-The sulfur smell of the natural hot spring was strong in the air where the ginger haired Miqo'te was leaned with her head back on the rocks. A green bottle of some dark liquid rested with in easy reach. A small fire had been built close by in the snow. A small cook pot simmered away above it. Just beyond that were a pile of clothes, and lashed to a tree was a Chocobo, curled under the boughs, bits of feed evident next to it’s sleeping head. Large barrel shaped baskets, tied with harnesses for the Chocobo were settled with the barding.

She blinked sea green eyes as the pair came out of the trees. She nodded to the pair “Welcome to my camp, stove’s open if ya wish, fish stew is on the menu if'n ya don’t mind splittin’ it t'ree ways.” she offered openly. She moved letting the pair see she had a swimsuit on. “I should have guessed ya might pop up, since this is where ya was when I was passin’ through last.” She watched the pair, grabbing the bottle, popping the rubber and glass stopper with a clink of the metal clasps before taking a long swig. She watched them mull it over, then smiled as the dark haired Miqo'te woman laid the hide blanket she was carrying out close to the fire, the man unslung their own basket, setting it on the blanket, laying his lance to hand as well.

“Sorry, been fishing since late last night, I needed ta warm up before finishing the trek ta Ishgard, and remembered this place was here.” she chatted, watching the pair slip out of their outer layers, taking another sip of rum, then climbing from the water, she poured the last of the rum into the stew, setting the empty bottle next to the pile of cloths and pulling out a heavy travel bag, and from within a fresh bottle of rum. She held out the bottle to the pair as they settled themselves into the water.

“It’s cold enough, my load won’t spoil, had planned on grabbing some sleep after relaxin’ a bit, but, if ya both would like ta be alone, It wouldn’t take much after I ate, ta load up and clear out for ya.” She lay back, ducking her head under the hot bubbly water, before rising again. “I’m Sahxa, and if I remember, yer Cedric and Faye”.

Some of the gang went bowling!

Bonus, Sahxa decided this was the perfect place for a nap:
