The Midnight Train to Nowhere

There was a lot of drama that happened after his little speech, and Numair pretty much blocked those out. He didn’t need to see crying people (were there any?) or whatever since touchy feely stuff wasn’t his thing, to be perfectly honest. The threats Riley and Ace gave though… The surfer just couldn’t help but roll his eyes. How cute. “Yeah, yeah, I got it. You’ll castrate me and burn down our house. Keep ‘em piling, I guess,” He quipped lightly and ignored the redhead’s comments about their deal. Yep, this one should be kept away from Gary. Numair kept a thinly-veiled smile on as he picked on the baguette on his plate as the conversations continued. In fact, he almost missed seeing Ace extend her hand as some sort of gesture of goodwill, and hastily leaned forward to meet her halfway in case she decided to retract the Lost Souls’ offer.

“Betrayal’s not good. Got it,” He duly replied then glanced around. Huh, these batch of humans were more reasonable (and hostile) than he thought. Oh well, guess they didn’t want to turn into those mute bunny guards, huh?

“It’s better if we chill for a while. The next item’s in a place that’s….” Numair narrowed his eyes before continuing, “hectic. We’re going to lie low for a bit until the nobodies passing through the place have come and gone. Until then!” He stood up from his chair noisily and grabbed at random food until his plate was full. When he was finished, Numair sat down and lowered his head in a way that seemed to convey that he was done talking with anybody.

“Hey C, I’m going to eat in the kitchen, okay? Don’t worry, I’ll clean up,” Gary piped up from her place and gathered as much food as she could before running off to the hobbit hole before their leader could say otherwise.

Drych Lake Spa – Hot Springs

“Get down from there!” Lute’s voice came out raspy and filled with terror when Quentin all but elevated himself over the partition. Aria was going to throw a knife in his eye! Or maybe a loofah. Whatever, all that mattered was that they still had a nice view of dat-

“Oh will you stop it, Dellie!? I’m trying to enjoy myself here!” The virtuoso hissed as the water mage fell down into the springs, causing a considerable splash that caused some of the water to flow over the pool’s edges. Delilah very reasonably argued that they can both enjoy themselves if only a certain someone would stop trampling on the other’s parade, though her companion just rolled his eyes as he sat down again. He wasn’t going to allow his friends’ bodies to be visually molested, thank you very much.

“Oh, Lulu~”

Tobias called him over and Lute blushed. “Y-yeah, just gimme a sec. I’m not going until I haven’t rinsed!” He immediately began scrubbing his skin with a damp towel and completed the process with an efficient and measured amount of water, almost as if the virtuoso was trying to save the spa some cost. In the end, as Tobi happily swam around and Marcus and Q.T. were talking, Lute slipped in by the side.

Literally slipped in. With a loud “Waaagh!”, he fell, towel and all. Coincidentally, he fell in on a spot that Tobi had just swum past, so the marauder was near enough to check if Lute drowned himself or not. Before he could look, however, the virtuoso reappeared from the depths (preceded by a floating white towel) and immediately began paddling back to the shallower regions. “O-okay, really hot. Kinda painful!” What skin that could be seen of the white-haired man was already tinged a light pink, steadily climbing a higher shade of red the longer he stayed in the water.

Drych Lake Spa – Hot Springs

"It's fine, man. Yeah, strip. It's like taking a bath, and I'm sure you haven't made it this far in life having a bath with underclothes on all the time. Quentin, by the way. I don't think I caught your name."

Wait, wasn’t that going to hurt? From where he stood, the water didn’t look very … gentle. It wasn’t possible to get … burned, right? Before Lute could even address his brand new concerns, somebody called his name and he turned around to see one of their other companions- Tobias, was it? Unlike him, the other man was raring to jump into the springs; in fact, everyone had already changed out of their outfits and him standing around fully-clothed was starting to look strange.

“Wha-!?” Lute jumped in surprise when he felt something hit his bum. He could only watch in disbelief as the guilty party jumped gleefully into the spring, and the virtuoso turned back to his locker. As he was removing his shirt, Delilah let loose a piercing whistle and Lute got stuck. “T-that wasn’t me, I swear!” He shrieked and accidentally bumped against the wall as he struggled to get his shirt off. Good thing none of the guys paid much attention to it, perhaps attributing the noise to… well, whatever it was that could produce such a noise in this place. The virtuoso was far too busy making low key ‘dying whale’ sounds as he took off his clothes while hiding his face from sight; it was, after all, difficult not to get embarrassed when you were getting mental images of your nude companions repeatedly being flashed- and appreciated- by a spirit who lived in your head.

“D-don’t forget to rinse!” Lute skipped over to the open shower area and plopped down on the farthest stool. He opened the faucet and splashed his blushing face with the cool water. Delilah was cackling with maniacal glee when a scream- this time not caused by a perverted familiar- came in from... the other side of the building. The voice sounded strangely familiar too... The virtuoso stood up. Did anybody slip on a rock or something!?
