The Onsen, Sunday Morning

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara had been feeling the effects of yesterday's battle when she'd woken this morning, and while she could have just ignored it and kept going without too much fuss, she saw no reason why she needed to when the Onsen was right there. She'd even managed to convince Kahlan and Richard to join her without too much resistance (mostly Richard's) on

Kahlan hadn't exactly been hard to convince largely because unlike some people, she still bathing in convenient, not particularly warm, lakes and streams, or a lukewarm tub if they were lucky enough to find an inn.

Plus, after all Cara's talk of proper baths she was curious to see what exactly she'd do in one, which so far seemed to be submerging herself as completely as possible.

Richard, meanwhile, was trying to decide whether to focus on Kahlan or the ceiling, since Cara had managed to leave a few crucial things out when she'd suggested this. When she came up for air he was going to mention that he would have been just fine talking through a screen of some sort.

Cara hadn't left them out on purpose, she'd just kind of managed to forget that Richard got all weird about this kind of thing, even when it was just a bath.

... so maybe it was a little accidentally on purpose. But again, it was just a bath.

Kahlan maybe thought this was a little hilarious in a way she wouldn't have when Cara first started travelling with them.

"You look comfortable." Three guesses which of them it was directed to.
