One good thing about Shihyaha was her power to influence the mood of the others. Practically, she did the same to me whenever I got a fit of uncontrollable anger. Then, I only found out that I was calmer and collected again. When I discovered that, I bid her not to influence me again in such a way or she'll be sorry.
We reached the pool of hot spring and I patted the large deposit of river rock beside me.
"Come sit here," I said and she was surprised by the presence of the red flowers surrounding the blue water. When she sat down, she let her feet down to the water.
"This is nice," she said.
"A spring for vitality. It's the breath of the twin giants." I said. "Here, let me take it off for you."
I took off her robe and mine, soaking in the water with the intent to distress from everything. After all, I really had no proper rest and doing it with Layla was actually helpful.
"Join me." I said to her.
