"Here we are!" Haruhi exclaims, raising her hands high in the air. The building is a magnificent sight, truly. All wooden with an a small blue overhang that says "Bath" in Japanese and lucky cats and wow~! I couldn't look better if she had built it herself

Asch made a face, a hand going to the side of his head. What the hell... how did he get himself dragged into this mess anyway? With a sigh, he entered the changing room, closing the door behind him and looking around. There was bathroom supplies, towels and... that was about it?

"Um... Haruhi!?" he called loud enough for her to hear. "What am I supposed to be changing into?!"

Something told him he really wasn't going to like the answer to that question...

[haruhee]

"Nothing~" she calls, laughing little to herself. "You can wrap a towel around your waist, though!"

She strips, folding her things before throwing them into a basket. Grabbing the soaps she wants, she tosses them into a bucket before getting a towel and making her way outside. Once there, she upends the bucket, sitting on its upturned surface before turning a small showerhead on. She meeps as the cold water hits her, quickly finding a better temperature.

"Wh-what?!" Asch shouted back, turning an amusing shade of red. Even when he lived in the manor, he had preferred to wash himself -- in private -- then let the servants do it for him. Besides, the scars all over his body was not something for girls -- even Haruhi -- to see.

Haruhi thinks she might heard something, but the shower is still on and she's washing her hair, so she just ignores it. Moving onto conditioner, she wonders what's taking Asch so long.

Lelouch smiled as he walked up the steps of the Onsen. He was quite pleased when he heard there was one here since he had been wanting to get away and relax. There was nowhere he could think of to go except for a place like this. He didn't know why he was so stressed, but stress frequently plagued the life of Lelouch vi Britannia.

"Mm... This place is a little nicer than I expected, considering the condition of the rest of Somarium..." he mumbled to himself as he opened the front doors into the lobby. When he set foot inside, he noticed a certain red-head looking about anxiously.

Lelouch walked up behind him and put his hand on the red-head's shoulder, "Ahh, Asch! I did not expect to see you here."

[x_bloody_asch_x]

Asch let out a rather uncharacteristically high-pitched squeak, spinning around in surprise. So much for thinking this day couldn't get any worse; first the blue haired idiot, and now Lelouch. Who was going to walk through those doors next? Vamp?

...STOP THINKING!

He coughed, trying to hide his embarrassment at his reaction.

"Lelouch," he returned, keeping his voice steady, before explaining, "I got dragged here by my roommate, but..."

[yougotgeassed]

Lelouch raised his eyebrows, "Roommate? I wasn't aware you had a roommate, Asch. It would be my pleasure to meet them. However, you sound unsure about being here... considering you were dragged here... Places like this are quite relaxing."

Lelouch began walking towards the doors to the back, "Care to join me?"

[x_bloody_asch_x]

Hear that, Lelouch? That loud snapping sound? That was the sound of Asch's brain breaking in half. Even if you didn't hear the sound, the blank stare he's giving you is a pretty good indication that he isn't exactly functioning very well at the moment.

After a moment, Asch clenched his hands, shaking his head back and forth quickly to clear it.

"But, that's..." he began, trying to fumble for the right words to describe how uncomfortable this was for him. "...this is normal for you?"
