Firestone Hot Springs chimes

Time for some skinny dipping ^_^

The scent rising from the pools was almost acidic. As damp as it was, it still burnt Atreyu's nose as he breathed it in. He pulled away with a slight snort, eyes still locked onto the steaming surface of the water with fascination. He had never encountered such a thing! Turning to inspect the other pools, the boy suddenly realised he was not alone. He gave a soft bark in fright as he was met with the sight of a pair of red eyes peering out at him from amongst the steam that hung about the area. The white-furred head the eyes belonged to then greeted him, yet Atreyu didn't acknowledge the stranger quite yet, surprised as he was to find another resting in the pools.

Heart thrumming, the boy studied the pool she was laying in, her body seemingly submerged in the water with her head propped up on a rock. Watching him. Had she been watching him this entire time? With a slight frown, Atreyu quickly stepped off the rock he had been perching on, moving to a wider one before fixing a narrowed stare upon the girl once more. He couldn't help but meet her own gaze, having never happened upon a wolf with blood-coloured eyes. What was she, part demon? "How long have you been there for?" he demanded. And why hadn't he been able to smell her?
