[Iwai turns back around to face Yuri after stepping out of his pants and underwear, which leaves him completely naked, and his mouth twitches with amusement when he discovers how little Yuri's done while he stripped down. Looks like someone was too captivated by something...
They're not actually something he's proud of, these tattoos. Getting them removed isn't anywhere near financially viable and might be physically impossible with his amount of ink, but that's not the only reason he holds onto them - it's a sort of self-flagellation every time he reveals them to another person who assumed he was a good guy, the shame acting as a brand to burn into his soul his determination never to fuck up that spectacularly again.
But some people do find them attractive, and Iwai had a feeling that pretty little thrill-seeker Yuri would be among that group. Discovering that he was right makes him square his broad shoulders, eyes following Yuri's hands as he answers.]
Real enough that I ain't been in an onsen in over 20 years. I'm out now, but I did 13 years with the family.
