Firestone Hot Springs go down to the gallows at midnight

"Well.." she puffed up for a minute, then shook her head.  "You know what, no.  I'm not gonna even let you pretend I shoulda known or make me feel dumb, because that is not normal.  Who sees mist on water and thinks 'oh, wait, this might be stupid hot water, better not mess with it'!  Not normal!" She reiterated, pointing to the hot spring emphatically with her injured paw.  They didn't have any of those where she'd grown up, and she might feel dumb for not realizing, but she wasn't going to let on to him.

"It's fine, see?" She set it down..... oh no, immediate regret.  It burned like nothing she'd ever experienced... it was only a surface burn, but the pain was awful.  Way worse than a cut or a bruise.  She managed to hold an almost straight face for a minute or two, but then caved.  "Ughhh, nope, ow!  How long does it hurt like this?"  The part of her that was peeved at cracking in front of him was smaller than the part that felt he might know a thing or two about it, and she'd take any tips at making this hurt less.
