Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zosee and Zero padded towards the pools, Zero with a small bag held in his mouth.

"So what was it you wanted me to see?" Zosee asked, looking around the springs. She knew that Zero enjoyed the cold waters here, but they rarely come since, well, Zosee wasn't all that too fond of being in water. She was half Houndour after all.

"Hmmm, I thought it was finally about time you enjoyed the water a bit." Zero replied, his words a bit muffled by the fact he had a bag in his mouth. The Glaceon padded over to the cold water and slipped in gracefully with barely a splash. He looked Zosee expectantly, who was keeping a safe distance away from the water.

"Eh..." She padded to the edge of the water, staring at it dubiously. The wet grass sparked with electricity as her paws touched it, and hissed from her higher-than-normal body temperature. Dealing with small amounts of water didn't affect her; being submerged hurts like hell though.

Zero paddled over to the edge of the pool, laying the bag on the shore. Zosee looked at it curiously; the Glaceon had refused to reveal what it was the entire journey here.

"Open it."

Zosee picked the bag open with a claw, and saw a silvery chain. She grabbed the chain and took a necklace out, a small orange orb dangling off the end. The orb was translucent and hollow inside, where she could see wisps of red and yellow dancing around.

"What is it?" She asked, admiring the swirling colours. Zero hopped out of the water beside her, and she cringed slightly at the water being splashed near her. It didn't hurt, however, though it was uncomfortably cold.

Zero leaned against Zosee, licking her neck-ruff affectionately.

"I bought a Fiery Globe from little sis's shop. Took me a while, but I managed to transfer the magic to your Volt Globe, and it was an easy matter there to make a necklace." Zero reached over with a claw to take it from Zosee, unfastened it, and secured it around her neck. It was a bit of a tight fit, but not uncomfortably so.

"You're amazing, you know that Z?" Zosee told her partner with a grin, batting at the necklace with one paw. She knew what the necklace meant; Fiery Globes help protect fire types from water. It was more than strong enough to keep Zosee comfortable when in water.

Zosee looked at the cold water, and then trotted across over to the warm pool. Fiery Globe or not, she would not enjoy being in freezing cold water. Zero followed her and watched as the Electrike slipped under the surface and then came back up.

"Thanks." She grinned at him, wagging her tail. To her surprise, he slipped down into the water beside her, and she could feel the water rapidly cooling around him.

"Ouch, this is hot." He commented as he settled down. Zosee moved in a bit closer to Zero, enjoying the cooled but still warm water around him.

"You didn't drag me here just to give me the necklace did you?" Zosee asked, closing her eyes. She never knew the water could be so comfortable...

"Hmmhm. I think I've waited long enough Zose. Zosee my love, will you marry me?" He looked back down on his partner, a gentle smile on his face. The Electrike looked up at him for a full few seconds, a smile tugging at the edge of her lips, before looking back down. She let out a little giggle.

"Gods, it took us this long?"

"Apparently."

Raven glanced around nervously as it seemed like he had been walking for a fairly long time with his company whom he was supposed to be guiding around to at least a few decent places that she should get acquainted to. In the end though they had yet to hit one interesting destination; in fact the Lucario was terribly lost himself but afraid to admit it. Fortunately, breaking the trek that up until this point was in complete barren wasteland, the duo came across a set of springs. The place had a very nice atmosphere so he wasn't about to complain; he also remained very proud of himself for the fact that he managed to at least maintain light conversation throughout all of this. Though the majority of topics revolved around Zori rather than himself, it still worked out very well in his eyes.
"Well, uhm here we are~....Somewhere."
He chuckled out, hoping to elicit a laugh with his poor entertaining skills; also showing that he was finally ready to admit defeat to his directionally challenged nature.

"Sorry..."
Raven apologized, blushing a bit in embarrassment as he let his head hang low.
"I should have probably warned you I wasn't going to be the best guide."
He then added somberly, cautiously taking a seat by the edge of the warmed pool as he spoke. At least Rin was right about something though, where they ended up was very relaxing and inviting and with any luck his idiocy would turn out for the better in the end.
