Welcome to Gaia! ::

At the slam, he jumped and yelped, dropping his hair and the rubber band in the process. His ears were perked, and his whole body tense up at the noise before looking to Tahki and gave a laugh. "Oh my Jack that scared me," he said, putting a hand to his face. Sighing, he just brushed his hair one last time and picked up the rubber band and put it on his table. He grabbed a bag for the towel and took Tahki's before he noticed what she was wearing.

Oh.

Oh wow, okay. He hadn't expected a bikini. Maybe a cute little one piece, but this? Was... kind of hot. He turned his eyes quickly and cleared his throat before sighing and slung the bag over his shoulder.

"Well.. Let's go," he said, grinning and ushered her back to the door.

The walk had been rather quiet between the two of them. Uller was concentrating on not staring at the ghoul in her bikini, but sometimes, found himself failing to do that. Just the way she moved made him want to just watch her all day. Stupid boy hormones. He tried to keep in front of her to have the temptation reduced, but he'd kept having to glance back to see if he was going to fast for here.

Finally, they got to the springs and the stag sighed heavily. "Well," he stated, stretching out and clearing his throat. "..Which one did you want to try, Tahki?" he asked, busying himself with trying to tie his hair back again. Having just washed the long locks, he didn't really want to get them wet with water that wasn't filtered or changed at all. Sure, if they went in the hot springs it was probably hot enough to kill most of the germs, but his hair would still feel like crap. The cold spring, on the other hand, he wouldn't mind just sitting in that all day and relaxing. Or even a kind of neutral spring.

Uller watched her get in the hot spring and tried not to wince. Wincing would be an indicator that hot springs wasn't what he was here for, really. The cold springs were. Still, he did say he was going to try, thus, he was going to try. Swallowing a little bit, he sighed and dipped his toe in and bit back a whimper. Rubbing his face, he just slowly sank in the water. The heat was alright at first, biting through the frost and ice about him to actually start warming up his body temperature. Rubbing his face a little more with the hot water, he looked over at the Gryphon and gave a small smile.

"Well, it's really warm, isn't it?" He asked, clearing his throat awkwardly.

Tahki seemed to be at ease in the warm waters. Clearly she was meant to last a bit longer than he was in these cases, or maybe she just wanted to get the chill off of her skin. He couldn't imagine why, honestly. The chill was nice. Winter was coming and would only mean he could wear his favorite light outfits. He sighed as Uller watched his friend submerge herself and then blinked at the bubbles before yelping and climbing out of the spring completely.

He watched as she came up a gryphon and sighed a little, laughing. He hadn't been expecting that, but it was fine. The same thing would happen to him if he didn't wear a necklace. Reaching out, he ruffled some water off of her feathers on the top of her head and grinned wide. "I was wondering what you looked like like this!" He said excitedly. She was a magnificent monster. Strong and powerful, and the combination of fur and feathers was very nice.

He glanced down in the waters that had stopped bubbling by now and looked around for her pin. Did they float? He really didn't know. Making a questioning noise, he looked back up to her. "You look amazing in this form. Very elegant..." His cheeks were flushed as he spoke and gave another laugh. He felt like such an idiot. What did one usually say when this happened? Jack if he knew!
