[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!]

I would not be invited to such events.

[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.

[armorial]

[ ?! ]

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. ]

[showsnopiety]

A date.

[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.]

[armorial]

[ You know what? She's going to drop it because she has never considered her master to be anything but her friend (in this route). It's such... a strange thing to imagine--unless it's a friend date.

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. ]

[showsnopiety]

You and she didn't know I exist. I was never considered anything but a front for information.

[She rolls her shoulders in a shrug. Very lazy atm.]

A means to an end. No more, and no less.

[armorial]

[ Hmm... She ponders on this all over again. While Caren isn't all good company, she finds the other woman tolerable to an extent. ]

Then I hope this world gives you more opportunities to enjoy the company of others. [ It sounds like Caren had a tough time... Being a nun.

Kirei's daughter.


And a little shit. ]

[showsnopiety]

[Tolerable. Well, it's honest at least? And she's not always terrible. Just most of the time.

Caren shrugs, and eases up onto her feet.]

It's an odd experience, and one I am not used to, for certain.

I will take my leave for now, but...would you mind if I gave you something before I go?

[armorial]

[ She watches her rise up, not questioning her or what she's going to give her at all. Let's be real, Saber is expecting it to be more food because ever since Caren mentioned to grab more

she doubled the amount she took over time. ]

I do not mind. [ WAIT. Wait. There's something strange about this. ] May I ask what is it first?

[showsnopiety]

[....yup, Saber was a hamster. Caren would not be surprised if one day she found Saber with fat lil cheeks from trying to conceal the amount of food she had taken, possibly stolen.

She drifts closer.]

Nothing unpleasant, I assure you, and nothing that would close you or others harm.

[She promises. Cross her little black heart.]

[armorial]

[ She does not steal food. It is merely offered to her on a platter most of the time...! Blinking several times, she has to make her decision. ]

Then you may. [ Her friends and the general populace are safe! ]

[showsnopiety]

[Because it was a plate, there'd be nothing left...she considers, before nodding once.]

Good.

[She's close enough now. So she'll duck down and make to press her lips against Sabers.]

[armorial]

[ ?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?! ]

Caren. [ Is this real life? Why did you do this? For what purpose? She can't even say more because she's so speechless. Not even mortified, only confused. ]

[showsnopiety]

Saber.

[She smiles, and lightly brushes her fingers against Saber's cheek, before drawing back.]

You looked like you needed the perk.

[Keep the rest of the food, Saber, she's just going to walk away. Oh, she's going to have fun when Gilgamesh found out about this.]
