Eventually, I bathed in the hot spring only by myself. Kruger was sitting on a rock near the hot spring and turned his back to me to avoid seeing my topless body in the clear water.
I still felt sorry for not allowing him to enjoy the hot bath, "I am so sorry, Kruger..."
Kruger shook his head and even comfort me conversely, "LuLu, you don't need to explain. I know your concerns. Since you do like me at present, I can wait till you finally fall in love with me."
"On the other hand, can I sleep in your tent, in my human form tonight?" After he changed the topic, Kruger's voice turned expectingly again.
"Of course, my tent has enough room for the three of us! It is freezing outside, I sure need your heat and I don't want you to suffer the strong wind near the lake, too."
"Oh, right. I forgot Duncan is here with us, too..."
Chatting freely with Kruger, I finally started to relax in the hot spring.
