"Right." He agreed with a nod.

"I mean I'm pretty sure it's required when you put two highly trained bushi in an atv together.

"I believe I read it in a manual somewhere."

"....You read a manual?"

"......"

"Once."

Sound a little amused
"Well, nobody is perfect. I hope it was for something complicated?"

"I known reading shows poorly on a bushi's adaptability."

He sighs softly. "But this was extremely complicated."

"Hmmm. Something extremely complicated.....you didn't try to read a manual on women did you?"

"My sister's did send me here with romance magazines." He repleid thoughtfully.

"But I only looked at the pictures."

Shoan slowly looks over at Hayato and then back out the window
"...Well I can't blame you, they can be dull."

"There is nothing quite like experience either."

Is lips quirked into a half smile. "Is that where you learned all that stuff about shins?"

"N-no. That was just good old fashioned common sense....and what my grandmother told me once when I was young."

"Mmm... Grandmothers are known for their good advice." Hayato replied thoughtfully.

"I guess I know why you were really outside the lingerie shop then." His tone turned teasing. "You were after victory underwear."

Frowning slightly
"Victory underwear? I do not know the brand...is it shin based?"

"It's not a brand." Hayato offered with a slight chuckle.

"It's the type of thing you're likely to wear for your wedding night with Kitsu-san. To make is a bit more... special."

"Ahhhh. Like with little prayers on it, maybe a verse from leadership? Ceremonial gear?"

Hayato hit the brakes, bringing the jeep to a stop. It took him a moment to pull up a Vanji's Secret catalogue on his densao and a few more to find something that might suit the Ikoma. Still he managed and eventually he passed the device to Shoan.

"I think this might work for you." He offered letting her see the rather riaque undergarments, that were in a red instead of the superior beige. "You can even write some prayers into the silk if you want to."

“Wait what are you-“
She takes the device and Hayato is treating to Shoan’s eyes almost popping out of her skull
“Hayato-san! That one is transparent in all the parts that aren’t meant to be transparent!”

"Which is what makes it for victories." Hayato replied with a soft chuckle.

"Or so I'm told."

“It’s hardly a victory... gosh you would have to be really into your grooming....”
Shoan goes to hand the device back and pauses before slowly retracting her hand and browsing through more images.
“I mean, I can see the attraction I suppose.”

"Grooming is important." Hayato replied as he set the jeep back into motion. "You think I shave everyday because i love the way a razor feels on my skin?"

He smirked and glanced her way. "It's not like it's for every time either, just special occasions, when you want to make someone's jaw drop."

“Well, beards are different.”
Murmuring “I think Kitsu-san might have a heart attack.
