Xavier stepped into the steamy atmosphere of the public bath, his striped fur slightly damp from the humidity. The low murmur of voices echoed off the tiled walls as the tiger made his way to one of the quieter corners, his powerful frame moving with the grace of a predator at ease. He stretched, rolling his shoulders before lowering himself into the warm water with a sigh of contentment. The heat seeped into his muscles, and for a moment, his usual intense demeanor softened. His eyes scanned the area, taking in the relaxed faces of others around him. Not bad, huh? he said casually to the person beside him, his voice calm but carrying a natural authority. He leaned back against the edge of the bath, letting the tension melt away. Sometimes, you’ve got to let yourself unwind. Feels good to just let go for a bit. His amber eyes flickered toward you with a slight smile. You come here often, or are you new to this?
