that she felt against her chest, and yet it was a sensation that would be just as distracting as the tempting whispers in Mia's ear, the seductive tone of the temptress her voice lingering.
Taking in the woman’s name, Mia slowly became a little more engaged as she felt the woman shift atop her, forgetting for a moment they were in a mostly public place and wrapping both arms now around the woman, her muscles not calming down anymore as they remained step or two above her fully relaxed ‘mildly toned’ state, still holding a bit of bulk as was normal for her in this kind of situation. “Rebecca huh? You prefer the full name or you more of a Becky girl?~” She smirked and licked her lips idly, eager to get a little more of those soft, succulent lips that had way more skill than Mia initially expected…she loved it when girls had the bite for their bark.

“As far as my legends go though…gotta say, little disappointed.~ I’m this amazing and I ain’t able to get a legend worthy of me? Damn I gotta try harder.~” She let out a sly little snicker, holding the woman a little tighter in her strong arms, idly starting to let a hand flow up and down the inner curve of her waist.

At the prospect of a show, Mia cheekily slipped in “Ain’t much of a show if yer already naked~” With a sly smirk, the assumption of course that a show in this context was a strip tease of sorts. But no, seemed this woman was a performer for the bar or something. Well, she’d definitely be okay seeing her work. It wasn’t like they could get away with too much in these hot springs afterall. She wondered how she could help, narrowing her gaze in curiosity, but ultimately shrugged and held a warm smile. “Hey if I can help a beautiful babe like you, I’m livin’ my life right. How can I help?~”

Mia’s brow quirked a little as the woman hinted that her quirk absorbed stamina like some sort of fantasy creature, and despite the fact she told people she herself was some sort of Oni, Mia wasn’t the kind to be knowledgeable in such topics. Beyond the fact their power was focused in their horn in a lot of legends, Mia knew very little about how the Japanese rage demons worked, and was a little lost for a moment when the woman suggested it should be easy to guess her own influence. Still, even if uneducated in this field, Mia wasn’t ignorant, and soon enough the lightbulb came alight as she realized what the woman was referring to, and suddenly let out a pleasant growl as she leaned in a little closer to her.

“I’m all yours…~” She’d mutter out, before the two women began their dirty little deed.

----

After a surprisingly…draining session, Mia, normally alight with stamina compared to her partners, actually was feeling a hint of exhaustion. Nothing too serious, they hadn’t been at it for too long afterall, but there was certainly something there, a small ache in the back of her shoulders or the like that hinted that she’d pushed herself, and doing so with much less effort than it should have taken. She could still move, and she didn’t even come close to feeling like she needed a nap, but she could tell if that had gone on she might have been left a little winded by the end of it…though it certainly still would have taken it’s sweet time to get to that.

Asmodeus however was bubbly as every second before, leaving Mia to very well believe she did have some stamina draining aspect to her quirk, and hadn’t just been teasing the blonde into a kinky little bit of fun. Pushing up from the pool, rolling her shoulders back, not about to be hiding anything after what the two of them had just done, she’d scoff a little at her teasing words. “More of that? Now I definitely have to watch the show. I’m sure you’ll be able to find me. The bright blond hair and the bright red horn aren’t too hard to miss.~”

She’d wait outside the changing rooms as Asmodeus got changed ahead of her, then went inside to get dressed herself before heading back out to the main bar area. People had shifted, come and gone, and her seat at the bar had long since been taken, but she didn’t mind too much, rolling back her shoulders and loosening up, she’d grab a fresh mug of beer before going to find a seat, which itself wasn’t too hard when she was tall enough to see over everyone in the crowd.

When she found a seat, she’d make sure she was angled towards the main stage, taking a hefty sip of her drink. She wasn’t usually one for singing and the like, but she WAS one for elegant, sensual women, and a woman like the one she’d met in the hot springs? She was convinced that the moment a woman like that stepped out, Mia would be captivated by the performance.

Mia let herself finish having a soak in the hot spring with a relaxed sigh leaving her nose, but she made sure not to linger too long so as not to miss the show, soon getting herself out and hurriedly drying her hair. It came out spikey and messy and still clearly a little damp, but honestly that wasn’t much worse than how she usually had her hair. She wasn’t exactly the person to comb and brush it afterall, and more than once she’d had a bath only to find chunks of rubble from a fight still stuck in her hair.

As she returned to the main room she’d take a seat by the bar and wait for the show to start, her eyes widening a little as the atmosphere rapidly shifted to accommodate it. Now, she wasn’t ever the kind to be…impressed? Eh, that’s probably the closest thing to the right word. Mia just found it difficult to find a true sense of awe in other talents. There was a clear sense of “Damn, I could never do that” if the talent was say, arts, singing, so on, but it never hit her with that wow factor like it might have been hitting so many in the bar.

Still, she could say it was damn good. Not entirely to her taste, but not at all an atmosphere she minded either. She’d keep her eyes on the show with a gentle smile as she slowly nursed a fresh bare, holding it in her lap rather than on the bar so she didn’t have to keep turning away from the show to take a sip.

“Oh yeah?” She’d idly ask the bartender as they tried to address her, trying not to be rude and turn her head fully away from the songstress. The idea of this being a place people enjoyed so much they kicked out their buddies if they started any issues was a nice kind of atmosphere, and reminded her of the more close knit communities you’d find in the bars she frequented back in Texas, if a whole lot grander in scale and the like. “Guess I might end up being a regular here afterall.~” She smirked again, finishing up her drink and listening to the end of the show.

As things wound up Mia was already making for her wallet to try and pay off her tab for the nighjt, but glancing up to the bartender as they offered that golden card and drinks on the house…she couldn’t help but chuckle. “God I’d say I’m having a lucky night but I think it’s getting’ a whole lot luckier at this rate…” She’d give a small two fingered salute with the gold card between her fingers, then leave about 20 dollars in Yen regardless. “That’s a tip for you personally then.”

With that, she’d head off in the direction she was given, and smugly present the gold card to whoever was in her way.
