So, I wrote a little something...

Kirishima adjusted her glasses and frowned as she followed Wash. Part of her kept glancing around the area in thought. "So, Gale-Chan is in this... Sauna?"

Glancing back, Wash nodded and didn't notice one of the servicemen walk into a pillar at the sight of both Battleships in their swimwear. "Yes, or at least that is what I've been told." She then frowned a little and raised her eyebrow. "I thought that Japan had saunas as well...?"

With a sigh, Kirishima waved her off. "Sadly, none of those of us who have returned, outside of maybe Hibiki, have enjoyed such." At the raised eyebrow, Kirishima smirked a bit. "I've heard rumours that Hibiki may have built her own which she shares with the rest of DesDiv6. But I've never seen confirmation."

Frowning in thought, Wash gave a slight nod. "If I'm ever in Japan, I'll need to check it out."

Beside her, Kirishima just smiled a bit before she became thoughtful as well. "Is there any form of etiquette I should know?"

All Wash did was shake her head a bit as they came into view of the sauna. "Not... That I know of. But we should ask Gale when we see her."

Just then, they finally reached the sauna and Wash opened the door as Gale turned toward them. "Wash? Kirishima?"

Unknown to Gale though, both Battleships froze at the sight of her. Despite already having seen her in various forms of dress, the sight of the Yeoman wrapped in a towel caused their boilers to sputter. It certainly did not help matters that the perspiration and condensation on Gale's skin caused it to practically glisten under the light. Unseen by Wash was how Kirishima's glasses began to fog up. Finally, Wash swallowed and gave a small smile. "Hello, Gale... Mind if we join you?"

The flush on Gale's cheeks as she crossed her legs could have been from the heat, or it could have been the thought that both Battleships were going to join her. Of course, neither Wash not Kirishima were about to complain. That said, it was then that Wash noticed a bead of sweat slowly make it's way down Gale's forehead. With all her ability as a Battleship, Wash locked onto it as did Kirishima while the bead rolled down Gale's cheek and then along the curve of her neck. Then it followed her collarbone before finally vanishing under the towel wrapped around Gale's body.

Meanwhile, Gale was confused at the stares before she snapped her fingers. "Uh, Wash? Earth to Wash?" When said Battleship finally snapped out of whatever thoughts she was in, Gale raised an eyebrow and patted the bench. "Sure, I don't mind some company. Towels are right there so wrap yourself up in one. Just hurry up before you let all the heat and steam out."

Reaching for a bottle of water, Gale drank from it, not seeing both Battleships give her appreciative looks. Clearing her throat, Kirishima glanced over. "Is there anything that we should know about etiquette?"

With a slow blink, Gale frowned and then shrugged. "Well... You should take off your glasses and headgear. Metal does get kind of uncomfortably hot in saunas." Her frown deepening, Gale considered it some more. "Don't know if it counts for you though..."

Walking over, Wash just nodded. "I see..." A moment later, she watched as Gale threw some more water onto the stones, causing steam to billow around her. Seeing that, Wash nearly choked a bit as Gale turned toward her. 'She looked like a siren. Or one of those enchantresses from the magazines my crew read...'

Sadly, Gale didn't realize this as she just hummed. Though a few minutes later she did wonder why Wash and Kirishima sat rather close to her on either side...

One of Gale ancestors was a siren.

That's now my headcannon.
 
Admittedly, you are described as being an attractive woman

Jersey: Gale's actually really good looking. Like... damn, she's cute.

From SB:
Yeoman Gale's of solidly average height. Maybe a hair over, but she's nowhere near Jersey and shorter than Wash. She's got a noticeably flat chest and a Tenryuu-tier fluffy tummy. Spending so much time with shipgirls (and her prior service as a regular NCO) has her stuck with a permanent "Oh yay, this shit again" look. She can smile though, and it's a sight for sore eyes when she does.

Hm.. Early Installment Weirdness? Or she really part-siren and has effect on sailors, no matter the appearance?
 
Poor Gale, her dates getting hijacked by those damn destroyers

I guess you could say, destroyed
