[One of the more interesting features of Yanxia's mountainous terrain is that there are no shortage of natural hot springs around the fringes toward the Azim Steppe. Some glow in fascinating colors, others billow with steam, and all tend to be occupied by namazu or monkeys or other such (semi-)intelligent creatures looking for a little reprieve.
Except this one. It's well enough out of the way that the locals only rarely venture up to use it, as it's more of a pain in the arse to get to than it's worth to use the ones lower down. Hence why Irhya has decided she'll make the trek up the mountain to have some godsdamned peace and quiet, with no possibility of being disturbed. And all the better after the whirlwind that was her time on the First; now that she's back on her home world, she wants some personal space, which not even Tataru and her doe-eyes can deter her from.
Yes. Nothing whatsoever. Definitely not a huge eight-odd-fulm monster of a man who is also kind of a huge Doma-nerd to disturb her while she's chilling without her clothes or her weapon at hand.]
