[Rean certainly looks him over with casual interest, observing but not staring. He's polite and he's mastered checking people out in the bath without being all creepy about it.

He's met some weird people but G'raha has to be one of the strangest.]

Yeah. Every chance I get. It's really refreshing. You can come here any time you feel like too, the indoor baths are also nice.

Relaxing in the heat with the snow is especially great at night, when the stars are out.

[crystallinelore]

[he does his best to remain unruffled at being checked out, no matter how cool Rean is about it.]

It seems... a soothing sort of thing, especially if one can get away with doing it often.

[awakenerd]

Like I said, you can come here any time. Ymir is a small town and especially when there aren't visitors the hot springs are rarely crowded.

[He stretches and relaxes back.]

I'll take you to my house after this, make you some tea and a snack. You're welcome to sleep over if you're tired too.

[crystallinelore]

You are being very kind. I may take you up on that.

[he shouldn't stray from the tower for long, but... a night, probably won't hurt.]

[awakenerd]

You don't strike me as a bad guy. And I don't know where else you'd go.

[The tower didn't look comfortable.]

[crystallinelore]

The tower is my home, Rean. All the same, your hospitality is appreciated.

[gently.]

[awakenerd]

Is it? I didn't see anywhere to sleep.

[crystallinelore]

And yet you found me sleeping.

That said, you absolutely did not explore the entire tower. It is far larger than it seems.

[awakenerd]

Really?

[He's not disbelieving it's just his interest is piqued.]

I'd live to see more.

[crystallinelore]

The parts you didn't see are likely still infested... I'll need to deal with that.

[awakenerd]

I can help.

[crystallinelore]

I wouldn't wish to risk you further.

[awakenerd]

Exploring dangerous unknown technology is basically what I do at this point.

[crystallinelore]

[eyeballs him for a few moments, notably.]

...A strange occupation.

[awakenerd]

[Scratching his cheek self-conciously.]

Well. I'm actually a teacher but that just kind of happens.

[crystallinelore]

One would think those at odds.

[awakenerd]

Really? I mean, I guess it would depend... I might live a slightly weird life. But it's never boring, and I've always got people to depend on. Besides, that tower isn't quite like anything I've encountered before.

[crystallinelore]

I should certainly hope you haven't encountered anything of the sort... The tower is enough trouble on its own, and I fear to imagine what could happen if its creators had traveled this far.

...Wherever this far is.

[awakenerd]

You're in Erebonia, near the Eisengard Range.

[crystallinelore]

I am afraid I'm from far enough afield that I've heard of neither.

[awakenerd]

... Where ARE you from?

[crystallinelore]

... The Source. Though it's fair if you don't know what I mean.

[awakenerd]

I'm afraid I don't.

[He sighs.]

Looks like we should get that tea abs have that talk.

[crystallinelore]

We should.

[even though this is warm and he would kind of like to... not that thing...]

[awakenerd]

[Hell helpfully get out first and call that the clothes are ready so rip.]
