Poke poke.
"Tsugumi what are you doing?" Musashi turned around to ask her.
"Why do your pants have hip windows?"
Immediately after she said that Tsugumi migrated from poking them to grabbing them. "That's really weird."
Kojiro looked up from where he was sitting on the ground, the map in front of him. "It's not? It was a super common thing back in the miner village we lived in?"
"Most samurai don't have random chunks of fabric cut out of their hips!" Tsugumi stepped away, placing her hands on her hips. "It's weird!"
"You're weird!" Musashi retaliated with a smile. "You can't even see my hips though? But we can see all of your legs! And your collarbones!"
"Affectionately, that makes you a whore." Kojiro added.
Tsugumi rolled her eyes. "I didn't choose what outfits I wanted to wear, these lovely items of clothing were selected by my absolute deadbeat of a father. Who was also the same man who indirectly taught me that showing off my body in order to get what I wanted was okay to do." she crossed her arms. "But that's in the past, and we're not talking about me, we're talking about how weird your hip-holes are!"
Kojiro threw his hands up in the air. "WHY are we calling them hip-holes? I had those things in my old outfit too, y'know!"
Tsugumi pointed at him. "Okay, but yours probably had a legit reason for being there."
Kojiro raised an eyebrow. "Oh really?"
Tsugumi smirked. "You had hip windows so other men could grab them and pull you close and kiss you right on the-"
"HEY!" Kojiro scrambled to get up. "HUSH UP!"
Tsugumi shrieked, giggling as she ran around Musashi for cover. "KOJIRO YOU DON'T WANNA GET A KISSAROO FROM A BIG STRONG MAN?!"
"SHUT!" Kojiro tried to grab her but she was too squirrelly for him.
Eventually Musashi heaved a sigh. He loved his friends and their excitement but someone had to be the self-proclaimed peace-keeper among them. He caught Tsugumi in the blink of an eye and hoisted her up on his shoulder, lifted her up so she was sitting on his bicep. "You too, Kojiro."
"Hey wha-"
Musashi grabbed him to, putting him in very much the same position. Tsugumi was marveling at his strength which Kojiro was trying his best not to fall off. "Woooow, you're able to lift both of us up with such grace! Your upperbody strength must be incredible, Musashi!" Tsugumi kicked her legs out, beaming.
Musashi grinned. "Yeah! As a miner it was basically all we did was use our arms to swing around heavy pickaxes! So I'm pretty strong!"
"Please don't drop us." Kojiro spoke softly, slightly shaking.
"Aw, do you have no faith in me, Kojiro?!" Musashi giggled. Then he knelt down in order to set them both down gently on a nearby rock. He then took Tsugumi's face in his hands and kissed the top of her head. "A kissaroo from me to you."
Tsugumi giggled, face slightly pink. Kojiro crossed his arms, making a little 'humph' sound. Then Musashi did the same thing to him. Kojiro's face turned as red as Musashi's hair and Tsugumi cackled at him.
"See! Kojiro did get a kissaroo from a big strong man!"
"Shut up!" Kojiro snapped back without any bite to it, still flustered.
