[ HE'S TRYING NOT TO... hopefully she doesn't look when he turns his back to her and makes a space on the waistband of his shorts to let cool water get to his ... other areas and thighs anyway. sweats.
It's a relief to get all that off him anyway. ]
I'm done whenever you're ready. [ He only turns back then, of course. ]
[ she puts the robe on and grabs the towel she was wearing earlier so she can put her hair in it. she'd really rather not have water dripping from her hair as they walk around. ]
This feels so good. I wonder if there's, like, a place where we can go swimming.
[ Probably would have been better for her to try and get it all into a bun really but it's okay... she'll be okay dskgjn ]
It's a spa, you might need to go to a sports centre for that. [ But even if he's half laughing, he's fond as his hand reaches for hers, squeezing gently. ]
When I can just set anything on fire? [ A beat follows. ] I just don't understand the logic that you have to be strong with a sword to be considered strong.
[ He may be thinking of Arthur's attitude when he says that, mouth twisting until it almost looks like a pout.
Yeah. ] I can use a sword to defend myself and I've fared okay.
I've been working on it, okay? [ Okay, fuck the authorities. Hopefully she won't feel too embarrassed when he pulls her in by curling his arm around her shoulders then leaning to kiss her. ]
[ Well that's improved, though there are a few aliens staring as his mouth lingers for a bit longer to let her reply then he's kissing her again gently, nuzzling his nose against hers after. ]
It's okay. We can talk about it when we get back if you want. For now... [ He trails off stopping as they make it to the baths area. ] Let's try these?
[ The hot and cold baths are empty, but the Jacuzzi part has a few people here or there -- at least they're all in the same room. ]
[ That is more than okay with him, he pulls her into a half hug, grinning a bit. Though he tries shrugging off his robe then, hanging it on the hook that says '7' so he can find it again after. ]
Let's go? [ He ends that with a kiss to her temple. ]
