[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!]

Comments

[showsnopiety]

So you would help those who've come here return to their worlds, but not yourself.

[....huh.]

[accordance]

That is correct.

[ What use is there to fight against the truth? The truth of his world's destruction? ]

I understand this is a strange sentiment to have, if I were a human. But I am not.

[showsnopiety]

No, it wouldn't be so strange, even if you were human.

[She shakes her head.]

Charity is and isn't the right word for it. A generosity of spirit perhaps?

[accordance]

[ He tilts his head, slightly curious. It's difficult for humans to discard their sense of selfishness. ]

You could put it that way.

[ A pause. ]

Will you return, if you could?

[showsnopiety]

[She knows she's a selfish creature. That's never been a doubt.]

I don't see why not?

[She lifts her shoulders once.]

But so long as I am able to fulfil my purpose, it doesn't matter where I am.

[accordance]

[ Her purpose... well, that's not a sentence he had been expecting her to say. ]

You have already decided on your purpose?

[showsnopiety]

I don't do well when I'm aimless.

[Which is more or less true.]

Have you?

[accordance]

[ Not many being do well when they are aimless. ]

I have borne a purpose for a very long time. I am here to assist the people, even if they are not from my world.

[ So that makes two, but only in having a purpose. Whether Caren shares his purpose is another question altogether. ]

[showsnopiety]

That's an interesting purpose.

[She watches him calmly, not telling him one way or the other what hers is. That'd take explaining or...well, Caren does like being cryptic, sometimes.]

[accordance]

[ Cryptic does give one an air of mystery. ]

I hope you find pursuing yours fulfilling.

[ Given that she is a mortal. Or at least, that's what he assumes. ]

[showsnopiety]

[Cryptic gotta be cryptic.]

My thanks.

[And she kind of...lapses into silence. Maybe this is where she flounces off, all mysterious like? Hmmmm.]

[accordance]

[ If anything, he doesn't have much else to raise, either. It seems this conversation is bound for a close. ]

I hope I did not take up too much of your time.

[ She can leave now, if she wishes. ]

[showsnopiety]

And I can only hope for the same.

[She lifts her hands in a wave, before she starts slowly walking away.]

Enjoy your time here.

[accordance]

To you as well.

[ The wave is returned. ]

Till next time.

[showsnopiety]

Till then.

[And off she goes.]
