"Yeah.. Didn't you win one at that arcade event?"" Hayato asked thoughtfully.

"Which one did you pick?"

"I did. I have one ancestral baseball machine sitting in my room. For a game with such unusual origins it really is quite fun."

"How did I know that's the one you would pick?" Hayato asked with a chuckle. "That's going to be a fun one to have around the house though. Especially with kids."

"You just...know I have strong arms, for hitting things with. It was a logical deduction."
Cocking her head slightly

"Oh yes, the children would like it too. Maybe they will become baseballers?"

"Anything is possible." Hayato replied with a soft chuckle.

"That is if you don't wear it out yourself beforehand." Which was possible with Shoan's love of hitting things.

"Oh I'll make sure it's maintained the best of my abilities. That is an heirloom and my children will pass it on to their children. All will know the strength of the Arcade."

"It seems you might raise a family of gamers like that and not baseballers." He teased her at the thought. "Still I suppose if Lion gamers are like you, its not so bad of a thing."

"I'm not even sure what it is to be a 'Gamer'...don't you have to stay inside a lot? I believe there were also 'memes'...that's all I know."

"I admit I'm not an exoert." He paused thoughtfully. "There is a Bayushi here I've met that might be in the know though."

"Uh....that does sound like a Scorpion. They probably spend lots of time inside planning...whatever it is they plan?"

"Bayushi Tenma-san is a bit of a strange ope. "She's pretty open and friendly too, though I will say her closing choices are..."

"Light?" He paused. "I've observed on all of out meetings that she has very healthy thighs."

"Ah....I vaguely remember a scorpion with nice thighs....hmmm, it must have been the same one. Open and friendly? Must be part of the keikaku."

"I suppose it could be." He mused thoughtfully. Honestly the crab seemed more keikaku oriented though. "Do you think she would tell me if I asked?"

"Hmmmm. That's tough, she might, but it could also still be part of the plan? It's hard to tell with the Scorpion."

"Well, I suppose I'll know for certain if she tries to drag me into one of the restrooms at the Wisteria and kiss me." Hayato offered thoughtfully.

"Ah, the old bathroom kiss...romantic?"
Shoan couldn't imagine that going well for anyone..but then again, she'd never explored bathrooms before.

"I mean, maybe if the moment is right?" Hayato replied with a shrug.

"Though typically no." He added with a soft chuckle.

"I'm not sure how the moment could ever be right for that."

Hayato sighed softly.

"I'm going to have to paint the picture for you aren't I?"

He sighed lightly. "Imagine a year from now, you and Nozomi are married, and you hear water running in the sink in the bathroom. A slight smile tugs at your lips as you get out of bed on near silent feet to find your wife getting ready for the day. Your smile becomes wider as you sneak up behind her and wrap your arms around her and pull her close. She's a little startled at first, but relaxes into your arms when she sees its you. You look down at her your eyes taking in her half applied make-up her smile, her lips. Then you dip in and press your lips against hers in your first kiss of the new day."

"mmmmmhm......"
Shoan could feel it, smell it. Nozomi would be so warm and then...wait

blink blink
"hmmm? Sorry, I was...thinking about something important. We were talking about bathrooms?"
