July 6th, 23 CLE Evening
Teemo sighs as he makes his way up the steps to the inn. It had been a long and trying task to snuff out and capture the last remaining assassin of Blomgrun, but with the culprit now in the capable, yet temporary hands of Irelia, the scouts are in for some overdo rest. The mission was running on thin ice towards the end, but luckily they all managed to make it back safe and sound.
The scouts, still in their farmer attire, spill into the lobby and wait outside the house area patiently. Having made reservations well in advance, the staff of human and yordle attendees is quickly prepared to welcome and invite them inside. As with tradition they are asked to remove their shoes, which at this point are coated with dry mud and grass, and slip into clean pairs of slippers before stepping up onto the house floor. The group, led by Teemo, follows the staff do a counter for check in and immediately are brought to their rooms, each room housing two or three scouts each. Titus and Teemo are housed in the room at the end of the hall, and the two are politely informed of the facilities and schedules along the way. Once inside their room their human attendant takes their first drink requests and informs them once more that dinner will be served shortly and that they should bathe as soon as possible.
When the attendant leaves them to their privacy, the scout captain first makes his way to the closet in order to find his provided towel and yukata, itching to get into something clean. He glances over his shoulder at the other captain, eyes focused on the bundle he'd found containing the items. "You heard her, Titus. Bath, food, then rest. I think we should take a trip to the hot spring before bed, too. You did suggest we should enjoy ourselves and experience true Ionian culture while we can?"
"Yeah!" he calmly reply. "After that, it's nice to get some R&R for a while."
The yukata unfolds itself to the floor as Titus holds it up in the air. It seems to fit him perfectly but for some reason, he couldn't help but get the feeling that the dress will look awkward on him.
"So Tee... do I take off my clothes and wear this or wear it over my clothes?" he quizzes the scout, not knowing what to do with the Ionian... bathrobe.

The scout had already begun to undress himself, all the way down to his undergarments by the time the other captain had questions for him. He nods, holding up a white, cotton piece that looks similar to the yukata, only smaller and thinner. Quickly slipping out of his remaining clothes and into the juban (the cotton piece previously mentioned) he slightly turns his head in the other yordle's direction. "Just like what I'm doing. First you throw on the undergarment, and then the yukata. Don't forget to grab your towel before we leave for the bath."
Once his juban has been slipped on and firmly tied around the waist, Teemo pulls out the indigo yukata from his container and admires it for a moment before slowly putting it on, having to take his time to remember the proper way of doing so.
Titus nods and turns away from him as he takes off all his clothes and puts on the juban first and the yukata after. After examining himself from left to right, even going around himself to get a back view, Titus still felt awkward wearing it. It's not that the garment made him weird, it's Titus making it weird. Looking across Teemo fully clothed, why does he look good in it?
"You... kinda look cute in it, Teemo. The dress looks good on you. I feel awkward in this dress," he comments, barely blushing calling him "cute" despite that he's naturally cute.

Teemo discretely watches the other yordle as they get dressed, faintly humming whilst he browses through the contents of the bag, waiting for the other captain to finish. Inside he finds a small folded fan as well, pulling it out and opening it with curiosity, then putting it away with slight embarrassment when the Titus compliments him.
The scout stands, straightening out his yukata and formally turning to his companion, giving him the once over. "Thanks, but I'd think most yordles would look cute in these. Maybe if you imagined yourself more like a noble warrior it wouldn't seem as awkward." He steps up to his fellow captain, lightly putting his hands to the other's clothing and straightening it out, eyes never rising to meet the other's. Once he feels that Titus' yukata has been appropriately straightened up, he steps back. "There. Less awkward now? You look dashing."
"Really?" he nervously reply, rubbing his back head in nervousness. Then in a instant, he bursts in an awkward embarrassing laughter. He looks down on the yukata, questioning himself how he looks good on it. The other scouts look fine with it but why does Titus don't?
"You think I look dashing? It felt like the dress hates me or something... you really think I look good?"

Teemo scrunches his nose a bit, putting two fingers together and whacking Titus on the nose with them. It's a surprisingly effective technique. "Yukata. And as per traditional Ionian wear I think you fit the noble warrior look pretty well. Chest exposed a little, broad shoulders... you've got the muscle for it at least."
He pokes the other yordle in the chest to emphasize his point, then turns to the door, apparently ready to leave for the bath.
Titus flinches a little as Teemo's finger flicks his nose slightly. After reexamining himself, he is starting to feel the nobleness of the yukata. Noble, strong, it's not some dress he would normally wear for baths. Titus feels a sense of conformity with him and the yukata and the captain follows the scout for the bath.

Teemo grabs his two towels on the way out, wrapping the smaller one around his waist under the juban just before stepping out the door. A few of the other scouts are in the hall, also making their way down to the bathhouse. The scout captain makes his way there silently, seemingly calculating his plans for the rest of the evening in his head.
When they arrive at the entry way to the bath Teemo takes a moment to glance up at the signs, one red one above the left entrance for women, one blue on above the right entrance for men. He spots one of the scouts smirking a little and making his way towards the red sign, quickly moving to grab the scout by the scruff of his neck and pulling him back towards the men's entrance. After giving the scout a firm warning he enters the changing room, finding a slot for his clothing and slippers and strips down to the towel.
Titus followed Teemo the entire time during the trip to the bath. He takes off his clothes, leaving himself with only a towel that now make up his shorts. However, dirt and mud from the mission cling on Titus' back, smearing the glowy cream fur he usually has. It took more than just a rough housing just to take down the assassin. It was chaotic and dirty, nothing completely flawless from it. And yet, Titus seems oblivious on how he really needs a bath.

Teemo grabs his shampoo and scrub brush that he nabbed from the room, then makes his way over to one of the many shower stations along the walls. He removes and hangs up his towel, quickly flicking on the hot water to soak his fur before lathering his fur. The dirt and grime from the jungle brings back memories of their recent trip.
They'd almost failed. The assassin almost got away, and he can't shake the feeling that it would've been partly his fault. If Titus hadn't been an ignoramus... but no, he can't put all of the blame on the other captain. It'd been both of their bickering that gave away the disguise. At least he didn't lose...
He lets the thought trail off, washed down the drain with sudsy warm water. The dirt has been rinsed out of his fur enough where he could head into the large tub, but for a moment he sits in silence under the water, head against the cool tile wall and hot water running down his back.
A few moments later he turns off the water, grabbing his supplies and towel and moving to the tub, finding himself alone.
Titus is the second to finish his shower and enter the hot springs. The other scouts seem to be carefully scrubbing off any hidden dust clinging beneath their own fur, leaving the two alone in the hot springs. He spots Teemo sitting alone nearby and he thought he could join him. Yordles need company.
He tests the temperature of the water by dipping his toe in the hot spring. A soft yet a slight scalding feeling touches the toe and Titus quickly retreats his feet back to the ground. But the water left a warm touch and invites the captain to come down and leave all worries behind. Titus couldn't help himself but slowly enter as the water engulfs everything below his waist, as if a soft wet blanket wraps around him.
The captain walks towards Teemo and sits next to the scout. "So anything in mind, Teemo?"

Teemo gives Titus a firm sideways glance, only slightly turning his head to the side. Of course the other captain would be the first to finish washing. In the scout's mind, he's either trying to prove himself after the mistakes made during their mission, or he's just plain lazy. Probably both.

The scouts sighs, his head shaking a little. Definitely both. He turns his body more towards the other yordle, jerking a finger towards the water and swirling it in a circular motion in front of the other's eyes.
"Alright, turn around. We're not supposed to do this in here, but I'm scrubbing your back. You're not going to dinner with flecks of dirt and sand in your fur, even if it's just us in the room."
