Bathing in Holy Water [Dominik]

The blond man chuckled as he saw his acquaintance's somewhat concerned expression as his head broke the surface of the warm water. Well now, he wasn't going to let a little hot water take him from this world. After shaking the water from his head, he perked his ears toward her. Interesting, it seemed she had an idea as to how these waters had been warmed. Dominik himself had no idea about it, and though he'd heard of volcanoes, also termed as fire mountains, he had never seen one himself. But, his acquaintance seemed pretty smart, so he would nod, listening curiously. Then she mentioned that her pack would love it if they could find something similar to these warm pools closer to their home. Hmm, now, did she mean her pack as in 'where she lived', or her pack as in her pack, belonging to her? Was he speaking to an Alpha without even knowing it?

He didn't have to wonder long as the subject of their conversation began to shift, and she offered some information. That she had been a wanderer for most of her life, just like he was. Yet, she had finally decided to settle down a bit, forming her own pack. So, she was an Alpha! "Perhaps I should come snoop around some time just to say hi," he said with a laugh, although he wasn't too sure about the idea of having somewhere permanent to call home. Ah, not like he had to really worry about it right now, anyways. Just because she had a pack and a place to call home, didn't mean he needed to follow suit. After all, he'd been on his own for years, why was that to change right now upon one simple meeting? But, he didn't mind the idea of having friends, so maybe it would be nice to see her home one day.

He continued to listen with interest as she stated her pack was largely based on trade with other packs, so she'd still get to wander quite a bit. Yet, at the end of the day, she'd still have somewhere to return to. Well, that didn't sound all bad. "Sounds like you've got a good thing going for you," he commented with a nod of his head. But, he was more interested to hear about her travels - had she been to far away places? Did she know all of these lands like the back of her paw? "So, you say you've wandered quite a bit, before now," he spoke, ears twitching as the steam seemed to add weight to them, "What's the craziest place you've ever been to?" He'd have to dig around in his own mind to remember the strange things he'd seen in his lone wanderings. But he was curious to know what strange landmarks resided on this continent, as it would surely differ from what he'd seen in his lifetime.
