[Sumeru has proven to be a really interesting, beautiful place to visit. Even little spots like these where they can find refuge in a small alcove is just another proof of its splendor, and as they reach the water he takes a moment to take it all in. If only their adventure were to allow more serene moments like this between the fighting and the tension...though in some ways, he wrestles with himself over the fact that others whom he loves are getting roped into these battles.]

So you're saying I can't keep you all to myself tonight? I suppose I'll relent and allow it...

[Laughing, Tartaglia takes his boots and socks off first, so he can dip a toe into the water. It's maybe a little cold for his liking, but then it's definitely not the coldest water he's ever plunged into.]

[Meanwhile, he'll just start stripping while she does that, looking forward to a nice little bath with Yoimiya out in the middle of nowhere ;)]
