"When you moved like lightning—punched his face—and then you somehow took his spear so fast, and then you looked at him and said, 'I'm going to hurt you!'—IT WAS SOOO COOL AND SEXY AND AMAZING!"
Tiona's voice practically echoed through the hall as she bounced around, reenacting the entire fight with dramatic flair. Her hands mimicked Damien's movements, her hair whipping around like a whirlwind.
Across from her, Damien cringed slightly, rubbing the back of his neck as he took a sip from his drink. "Glad you… enjoyed it."
"Yeah! I did! That was the best fight in the Arena—ever! Right, Tione?" Tiona turned to her sister with shining eyes.
Tione folded her arms, giving a dismissive huff. "Must've been impressive… I guess."
Damien caught the slight edge in her tone. He could tell—Tione wasn't mad at him, not really. She was just protective of Tiona. It was… endearing, in a way.
"It's a shame you didn't pick our Familia, though!" Tiona continued, grinning from ear to ear. "Tione wouldn't let me, but I actually tried to tell Loki to add me as a reward for you!"
Damien nearly choked on his drink. "Wait—what?"
Tiona tilted her head, smiling innocently. "You know! Like, if I were the one offering instead of Finn! You'd have joined us then, right?" she said, clasping her hands behind her back and swaying side to side playfully.
Damien raised a brow, smiling faintly. He gave her a slow look from head to toe. As an Amazon, Tiona's body was sculpted perfection—toned, feminine, with caramel skin that gleamed under the lights. It was… difficult not to notice.
"Honestly…" he said with a grin, "I might've been tempted. You look pretty damn good. Too bad, huh?"
Tiona purred softly, leaning closer until their faces were inches apart. "Uhm… Now you're tempting me," she said in a teasing whisper.
But before she could get any closer, Tione appeared like a divine strike. She grabbed Tiona by the arm and dragged her back with a sigh. "Come on. Let's go cool off and talk to Goddess Hestia. You're way too drunk," she scolded, then looked back at Damien with a serious gaze. "We'll talk later… about something."
And with that, the Amazon twins were gone, Tione half-dragging a giggling Tiona away.
"Huh… weird," Damien muttered, setting his drink down before turning toward another familiar group. "Hey—you two."
Riveria and Ais turned at his approach. Behind them, he noticed a shy golden-haired elf peeking out nervously.
"Hello, Damien," Riveria greeted with her usual composed elegance. "It seems you were right—you had the capability to win the tournament. But…" she gave a faint, rare smile, "it seems your path doesn't have me as your next target, as you once claimed."
Damien smirked. "Wouldn't count me out just yet. I made a deal with your goddess—I'll be joining your Familia on the next expedition."
Riveria's eyebrow raised slightly in surprise, but before she could reply, Damien looked past her at the elf hiding behind Ais.
"And you are?"
Ais stepped forward. "This is Lefiya. My friend." Then, without hesitation, she turned to Lefiya and added in her usual straightforward way, "This is Damien. Good. Strong warrior. Oh—and he said I'm beautiful."
Damien couldn't help but laugh softly. "Thanks for the introduction, Ais." He extended his hand. "Nice to meet you, Lefiya."
Lefiya blinked, hesitated, and then—flustered—shied away instead of shaking his hand.
"Ah," Damien said, retracting his hand with an understanding smile. "Well, nice meeting you anyway."
"U-uhm… y-yeah. Thanks," Lefiya stammered, her cheeks turning a shade of red to rival her wine.
Before anyone could say another word, a familiar arm suddenly wrapped around both Damien and Ais from behind.
"Hello, kids!" Loki sang out, grinning like a cat who'd found a new toy. "Having fun, are we?"
Both Ais and Damien froze as Loki pressed them both a little too close, her cheeks flushed from drink and her laughter loud.
"Well! Guess what? We're about to have more fun! Hestia just turned on the onsen for us!" Loki announced, raising her bottle like a victory flag. "Let's all have a nice, relaxing bath!"
With that, the Trickster Goddess wobbled off toward the back garden, humming a cheerful tune and waving her booze around, leaving a stunned Damien, a blinking Ais, and a very red Lefiya in her wake.
Damien sighed, rubbing his forehead. "…I have a bad feeling about this bath idea."
...
The opaque steam of the mineral-rich water coiled in the air, carrying the faint, earthy scent of sulfur. Damien sighed, the sound echoing slightly in the tiled enclosure. Welf's abrupt departure, mandated by the healers, and Karmac's early retreat to prepare for a business deal had left the male onsen deserted. Save for him.
"A Japanese Onsen," he murmured to himself, the words barely a whisper against the gentle lap of water. "Never got the chance in my old life. But I know the drill." Meticulously, he had scrubbed and rinsed at the washing station, adhering to the tradition with a respect born of distant memory. Now, submerged to his chest in the almost painfully hot water, the tension of adventuring began to leach from his muscles. "Ahhh... Yeah," he breathed, tilting his head back against the wet stone. "Now I get the hype. This is incredible." The solitude, initially a disappointment, was now a luxury. A private, steaming paradise. A far cry from the inevitable chaos of the female onsen next door, where the entire group of girls was no doubt crammed together.
He let his eyes drift shut, surrendering to the heat. The world narrowed to the sensation of warmth and the sound of his own breathing.
Then, a voice, husky and familiar, cut through the steam. "Okay. I see why Tiona is all over you. Not bad, eh? Quite a... sizable member you're packing."
Damien's eyes snapped open. Instinct, primal and swift, sent his hands flying to cover his groin. Through the mist, the form of Tione materialized, standing by the edge of the bath without a stitch of clothing, her gaze bold and appraising. Water droplets gleamed on her toned abdomen and the proud, perky swell of her breasts.
"Tione? Ughh... Hi," he managed, his mind scrambling. "You know this is... the male onsen, right?"
A smirk played on her lips. "I'm well aware, fool. Why do you think I came here?" She didn't shy away, her stance one of unshakeable confidence.
Damien's eyes, against his better judgment, flickered down, taking in the sleek muscle of her thighs and the neat triangle of her womanhood. His face heated, rivaling the bath. "Then you know I can... see everything, right?" he stated, the question sounding incredibly dumb even to his own ears.
"Well, feast your eyes to your heart's content, fool. Doesn't matter," she declared, stepping gracefully into the water and settling directly across from him. The water level rose, lapping at his collarbone. "I'm here to talk about Tiona."
Swallowing hard, Damien forced his gaze to remain on her face. "Okay. What is it that you want to say?"
"Look. Tiona... well, let's not play around the bush and get to the point. She likes you. You're a strong male, and a handsome one. Personality-wise, you ain't so bad." Tione leaned forward slightly, her dark eyes intense. "But you gotta understand something about us Amazons. Once we like someone, we want them. And we want them bad. To the point that we'd even fight them and force them if we have to."
Her eyes narrowed, the playful tone vanishing, replaced by a steel that promised violence. "You're a flirtatious person. And I'm okay with that. I'm not here to tell you to only like Tiona or whatever bullshit. No. What I'm here to tell you is that you need to drop the flirting and hinting shit with her. Cause she might attack you at some point. Uncontrollably. And it might ruin whatever relationship she's trying to build with you."
She rose from the water in a single, fluid motion, rivulets streaming down her magnificent form. "So do me a favor. Get strong enough to handle her. Then... flirt away. But if you keep teasing her with your current strength... she will do something crazy."
With that final warning hanging in the steam-thick air, she turned and walked out, her bare, sculpted back and the perfect curve of her ass a searing image in his mind long after she had disappeared through the doorway.
Damien let out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding, sinking deeper into the water. "Okay... Don't tease Amazons. Bad. Got it," he muttered to himself, the lesson branded into his psyche.
He closed his eyes again, trying to reclaim the previous tranquility, willing his pulse to slow. Just as he started to melt back into the relaxing embrace of the onsen, another voice, slurred and sultry, slithered through the mist from the entrance.
"Oh, hey there... sexy."
Damien's eyes shot open once more. Stumbling through the steam, she stood completely unclothed at the onsen's edge. The soft glow of the stone lanterns played over the elegant lines of her body, highlighting the smooth dip of her waist and the gentle curve of her hips. Her movements were a languid, unselfconscious ballet of inebriation as she stepped into the heated pool, the water rippling to welcome her.
She closed the distance with a single-minded purpose that brooked no argument, the intent clear in her half-lidded gaze. "Been wanting to feel you... all day loong..."
A groan escaped his lips as he pressed himself back against the stone wall. "Ah, shit," he whispered. "Here we go again."
