Aqua Springs ~ ART GALLERY OPEN! ~ Geezerville

[Kits Rose]

I know... Guess I should start looking around for one.

Eep! cat_surprised *jumps when he suddenly pulls her onto his lap* What are you doing?  

[Chef_Karrie]

You said your back hurt. *starts rubbing her lower back, finding the knots in her muscles*  

[Kits Rose]

I... cat_sweatdrop yeah, I did, I guess. *leans forward, looking down at the water*  

[Chef_Karrie]

You did. *looks at the damp strands of hair clinging to her neck. After a moment, speaks softly* Are you going to tell me what's really bothering you? I know something is.  

[Kits Rose]

*shakes her head, somehow feeling reluctant to talk to Karrie* I'd rather not... talk about it. *her back feeling a lot less stiff, moves back to the seat she was in before, stretching her legs as if she's trying to reach the seat on the other side, but can't quite*  

[Chef_Karrie]

Oh... *sighs and leans back, his arms resting on the edge of the tub* I see... neutral

*leans his head back, looking up at the sky* Oh, look, it's snowing.  

[Kits Rose]

*looks up* Yeah, it is. It's pretty, isn't it?

*they sit there silently for a while, watching the snow fall around them, melting when it got close* We should probably go in, it's getting late. *turns to kneel on the seat, the end of her tail rising out of the water behind her* And cold.  

[Chef_Karrie]

*looks around and sighs* You're right, I guess.

*with an effort, stands up, shivering when the cold air hits his body* Brrr. *climbs out, grabbing a towel to wrap around himself and another for Kits. He held his hand out to help her out*  

[Kits Rose]

*takes Karrie's hand to pull herself up and out* Brr is right. *shivering, takes the towel he gives her and quickly dries off. When she's dry enough, she takes the robe from its hook and puts it on* Let's go!  

[Chef_Karrie]

*stares at the robe* emotion_facepalm So that's what they're there for. *shakes his head* Yeah, that would've been smart to grab one.  

[Kits Rose]

*laughs* Come on, let's not stand here all night, getting cold! *grabs his hand and pulls him down the path. At the doors to the locker rooms, they separate* I'll meet you in the lobby.

*goes inside, grateful for the blast of heat when she walks through the door*  

[Chef_Karrie]

*after drying off the rest of the way and getting dressed, goes to wait in the lobby. He knew it would take her longer to get ready, so he leaned against the wall near the door to the lounge. He pulled his ponytail over his shoulder, running his fingers through it to help it dry faster*  

[Kits Rose]

*gets dressed as fast as she can, using the hand dryer to speed up drying her tail. She shrugs when another woman in the room gives her an odd look* It's really uncomfortable if my tail gets cold. cat_neutral *The woman shakes her head and leaves without saying a word to Kits*

*when she's finished, goes out into the lobby and looks around until she sees Karrie* Hey, Karrie... Did you walk here tonight?  

[Chef_Karrie]

No, I drove, and yes, I'll give you a ride home. *smiles down at her* As long as you don't mind stopping somewhere on the way so I can get something to eat.  

[Kits Rose]

Of course I don't mind. But I've got to go get Smok from the pet spa. Hold on, I'll be right back. *runs down the nearly empty hallway to get her small dragon*

*a few minutes later, returns with Smok in her arms* Okay, we can go now.

*Smok sleepily squeaks a greeting to Karrie, then his head drops down on Kits' arm*
