Combustion
The supposed combustion she was feeling in her chest came to a head when he took her hand in his to drag her from the bathing area and they passed a group of very sheepish looking workers -Lin included- on their way to the elevators. Where he was taking her up the machine was a mystery, but he never did let go of her hand.
There was no conversation, just an air of expectancy in their every movement as they arrived on one of the upper floors and he commenced dragging her down random hallways again.
He abruptly stopped though at a doorway that looked like all the others they had passed, turning slightly to her to murmur 'Stay' before disappearing within.
The entire outside wall of the hallway he left her in was made of rice paper windows, almost like her old dorms, and she smiled for a moment at the memory.
From somewhere within she could hear the sound of flesh impacting with tatami flooring and a very masculine hiss telling whomever the occupants of the room were to get out.
Moments later, four bleary eyed men stumbled out of the room, took one look at her, grumbled, and disappeared down the hallway. The next thing she knew a very firm, elegant hand had latched onto her wrist and dragged her headlong into the room, the door sliding shut with a sharp 'clack' behind her.
Note: Ya'll get an early update because I'm in such a fantastic mood; aren't you a lucky bunch. I've been a giggling, flailing, squealing, dancing derp all day, regardless of the fact I'm ill, and I think I should try to rub my good mood off on everyone else.
