[SO. After Kashuu's texted everyone to round up the posse and passed out the directions - to Grell, anyway, since Lili's already been here before - he hops his way on over to the pleasure district (while thinking to himself that really, someone needs to start a spa in a more tasteful location, gosh).

Not that he's embarrassed to be here, though. He's standing in front of the spa's entrance, hands on his hips, looking around with a muted, distracted sort of curiosity as people mill past. During the daytime, it's pretty relaxing to be here, actually... But!! He immediately snaps out of whatever thoughts he's currently contemplating when Punk 1 and Punk 2 finally arrive, waving them over with enthusiasm.]

Hey! I already got us signed up for the best stuff, but you can take a look through this, if you want.

[He's got a pamphlet in his hand that lists out everything from Ridiculously Expensive Facials to hot stone massages. This place has it all...]

But suffering can mean so many things! Suffering under stress, for something noble, suffering for love...oh, one doesn't need to be suffering, but some of the deepest sentiments in life can only be found through it.

[she says this without a trace of being self conscious, moving along with them. thankfully this attendant isn't looking back and has probably seen worse than anything Grell throws out...]

But for your sakes I'll make the attempt to simply relax. I promise.

[adornmental]

[THAT'S AN EVEN MORE WORRYING THING TO HEAR. Grell sounds like a lot of the older swords and spirits he knows when she talks like that, honestly... He glances over his shoulder with a look of Vague Concern before he's guided into one of a row of seats, all set side by side. Easy to talk this way, at least!]

That's, like... A different way of looking at things, I guess.

[Different, but not necessarily bad?! Hopefully?? He sure is hoping so.]

But this is totally the place to relax if you're gonna! It smells nice and the music and water sound good, right? Taking a little time out for yourself everyone once in a while is a perfect way to strike a balance here.

[grell: ic advocate of the pain train

Lili's just as surprised, even as she's taking a seat herself?! Goodness, what...... The attendants all sort of flutter around them, getting them ready for their spa treatments. But Lili's still fixating on what came out of Grell's mouth?!]

I...

I suppose that suffering is sometimes necessary in order to see results - but please don't let yourself suffer in this place.

[this is supposed to be a fun thing, fam]

[erythristic]

Of course not. That's why we're here, is it not?

[to enjoy themselves? goodness, why are you both looking at her like she said something strange...she only said the truth.

but as it is no more bizarre proclamations come out of her mouth, and she lets the attendants do as they please. today was more of a luxury than anything else, and there's something gloriously fun in that.

so don't worry, starbucks squad, she's happy and radiating that proudly.]

[adornmental]

[Sometimes the truth is just A Mess, okay...

But since Grell really does seem to be having a good time, Kashuu relaxes a little too, content to let people fuss over his face and hair all they want. At some point, he'll make a vague remark--]

Huh... Does anyone know what this is? It smells kinda familiar.

[Something's scented with wisteria, but since it doesn't grow in the mountains, it's been a while since he's smelled it back home.]

[coastal]

[ . . . . oh.

She hadn't even noticed it until he points it out, but Lili's just humming softly at the question. However given the fact that she works in a flower shop, there's really no way that she can't place it.]

Wisteria.

It was in the arrangement I made for you.

[In about two seconds though, her eyes snap open and she begins screaming internally.

Oh dear god that's embarrassing to say out loud.]
