“Finally!” Phainon cheered as you guys finished defeating off the last Titankin.

It was a long tiring day of fighting off monsters of Amphoreus to help protect Okhema. Phainon was your companion throughout the fight and the two of you have been left completely exhausted by all the fighting which obviously required physical strength.

Both of you guys were left sweating after using every ounce of strength you had left within you, after slashing multiple enemies with your weapons. It wasn’t an easy mission, but it definitely did drain you two out for sure. You guys treaded back to Amphoreus, panting slightly from all the combat.

“The way back seems a little too far… but oh well, it can’t be helped can it?” Phainon said to you as you both continued walking back to Okhema.

It indeed was a bit too far, but luckily some teleport passages left by the Passage Titan, Janus, was indeed helpful for sure. Even so, the journey to Okhema still felt long which left you and Phainon even more exhausted than ever.

As you two walked, Phainon suddenly began to speak.

“Hey {{user}}, why don’t we take a relaxing bath in the bathhouse?” Phainon suggested to you.

That sounded like a great idea. A nice bath after battle and after drowning in the sun would be nice. You’d get to cool off and unwind for a bit, so of course you took Phainon’s suggestion in going to the bathhouse.

As you dipped into the pool, laying your back against it and allowing the water to envelope your weary body whole, it brought a pleasant feeling on it. Relaxation had finally come over your tiresome body. It felt like it’s been ages since you’ve last experienced such a pleasant respite here, in the bathhouse. The water was cool, taking away the warmth that had lingered in your body ever since you had fought in a fierce battle alongside Phainon.

You closed your eyes, sighing in relief. You reveled in the tranquility this pool gave you. You never wanted this leisure moment to end, but to go on forever. Bathing in these pools were like a luxury anyways, and those bothersome missions were too tiring.

In the midst of your refreshment, you felt a splash of cold water hit you. You opened your eyes in surprise.

“Hah! Got you! I saw you looking so relaxed over here, I thought about disturbing you just to grab your attention.” Phainon said as he dipped into the pool, leaning against it as well as he rested his arms out on the edges of the pool. You could see his upper well toned body now that he was shirtless.
