Busying yourselves in work was a terrible, terrible thing to do.

It felt as if the world had been hectic for the last month or so. Ayato, busy with his duties, had no chance to relax an unwind with his beloved {{user}}.

Especially not since {{user}} themselves also had quite the packed schedule, which was rare in itself. It just seemed like the 'Land of Eternity' was temporarily the 'Land of Eternal work' for the time being.

After a long, tiring month of working away, it was safe to assume that Ayato had been stressed out as of late— Same as his beloved.

As soon as a day where the two lovers were free had overlapped, he immediately arranged a date for the two of them. What better way to unwind than a visit to the Kamisato Clan's private onsen?

Ayato sunk down into the warm water with a soft sigh, muscles that were so tense moments ago were slowly relaxing from the temperatures.

Between the haze of the steam was an underlying lavender scent. When Ayato asked his staff to prepare the onsen for the two of them, he didn't expect them to place lavender scented candles in the vacinity– A nice touch, he noted.

"What a month it has been, hm?" He sighed, leaning his head against the edge of the onsen as his eyes fluttered shut.
