[Open] It's getting hot in here
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!]

no subject
When she approaches closer, unfazed by her strange coaxing methods, she does initiate a conversation. ]
I see that you are enjoying yourself. [ Of course, she doesn't know to what extent a hot spring offers for Caren.
Also, she has goodies in forms of food. ]
no subject
[It's a rather simple statement. Really, there could be some physical pleasure to take from the warmth, after all of the wind chapping, climbing to great heights and all. But...she's also wondering who'd be foolish enough to come close.
And, she seemed she lured in a Saber with food.]
Help yourself to the food. They are not mana infused, but they are good.
[Idly, as she stretches once (her arms are sore from all of the tight gripping she had to do for hours on end)]
I did not make them. But I did not forget my promise either.
no subject
She comes closer to look over the food, unsure which she should taken. A little bolder than before, she relaxed due to the steam and that they left on a rather good note last time. She takes a couple of snacks before settling next to Caren, nibbling like a hamster. ]
I see that you explored the dungeon. Did your venture go well, Caren?
[ These are good, so she munches faster, but her attention is still on her. ]
no subject
[She waves it off, a quick assurance. She's rather amused at how Saber is a little like a shy pet, not knowing if this was all right for her to take. Maybe all that singing, and the escorting, helped.]
It was certainly an adventure. I was able to use skills I hadn't before. We lived, and I suppose that is enough.
[Maybe she should have gotten some mana infused fruits for Saber. It wouldn't have been as cheap, but it would have been mildly entertaining to see her excitement.]
And yourself? It must have been quite the experience for you.
[Particularly with her magic weapon being the Grail. She still doesn't know how it's supposed to work.]
no subject
I am glad to hear that your group has been successful. [ Genuine thoughts. The dungeon was rather dangerous with its heights and obstacles. While her expression had been positive for the most part, it dims as she asks about her own.
God, she went with Gilgamesh and it was... not bad, but she could have lived without some things happening--like being tossed around like a rag doll. ]
It... went well. I was gifted a sword recently, so I was of use for the most part aside from my Grail. [ She doesn't disclose more, but it's obvious It Was Bad. ]
no subject
Caren tips her head in thanks; it was a hard battle, with all of the things that went down. Armed birds, alchemy, all sorts of strange things. But...well. Caren had no idea who Saber went with.
But it sounded bad. The king of knights was no braggart, but she wouldn't skip out on details either.]
A magic weapon, or just a sword?
[She was curious about that, even as she raised her eyebrows. Tell her. How Bad. She wants juicy details. For...reasons.]
no subject
Yet.
Soon. ]
It serves its purpose. [ Saber still finds no reason to vent about it all yet, but her expression illustrates she's on the verge. She only needs another push again to go on a vehement tirade. ]
no subject
[She says it calmly enough. And knowing that Saber could easily make friends in this place, there is one thing that springs to mind: that Gilgamesh would have been, in his own way, offended at the lack.
Also, it's just funny to get him into trouble, warranted or not.]
But I would not be surprised if someone decided you were best off with the gift. Perhaps the king of heroes wanted to see you with a blade in your hands so he could dash it out of them, properly.
[She pauses. And lightly, she continues,]
He hasn't been meddling with your battles, has he?
no subject
GROSS.
Just the mention of Gilgamesh unravels repressed spite, really. She doesn't mean it, but it's a kneejerk reaction--it's been embedded into her being now to react in such a way to the man's gifts and proposals. It's unfair, so she tries... to look less like a grudgewanker. ]
While I have my suspicions, it would bring me utmost relief if it wasn't him. [ Gratitude to Gilgamesh, two double Gs that should never be put into one sentence. For now, she'll only take it as Caren giving her a theory instead of the truth. Saber is good at denying the truth, after all. ]
I wouldn't say meddling, but his tactics can use work. [ Tact, in general. ] His performance in the dungeon was...
[ How does she say it? Sometimes he's okay, then other times his face is planted into rubble. ]
Dissonant?
no subject
A tyrant. He rules because he is; Saber conducts herself as a sacrifice for the people. They'd never truly get along because of it.
So she has to add more fuel to the fire.]
He does have a business. And I'm certain that he would love nothing more to have you in his debt.
[Caren has to tilt her head. Dissonant? That doesn't sound like him. But then again, what little she had heard reported and seen for herself was based on another world.]
Could you clarify, please? I'm afraid I don't understand.
no subject
She's more annoyed with his mannerisms outside of battle, actually. Still, she recollects her memories... Making sure to only tell the ones where it doesn't paint her as an unfortunate victim. She won't accept pity of any kind. Scratching her cheek, she remembers one thing. ]
He's not exactly elegant at time. [ Here we go. ] He practically slammed his face into the tower.
no subject
Caren straightens up a little, and her expression shifts to that of soft surprise. As if Gilgamesh could not possibly, never ever be any kind of....doof.]
He nearly slammed his face into the tower? And here I thought Servants were supposed to be....[A delicate pause.] Graceful.
no subject
Okay, she moves on. ]
I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. No one is perfect. [ Damn, this is technically the biggest burn, really. She doesn't know that though. ]
no subject
...really you're making it hard for her not to laugh.]
That is true. Not even the King of Heroes. But is his...clumsiness the only issue?
no subject
... No, she still doesn't see what she said wrong. It's only the truth, so she'll continue even though she hopes Caren to enlighten her. She eyes her, still not sure how much to disclose. While the King of Heroes is also King Loudmouth, she doesn't feel it's her place to talk about him personal stuff.
Talking shit is okay though, but still, she's curious. ]
Do you know him personally, Caren?
no subject
[No, she did not hide it well, at all. But she smiles just so sweetly back at Saber. This is not going to go very well.]
I do. I knew him, as I did Lancer. I knew of Archer perhaps more than he is aware; I knew of Assassin and Caster, and Rider too.
It was part of my business to be aware of the situation, and some things cropped up.
[She leans forward suddenly.]
For example-I know that you, by all rights, look particularly fetching in a bikini-but you have never learned to swim.
no subject
Her eyes are wide as if Caren threw cold water on her. ]
I am familiar with swimming now. [ kind
of.......... ]
no subject
[She asks this softly, quietly. She's still smiling. Caren, why do you have to ruin everything. Her voice drops, softer still.]
Was it Shirou who showed you?
no subject
And, no, it was not. [ Though she guesses it would have been nice if he did. Then again, as Caren said, she walked on water at the time.
It was not necessary. ]
A couple of people came to my aid... When I first arrived.
no subject
[She watches her for a few moments. And very quietly:]
He taught you himself when he took you to the local pool.
[And she draws back, her expression blank. It's good to be her. No need to feel like she has to be nice or anything! It's great.]
no subject
But why does Caren know? Even dropping this all onto her. Of course, she can tell the woman is enjoying her temporary despair. ]
Were you also there, Caren?
no subject
[She blinks, slowly. Lazily. Much like a hunting cat, watching its prey twitch and writhe. She's drinking it in all right. She can behave, but only when she wants.
If nothing else, she's a Kotomine through and through.]
Especially to a date.
no subject
A... date? [ She knows what it is, but she asks as if she doesn't. You gotta be kidding, Caren. Don't play her like that, you're a funny lass. ]
no subject
[She's completely serious. She's going to close her eyes now. Isn't this relaxing Saber? It's really relaxing.]
Help yourself to more of the snacks, will you? I'd hate for them to go to waste.
[They wouldn't, but it's less to carry back to the dorm.]
no subject
Friend dates are okay and welcomed. ]
Did you not get along with them? [ As in like, Rin and Shirou.
...
She probably didn't, she can tell. Why did she even ask? Whatever, let's hear it. ]
