Lady Ghanima's Suite at the Arms Hotel; Early Saturday Evening [07/20].
A lot had changed around the island since Shunsui had last been here, some of them subtle, some of them more apparant, but the most noticeable and the least surprising was the people. Of course, a place like this, people came and they went, ships passing in the night, and so he had, in a way, expected that. And he found it far more surprising when, breezing by the window of the Perk and peeking in to see if a cute barista behind the counter might sway him into picking up a bit of a coffee habit, he did, in fact, see someone incredibly familiar.
"Ghani-chan~~ ♥ ♥ ♥!"
Of all the people to still be here on this fair island, he couldn't think of anyone better, and he told her so, in far more words and hearts than strictly necessary, and it was very clear that the two of them needed to drop everything that they were doing and catch up, somewhere where they served excellent sake or at the very least allowed Shunsui to pour his own. There was so much to catch up on, too, and Ghanima didn't hesitate a moment to remind him that there wouldn't be so much if someone had bothered to keep in touch or at the very least warn someone when they were planning on breezing back into town, and Shunsui, delighted, made sure to act properly humbled by and apologetic over such loving arrows of truth. She was right, of course, so very right, and wasn't it just wonderful how, even after all this time, some things never changed ♥?
After all this time, there was, in fact, so much to catch up on that it could not be merely contained within the confines of a small luncheon, and it was agreed between the both of them that the reunion continue somewhere a bit more...private. More...intimate. And while Shunsui had serendipitously secured the very same apartment he had inhabited so many years before (although still not his bonsai), they place was rather abysmal...also as it had been back then, more often than not. Ghanima's suite had always served them well in the past, and there, they could begin to truly begin catching up in earnest.
Or, at the very least, try.
These particular attempts at catching up, Shusnui was discovering to his dismay, were not going particularly well...
"Well, now, this is almost embarrassing!" he admitted at some point, sheepishness perhaps managing to reach his cheeks a little, but he laughed, disarmingly, like someone caught at something they weren't supposed to be doing but couldn't feel in the least bit bad about it. "They just don't make these gigai quite like they used to. Seems this one could use a bit more practice ♥!"
....oh, yeah. He was definitely blaming the gigai on this one.
[[ you didn't think I was going to have Shunsui show up on no-sex week and not take advantage of it to its fullest, right? For the permissively modded, lovely-lovely Ghani-chan and all the SP~~ ]]

Was she going to be an absolute troll and let him feel sheepish for a little bit? Yes, yes she was, if only for a few minuets. Perhaps if someone had bothered to keep up with his correspondence, he'd have known what he was walking into this week at Fandom.
...this week had Ghani...cranky. She was the master of her body, thank-you-very-much, and she'd survived more sex pollen weeks without losing her mind thanks to her cellular-level control over it, so this particular twist had her quite vexed.
"Perhaps we ought to write a letter to the manufacturer."
no subject
...but writing letters?
Tsch ♥.
And it was much more fun to be surprised by what he might discover by waltzing back so unannounced, even if particular...details of it weren't nearly as enjoyable.
"To that," he drawled, making no effort to hide that he was clearly making the most of the fact that the eyes in this new gigai were working sjust fine, "I may defer to your firm and determined hand, Ghani-chan ♥. We both know I'm no good with writing letters, anyway..."
Shameless. Utterly shameless about the fact. He was a very, very busy Captain, after all, how would he have found the time....between all those naps and all that carousing, hmmm?
"Battle ready in an instant, no doubt," he mused, taking a moment, perhaps, to flex a little and admire the fact that they certainly didn't skimp on the strength of his body, and figuring that if Ghanima was to treat him to such a spectacular vision, he should at least return the favor a little, "but for this? Clearly, they've gotten their priorities all wrong ♥."

"Shame on them, I'm warlike one in our charming duet," she joked, leaning over to brush an affectionate kiss on his cheek. "They ought to outfit you accordingly. Scandalous, I say, to give their Captain something so unsuited to his temperament."
"Sadly, I doubt it's their fault, as much fun as it would be make them experiment with new designs for us to test. It appears to be part of an island issue. I'd rather hoped your gigai would be immune, but alas."
Had she just tried to use him as a booty-call? Yes, yes she had, but Ghanima knew Shunsui didn't mind in the slightest.
no subject
It was a little shocking....but also not, at all, considering...how long the straw-body-in-a-robe trick was holding out. Wouldn't Nanao-chan just feel so silly once she'd realized she'd be bossing around a big dummy this whole time!
Silly, but not at all surprised. And likely pointing out that she bossed around a big dummy when Shunsui was there, too, so no wonder no one noticed the difference.
He smiled softly at the kiss, using the closeness to brush back some of that loose hair of hers and brush his thumb against her cheek in response. Even with all the...err....complications, moments like this would make ever ounce of trouble he'd be getting into worth it ten times over.
So, yes. It would be safe to say that he didn't mind being used for an experimental booty-call in the least.
"An island issue?" he asked, once he stopped just reveling in the moment and actually listened to what that beautiful voice was telling him. His voice sounded mildly amused, but also a bit confused. "I know this place is subject to its...unusual...quirky charms, but why in the world would this be one of them?"
To be fair, he had been gone for a very long time. And the quirky charm he remembered most vividly involved his hat and haori turning into beautiful, adoring women....so if this seemed a bit off the mark from his rose-colored nostalgia, one must forgive him...

His grin softened a little as his fingers found her shoulder to dance on softly. He didn't so much mind finishing, really; he was often starting things without finishing them. It was the starting that was half the fun and excitement, really...
"But this week, you said?" he asked, tilting his head. "So there is at least an end in sight, neh ♥? Perhaps we should merely keep trying, just to make sure we're the very firsts to know when it's finally passed us by...?"
Usually, Shunsui wouldn't be in a rush to be first in anything, but there were, naturally, exceptions to the rule...

Because Teenagers.
"Though I suppose it can't go on too much longer..." Ghani mused, pretending to think about it. "That sounds quite tempting. You, dear one, are a terrible influence on me."

Which did include, naturally, particular good naps.
But he was absolutely not thinking about naps at the moment, despite the island's persistent insistence that perhaps he'd be better off if he was.
