The man introduced himself as Hattori of Ashen. She could smell the Ashen scent upon him so she knew his words to be true. He continued, asking entry so that he might utilize the healing springs. In addition, he'd brought an offering to pay his way. Though she wouldn't stick the hooves in her own mouth, she thought that the pups might enjoy chewing on them. The woman dipped her head lightly and turned her attention to the side, seeking a familiar shape or two in the foliage. A moment later one of her two jackals came forward, took the bag between its teeth, and disappeared back into the trees. With a pull of her skull, the woman motioned for him to follow.

Her body was cold by now, all the heat of the water having run away with the chill of autumn. Water still dripped from her periodically, however. She was ready to get back into the spring and was glad that this order of business had gone quickly, smoothly, and without much ado. Silence was an easy thing for the one-eyed fae. If the man wished to make conversation, she would follow suit as necessary, but until then, she would enjoy the quiet.

Trees soon gave way to the open expanse of land that housed the bubbling springs. The little wooden fences between each pool gave it a strange, slightly ethereal feel. The steaming water helped to obscure any that already bathed within the various springs. With one wide paw, she motioned the man forward. "Soak for as long as you wish. This large pool is the warmest while the one on the far left seems to be the coolest." Ever a kind hostess, she gave him the layout of the temperatures. It wasn't considered poor etiquette to soak together, so if he wished to submerge himself within the hottest spring alongside her, he could do so. The ample space of the spring would keep it from being awkward.

Peeling herself from the man, Resin slid into the steaming water again. It was almost painfully hot against her cold, damn flesh, but she made no complaints. In time, her body would adjust to its heat again.
