[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!]

[ He bites into a piece of sugar-dusted zeppole, smiling as the fried dough flakes apart and melts in his mouth. Yeah, that's good. Too good, really; he feels an automatic pang of shame at indulging something so rich and delicious. But ... he'd worked hard, he supposed. Minor decadence was okay. ]

They're fantastic.

[ Another bite, another obvious sigh of satisfaction. ]

We should bake together sometime. I like teaching, but it'd be nice to work with another expert.

[Lapis waits for his verdict, resting her chin in her hands as she glances over at him - hoping that he likes it.

So when he speaks, she smiles softly, nodding in response as she relaxes a bit. Now sitting up a bit straighter, making sure that her towel is on more securely before perking up at his words.]

... That sounds great. I haven't been able to really bake together with anyone in years.

[hymnals]

Well! It just so happens that I've recently acquired my own house, and the kitchen is quite spacious. I'd hate to spend all my time there alone.

[ Smile. ]

So, surely, you'll visit.

[oneirism]

[Hearing that he's got a home here gets her to perk up, and she gives him a soft, but thrilled smile.]

... That's great! I'm sure you - ["So, surely, you'll visit."

Huh?

Cue Lapis freezing in place, blinking him as if she was confused by what he said. Mainly because she is - the only time she's been to other peoples homes was if there was a haunting. So she takes a moment to process this, before deciding on a very eloquent response:]

... Huh?

[hymnals]

I didn't stutter.

[ He arches an eyebrow. ]

If we're to bake together, of course you should come to my kitchen. Unlike the Hall of Glory, it is not subject to the tyrannical whims of government staff.

[ Only his own tyrannical whims. ]

[oneirism]

[She opens her mouth to retort, before just huffing softly, looking like she's almost pouting for a moment. She's just not used to people wanting to do things with her, Adra!!]

... I'll do my best not to make a huge mess, then.
