@thefalsechild , can’t we take our time with this task?
A long and measured sigh left this King, as he slowly and carefully lowered his body into the hot spring waters, such a stark contrast to the outer air that plunging himself too quickly would surely result in too much discomfort, if not outright pain.
Soon enough, he was up to his neck, and he could bask in it. He hadn’t felt such warmth since he arrived, and it was fortunate he finally had a good excuse to enjoy these hot springs...and with a friend. He moved to rest his arms up on the side of the pool, red eyes looking up to Kingu who hadn’t even abandoned his towel yet.
“Well? You can’t enjoy these springs or help me retrieve this lost comb if you won’t get in. No use being shy.”
It’s not as if you have anything I haven’t seen before, he wanted to say, but he knew better than that. Much too many implications.
