Roy has approached the Hot Springs around the evening and decided to take a bath there. He was spending the time with eating two sandwiches and leaning against a tree since he wanted to wait for the sun to set before he goes bathing. He thought the whole atmosphere would be way nicer in the dark than in daylight. After finishing eating the sun was still not close to setting so he had to decide either to continue traveling to the next village or not.
In the end he decided to travel on, since he can totally not stand it to wait without having anything to do, so he rather walked. The sun already started setting when Roy came close to the nearest beach, thats when a thought hit him. "It's not Valentines-Day today... is it?" Sadly, Roy was right and after he climbed the last hill to get a view of the beach is was not hard to see some couples resting under the stars all over the beach, and probably all of them thought that nobody was at the beach except for their own person and their lover. "Just my luck." He sighed.
He definitely didn't want to go into a village that was filled with couples all over the place. It wasn't that he disliked Valentines-Day, or the people that have found their love. Because of him being a single it just made him think about too much stuff that he rather didn't want to think about.
So after some pondering Roy decided to go back to the Hot Springs and spend the night over there, since he will definitely won't meet any couples out in the open. Jogging some parts of the distance it wasn't even that much later after the sun has completely set. "At least I haven't spent the time waiting." he said laughing out loud and started to make himself comfortable with placing all of his stuff next to a tree.
After undressing himself he approached the Hot Springs and slowly entered the fuming water before the cooling air made him shiver. "Thats some good way to relax..." he sighed when he leaned his back at a stone and completely forgot all of the bothersome thoughts that were going through his head, during his way back, because of that certain date today.

Iku still had some of the effect of what ever she got from earlier with Kida at the Wyer. She felt she needed to be alone. A hot bath sounded just perfect. Iku was a little nervous, about getting in. She pulled out her hair from the pony tail letting her hair fall down. A little nervous about getting undressed here in the open she hesitated. She thought she heard a splash but with all the steam in the air she couldn't tell. Maybe it was a frog? Iku quickly got in. hoping no one would see her. She then let her body sink into the water. It felt so good.
Iku's body was relaxed as could be. When suddenly she heard a voice. Raising her eyebrow she looked around. 'please let me be hearing thing' She prayed in her head. Afraid she was right that there was someone else there. Iku then started to walk on her knees that. Suddenly she noticed there was a head. Squinting her eyes she couldn't see. She continued to get closer when suddenly! She noticed it was Roy!?!?!?!? Iku let out a scream! She raced back to her clothes but they were no where to be found.
She was screwed. Iku quickly ducked back down into the water covering herself with her arms as much as possible. The water was up to her lips. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!" She yelled

Roy let his mind totally vanish from the world when he rested in the Hot Springs. His mind was somewhere, flying, getting away from his troubles. To a better world in his fantasies. But even there he couldn't escape from his love issues for too long, because in any world, no matter if made up or the real one, there still has to be women, which reminded him of Valentines-Day again.
'Screw it..' He thought annoyed as he opened his eyes again and let his head sinking into the water so that his ears were covered with the water. 'Some kind of open field, maybe?' He thought, trying to make up another place in his thoughts where he could escape to. So while he was roaming through the memories of his travels he didn't know that somebody has been approaching the Hot Springs. And obviously, he didn't hear anything too with the water in his ears.
Until a sudden scream his whole body jump within a second. "WHA-?!" Due to the shock he slipped off the rock he was leaning onto and his head went under the surface. Quickly he pushed himself up again and gasped for air, coughing out some water that entered his lungs. Before he could take a look around or even think about what just happened he only heard a yell, coming from a person that was sitting in the water at the other end of the Hot Spring.
"What the hell-?" He said again, since last time his head went to do a diving tour. After some coughing he looked at the person. Due to the light he couldn't see who it was, but he was aware of two things. Firstly, that voice was familiar to him and secondly, it was a female.
The heat was rising up inside of his body, even though he was already sweating because of the water. Luckily it was impossible to look directly into the water, because it was night. Still, he didn't dare to move. "Umm.. hello?" He asked unsure. "Now thats quite unexpected..heh." Nervously he tried to think of something else to say, but it was hard to think of anything at all. "I.. I didn't try to peep at you if you think I did, actually I thought I was alone in here!" he defended himself, still not aware of who he was actually talking to.

Iku was not convinced. Knowing him, he probably planned it. And if he didn't he was probably thinking it. Iku glared at him. It was then she spotted her clothes. Which was on the other side of the hot springs. Great... Iku wasn't about to stand up and walk to get her clothes. She was thankful though thankful for bringing a towel along with her clothes.
"I dont believe a single word!" She yelled. Great now he was looking and looking hard. Iku found herself in a tangle. She thought she would be alone. But no of course not. not on valentines day! Of all days! "Turn around or else!" She demanded. She wasn't about to be seen naked by the lights of him.

Roy didn't feel comfortable at all. It was obvious that she, whoever it was, would react like this. Because of him being a male, he would never have a chance to prove himself being innocent in a situation like this, thats a fact. And that girl might be some heavy feminist on top of that too. Meaning, Roy was screwed anyway.
"Of course you don't believe it, because-!" Roy said, but didn't even know how to state the reasons that have been roaming through his head. "It's all about prejudices!" he finished his sentence muttering, while he was hiding himself as much as possible.
After the girl made her demands Roy turned around immediately. "Okay, okay" He said quickly in case she wasn't seeing him. "There! Everything is fine." He said as he stared at the rock in front of him. Did she even think about him in such a situation? It's not like Roy really wants some random girl seeing him like that. But if he said that out loud it wouldn't make any sense to her at all.
"I'm sorry, okay?" He said, when she was most likely about to climb out of the water. Giving it a second thought, Roy was wondering though why he did run into her like this, especially on Valentine's Day...

Iku didn't care about a single thing that came out of his mouth. She just wanted him to turn around. She didn't want him to see her in all over her nakedness. She barely liked being naked infront of Tyr, let alone Roy. The second he turned around Iku then ran to the other side of the hot springs. Iku kept and eye on him. Making sure that he wasn't looking. She grabbed her towel wiping herself off, and quickly got into her shorts and button up shirt. She grumbled. This wasn't the best of days, and this had to happen.
Iku then let her hair drip dry as she glared back at Roy. Who was trying to apologize. She left her feet in the water. Seems it felt so heavenly she couldn't allow herself to leave just yet. "You can turn around now" She said with an unhappy expression on her face.
Iku's day could have been much better. All she wanted was some peace and quiet. Some time to herself. After being so lovey dovey earlier this day. She wanted to be alone yet, Roy just had to be in the same spot as her.

When she gave him the command to turn around, he was thinking if it wouldn't be better for him to better get his own clothes as fast as possible, but he didn't see a reason why he should stop his bath now, after all the girl left it without complaining... the kind of complaining that she wants to stay in the water.
Roy was felt safe, since it was almost impossible to look through the water surface, so he turned around a got a little closer towards the girl. After all he still wanted to talk to her. Who knows? Maybe fate was nice to him at a time like this.
He approached the girl who was sitting at the edge now with her feet in the water. "So, what exactly bring you at a place like this on such a day?" He started like it would be a normal conversation without its creepy beginning. That was when a cloud was revealing a bit more of the moon and revealed part of the face of the black haired beauty, which let straight to a reaction. "WHAT THE HELL? IKU?!" He blurted out when his fantasies of fate being nice crashed within a second.

Iku then looked at Roy who seemed to be shocked that it was her. You mean he didn't know? this whole time she thought he was stalking her. She glared at him as he figured out it was her. She didn't say anything as she dried her hair with the towel. He had the look on his face as if he was disappointed or something. psh, the perv, why she bet that he was glaring at the water to get a look at her body. "What" She said finally done with her hair. Letting it fall down completely. She really didn't want to leave because of how nice it would've been to relax for once. By herself of all things it would've been peaceful. The water felt relaxing, But the pair of eyes that were on her was not.
She knew she wouldn't have been able to relax, if he was there. better to know ahead of time that someone else was in the water and to maybe see you naked.

Roy had to watch Iku drying her hair and didn't say anything while doing so. He could only wait in the water. He did, patiently, after all he wasn't the one who could be freezing. From all the people he could have met, how did he end up with Iku? He knew that he was happy to even get out of this alive without being roasted by one of her lightnings while he still was in the water. Also he knew that Iku would never believe a guy who wanted to explain that he did not want to peep at all. Therefore he didn't even have to try.
But next to that, why was she here? Its Valentines-Day, shouldn't she be with Tyr or something like that? After he only got one word as a reply he had to come up with something on his own again. He leaned against a rock again so that he could still see Iku and talk to her. "So how on earth did you end up here?" He asked, since this was the only question to him that currently came to his mind.

Iku scowled as now he was asking her a whole bunch of questions. She was looking for some peace and quiet. Was that so much to ask for these days? It wasn't often that it happend, Usually Iku was running around doing this and that! You'd think it would be quiet living on top of a cave way up on the top of the tallest mountain, when in fact this time of year was the worst. It was about the beginning of spring, Most of the dragons around this time, Fight for mates or mate. Then suddenly there are eggs everywhere. She could see the madness beginning already and spring has only just begun. "I was looking for some peace and quiet" She said.
"What are you doing here" She said keeping her legs in the water. The water was nice and warm and made some of her worries just disappear. Oh how she wanted to just dive in but she couldn't. He was here, and she refused to be naked in the same water as him.

Roy rested in the water, still leaning to the rock which gave them a comfortable distance to talk to each other. Somehow Roy know what she was going to answer, but on the other hand he was also wondering why she wasn't with Tyr. Thats what Valentines Day is for after all. But who knows what she might have on her mind that shes looking for some peace.
"Yeah, for me its pretty much the same reason." He said while looking at her, didn't ask anything about Tyr though, because he was aware of her temper. He felt quite sorry for her when he noticed how she stared into the water. He wouldn't feel well either if he was looking forward to a nice bath and then something like this would be happening.
He scratched his head and was thinking of the right words. "Well, that Hot Spring is big enough, it would be no problem to share it with a comfortable distance." He explained but added quickly. "Even though this would kill the conversation somehow. Screaming at each other due to the distance wouldn't be that relaxing at all." Of course they both could just lean at different sides of a rock, but he didn't dare to say that out loud, since he knows that she would never agree to that.
"Eh, what I actually wanted to say is that we sure can switch after a little while." He finally finished, knowing that his actual thought of making Iku feel comfortable around here was probably not reaching her at all.

Iku splashed the water slightly with her feet. While looking at Roy. He was trying so hard. And for what? A peek? Was he hoping that Iku would give him something. I think not. Iku just shook her head. "No, its fine" She said. Even if there was another hot spring she wasn't going to get in. It wasn't the sharing that bothered her. It was his eyes landing on her, while she has nothing to protect herself. There truly is no limit to the eyes. Even if he was a few feet away, whose to say he didn't have binoculars. Or just plain good eye sight.
Iku would rather die instead of getting in with him. Iku was enjoying it as much as she could. And she was fine with that. She would rather be only half in then having the chance of him seeing her naked... again....

Roy sighed at the short answer he received from her, after he was only trying to make it comfortable to both of them. And Roy could tell that she could need something to cheer her up, if that was not the case, then she wouln't be here, right?
But he could totally tell that she was most likely not believing any of his words and thought that he was only using this chance to please himself or something. Thats the pessimist that he has met back then in the forest... concerning guys at least.
Of course Iku was quite a beauty and her shining, long black hair only added up to that. But Roy knew that she is together with Tyr, thats already enough for him to know that he doesn't even has to try anything. He also had to learn in the past that males and females can be only friends if they wished for that.
No matter how much he though about it, there is no way that he could blame her. Its her privacy after all. "So.. is there something bothering you? There is always a reason why people want to be alone." He asked her and shrugged his shoulders. He was hoping to start a conversation somehow, or otherwise this would be even more awkward.

Iku sighed as her stare remained on the water. "Well, everyone wants to be alone every once and a while roy" She said in a rather calm voice. She would find it very hard that he never wanted to be alone. Very hard in fact. It was of a natural thing to want to be alone. If you're around someone too much you begin to feel frustrated with each other annoyed. One of the reason happy couples fight so often. Or at least that's what she believed. It didn't mean they didn't love each other, Everyone needs their space.
Without even having a second to calm down suddenly Iku saw a green blur fly past her with a "Kyuuuuuuuu~" That meant it could be one person. The Green fire lizard than popped its head above the water chirping as she began to play in the water. Iku then let out a chuckle as she watched the little one play.

Roy shook his head in the shadows. 'Of course it is like that... but I asked for the reasons..' He thought to himself, as he let out a sigh. It was easy for him to see that she didn't really want to talk to him, just because she was avoiding the question he asked. Probably because its something personal thats bothering her? Or maybe she didn't know how to start? Or maybe it was just because of Roy himself, who was often feeling like a burden when somebody wasn't open up to him. Especially when he knew the person already.
He decided that it would be best just to leave her be and not continue trying to get through to her. If she doesn't want to, then there is no way to get her into a conversation.
Sinking a little bit more into the water, he watched the little lizard that appeared while his mouth was under the surface again.
