[New knowledge is always, definitely, worth sitting up for!! How relieving, that they've managed to find the key to moving past mutual embarrassment like this....(by mutually nerding out over hot springs, apparently, but look. If it works, it just works!)]
Hah, I don't know about strange...but it does sound kind of intense when you put it like that! ["Pushing the limits of relaxation" sounds like a self-contrast if he's ever heard of one, for sure, but the idea's earning a good-natured laugh.] I think I sort of get what you mean, too? Like, being able to see just how much you can relax...or something like that. May as well go full out while we can be here, right?
[A competition would probably even fall under that category too, to be fair....a breath-holding tournament would sure be a way to pass time in hot springs. Are hot springs games even a thing normally? Maybe they should be!! But anyway--]
First time...oh, being to one of these resort things, you mean? Yeah, definitely! I bet it's been kind of obvious... [As the earlier awkwardness is gradually eroded by the much less mortifying topics at hand now, 9S starts to wade his way over to Mash properly, until he's settling more beside her as opposed to hovering an embarrassed yard away. So they're at a more conversational distance, finally!] It seems like a lot of people here have done this before, or at least know what to do? You'd never have any luxuries like this back home, though... [He shrugs, water swirling around his shoulders, and then beams at her.] It's actually kind of nice to know I'm not the only one that's new to this after all! Do you think you've gotten the hang of it yet?
