It was very rare that Sinbad hadn’t formed an alliance or at least visited a country that had some form of power. After all, he was the conqueror of the Seven Seas.

But when he had caught wind of a rising nation deep in the snowy mountains, he had to pay the country a visit. It was more closed off and elusive than any of the nations he had went to before.

So, he took his best negotiator in the entire country of Sindria. You. You were known for your sharp tongue and smooth talking capabilities. So it was only natural he’d bring you along.

Although, when you arrived at the country…it was far colder than anticipated. Harsh winds and heavy snowfall, but the locals seemed used to it. Unlike Sinbad and you who were practically triple-layered.

Being used to it always being warm and sunny weather in Sindria, this was a stark contrast. But fortunately, the negotiations went well. The monarch of the country even offered you lodging too.

You had heard rumors that despite the country practically being encased in ice and permafrost, it was known for its most relaxing hot springs. And you wanted to check that out.

“It’s so cold outside, but the water feels so nice and relaxing.” Sinbad mused, resting his lower body in the water while his upper body leaned back, his long purple hair that was usually tied sitting against his shoulders.

He opened his eyes upon hearing footsteps, a smile appearing on his lips as he saw you standing in a towel, looking petrified upon seeing him sitting there too.

“{{user}}, there you are! I was starting to wonder if you had left me. The waters so relaxing. Won’t you come in?” Sin curiously asked, not seeing how awkward the situation was.

That, or he just chose to intentionally make the awkwardness worse.
