[Open] It's getting hot in here

[showsnopiety]

Who: Caren and anyone visiting the hot springs!
When: Post dungeon, could be right after fail/success, could be days after
Where: Hot Springs of course
What: There's a hot springs, so now there's a hot springs episode.
Rating: Could be a p-13 and beyond because some people are only wearing towels in this place.





[Win or fail, everyone needed a reason and a way to relax. With the fall of the towers, there was all sorts of good things to come from it. Some would say it was the birds; and others would say it was the hot springs.

The large, large pools of heated water. Sure, they could be used as a way to get all steamed up (or even steam punk) but after all that hard work, everyone deserves a break!

Bring your swimsuits, your towels, your drinks and snacks-who knows, you should be able to find them in the bazaars, or even on Airy. It's time to soak in the heat!]

Maybe...it doesn't matter.

[Apart from these pats, he offers Jirou a smile.]

I think I may know what you feel...I mean, a servant without a master, it's the worst possible situation. But it doesn't mean you're useless or worthless. But it does mean you're feeling lonely from time to time. I-In case that happens, you know... [Looking a bit nervous now, he swallows.] You can come and bother me.

[It's not like Jirou ever asked for a permission, but...

That aside, Gilbert knows that the wording might have been a bit better, but he's not sure himself how to put it.]

[sakeplz]

Ah that means you can come bother me too, Gi-chan. If it's lonely for me then that means it must be for you too. Besides that, I just like your company.

[He laughs a bit then rests his head on his arms.]

You make me feel warm. I like it.

[interchained]

Understood.

[His mind goes blank for a second, and then:]

It's the water...the water.

[It must be the water, there's no other explanation...!]

[sakeplz]

Is it?

[He sighs and closes his eyes. Does he look like he might sleep in the water? MAYBE.]

Mmmm...I wonder...

[interchained]

You wonder about what?

[It's a good thing that Gilbert is on alert, especially in situations like this one.]

Hey, if you want to sleep we better get out of here.

[sakeplz]

[He blinks lazily at him.]

Mmmm...I wanted to wash your back first.

[interchained]

It can wait...if anything, we can always come back here later.

[He's still in two minds whether letting Jirou wash his back is a good idea or not...especially now, when he's so drowsy.]

Come on.

[Hauling the other man out isn't something he can do easily, so he needs a little help.]

[sakeplz]

No fuuuuuun.

[He does let himself be hauled out though. Only to lean against Gilbert with a sigh.]

Gi-chan, let's cuddle!

[interchained]

Get used to it, I'm no fun.

[It's a miracle that he managed to get Jirou out of the hot spring, but he's beat.]

H-Here?! Are you kidding me or are you insane...

[sakeplz]

I'm not insane. I'm affectionate!

[interchained]

That's...pretty close.

[But he did tell Jirou to feel free to bother him anytime, so...]

Here.

[Apparently, Gilbert has spread his arms out, but instead of looking at Jirou he looks to the side.]
