Castle Hotel & Spa, Outside Sleepy Hollow, NY [Saturday morning and afternoon]

It's the last day of vacation, Fandom, so enjoy the beautiful, crisp weather by sleeping in and enjoying a decadent brunch before heading into town for last minute cider drinking and souvenir-buying!

Unaware of Lucille's discomfort, Cassandra stepped into the whirlpool not far from her and sat down. "Have you enjoyed the trip?" she asked.

Luckily the water in the whirlpool hid most of their bodies from Lucille's eyes, but sadly not from her imagination.

"I have," she said, tensely cheerful. "I took the cemetery tour, visited the Lyndhurst mansion and found a place that served good tea. And you?"

"I spent a fair deal of time on the preserve," Cassandra said. She let out a little sigh as the warm water began to work into her muscle. "It has been a while since I was last able to ride and hike as much as I would like. It was pleasant."

Lucille wrapped her arms around her body, trying to cover her breasts without being too obvious about it.

"It must have been pleasant."

It was difficult to have a conversation in a whirlpool.

"Yes." Cassandra frowned at her. "...Are you all right?" she said. "Do they not have hot springs where you are from?"

"No," Lucille said quickly. "This is a quite new experience, although not unpleasant."

She didn't look quite relaxed about it though.

"Is it troubling you?" Cassandra said. "The motion of the water here is... interesting."

"Oh, no, not at all," Lucille assured her. "I am just adjusting. The water is..."

The movement against her skin felt almost sensual, which was even more awkward. She scooted away from Cassandra, just a little, and in doing so she accidentally nudged her foot.

"The water is...?" Cassandra said. She was beginning to wonder if she should just leave.

That would bother Lucille even more.

"It's bubbly."

There was a short pause. "It is most certainly bubbly," Cassandra agreed. "But that is not unusual for a spring."
crimson_sister: (looking away)

"I am not used to springs," Lucille said. "The water at home often turns red from the clay unless you let it run for a while."

It was a change of topic. Lucille tried to think of a less obvious way of covering her breasts while not staring at Cassandra's.

"We have no running water at all where I am from, as you may recall," Cassandra said wryly. "It seems like a luxury."
crimson_sister: (serious)

"I remember," Lucille replied, letting herself sink deeper into the pool. "Where can you find hot springs?"

Not that she would suggest going there. It would be quite awkward.

"In the Dales, near the Frostback Mountains," Cassandra said. "Emprise du Lion is particularly known for them, though it is beginning to flood with dragons."

"Better to avoid them, then." This was turning into a really dull conversation.

Well, that tended to happen when you were as tense as Lucille clearly was.

Cassandra nodded. Considering the matter closed, she let out a sigh and slid further into the water, stretching her legs across the hot tub. "I may have pushed myself too far on the hike," she admitted. "This was needed."

She was naked in a pool with her best friend. That was cause to be tense. Lucille pulled her legs close to her chest.

"It is quite relaxing."

She didn't look relaxed.
