Cara had been quite insistent on where class was being held today. Which was why they had been told to meet at the Onsen. Where Cara was already in the tub.

Look, there'd been a lot of physical labour yesterday.

"Cannon ball!" Magnus was a menace who needed to be stopped, but this was the life chosen by everyone around him. This right here. Unless he whiffed this dex roll. Or Cara clothes-lined him. One was more likely than the other.

Especially given Cara had form when it came to people interrupting her baths. "Magnus, no," she said flatly, probably too late to do any good.

"...but it's pool time," Magnus whined, coming up short of the Onsen and giving both it and her a sad, sad look.

"It's a bath, not a pool," Cara said, in the voice of someone who was mentally blocking out time for a class on the beach now.

"Fine," Magnus sighed like the mature teacher he was. "Today we're learning about taking hot baths and getting massages to relax after a hard day of work. Where you can't do any cannon-balls."

But you could get ducked under water if you annoyed a cranky Mord'Sith enough. "Beyond the considerations of hygiene, which I would hope I don't have to explain to you." Even if some of them were teenage boys. Or Magnus. "These kind of communal baths enable relaxation and socialisation. " And hookups, but that wasn't this class.

That class would end in tears, to he quite honest.

"And we got bathing suits for you all just in case," Magnus added. "No stats on them, though."

Not even a +5 to hotness. Or embarrassment, since teenagers.

Or look at the ceiling, that is also a choice.

A very good choice as far as Theron was concerned. The best choice, actually.

As someone who had been yelled at for swimming in the Onsen numerous times and now knew better (most of the time), Sidon's look when Magnus received his scolding was...a bit sanctimonious, yes.

He still had his issues with the swimwear rules in place, too, but he would try not to grumble about it too much.

After getting changed into your totally fashionable swimsuits.

If it involved water, more than likely, Sidon would be incredibly pleased to be participating in it. This was no exception, as he sighed happily and closed his eyes, sinking down into the water, enjoying being part of his best element.

...and maybe falling asleep a little. Hey, he couldn't help it if it maybe reminded him a little bit of the communal sleeping pond back home, even with the swimwear.

"...What are these?" Uma asked, holding up the flimsy bits of fabric that seemed pretty useless for much of anything, really.

Look, when they'd been told to meet at the onsen, Yang had grabbed her own swimsuit and brought it along, just in case.

Don't worry, Theron, it was a relatively modest one-piece. No need to try and stare at the ceiling all class period.

But damn, the hot water was niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Oh, no, Yang, given that Theron's onsen provided swimwear turned out to be technicolour booty shorts it wasn't anyone else's swimwear that was the problem now.

Yang grinned and threw him a wink. "Nice one, Shan," she said, leaning back and shutting her eyes. "Bold choice."

One day, smart comments from a pretty blonde while he was in a state of undress was just going to lead to snarking right back about who kept hogging the refresher, but today it just led to Theron scrambling into the water quickly enough to almost accidentally cannonball.

And/or get a massage for those tired and aching muscles.

And this would be a good time for Sidon to discover that he was actually quite a bit ticklish right along all of his side gills. But once the masseuse figured out exactly to maneuver so that there wasn't a giant fish person squirming and giggling on the table, it was an incredible experience. Sidon vowed to do this more often, and he certainly hoped they would accept rupees for tips.

One of whom is in a surprisingly cheerful mood.
