[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!]

You can make as much trouble as you want.

[ That's what kids do, isn't it? ]

You did look very comfortable.

[arcanepower]

Oh, don't say that. I think you will regret it at some point.

[He really does try to behave. Adra's life is hard enough.]

So long as no one can actually see how naked I am. [He's definitely blushing.] Thankfully, I don't attract as much attention as I would were I covered in tattoos. [He doesn't have to gesture to Adra for him to know exactly what he means.] I just have the ones on my back.

[ He doubts he will, but he lets it go--for now. ]

I'm afraid your ears alone will mark you as something exotic to these people.

[ The tattoos, though. ]

The markings on your back ... I recognize my own House, of course, but what about the rest?

[arcanepower]

[The mere mention of his ears makes them flatten.]

Unfortunately.

[Everyone keeps calling them cute. He doesn't want to be cute! He wants to be badass!]

Ah, right. The other one is my bloodline. When mages come into their powers, they are given the tattoo. It's... a rite of passage meant to enhance our abilities, or so the story goes. All it really does is glow a little when I call a spell, but it marks me as a Spellscry nonetheless.

[He turns a little so Adra can see it properly. There's a planet between his shoulderblades, the sun, the Pale Lady, and the Blue Child.

And of course the sun and shield of Anor'thalion.]

Even though it was over ten years ago, I still remember how much it hurt. That is why the other one has no runes or magical ink involved.
