59 - [video/action]

[blackshadow]

[ Right now, there's no-one who looks more relaxed than Tyr. His hair is dripping a little as he leans over the edge of the hot spring to use his device. ]

If the City keeps doing this, I'm going to start thinking the deities actually like me... Next year, you can give me cake again, too.


[ ooc: Open for action in either the men's or co-ed hot springs! Or just around. ]

[Rita is lazily hanging out next to him, her neck resting on a rock on the edge, body wrapped in a towel, her hair up in a little clip. She might have preferred to stick to the women's bath normally, but she'd rather hang out with Tyr (birthday or not) and nobody's done anything weird, anyway. She's pretty relaxed now, and just opens her eyes halfway as she smiles over.]

They're weirdly generous on your birthday. Not that I'm complaining.

[blackshadow]

[ If people were being weird, Tyr would have something to say about it, but so far, no-one's come to rain on their parade. He just feels so relaxed, and even more happy since Rita's staying with him. He left his bandana folded with the rest of his clothes, but he has a towel wrapped around his waist. ]

Maybe you'll get something nice for yours, too.

[negativegate]

I don't need a curse for that.

[Maybe she's being cheeky, but she doesn't care. She just grins. This curse had pretty amazing timing--even Rita couldn't have come up with a better gift for Tyr.

...Which would almost make her annoyed if they weren't so relaxed and happy now. Anyway, she's saving her gifts for later.]

[blackshadow]

[ He laughs a bit at that. He thinks Rita should get some cake rain on her birthday... But he fully intends to make her next birthday amazing. ]

You're setting the bar pretty high for me saying that.

[negativegate]

[Cake rain is always amazing! And she fully believes that Tyr would do something great himself. He always does.]

No way. If I wanted I wanted to set it high, I could tell you to beat this.

[And she lifts her hand out the water with a light ripple and lazily waves it around to indicate the springs.]

[blackshadow]

[ He really has to admire the springs again; they're pretty amazing. (And don't need cake raining into them.) ]

I could try to beat this if you have a request.

[ Maybe...he likes a challenge. ]

[negativegate]

[Sooo relaxing. Rita figures Tyr's playing around, so she has no problem using this curse as her inspiration, grinning at him.]

Hmm...Maybe a whole bath like this, all to ourselves. That would beat it.

[blackshadow]

[ He grins back, and oh, he could really like this idea... It'd be just like home! ]

Then I'll make it for you.

[negativegate]

[And Rita realizes that he's going along with this pretty easily...]

--Wait, you really will?

[blackshadow]

It sounds like it'd be really nice. I'm getting pretty tired of always having those little baths...

[negativegate]

Seriously? I was just...I mean, this is really amazing-

--You think you can do something like this?

[She doesn't doubt him at all; she's just a little surprised!]

[blackshadow]

Why not? Maybe not exactly like this, but... Something like I had back home.

[ He's set on it now anyway. Look what you've done, Rita. ]

[negativegate]

[Once she's over her surprise, she'll be pretty excited.]

You had something fancy back home? What was it?

[blackshadow]

It wasn't anything that fancy. It was just a normal bath instead of a tiny one.

[ Clearly just like what Rita had back home, right? ]

[negativegate]

What do you mean, normal? We have a normal bath at the house.

[Back home, Rita probably just had a little stall shower or something-!]

[blackshadow]

That thing is normal? I'm talking about something like this, where you can stretch your legs out and let a few other people join you...

[ The same one to clean off chemical spills?! ]

[negativegate]

What? No way is something like this normal in my world.

[PROBABLY JUST LIKE THAT YES njaksd]

[vesperian]

Come on- enjoy the water. Get off that thing.

[grins!]

[blackshadow]

Really? So you...really share something that little?

[ And this is why Rita isn't good about bathing! ]

action | men's

[blackshadow]

[ Okay, Yuri convinced him! Tyr turns off the device and slides it away from the edge again. ]

I wasn't planning to stay on it, you know.

action | men's

[vesperian]

Uh huh. I've seen people lose themselves just checking the network and talking to people. When you have a curse like this, though, it should be enjoyed.

[negativegate]

I lived alone, remember? Besides, you wouldn't all bathe at once in a normal bath.

[Hahaha, yes! Clearly she'd be a lot more hygienic with a bigger bath!]

action | men's

[blackshadow]

You don't have to tell me that... [ Totally not like he's done that before. No. ] Besides, the best part of being in here is just relaxing...

[ But he still wades closer over to Yuri. ]

[blackshadow]

Well, normally it was just a few guys at once, but...

And besides, you were travelling before, so you had to bathe somewhere.

[ Clearly! It's not like she'd just ignore it... ]

action | men's

[vesperian]

I can't tell you the last time I've relaxed like this.

[Yuri has his hair up in a ponytail to keep it from getting too wet. He sinks lower into the water, eyes closed.]
