fandomtownies | The Onsen; Friday Afternoon [03/23].

To say that the snow had left Sidon feeling rather crestfallen and a little betrayed felt like an understatement; he was so looking forward to warmer weather and less...invigorating swims, but, considering his entire Domain was built around dams and containing frequently flooding rivers and lakes, he knew that man simply could not control the weather. Ever the optimist, he tried to think of how turn this disheartening snowfall into something better.

Perhaps, he realized, it was finally time for him to check out that Onsen he'd read about in his looking into the town, especially as he did rather enjoy the jacuzzis during their trip to China. So he bundled himself up in his fluffy pink coat and went on a trek, rather wishing he'd had a pair of snow shoes or skis like he'd had on their snowy school trip. As much as he wasn't a fan of the snow in a broader capacity, it was rather beautiful when it was falling like this and blanketing the world in this new white landscape. Flushed and chilly and feeling wistful, he was ready to soak in some nice warm water.

There was one slight catch he hadn't expected, however...

"Bathing suits required?" he asked, a bit shocked and perhaps even offended at the suggestion when they told him at the desk. "But I don't even wear clothes!"

Still, he was a guest in this land, and so, after some awkwardness and debate and a quick trip for a thankfully soon-to-be-in-season-thus-becoming-available-it, there was Sidon feeling uncomfortable in a hastily modified pair of swimming trunks, finally getting the reward of sinking down into the refreshing warm waters and breathing out a sigh of relief.

What a shame he'd waited so long to explore this offering of the town's! Why, he could really feel at home here--

"No swimming!" came a shout from the entrance.

...well, almost at home.
