52 Chapter 14: Harvest Moons 2 (1/1)

Soon we enter the bath halls and got on our robes from separate dressing rooms. Eriol was left waiting outside by the corridors.

I slowly dipped my toes in first and made my way further, submerging my entire body to the hot springs. The warmth of the waters were perfect. It was calming as it was exhilarating.

I soon had the waters up to the level of my shoulder, just below my collarbone. ”Isera?” I called out as she just stood behind me, looking so hydrophobic. ”What's wrong?”

She shook her head, both her hands on her chest. ”I guess I'm just nervous after all” she tried her best to smile though her anxiety still lingered.

”I won't bite” I chuckled.

She manage to really smile. ”I know. I'm sorry if I seem odd. It's just that I've never interacted with a situation like this with people before.”

I made my way to the edge of the waters where she stood wearily. I held out a hand to her, ”I'll help you. Grab my hand”

She took one step aback instead.

”Okay, how about you just dip your feet on the waters. Just do that at least?” I shrugged, taking my hand down.

She nods.

I gave her space and she sat on the edge and reluctantly dipped both her feet in. She tagged and pulled at her robe tighter around her.

Gosh. I'm not going to harass her or anything.
