[ Even if he likes bathing alone for the peace and quiet, it's only polite to keep the the door unlocked when you do so. Naturally he expects it to be a sword who wants to take a dip, and he's about to get up, grab a towel to put on later, and be on his merry way. Then he sees that it's Vietnam, an undressed Vietnam with a towel, and he freezes. If he's the one who was there first, he's not the peeping tom who gets their ass beat, right? ]
A-ah, Sen-san... I didn't know you were visiting today.
[ Immediately goes back into the spring about halfway, Just so he can tie on the towel underwater (so much for keeping it mostly dry). That's still a whole lot of of Tonbo though that can't be covered up by a towel though. Just... whatever shouldn't be seen. He has a nice body, and he isn't ashamed of it. Vietnam also is pretty fit and healthy for a lady, he knows that already from the help she does for the Citadel, but-- he can avert his gaze! What a nice wall to stare at. ]
My utmost apologies. I'll leave immediately, if you wish to use the hot springs.
[It's true, the whole point of her being here is just to mooch the hotsprings, but sadly this means that she is going to have to lock the doors. Because sharing with a whole bunch of men, even if they're swords...it's going to be awkward for them too.
As witnessed, while she's trying not to look at Tonbokiri even though he's a very fine man. A good heart in a good body. That practically spells disaster.]
N-no, Tonbokiri, I should've knocked, I should've asked--!! This is not my bath to use!
[She starts to back away.] B-but I should be the one leaving, because I am intruding! I will make why way now--!!
[What idiot backs away when they're in a place with wet floors?! She's close to slipping if not for the fact that she holds onto the door. She's in serious danger of tripping. Her towel? Moreso.]
[ Oh man, he feels pretty guilty after he sees Vietnam panic, especially when she's usually so dignified, it's quite shocking for sure. It's just a bath??? She can use it, it's completely fine. ]
Miss Sen, the floor--!
[ But even when he was relaxing then having his brain race to figure out an amiable solution for them both in this awkward situation, Tonbokiri's quick to perceive that other disaster about to take place. Before Vietnam falls and loses her towel, strong arms are holding her into a more stable spot. One even keeps the towel from slipping for the most part, but his happens to be right above her chest. His face is almost as red as his hair but he looks away still. He had to look, but only for a second. Self-control! ]
[Except he really doesn't have to feel bad! But that's how Tonbokiri is, and she's always appreciated him for that very reason.
She would appreciate him for saving her too, if not for this awkward moment. His arms would normally make anyone feel safe, but because of their situation of his hand just by her chest...well this is tough. On one hand he's doing this for her dignity. On the other hand...
Not to mention she's about two inches away from his chest.]
I'm fine, Tonbokiri...thank you.
[She really worked hard to say this coolly, but there's an obvious blush on her face.]
[ He is a very softhearted yari, so he's just gonna be like that and feel bad.
Vietnam, if he puts you down and moves his hands away, please fix your towel. It would be greatly appreciated! You can still appreciate the great span of bara chest, so no worries about that. ]
Good. This is already a... troublesome predicament.
[ Two polite to a fault individuals, one hot springs. and really one opportunity to enjoy before others come. What do do? ]
We both want to give up the bath, it seems... Maybe we should just share it and avoid an argument.

Are you okay?

And look, she'll do it because she's embarrassed! Even though he's still right there--wow excuse.]
Y-yes, but we can keep it quiet. [She's sure. It will be okay. Right?
Still, he's right, so perhaps she'll just go with it. No one wins if they both leave.]
A-alright. I mean, I trust you, so I am sure it will be fine.
