Tsug smiled as he made his way towards the bench across from the old Faerre. The elderly were often such jovial folk, and they always provided interesting conversation. The way they told their stories had a drifting feeling that reminded him of clouds on the breeze at most times. Settling onto the wooden seating of the bench, almost silky in texture due constant wear from other occupants, Tsug listened as the old Faerre began to speak. When the old Faerre was finished, Tsug did his best to recall what he knew of hot springs, and relayed them to him, making some conversation as he did so.
“The hot springs are indeed relaxing, though you may want to watch out for traps set up if you decide to go out into the pools later. I had quite an experience with one out there,” Tsug chuckled, “The calm atmosphere vanished in an instant! From what I’ve heard, bathing in the hot waters cleanses out multiple body systems, improving blood circulation, digestion, and resistance to both physical and mental illnesses. And also the obvious, it does great with soothing sore joints and muscles,” he added, stretching his forelegs a little to chase out some particularly persistent kinks.
Tsug sat half-dozing in the comfortable warmth for a few seconds and then continued.
“You should be careful if you stay in for a long amount of time though. Because of the heat, you sweat more than usual and have to drink more often to keep hydrated.”
