[ Tacky, yes, like most of the hotels Underground -- but Hei is used to worse. At least it's not as over-the-top as the Rabu Hoteru in Tokyo, complete with theme rooms sporting Olympian baths and Americana kitsch. Hybrids between Disneyland and bordellos, those. He lets Korra's warm fingers curl with his as he scans the interior. The bedroom faces two walls that are made of window, the lamplight dim so their reflection against the glass won't obscure the twinkling view of the Circus Carnivore. Hei takes a moment to log the layout before appreciating the panorama outside. Only civilians wouldn't bother assessing their immediate space but gush over the scenery. Idiots. ]
[ In the bathroom, the white fixtures -- the whole damn bathroom is white white white -- are bright enough to hurt the eyes. The tub -- an enormous jacuzzi -- is in a smaller room that smells of cedar and vanilla. One wall here is floor-to-ceiling glass too, the shiny tiles of the floor inlaid with mosaic art nouveau designs, instead of the usual Grecian maidens playing lyres and froliking with satyrs. A small mercy. ]
[ All in all, nothing dramatically fancy. But it'll do. ]
[ Glancing at Korra, Hei raises an eyebrow, ] Let's try the tub out. [ He's only ever had sex once in a jacuzzi. (It was awful -- too many slippery surfaces and accidental bumps.) But in this case, he has more of a hot soak in mind. ]
