Hot Springs and Ryokan

[battymynameis]

Guess what, y'all. It's time for a field trip. We're heading to a Hot Springs and an Inn for the weekend, and everyone is invited. This place is huge, and has multiple springs both indoor and out. There's separate bathing, mixed, and even a spot for foreigners and prudes who like to keep their swimsuits on. Table tennis? Got it. Room service? You bet. Massages? Possibly. Ghosts? Maybe.

1. Hot springs: after you rinse off come take a relaxing bath. There are multiple options as to what kind of bathing environment you can have, so please choose wisely. Also, please read the signs. None of the springs will kill you, but if you choose the wrong one you might end up with some... adverse effects. Cursed springs might just be a Thing.

2. The Inn: you'll be here for a few nights so find your rooming buddy and get friendly. Whether bonding over food, games, or even just exploring the place there's certainly something you can find to occupy yourself. Just don't be too curious after curfew. The staff are pretty insistent, but they aren't cops so responsibility for your actions are your own.

Ahah... [ If he were being honest? Ridiculously honest (thanks springs)? ] He always means well, even if he can be a bit too 'by the books' about things. Always stressing over the school budget.

[ Shirou doesn't sink into the water any deeper than he already has for the time being, adding onto the end of that, ]

You'd probably make him lose his cool. You and Tohsaka seem like the type that know how to push the right buttons. [ The way Shirou says it doesn't really seem like any kind of jab whatsoever, just sincerity. He should probably stop talking but he can't stop talking why can't he stop talking and saying what was on his mind that he would normally keep rooted very deep down? It's starting to occur to him that he just said something he normally wouldn't. ]

I mean... if you say so, but I'd have nothing to gain by making someone I don't know uncomfortable.

[Also is he comparing her to another girl? Hmph! If she was being used as a stand-in he should have said so earlier.]

[traceon]

Yeah, you're right.

[ Never! Their tsundere power levels were both off the charts sometimes, but,

Tohsaka was Tohsaka. And Chidori was Chidori. There was nobody quite like either one of them, individually. About half a minute passes by before he feels the compulsion to sink in a bit deeper, enough so that his arms are stretched out along the edge of the spring for support and his upper body is half-submerged, halfway up his chest.

A relieved sigh slips past his lips then. ]

[Kaname settles against the edge of the pool too. Just so she can relax against the wall and rest her eyes without anyone surprising her from behind. She doesn't feel like she has anything else to add to the conversation, but mostly because she's avoiding having one. Oddly enough she's been unable to refuse requests today, so she's not sure if she could handle hearing anymore.]
