Firestone Hot Springs i.iii : who was born in a house full of pain

Someone had been watching her. Laroche had hidden himself away behind her, grumpily watching as she soaked in the hot springs. He didn't want company today so he waited, hoping she would eventually crawl out and walk away allowing him some solace to soak. Unfortunately she didn't and he didn't want to leave either so after a while he slowly walked toward the pool, choosing the farthest section away he could manage and slipped in. The warmth enveloped him and he groaned, eyes closing briefly before he sank lower. The knowledge that she was there prevented him from fully relaxing however and he occasionally snuck a glance at her from the corners of his gaze.

Reply whenever!
