Big Caliente Hot Springs was located in Yuflam a small town about fifty clicks west from Resembool. The hot springs were unique as they were nestled in between gigantic boulders left behind by an ancient volcanic eruption. It was the town’s best kept secret as they wanted to preserve the area as intact as possible.

“Ah-this great!” Darius exclaimed as he immersed neck deep into the water.

“Told ya,” Greed goaded, flashing his serrated teeth as he rested his back against a large rock.

“Not bad,” Heinkel contributed to the conversation.

“Hey, Shorty!” Greed called out to Edward who was sitting on a boulder near the pool they were soaking in. “Aren't you going to join us?”

Edward looks down at the men. “No, thanks.”

Greed grinned. “Scared that you'll drown?”

Edward frowned. “I don't want to go into the water and sit with a bunch of pervs.”

Darius threw an angry fist in the air. “Who are you calling a perv?”

Edward's offered his companions a flat stare. “You guys are letting it all hang loose inside the pool.”

Darius growled. “Clothing is optional, idiot!”

“Who in their right mind would jump into a hot spring fully clothed?” Greed added.

Edward crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Well I don't like the idea of being inside a pool surrounded by naked men-with hot water touching everywhere, making firm bodies hot and-”

“Thank you for ruining the moment, Ed,” Heinkel spat, his face flushed and quite angry.

Edward followed the chimera with his eyes as the man got out of the pool, walking back to their campsite. He returned his attention to his other companions once Heinkel was out of sight.

“Tough luck, shrimp,” Darius chided, “I’m pretty comfortable with my sexuality.”

“Good for you!” Edward congratulated the chimera. He paused for a moment, and smirked before saying, “I didn't know you liked soaking with minors.”

Darius scowled. “What the hell?”

Edward offered him an impish smile. “Greed over there is fifteen.”

The homunculus, who had been minding his own business all this time, flashed his purple eyes at Edward. “I'm older than everyone here, asshole!”

Edward apologized, feigning ignorance. “You're right, Greed, but the body you claimed belongs to a teenager.”

Greed’s face went blank for a moment; most likely he had turned inwards to speak with Ling.

“Motherfucker…” He mumbled.

Edward smirked. “Told you.” He then looked at Darius, whose face had ashen, and grinned.

Both men jumped out of the pool and headed back to the campsite.

Edward patiently waited for his companions to disappear from sight. He stripped down to nothing minutes after.

Edward jumped off the boulder and entered the thermal pool.

“Ah-!" He exhaled as he leaned against the rock Greed had been resting on. “This is amazing…” He hummed in utter delight.

Edward lowered himself down into the water until his nose hovered over the surface. A triumphant smile spread across his face; he had outwitted his travel companions.
