Seven nights had been spent staying up late and mmorpging on her computer. The newest mmo had been released and Tahki would be damned if she'd be left behind in the leveling. Several energy drink cans were very chaotically laid around her desk as well as various snacks of fish. Her minipets had taken to cleaning up her dorm them selves. MOSTLY scruffums. Aisha and Choco Choco had mostly just sat there and been wastes of spaces.
Now it was morning. Tahki was finding it very difficult to open her eyes after staying up so late for the past several nights. She managed but the battle to open her eyes was no easy one. They wanted to stay close. Slowly she had managed to wake up. Sort of. She laid there in bed and kind of stared up at her ceiling and wondered what her friends might be up to. It had been a while since she last had been social. Her room was growing all to familiar and comfortable.
Slowly she shook her covers off and let her taloned feet touch the ground.

Uller had been getting himself used to the computer Tahki had built him. He was surprised by how fast she'd gathered the parts and built it for him. She taught him a few things before she holed herself up in her room. Occasionally they chatted over messengers. He was getting to like her a bit more ever time they talked. He already classified her as one of his best friends, just because they could have fun and be goofy together and he wouldn't get judged. In public, though, they were both very different. He was snobbish while she was more reserved. He stated his opinion and she just kind of kept to herself. It was a wonder they got a long.
Still, they'd bonded over breaking his scaretop and building a new one for him. Well, it was a desktop, not a scaretop, and he didn't even have to beat it! Tahki had taught him that beating on a scaretop or desktop or even a tomblet was a bad idea. He was starting to believe her.
However, today he wanted to get both of them out of their rooms. He wanted some more one on one time with her. He'd stayed up late at night trying to think of something fun for them to do where they would both be fairly comfortable. Then he remembered what Yin had told him. The springs! That's it.
Getting his spiral notebook, he wrote her a short letter. He could have just e-mailed her, but that seemed impractical and impersonal. So, before she stirred around, Uller had slipped the note under her door and scurried back to his room like a scared mini.
The note read:
'Tahki,
Do... you want to go to the springs with me today? If so, knock on my door, ready to go. I'll be waiting.
Uller'
He'd been struggling with how to end it. So, he'd just written his last name instead of embarassing himself further.
Why he needed a whole piece of paper for that was beyond him, but whatever. Now he sat on his bed, dressed casually, swimming trunks in a bag, along with his towel. He heard there were changing rooms there.

There was something that had slid under her door. The gryphon groggily worked her way to the door to pick up what ever it was. Tahki assumed it might be another field trip notice. Usually the gryphon tossed those in with the trash. The few field trips she'd actually gone to had always turned out to be more trouble and hurt than they were worth. Some one always got hurt or worse. And now there were threats of hunters or something buzzing around the interweb. But to the gryphons surprise, it was from Uller. Tahki stared at it for a moment. An inventation to the hot springs seemed innocent enough. Though Tahki did wonder why Uller didn't just ask her him self. She didnt think to much on that small fact though. Really Tahki was pretty happy that Uller wanted to spend more time with her. Building him a computer to match hers had been a lot of fun. Maybe he had some questions or something. Tahki pocketed the note and slipped out her door to go knock on Ullers. She was oddly comfortable just showing up at his door now. "Uller?" She questioned as she knocked on his door.

Waiting was a pain. Really, Uller was impatient though he tired desperately to be the opposite. Sighing to himself, he rubbed his face and looked around his room. What could he distract himself with while Tahki was waking up and getting ready or whatever she was doing? Who knew how long she'd be asleep today. Walking to his new desktop, he booted it up and sat in the chair. Almost automatically the quizzle they both rescued jumped into his lap and he reached down to pet it's head softly, scratching behind his ears absentmindedly as he typed in his password with one hand. Waiting a little bit more, he moved to click over to play some random, easy, mind numbing game. It wasn't long, however, that he heard a knock on his door. With a lap full of Quizzle it was hard to get up to get it. Then the voice came and he just smiled. "It's unlocked, Tahki," he called out, still playing the card game. He was quite bad at it, but it was entertaining for now.

Tahki did as she was instructed and let her self in. She loomed with the door half open for a moment, watching Uller with some cards, before she let the door gently shut behind her. The satisfying click noise from the door was heard which signaled it was okay for her to let go of the door knob. She went to kneel beside Uller. "What kind of card game are you playing?" Tahki eyed the cards curiously. Her tail twitched. It looked interesting what ever it was.

"Crazy Eights or something," he said, shrugging as he changed the suit of what they were playing. It was against four computers, so the Stag had very little chance of actually winning. Still, it wasn't really timed, so he felt no real pressure to hurry up like they did. "I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm learning the game as I go," he said, glancing down to her. The Quizzle saw Tahki and moved over to her, making little, delighted noises to see her. Of course it would. Tahki had helped saved it, too! "So," Uller said, turning from the game for a moment. A red flush was on his face, turning his cheeks a little tinge of purple. "Yin told me of some springs. Both hot and cold...? I guess you got the note, though..." He was nervous now. Clearing his throat, Uller rubbed his cheeks before petting the Quizzle's back again.

Happy noises made Tahkis ears wiggle. She looked down at the quizzle and smiled giving it a scratch behind its ear with a single index finger. The more gentle the petting the better animals responded was what Tahki knew from personal experience in natural form. She personally preferred those that were gentle with her own animal features than those that were not. "The note?" Tahki looked up. Ullers face was turning red but Tahki was so bad at reading people she chopped it up to mostly holding in a sneeze or something. "Yeah I got it. Thats why I'm here. I would love to go if you wanna. " She smiled, "I need to change out of my pajamas but... yeah I'd like to go."

A sneeze. If she asked about it, he'd agree. He wouldn't say why he was getting nervous about asking her face to face. He shouldn't have really asked if he didn't want to get embarrassed, he knew, but Uller couldn't help it. Sometimes he couldn't stand the silence. He watched her with the Quizzle and smiled lightly at it, looking down to Tahki again he reached out and patted her head, hesitantly. He hadn't done that before. However, like two pats in he pulled his hand back and cleared his throat. "Yes. I want to go... I was.. thinking we could try a hot spring. See how it is to see if we need.... to go into the colder ones." He was a wimp when it came to heat, but he wanted to see how hot it was. Part of him wanted to see how Tahki could handle the heat, but the male part of him just wanted to see her in a bathing suit. He shouldn't be thinking like that, but there it was. He was a guy.

He was petting her. Tahki stiffened a little, not because she didn't like it, but because it was unexpected. As quickly as she stiffened, the gryphon relaxed and closed her eyes and smiled. There may or may not have been a small purr sound coming from her throat. As quickly as Uller had reached out he had taken his hand back. Tahki opened her eyes and looked back up. "Hot and cold?" Now her mind was on a new thing. She'd been to the hot springs once before by her self where she'd run in to King. But, it seemed like Uller was having fun telling her about the place. Why spoil the fun by telling him she'd been once before. She played dumb instead. "Well that sounds great! Uh... did you want to go now or did you want to wait a while?" She scratched her bed head hair.

He had noticed her stiffen at first and then relax. But he didn't want to risk it. That's why the took his hand from her head. Clearing his throat, he shrugged and shifted to put the Quizzle on the floor. "We could go after you wake up a bit and get something to eat," he offered, looking unsure. Honestly, he didn't have a set time in mind. He watched as the Quizzle bounded to pile in with Snow and Blizzard, smiling a little more before sighing. "Or we could go this evening... I'm fine with whichever.."

The gryphon considered for a moment. Go later in the evening or now? She hadn't showered yet but she wouldn't need to if they went now. If they ate they'd need to wait at least half an hour more before they could go. Going now as winning. "Alright. How about we just go now then?" The equation had been formed in her head and that seemed to be the most logical answer. "I need to go change but that won't take me long. You don't mind if my hairs messy do you?" The gryphon sounded a little unsure about her self with that last statement.

Would he mind if her hair was messy? "No... Depending on certain things, our hair is bound to get messier anyway, along with being wet." He shrugged and watched the ghoul with a little expression that was partially amused and confused. "I'll wait here while you go change. You... You don't have to worry about towels," he said after a moment, looking to the pile he had himself. "I will get them..." He was excited. She said yes to the springs and the fact they were going now was even better. His little tail was just wagging away behind him, obviously pleased with the way things were going for him today. It was a lucky day, he felt. Even his ears perked up to rest against his horns on his head. It didn't happen that often, but when it did, it meant he was happy.

"Well then g-good!" A curt nod was given, "I better go and put a bathing suit on than. I'll be back in five minutes." Tahki got up, slowly so not to disturb the quizzle to much, and waltzed on to the door letting her self out. Roughly five minutes later the ghoul was knocking at Ullers door. She was too polite to just go and open it again with out asking. What if Uller was in the middle of putting swim trunks on? She'd see his.... Her faces was red just thinking about that. "Uller..?" She knocked once more. Tahki had managed to put on a bikini. All blue and white with a clearish silk wrap that hung around her waste loosely. She also had a few towels hanging off of her arm. The gryphon was ready.

He didn't need a full five minutes to put on his swim trunks. He put them on with a muscle shirt over his top, not that he had many muscles. He was more lean than muscular. Either way, when she came back, he was putting up his hair and he looked towards the door. He had a rubber band in his mouth and a hand full of hair. "Open," he said, a little muffled. His back eyes watched the door, waiting to see what she would wear. Ah, he honestly didn't know what kind of swim suit she wore. His hair was being a pain in his backside today, because he had just washed it last night, which mean it was silky smooth and not wanting to go up. "Sorry, I have my hands full," he said, again, muffled by the rubber band between his teeth.

Tahki opened the door and this time slammed it (not on purpose). The slam caused her to jump a little and had her tail puff out ever so slightly. Tahkis wings were also no longer folded neatly on her back but stretched out in weird tense ways. She'd also clenched her teeth in the process of it all. Slowly the gryphon relaxed. "S-sorry. Didn't realize that these doors are so sensitive. Uh... " Uller was putting his hair up. Tahki all of a sudden felt like maybe she should do the same. Maybe. Nah. Her hair was a mess but, like Uller had said, it wouldn't matter much soon any ways.
