With just a few words, the man silenced Yuder for a moment, then broke the silence with a sigh and a smile.
"I didn't expect to be so startled, it's my fault for noticing too late and not behaving properly."

“If I'm to speak frankly... of course, I don't want to stop. But if we do it here, we’ll get cold.”
After these words, Kishiar tenderly bit and sucked on Yuder's lower lip, then let it go. It was a clever touch, gentle enough not to hurt but still unmistakably stimulating.

Yuder rose and collapsed into Kishiar’s neck. The man, as if he had been waiting, embraced Yuder in his arms and buried his head. The water was churning and overflowing, but no one cared.

Kishiar had listed many names on the dispatch roster, in addition to the members' names. Among them were Enon, Hellem, and even Alik, a disciple of Thais Yulman.
