Liz nodded and tilted her head back a bit, resting it on the edge of the pool. Now she was nice and relaxed.

Two weeks later found the club and assorted clients and two guests up in the mountains at a special spa resort Kyoya's family owned.

Lucy looked around with a little grin. Okay, the place looked really nice. "Good call," she murmured to Liz.

"Thanks," Liz murmured back. "Apparently, Kyoya's family owns a ton of places like this. Must be nice."

"No kidding," Lucy murmured. "Well, shall we find out where we're staying and then explore some?" She figured the guys had to work during the day with the clients, and she wasn't going to interrupt that.

"Sounds good to me," Liz replied, nodding. She let the workers take care of her bags as she headed towards the room they had been given. It really was a very nice place.

Lucy was also quite impressed with everything. It was beautiful outside, with plenty of options at the spa; mineral baths, massages, things like that. She thought she might take advantage of one while she was there. After she explored.

Liz was definitely going to take advantage of the spa options, and was already planning out parts of her weekend to accommodate it. But she did want to explore, first, and see what there was to see.

After making sure everything was in order with the room, Lucy looked over at Liz.

"Want to go take a look around and see what all there is to see here?"

"Sure," Liz replied, nodding. She followed Lucy out the door, letting her friend lead the way for now.

Lucy took her time exploring, smiling a bit when she found nice quiet little places to read in the sun. She'd have to go back to one of those.

She did pause and blink in surprise when she came across a tea party in one of those cubbies though.

Liz wasn't interested in the tea set, she was more interested in the quiet, shady spots around the grounds. They would be nice places to just sit and relax.

Lucy kept exploring for a little while before she stretched.

"Well, I think I'm going to find a spot to sit and read for a little while," she said, looking over at Liz.

"Go ahead," Liz said. She grinned. "I'm going to go take advantage of the spa. I need a massage and a mud treatment."

"I think I'm going to save that for tomorrow." Lucy grinned. "Have fun, though, let me know how it goes."

"I definitely will," Liz said, nodding. She waved to Lucy and headed off to the spa.

Lucy waved back and went to go grab her book and find a good spot to settle down.

Liz disappeared into the spa. She desperately needed some spa treatment, and she knew exactly where she wanted to start.

The rest of the day for the hosts was taken up by clients, but once it got dark and got closer to dinner time, everyone split. The clients were staying in a separate building and so being fed separately, while the hosts and the two extra guests were staying in the first building.

Lucy did have to be fetched to come in for dinner, though. She was too absorbed in her book.

Honey didn't mind fetching Lucy, not at all. He bounced over to her, Mori on his heels.

"Lucy! Time for dinner!"

Liz had thoroughly enjoyed her trip to the spa, and had settled in with her sketchbook. It was the perfect opportunity to design something new.

Lucy blinked and looked up from her book. "Is it time already?" she asked, stretching a bit on her chair.

The twins had ventured off to go get Liz and moved behind her, peering over her shoulder.

"Nice," Kaoru said.

"I like it," Hikaru added with a grin.

"Yup!" Honey chirped. He grinned brightly. "Authentic rustic cooking, too!"

Liz jumped slightly when they appeared behind her.

"Thanks," she said, holding the sketchpad so they could see it properly. "I'm not sure if it'll be a dress or a tunic, but I like the asymmetric hem."

Lucy chuckled. "Sounds tasty," she agreed, rolling her shoulders. She'd definitely have to get a massage tomorrow; she'd been too absorbed in her book.

The twins nodded. "What color accents?" Kaoru asked, looking at the sketch.

Honey beamed as Mori helped Lucy to her feet.

"Come on," he said.

"Turquoise and gold," Liz. "Metallic gold. Some green."

Lucy nodded and walked with the two back inside. "I hadn't realized it had gotten so late."

"Should be good," Kaoru said.

"You'll have to show us when you make it," Hikaru said with a grin.

"It's not that late," Honey said. "We wanted to have dinner a bit early."

"I need to see if I can find the right kind of chiffon when we get home," Liz said. "And satin. Or silk, silk would be nice."
