[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!]

[ CAREN. Caren. Caren you broke his heart. ]

...Oh.

[showsnopiety]

...

[Minato don't look like that.]

You realize that I brought numerous food stuffs and drinks to satisfy the gluttons?

[burnmydread]

...

[ Unbreak his heart? ]

Really?

[showsnopiety]

[Unbreak his heart. Minato you big baby.]

Really. I know heroes are drawn to food, you among them.

[burnmydread]

[ At least he's cute, right? Right. ]

You die without food.

[ And without breathing, but, you know...details. ]

[showsnopiety]

[Yeah sure we'll go with that.]

You die without a lot of things.

[Very matter of fact here. But she's getting up, and motioning him to come with.]

It's nearby. We can take some and come back here, or settle in a new spot.

[burnmydread]

[ He does follow without much prompting. Because, hey, food time. He's easily motivated by food. ]

That sounds good.

[ Eat a lot, and then relax in the bath? This is a recipe for another nap. He's not going to say that in case she doesn't want to feed him anymore, though. ]

[showsnopiety]

[If he said that out loud, she would have hit him. And then banned him from the snacks. She goes for the low blows.

Thankfully for him, they walk off, and they come to a small mountain of snacks. There's also various drinks-including liquor-and her carrier the snake, and her shawl.

And that's when she makes a gesture.]

Help yourself.

[burnmydread]

[ That would have been awful. You're a cruel mistress, Caren...

It is a small mountain, but a mountain all the same. Minato's disposition changes almost instantly when he sees it, looking much more lively than he has been probably all day. ]

Thank you.

[ Don't mind him digging right in. Are those crackers? Not anymore. He's a hoover. ]

[showsnopiety]

[He really is a creature of simple pleasures, wasn't he. But he was restful all the same. Well. Most of the time.]

You're welcome, and try not to choke.

[She's actually being serious and watching him because of his hoover-ness. Seriously Minato is she going to have to save your life from a cracker?]

[burnmydread]

[ If there's one thing he knows how to do well, it's eating. He won't choke, he's...well, he probably won't choke. He's still putting it away fairly quickly, though. ]

Where did you get all of this?

[showsnopiety]

There was Airy, some bazaars that were quickly converted by the harpies.

[She shrugs.]

They had quite a few snacks around for cheap. I took the time to check around.

[burnmydread]

I already ate the ones I brought with me.

[ Which shouldn't be surprising at all considering he's already finished what he initially picked out of her stash. ]

[showsnopiety]

No wonder you fell asleep.

[She sighs at him.]

You really are a glutton.

[burnmydread]

[ He gives a shrug as he starts picking out round two. Candies? There has to be chocolate. ]

Food is one of the best things in life.

[showsnopiety]

[Yes, there are chocolates. If he makes the effort, he'll find the really good stuff. They might be on the bottom.

But really, she has to sake her head because...he's so chill.]

What are the other best things in life?

[She wants to know. Since well...she's interested in what motivates somewhat normal people.]

[burnmydread]

[ Luckily, Minato is willing to eat the less good stuff in getting to the really good stuff. So he'll make his way through it.

What are the other best things? He pops a chocolate into his mouth. ]

...Sleep.

[ Look at him, he's so funny. ]

Friends.

[ Sleeping with friends? Haha. ]

[showsnopiety]

Mm. If you string it together, you could say it's sleeping with friends.

[Oh look, she connected the dots. Aren't they hilarious.]

[burnmydread]

[ Look at him giving her the thumbs up.

See? Shit's hilarious. ]

Something like that.

[ He eats another chocolate. ]

[showsnopiety]

[Well, he was hilarious first.]

Mm.

[She considers him for a few moments, before she shakes her head, and settles. Yeah she's got nothing, she's just going to chill.]
