Like you were going to let me get away with NOT doing this"

You know, Ace, we're just teasing. Group bathing is mostly social to us. It's a little sensual sometimes, but mostly in fun. It's actual sex in a shared space we consider tacky. Obviously, no one here minds if you see them naked. And we know you aren't prone to ogling. But it's your choice.

You can enjoy a bath in good company. Back washing optional. We won't leer. Much.

You can leave. But even though we'll deny it, you know there'll be some hurt feelings.

Or, we can let you have the sentA all to yourself. We'll make sure you aren't disturbed.

Oh, there are private bathing facilities, but they're usually in use by people having a moment and have to be reserved ahead of time.

And the lavatories in crew quarters include washing kits, but that's no fun.

Ace
Well, I'm kind of getting used to sharing a hot tub with naked lady friends. I'm just waiting on the one thing sure to happen.

Walton
What's that?

Jaz
Aw, Damn. He's still got clothes on.

Gina
Just pay it to Luna when you can. That'll square what I owe her.

Luna
Bro?! Only one naked lady all over you?

Poor Walton. Now she has to behave.
