Eating didn't make her feel quite so unwell any more, and her stomach was glad to have whatever was offered. She wasn't gorging herself of course but a couple of weeks without eating clearly showed on her frame. She filled back out some and had more energy at her disposal and so that called for a trip to the baths. She ambled along the corridor, looking forward to submerging herself in the delightfully warm water-only to pause when she realised the baths were already occupied. By an old man no less.

It felt as though it had been forever since she had last seen Sirius and...he looked older than she remembered, flecks of grey around his muzzle but still just as strong as his title demanded.

"Mind if I join you?"  She asked, standing at the lip on the opposite side. It was more than big enough for the both of them but asking was the polite thing to do.

The Warlord would never admit it, but his body was littered with aches of a life lived without care to his body. His bones told the story of his life, of long patrols and hard battles. Sometimes it was good to get away from the cold and his busy life. To submerge himself beneath the warmth of the Armada hot pools until the heat smoothed away much of his pains.

At the sound of soft footfall on the cave floor he cracked open an eye, and found a koi-coloured wolf looking down at him. "Hanako" he rumbled softly, biting back a yawn as he scooted over a little. "Good, I planned to look for you later. Please do" he invited, waving a paw into the spot he had vacated. A Warlords life was a busy thing, so he was glad to run into her now and not risk forgetting the need to speak to her later. He waited until she had eased into the warm waters before speaking again. "I want you to know I'm appalled at they way you've been treated as a Diplomat. More then that... I'm horrifed at how easy it was for your absence to be explained away as travel time. For your safety, I'd like to go over ways to ensure your safety while your out in the field in my name" he said, his voice a soft rumble above the water, but the words were deadly serious.
