It is, but it’s more of who’s at the head of this operation that makes me wonder.

[Leona stops on the banisters, giving them a clear view of the stage below. Already, he can see the ‘guests’ coming in. Sailors, noblemen—those with prestige and enough money lining their pockets.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

Any ideas?

[Seth leans on the railing]

So..the point of this place is for girls to dance for guys?

[sunsetking]

Among other things.

[He peers down.]

It’s almost like a display for what’s being offered. The one who dances the best is often the most expensive to be bought for the night. Among other things.

[Leona frowns a bit to himself.]

Sometimes it’s just basic entertainment. Other times, it’ll lead to more…indecent acts.

[bloodthirstydawn]

….if it’s just one night then at least it can’t be that bad?

[He hopes]

Considering the girl would be returned and all…

[Seth never been to a place like this. But the girls that come out to serve and entertain are really pretty. Even Seth can’t help but look at them.]

…this place feels expensive

[sunsetking]

It depends on how things go.

[Leona sighs as his tail sways.]

This place alone is more expensive than Moroha’s town.

[And that’s saying something considering how the town isn’t exactly poor either.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

Seriously?

[His ears shoot up at that. That’s crazy…

He looks over the guests and the place is already getting quite full.]

I can see why you didn’t want to bring Iris anywhere close to here..

[sunsetking]

Iris doesn’t need to be in a place like this.

[And being half-lion, she’d stand out in a different way.

Leona listens to Hanako make her announcement as everyone gets settled into their seats.]

Don’t tell Jack and the rabbit either.

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Seth blinks slowly at that]

Why?

[His ear flicks but he looks towards Hanako]

[sunsetking]

…they’re a little too pure for this.

[Leona sighs.

But the show begins after Hanako finally leaves the stage and women start coming out.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[He nods slowly though he looks towards the strange. He watches a bit in awe. The ladies are really pretty and dance well. Seth isn’t interested in them but he is a bit glued to just watching like it’s some kind of show.]

They’re all really good.

[sunsetking]

I would hope so.

[But his gaze becomes more focused once he sees Moroha come out onto the stage.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[She comes out a bit stiff, looking nervous and uncomfortable. But she tries to take a deep breath and let it out as she continues further on the stage.

Lily is high in the ceiling, starts to chime a bell to a beat Moroha directed her to. It gives her something to focus on as she starts to move. Long sleeves flow with her movements, giving her a look of grace and a flow. She is good despite her tomboy nature and aggressive personality.

It’s a bit of a modified shrine dance to fit the music playing. She does glances towards Leona as she does a spin. A bit of shyness hits her before a flicker of pink mixes with brown.

Akari flashes Leona a smile, making sure to make direct eye contact with him as she trails her fingers down her own cheek to just over her lips. She tilts her head to the side to show more of her bared untouched neck as the shoulder of her outfit falls a bit. She turns her back to him as she pulls the fabric back up slowly. Her moves are a bit faster now, more confident as a small flicker spiritual energy flows making a small breeze around her as she moves.

Theres blends of Moroha but also blends where Akari either takes over or just influences and guides.]

[sunsetking]

[His eyes are fixated on her. Oh. Oh. This isn’t good. He can feel Roho stirring, feel the way his own instincts are rising up to the display.

She’s always been bad for his self-control.

Feeling her spiritual energy makes his own begin to bleed out in response. It makes him blink slowly, forcing his gaze away enough to watch the men in the crowd. His ear twitches, tail curling at the end upon seeing the looks on their faces.

He has to actually clench his jaw to hold back the growl that almost escapes.

This…might’ve been a bad idea. For his self-control.

Leona inhales deeply through his nose as he continues to watch her dance.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Moroha dances along the stage, around some of the other girls too. Akari does look to some of the men. She hides her disgust and just looks refined. Untouched. Pure. Her dancing is elegant so it’s obvious she’s from a shrine or a decent family.

She still can’t help but give more suggestive, needy looks when she faces Leona’s direction though she’s careful not to look right at him too often. She is trying to tease him clearly. Akari does long for her mate. Another spin as the music ends. Moroha blinks and gives a smile and bows politely before she gracefully walks towards the back.

Lily is quick to go after her too. ]

She did a lot better then I thought she would…

[Seth couldn’t help but stare. Especially with the shoulder thing and her shirt falling so much to expose her shoulder and back…Seth is blushing a little.

He looks to Leona]

[sunsetking]

[Leona…might be growling a little. Not loud enough to be heard, but Seth might feel the vibrations from how close they’re standing.

His eye twitches.]

That woman…

[He grumbles.

His ears perk when he hears the men whispering to each other about the dancer. How she looks so exquisite. Wonder how she’d be in bed—

A vase by Seth might suddenly turn into sand.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Seth’s ears shoot up at that. He grabs Leona’s arm.]

H-hey calm down… the night has just started.

[His tail wraps around Leona, trying to calm him.

Moroha does come out again a bit later, helping some of the other girls. She starts refilling drinks with ease almost like a tea ceremony. She keeps sweet and polite. Her innocence is a bit hard to hide.

Akari only stirs when she’s closer to Leona. She glances up to him in the balcony but otherwise ignores him as she leans down a little lower to pour another man’s drink to show a bit of cleavage. Mainly to the lion but if anyone else gets the view that’s not something she can help. If someone is about to take a sip, she gently touches their hand and pours more into their cup as she holds their hand before giving a smile and a slight bow.

If only leona was on the ground floor so she could serve him.]

[sunsetking]

…

[Leona is watching, staring hard. This is going to be a terrible night for his self-control.

He kind of hates this plan now.

He doesn’t seem to register Seth’s presence as he continues to watch Moroha—Akari—move around. The lion recognizes his beloved’s presence more than anything. Know the way she moves and teases.

It isn’t surprising one of the men propositions to Moroha to come to his room afterward.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Moroha blinks at that, looking surprised. She…quickly politely declines. But I’m, hear have more drink sir.

She smiles sweetly but is quick to finish pouring the bottle to the other men. She sort of hurries to the back before something catches her foot.

She gasps as she trips and starts to fall and catch herself.

A arm comes out and pulls her back into his lap. The pirate smirks at her]

Careful there, lass. Can’t let a pretty face like yours get hurt.

[His hand strokes down her back making her sit straight up]

A-ah yeah, my apologies?

[Maybe??? What does she even say??? Moroha does quickly move from his lap though he grabs her hand]

if you want to take a break, I don’t mind you keeping me company. Don’t be so quick to leave. My crew and I have been in need of the touch of a refined young woman.

[He pulls her hand and presses his lips to the top of it before opening his mouth and lets his tongue run over her hand and to her arm in one nice lick. A squeak and a shudder escape her and she jumps back quickly.

The man and his crew snicker and laugh. The crew mates whistle after her. She stares at them, her fingers cracking under her sleeve. She wants to claw this guy so bad. He smirks at her, winking]

[sunsetking]

[Another growl.

The cups in the pirate’s table suddenly begins to crack, the liquid inside almost beginning to turn into sand.

Except Hanako is suddenly there by Moroha, lips stretched into a smile.]

Now, I understand you are a guest in these parts, sir. However, the rules have been made clear. During this hour, our women are not to be touched unless your proposition has been accepted. Until then, please do not touch my girls.

[Pirates or not, she clearly holds no fear towards the men.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

[Moroha blinks at her. She’s surprised…

The crew mates blink at the table, looking startled. Hook glances down but then to the older woman. A smile pulls at his lips]

I just didn’t want to see her fall. She’s very pretty so it’s hard to resist. Pardon me, madam.

[He tips his hat to the older woman]

Just how much to make it up to you for my rudeness and for the pretty maiden?

[sunsetking]

A little more than what your pockets may have to offer, but if you’re so sincere, a couple gold bars will work nicely.

[Hanako pats Moroha’s shoulder and nudges her toward the back.]

Please enjoy the rest of your evening.

[bloodthirstydawn]

I assure you I have plenty. But I will give you a few gold bars before I depart to make up for my slip up since you’re so understanding with me.

[He glances to Moroha as she leaves and disappears to the back. Such a shame]

[Seth rubs Leona’s back. Easy there]

[sunsetking]

Thank you for your patronage.

[A sweet smile.]


[Leona’s tail is lashing behind him. He’s tempted to claw out that guy’s eyes.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

Of course, madam.

[He smiles back and settles into his chair more.


Seth just tries his best to calm him down. Though it doesn’t seem to be working well]

[sunsetking]

[Leona hates this. He just growls, but at least he remains in place.


Fortunately, the rest of the evening goes well. The other women in the building congratulates Moroha for her dance! They’ve never seen anything so graceful in a long time. ]
