[Once Yuel does, she goes to get changed into a bathing suit, a bikini of her own. She comes out after a few moments, and with the change of clothes, Yuel will be able to see the deep bruise on her ribs, joining the one on her face.]

I'm not shy, but you haven't earned a peek, either! Hot tub?

[fluffier]

[ She stares at the bruises for a second but doesn't say thing, going with Endorsi to the hot tub. ]

Ya look pretty hurt. Is that all from... the race?

[fisherwoman]

[She waves a hand.]

It is, but it's nothing I can't handle.

[fluffier]

Ya know there's a magical healing thing, right?

[fisherwoman]

[A scoff.]

The one that warns us we might not be satisfied with the results? I don't really trust it.

[She climbs into the hot tub, though, sighing in pleasure.]

[fluffier]

[ She has a point. ]

Guess yer as suspicious as always. [ She slides into the tub as well, leaning against the edge. ] Though... Ya have good reason to be.

[fisherwoman]

About that machine, or in general?

[fluffier]

In general.

[fisherwoman]

So you're starting to see that this place is suspicious, then?

[fluffier]

Well... Who wouldn't?

[ She sinks further into the water. ]

[fisherwoman]

Someone stupid, probably.

[fluffier]

[ She gives Endorsi a suspicious look before holding out her hands. ]

C'mere.

[fisherwoman]

...Why?

[fluffier]

[ She grins, not looking suspicious at all. ]

Got a surprise for you.

[fisherwoman]

[She holds them out, but she looks ready to pull them away at a moment's notice.]

[fluffier]

[ Yuel takes her hands and... instead of ripping her arms off, she's just rubbing her thumbs into her palms.

And then she starts rubbing her wrists... Like this is... a massage. ]

[fisherwoman]

[She pauses for a long moment, confusion growing, before:]

...What are you doing?

[fluffier]

Societte and I would do this for each other when we practiced for a long time. It felt really good if we got to take a hot bath too.

[fisherwoman]

[Oh.

It doesn't feel bad, so she doesn't pull away, but she does look a little bit uncertain.]

Societte?

[fluffier]

My best friend. We grew up together.

[ Continuing up her arm... She wants to pet Endorsi until she's flat like a hamster. ]

She ain't anything like me though. She's so shy if a stranger ever talks to her, she just freezes up like a mouse!

[fisherwoman]

And you aren't too loud for her or anything?

[She relaxes into the touch a little.]

[fluffier]

No, she loves me plenty. [ She sticks her tongue out. ] Most people like me, ya know!

[fisherwoman]

Really? Even with how much you yell?

[Teasing.]

[fluffier]

I yell a totally normal amount.

[ She flicks some water at her. ]

[fisherwoman]

Oh, is that what you tell yourself?

[Splashing back!!]
