Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rivven stopped at the hotsprings, remembering his last experience there, and scanning the area carefully with his eyes before letting himself relax. He didn't want to get ambushed right now. And while twice injured in a month was a lot worse than he thougt he should allow himself to suffer, twice in a day would be utterly ridiculous. He carefully took off and folded his coat, setting it on the earth by the body of water, then taking off the tight black shirt, considering how to sow up the whole in it's stomach when he had time, and lay it folded atop the coat. He took a look at the sun while pulling his sandals of and laying them down beside the other things, pulling off either sock to lay it atop the proper shoe. It looked like he had decent time left. He'd hurry anyway, because he didn't want to be late, whether or not it would upset her greatly. He wouldn't have expected it to, but after her outburst at what he had said, he didn't want to predict where manners as he was used to matched those of others. Of course, timeliness was something he cared about, but he considered lateness completely excusable if there was good reason. He also didn't know if this counted as good reason, but he wanted to clean up after that match. He didn't normally sweat, but he had really pushed himself. He folded his pants and undergarment, laying them beside the other clothes and slipped into the water. He didn't bother to stop the ripple this time, keeping all the chakra he had reserved, for now. He took a block of soap he'd taken from one of the bath rooms, and began washing. He prefered the hotsprings to shower or bath, and it seemed like privacy wasn't much of a worry, so he indulged himself. While he washed, he could feel the spring water seeping into his wounds, deep as they had been, though narrow, and stinging a bit more than a little, but that meant the salts and other minerals in the water were getting in, and those would help heal faster. He wanted to be clean and smell good too, after the fight, and days confined to the men's dormitories before then. Also, he had no idea if a date was a big deal, but to him it was. Quietly, he considered if it was normal to do this with someone who you'd only known a day, or less than in this case, and ran over what had occured during that time he'd spent with Morgan. Several times he found himself feeling embarassed, and when he recalled what he was doing as thinking about her, sitting in the springs bathing, he blushed bright even though he was alone, and looked at the sun again. He should get back to his room and finish soon. He went on to washing his hair, and wondered if he should do anything beside clean himself up for it.

Sakura relaxed in the hot springs, after a long day of beating the s**t out of those damn poachers and taking all her precious energy of healing those injured animals. It was relaxing in the hot springs, she could feel the warm water seep through her toes as she tied her long lavender hair up in a loose ponytail. She had a towel wrapped around her slender body incase the're peeping toms in the wilderness. But for some reason, Sakura felt ill..she felt a high fever come along her forehead. She sunk lower into the warm fresh water, only half her face was seen as she closed her lavender eyes and took a deep breath of air.

Teresa recognize that warm moist in the air from anywhere. It was the hot springs the thought of the two of them going in the hot springs made her cheeks flush a tint of red. Still gently grasping hold of his hand as Quils led them towards the springs.

"I like the hot springs." Teresa stated. "Are we going to share one or have the bloody wooden wall between us?"

Quils aura was changing once more he was coming up with something. "You do know its not ILLEGAL for us to share the same spot. The wall is just there for anyone that is shy about showing off their skin and body."

"If I remember correctly." Teresa started. "There should be a stall for us to change. I have a bag in there that contains my bikini suit. Did you bring something to change into?"

The ground beneath her feet was beginning to get slippery now. Feeling the hot steam caress her face as she stood there beside Quils. Holding onto his hands and hugging onto his arm. The side of her face rubbing against his shoulder as they stood there.

Teresa grins. "Really now?"

She could tell they were nearing the hot springs. They could've only been feet away now. A playful smile came to her lips jugding their time and such. She waited a few more seconds before starting another response.

"Heh..then you better act quickly!" Teresa announced.

Her hands released his arm and instead came to the back of his shoulders and suddenly pushed him over the ledge and straight into the hot springs. Meanwhile, she stood there giggling.

Kasai brushed the strands of hair that fell in front of his face away, and soon the panicked expression returned. "Oh my gosh! Where's Rayne?!" Kasai dashed around the springs looking for her before stopping to ask anyone who might know. "Does anyone here know where I could find Rayne, please?" Kasai had a bit of an apologetic look on his face while he asked the question.

The water splashed upwards onto Teresa after Quils hit. Letting himself sink to the bottom slowly. It wasn't deep, he could stand up easily and be revealed. While submerged he peeled off his clothes until he was bare. With tremendous force he pushed his clothes up out of the water, tossing them onto Teresa as retribution. After a few seconds he himself emerged with a playful smile as he eyed his now soaked girlfriend.
