bakerstreet | What if we were together? j/k, j/k...unless-

[Hey, it's not exclusive to girls. She hangs out with some pretty attractive dudes too, although mostly they're dorks. Then again, most guys are.]

Oh Inaba doesn't qualify as a city. Waaay too small for that.

[Yeah, Inaba was basically the definition of a town.]

Hey, not bad! I was thinking with your twiggy figure you wouldn't be able to pack it away like that. Plus one respect points.

[She's offering Umi a fist bump, clearly treating this super casually and fun. Maybe ~~when~~ if Umi treats her to that filet mignon, she can try to keep it more serious? Then again probably not.]

[ Ah, right, handsome guys exist. Like the quiet weird guy. ]

Town. Yeah. Well, however they want to call it?

[ Umi accepts the fist bump gladly. ]

That's what happens when you burn through calories just as fast, after all. And it's real good.

[ This is chill and that's cool. And Umi's clearly not a snob about food. ]

[Never underestimate the quiet weird ones. They're usually the video game protagonist type. ~~Don't break wall #4 there folks.~~

Chie was busy slurping up her beefbowl when she heard Umi's explanation about burning calories. So her mouth is sort of full when she wants to respond, but she demonstrates just how quickly she can chew and swallow.]

Mmm! I know just what you mean! That's one of the reasons I don't have to diet, because I'm always in tip top fighting shape. Kapaaa!

[And she does some fancy footwork, hopping from one foot to the other, and demonstrates some of her mock kicks. Too bad for Umi Chie does this so often that she wears bloomers by default. ~~No panty shot for you!~~ She also clearly does this sort of thing so often she knows how to keep her food from going flying in the midst of her demonstration.]

[ Umi likes the games where you can choose a girl too. ...although she's from an early 90s canon so the options were sparse back then. ]

Oh wow, you've got killer form.

[ She's no expert but she knows a good kick when she sees it. ...pantyshot would be nice, but it's not like Umi needs it. ]

You should watch me fence sometime. It's so intense and rigorous.

[ And getting her hair up in her helmet is a sight to watch. ]

[Yeah, even today there's still a lot more games with just a male protagonist. No surprise to anyone ever, but Chie's favorite games tend to be fighting games.]

Hehe, thanks! I like to stay in practice.

[She's feeling pretty proud of herself, when Umi mentions fencing and Chie is a bit star struck.]

Whoa, you fence? Like... with a real sword, or just a wooden one?

[Either way is pretty awesome and probably way cooler than Yousuke or Narukami who just free style it like they're using a club.]

Your family must be pretty rich.

[ Oh like Street Fighter 2 or Art of Fighting! ...let's just say she knows modern games though. ]

Just like... have you watched the Olympics? With the dull metal blades, and the pads and the mask, going back and forth?

[ Not that Umi is close to Olympic level, but she's probably... already better in a Real Sword Fight than Olympic fencers. ]

It's hardly as expensive as figure skating or horseback riding, you know. ...which doesn't change that my family is pretty well off.

[ Chomp chomp. ]

[Well you're in luck, because out here in the sticks, retro games are still a thing! Plus Chie is more into trashy kung-fu movies than video games usually anyway. Mostly because she's super competitive and super bad at it.]

Oooh! That's still really cool! So more like the European style than the Japanese Kenpo style.

[Ugh... rich and beautiful... keep the jealousy in check Chie.]

Yeaaah, that sounds like something you know from experience, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess your place is like a freaking mansion compared to mine. Oh well, as long as you don't mind my place being kind of dinky, I think that should be our next stop. THE TRIAL OF THE DRAGON AWAITS!

[She says it in a booming, masculine, dramatic voice that echoes in the relatively empty picnic area, followed by her laughing about it.]

Don't worry, the first one is a little corny and cliche but it makes the second movie so much better!

[ Oh snap Umi can hop right on that old Street Fighter cabinet in the corner of an old diner. ]

Yeah, yeah! But my friend Hikaru practices kendo. ...and is astonishingly good.

[ Were she more ambitious, Umi would peg her to just sweep any national competitions. ]

Well, hey, it's a little big I guess.

[ ...her family's property is walled in, with a fancy wrought iron gate and an intercom. ]

I'm not gonna judge you for being, you know, actually normal of all things. And uh...

[ Her ears... but she loves the enthusiasm. ]

I think I'm ready for that too!

Man I'm so jealous! All we have at our school is football and basketball.

[By which she means soccer, because otherwise it's just called American football. And yeah... yeah... definitely a rich girl. She probably has a summer home with a private beach and everything.]

Prepare yourself young Umi, you are about to witness the most classic kung-fu movie of all time!

[Now she's using this over the top old wizened master voice which sounds downright ridiculous coming from Chie. She seems to be just leaving the empty bowl at the table. It's a porcelain bowl so clearly it's not meant to be just thrown away, but is it really okay to leave it there?]

There are probably ways to get into things like that, but it's definitely extra effort.

[ Umi's parents haven't QUITE gone that far, but only because they'd prefer to hit up Cala Goloritzé or Kauapea. Yes, she knows Italy has horse meat from personal experience.

This is an experience too, though, and they've raised Umi not to have a particularly bad attitude about their wealth. ]

Should we... walk these back?

[ Umi just wants to be responsible. A good girl. ]

Nah, don't worry about the bowls. Aiya will come pick them up, and that's how she makes some of her extra cash.

[Oh right, maybe she should explain this a bit.]

My classmate, Aiya? She and her dad run the beefbowl joint here in Inaba. Her dad does all the cooking, and she takes care of all the deliveries. That girl has like a sixth sense when it comes to knowing where to find you or the beef bowls when she does her deliveries, so I always make sure to leave her big tips.

There was this one time, I was trying to run away from my friend Kanji? And she still made the delivery while we were in the middle of being chased by him! Hehe, that girl sure is persistent with her work ethic.

[That's... one thing to call it.]

Well, let's get going. Oh by the way, are you okay with dogs? Because I have this big fat guy at home, that is super affectionate and friendly!

[ Umi nods along. She knows supernatural powers, so that doesn't even surprise her honestly. ]

Right. She sounds like a nice girl.

[ She won't ask about the running away from her, uh, friend. That's just friendship sometimes right? ]

Anyways! I should totally have Hikaru visit you too, because she can basically just understand dogs too. ...she's kind of amazing in a lot of ways. Dogs are great as long as you can calm him down when he needs to calm down, there's such a thing as too much slobber.

She's pretty quiet and business oriented, but really reliable since I'm one of her regulars. I think I eat there at least every other day.

[Well they weren't friends at the time of the fleeing, but that's too long a story to explain.]

Aw don't worry! He's a good boy, so while he might want to jump all over you, he'll listen to me and behave himself. If you were afraid of dogs I'd probably have to go in ahead of you to make sure he stayed out of the way, but if you're a dog person he's super friendly. A bit smelly if he hasn't gotten his bath, but he probably won't be a problem. He doesn't really drool that much either, not that kind of dog.

[ That's some serious protein intake Chie! You should be swol! ]

Oh good, good. I'm not too worried about usual dogginess, then!

[ Even if she doesn't have any particular pets herself. ]

Lead the way on in to your domain of dogs and kung-fu!

[There's a reason she's actually really strong for her size. She has more protein in her diet than most athletes.]

Yes! The Trial of the dragon awaits! Hwaaaa!

[She'd almost forgotten in her enthusiasm about meat and her dog why they were heading to her place. It wasn't that much further until they reached it either, and Chie is almost already kicking off her shoes when she gets in the door.]

I'm hoooome!

[She's a bit surprised that she isn't met with an abundance of happy barks and the scuffling of paws on floorboards, but she shrugged it off.]

Oh well, my mom must have taken him out. She does that from time to time, and he was looking a bit shaggy recently, so maybe he's getting a haircut too. Just means we've got the place to ourselves.

[ Lots of protein and working out and just kicking randomly. ]

And I'm pretty powerful as well.

[ Oh hey, lucky Umi? No family here either to remark on Chie just randomly bringing a super gorgeous girl home that isn't Yukiko. ]

All to juuust the two of us. ...we can turn up the volume.

[ What did you think she was gonna suggest something lewd? ]

[Hey, Chie had lots of gorgeous female friends besides just Yukiko! She's even friends with a teen idol she'll have you know! Although she just realized the weight of suggesting they were all alone in her house with a girl who she knows has slept with other girls before.]

Err... the movie volume... right?

[She still thinks she's suggesting something lewd! Chie audibly gulps at this next question.]

S-So... the living room or m-my room? We're less likely to be interrupted in... my room.

[Interrupted watching the movie you pervs.]

[ Umi is at least the same sort of beauty as Yukiko - including secretly being weirder than people suspect. ]

Yes. Yes, I meant that.

[ This is almost impressive. ]

I wanna see your room anyways! I bet it reflects who you are really well.

[ ...and if Chie's going to keep thinking that way, Umi wants the privacy. ]

R-Right! That's exactly what I thought you meant!

[No it isn't, and she's blushing furiously about the fact that she might have thought Umi meant their voices in a less than wholesome context.]

Ehehehe... Aaaanyways! Let me show you to my room! It might be slightly messier than what you're used to, but it's not too bad!

[She tugs Umi upstairs and to her bedroom that's got the door slightly ajar. When the door opens up Umi might understand what Chie meant by a slight mess. It's got two book shelves, a night stand, a desk, a bed, and a cabinet that a TV is resting on, so the amount of floor space is a bit limited. The bookshelves are absolutely littered with manga, action figures, the occasional cute stuffed animal, and once in a while a textbook tucked away in the corner. The bed is clearly well used and not made on a regular basis, with a black trash bag at the foot of the bed in the corner away from the door, and a half-eaten dog treat on the floor next to her bed. Behind the bed is her window with the shades closed for privacy.

The desk is next to the cabinet with the tv on it, which was across from her bed. All sorts of papers litter the desk, half finished expired homework, registration forms, a few doodles, a book or two, and a light besides just the overhead one fixed into the ceiling. There's all sorts of posters lining her walls like Feather Man X, Trial of the Dragon, and even an autographed poster of Rise Kujikawa the popstar teen idol. The cabinet the tv is resting on is filled to the brim with electronics, from a VCR/DVD player to a playstation. All sorts of DVDs are placed haphazardly between gaming consoles, except for a special section separate specifically for her Trial of the Dragon DVDs and VHS tapes.

With a heavy sigh of relief to be in her comfort zone, Chie threw herself onto her bed with a heavy flop. She rolled over, and began to pull off her socks, throwing them in the trash bag that was clearly full of dirty laundry. The trash can was tucked under her desk, but that probably wasn't that obvious unless you were seated in the wobbly desk chair, or on Chie's bed. Chie patted the bed next to her, urging Umi to have a seat with her.]

Sooo what do you think? This is my room.

[And Chie is just going to take a moment to stretch her legs on the air, flexing her toes before letting her legs drop back down.]

It's not much, and I don't have my own computer or anything, but I think it suits my purposes well enough.

Exactly what you thought.

[ Umi knows. She's been there. This is just still so... wonderfully adorable of Chie.

She follows Chie into her room - really, she's not the most terribly neat child herself, so it's not that surprising. There's just not as much floor, is it certainly seems more cluttered even if it's a normal amount of stuff.

Cute stuffed animals, television, school stuff, a varied mix of posters. Not completely one-dimensional... but it's obvious what the focus is here. Umi takes a seat on Chie's bed, a bit delicate. There's always a different mood when you enter someone else's room for the first time, even when it's totally platonic.

Her eyes follow the motion of Chie's legs. ]

It's cozy. I can definitely see a lot of who you are here...

[Chie felt completely at ease in her room, so rather than feeling embarrassed by Umi's gaze following her legs, she found it amusing. She was watching Umi intenently to gauge her reaction, so she caught the way she seemed to follow the motion of her legs when she stretched them.]

You like my legs huh? Do you think they're pretty? Do they excite you?

[She lifted her legs to rest them on Umi's lap, idly flexing her feet. Maybe it's because Umi was a girl, and Chie had no experience with any other girls being sexually attracted to her and sticking around. Maybe it was because she always felt a bit more amorous in her bedroom because this was where she tended to fantasize before bed. Maybe the idea of someone she thought as being way more gorgeous than herself being attracted to her appealed to her. Maybe she was just being a cruel bitch. Whatever the reason, she thought it was hilarious to tease Umi a bit with her body since the girl was clearly interested.]

If I said you had ten seconds to do what you liked with them starting now, what would you do, hmm? Ten, nine...

[All the teasing, but don't worry Umi it's all in good fun!]

[ Now, Chie is in the driver's seat a little more - and a lot more comfortable with Umi looking at her. So when those legs are swung up onto Umi's lap, she she flushes brightly for a moment. ]

They're very... lovely.

[ But she's not going to just take the teasing without giving back, so when Chie sets an ultimatum - and starts counting down! - she has to act. It might be way too presumptuous to take this much further, but can Chie really complain now?

So Umi bends over, down towards Chie's thigh, and gives it a long, slow lick, with the full flat of her tongue. ]

[This was actually kind of fun, and Umi calling them lovely was another nice little boost to her ego. She really thought that she'd have her lesbian friend a little too flustered by her bold suggestion to act upon her offer, or perhaps she'd try to argue semantics and waste her ten seconds.

Hooo... boy was she mistaken!]

Eight, sev-EEP!

[Tongue on legs, tongue on legs! Okay... this is fine, she was the one who offered this! But uh... why the hell did this have to turn her on in just one swift action? Didn't it usually take a little more than just this to turn someone on? Well that probably would be the case if they weren't a sexually repressed virgin who is questioning her own sexuality.]

S-Six... five...

[Oh hey Umi still has another five seconds if she wants to try giving her another lick... and Chie might be lifting her legs up a little higher than Umi's lap so that they're closer to her friend's mouth. What was Umi going to do with her trembling legs, with her thighs hugged together, and on the other end her toes curled up in anticipation. It almost seemed like she was slowing down her countdown, just to see what Umi would do.]

[ This is just to boost her ego more right? Umi's just showing Chie how much she likes her legs, it's totally fine. And, well, Chie isn't busting her nose with her knee so it's relatively welcome, right?

Umi finishes the lick, taking in that reaction. Chie's just making it easier, counting slower; Umi's hands reach under her leg, holding onto her and lifting it even further as she moves down to lick the side of her thigh instead.

All she has to do is not go much further before they actually watch those movies. She wouldn't want to ruin Chie's routine, right? ]

[Look, this is totally just to gauge how interested she is in her! Noooo ulterior motives or anything. Apart from this kind of feeling good, and she's definitely enjoying the attention, and no one has ever kissed her before so having someone sensually lick her when she gave them full permission to do so was... kind of erotic... oh boy.]

Four... three...

[THIGHS! SHE'S LICKING HER THIGHS! THAT IS VERY CLOSE TO INTIMATE TERRITORY AND SURPRISINGLY SENSITIVE! Chie's eyes are sort of squinting shut at this point despite her best efforts, and she's sort of leaning back, her legs almost pushing up against Umi's tongue and her back arching.]

T-Two... one...

[Chie takes a deep breath, finally letting her legs drop back down, her face on fire, and a part of her tempted to try to go even a little bit further now that they've gone this far, and since they've discussed things way worse? No... no this was fine, it was just a little... sample? A sample... yeah... just a sample of the kind of things she could expect from the two of them getting a bit more... intimate.]

Zero... That... that was quite something. I must admit... I didn't know you had that in you.

[Annnd she didn't know her thighs were so sensitive.]
