Twitching as if fate sunk a knife of irony into her back, she allowed her body to slink to a sitting position against the island, knowing full well on the other side was Dutch; as well as some oh so swell mental imagery which not was burned into her mind.
"I was just thinking about something and well, called out; have you never heard of self monologue!" Given it wasn't like she was reciting Shakespeare with that Oh god, but hey, she wasn't about to blurt out she had been thinking about him in the shower.
Since it wasn't much of a curious thought anymore.
"What did you think you were going to to anyways, fight something naked!?" Nariko only hoped this profuse blushing wouldn't lead to something like spontaneous combustion.

He looked up and rested his elbows on the counter, figuring he wasn't going anywhere just yet..and if anything now would have been an opportune time to see if he can get anything else to wear. "I wasn't aware...all I heard was a raised voice of concern...for all I know you could have realized the expiration date on something was 2 weeks ago" he shrugged...
Despite the awkwardness, he actually felt very comfortable. Maybe it was because he was just out of that black suit. "I've done it before...Don't see what would make now a huge difference" he shrugged again. Military was pretty cruel on making sure you felt like you had no sense of privacy...Hell the first day you fought another stark naked. Embarrassment was apparently for the weak then.
"Before I get back to the shower, is it too much to ask for something else to wear?"

Feeling another jab come down on her back, Nariko made a sour face once again at the thoughts that crossed her mind. Oh great, now I look the fool for being uncomfortable about it. Curse him, and his damn good looks. Letting out long sigh from her hiding spot from the counter she poked her head up and soon stood back up seeing he was at least covered this time.
"Yeah well, decency for a vixen would be nice you know." It wasn't like she'd seen unclothed men all the time....or ever.
"Clothes hmm?" Trying hard to move past the issue while it was still apparent she was flustered as she avoided eye contact as if he was some male version of Medusa, she tapped her chin in thought. All she had was under suits and kimonos, all unfitting for his physique. She thought of the other members of the household, and could only think of two things. "Well....I know there is a male kimono that Kay had from a long time ago; its pretty big and should fit you. Otherwise the only male close to your height who has clothes here is Briareos....and he's at least 6'8......you'd need a belt." It wasn't much of options, but most of the males she knew didn't wear garments or well, were huge.

As she appeared from her hiding spot, he could almost see the discomfort she had towards him....it somehow made him feel awesome, and at the same time kind of uneasy. It just reminded him further that he really wasn't in the military anymore.
"You get used to it. Nude is quite comfortable you know." he said blandly. It should just prove to her that he didn't treat women any differently than one of his guy friends. It was probably the reason why they fought so much, but he dismissed the brief epiphany as she talked about the clothes he could wear...but would rather not be caught dead in.
"Um..." was all he was able to utter. The sound of a male kimono was not at all a pleasant idea and the thought further of pants that were waaay to big for him were not appealing either. "I'd rather go with the towel if those are my options" He remarked in a dead serious tone

"I'm sure it is, yet I would only do so in the comfort of my solitude.." Indeed Nariko wasn't in the military, the spartan compound was the closest she'd gotten and even that was nothing in comparison. None the less, she was sure she'd not appreciate the lessons of learning to be nude as it was apparent he'd gone through.
"....and you are not walking around in a towel." Nariko frowned, it wasn't like she was offering him a pink tutu or some panties. "I'll bring the kimono, which by the way is quite comfortable you know....you'll get used to it by the time we can wash that suit of yours." Smirking she gave a one moment sign with her hands and quickly darted out of the room, taking only a minute or two before returning with just the light tan shirt and black pants of the pair; leaving the overcoat back in the room. "See? Its not a skirt or anything, its attached inside." She showed, looking at the ceiling. "Unless you desire to sit in the bathroom till the suit is done."

"Spoil sport" he scoffed as he slicked back his dripping wet hair. It was good fortune that he was able to wash the soap out before he came blazing through the house.
He frowned further as she walked off to get the alleged Kimono. She returned with probably the most questionable outfit he had ever seen in his entire life. It was so...plain..and....ancient to him. It was like looking at a tunic from medieval times. Still his furrowed brow remained as he clutched at the towel tighter. "I'm sticking with the towel, thank you.." he assured with a hint of a growl in his voice. How hard was it to find a good pair of pants and a tank? He was almost certain he could walk to the shop and find one...were it not for his leg of course.

"Oh yeah, as if i'd give you your kicks of seeing more naked...ness...." Gosh she was losing her touch, as there was only so much on the ceiling she could focus on.
Snapping her head down though, she wore a frown on her face as it was apparent she was unhappy about this. "How gracious of you. Fine then, I really don't want to see you till you agree to put something on! I'm going to get your suit and wash it if you don't mind." She huffed irritably and turned tail, walking down the hall and into the bedroom. Not seeing his suit there she turned around and saw the suit sitting on the floor and snatched it up. Heading back down the hall she stopped at the kitchen and set down the clothes she had been holding on the chair to be put away later. "When you head back to the bathroom, there are beach towel sized ones to the left of the pile you snatched from." Although she supposed he didn't have much time to grab one in the first place...

"A man can only hope...." he shrugged. He really had no interest in seeing her without clothes anyway, but he wasn't going to pass up the opportunity if it ever came.
His expression didn't change as he only shook his head. "You can't wash that thing. Dry clean only." He said wishing he could cross his arms. It was why he was so keen on trying to find something else to wear around for a while...either that or go back to the sweaty, stanky suit and just have to shower more often. However a small smirk did come over his face as he was given directions to the beach towel. "I'll settle with that though" he mused as he waltzed past her and returned to his shower.

Rolling her eyes as she had to agree only a man would think of something that perverted, Nariko was a bit surprised the the change of expression but then clued in. "a**..." She muttered as he waltzed back to the bathroom and felt as if a facepaw would be appropriate.
"Fine then, I wont wash it. I'll just wash mine. However i'm not keeping it where I can smell it; it'll hang with the laundry." Heading through another door which she left open, she walked down another hall till it opened up to be a mostly finished bathing room of sorts; which half served as the laundry room till the new wing of the house was going to be added. The open glass gave a lovely view of the lush gardens Trovalius called home in the winter, and already had the large oriental bath ready but needed more work tiling and final touches. Heading to the wooden closets set up she pulled out her steamed and hung up her suit she'd tossed in on her way back out to meet the doctor; hanging Dutch's beside it but out of the way. Pulling gently on the arms she began to run the steam over the fabric, leaving it stationary for a few spots which held blood and other rather dirty spots which would have left a stain otherwise.

Finishing with his shower, he took the time to use the towel he walked out in to dry his fur, which was a bad idea as now it was fluffy and messy all over his body. "Yeesh...talk about a bad hair day" he mumbled as he attempted to straighten the trouble some fur, but soon gave up.
He tossed the smaller towel aside and grabbed one of the longer beach towels to where Nariko had said they would be. He wrapped it around his waist, made sure it was tight and tucked in an edge tightly hoping it wouldn't unfurl. Still he figured a hand on the make shift tuck would keep the towel up, so he grabbed the discarded towel from earlier and opened the bathroom door casually, turning off the light as he moved past the doorway.
"What do you want me to do with the old towel?" he called down the hall

As she continued to clean her suit, watching as the fabric once more turned to its proper state; she smiled as she continued - enjoying the simple joy of a task done. When Dutch called down the hall about the towel, she thought for a moment and looked over to the basket of other things eventually needing attention. However with her mother gone for the time being, there wasn't anyone who'd need them right away.
"Ah, Bring it down here, might as well keep all the to be washed together." She called back, crouching down to work on the legs of the suit before she could call it down and get back to the salad she realized she'd forgotten about in the confusion.

He felt weird walking down those halls. Now that he was more or less in no hurry to get anywhere in the event something had turned dangerous, he realized now how further out of place he was. In a strange house, with only a woman as company, naked, and any clothes out of the question. At least he was seeing the full picture.
He finally navigated his way to where she was and clued in on where the dirty things where and tossed it with the rest of the items to be washed.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw him walk past as he entered the room, dropping the towel where the rest of the laundry pile had grown and gave a soft smile. Finishing off with the final leg as it wasn't as dirty as the rest of the suit was she brushed off a few stray bits before reguarding it as good enough.
Standing and hung the suit on the other rod to dry out and turned off the steamer. Turning around she was at least glad that this towel wasn't giving off that mini skirt look, and was enough to be seen as covering. "That's a little better..." Nariko huffed as she stressed a little, not that she'd have any luck getting through that thick skull of his anyways.
Taking a moment to rub her eyes as she felt that tiredness drift back to her body, she motioned her thumb down the hall. "Shall we go?"

He was already five steps ahead of her. As soon as he dropped off the towel, he looked over her suit and only shook his head, soon turning around and heading back from where he came, just as she had finished her comment about the towel he had chosen. He wasn't fond of it, but it kept her from dragging out the ancient wardrobe and it kept him from running around nude, so it was a compromise of sorts.
By the time she was rubbing her eyes, he was already leaving the kitchen and heading down the hall to the alleged bedroom where he soon plopped down on the floor mattress, making sure to keep his legs facing the wall rather than the door or her bed. He laid on his back and placed his hands behind his head, staring up at the ceiling, feeling the steady throb of his stitched up leg return with a vengence

"...Dutch?" Nariko blinked as she realized he wasn't there anymore, looking around as her eyes lowered and she sighed. "Why do I even bother anymore..." Shaking her head in dismay she turned off the lights as she left and shut the door; catching his tail head into the bedroom as she returned to the kitchen to finish the food she'd started.
None the less, with a large body came a large appetite and it didn't take her long to finish the salad she'd made while observing out the window of the kitchen. Once finished she put the dishes into the washer and the vegetables and such she didn't use back into the fridge. Patting her tummy she was happy for something so she wouldn't wake up eating her pillow again and headed back to the bedroom where she saw Dutch on his bed already staring at the ceiling.
Not one to poke the proverbial bear, she moved around him with ease and flopped down onto her bed with her face in her pillow as a content, muffled sigh escaped. While it wasn't as satisfying as sleeping out in her little bunker of sorts....she couldn't deny the softness of the blanket and mattress was heavenly in its own right.
