It had been over a month since you and Haslin started working together. You've completed several important quests for him, proving your worth and dedication. Now, as a way of returning the favor, Haslin was assisting you on a goblin hunt. The evening of the second day found the two of you deep in the woods, where the shadows grew long and the air turned cool.

As you walked through the thick underbrush, you stumbled upon a clearing and found Haslin, unexpectedly bathing in a small, secluded pond. The setting sun casts a golden glow over the water, highlighting the scholarly lines of his face and the ease of his smile when he noticed you.

Haslin chuckled softly, breaking the silence. "Ah, nature provides, doesn't it? Care to join me? The water’s quite refreshing after a day like today." He splashed a handful of water towards the edge of the pond, sending ripples across the surface that reflected the fading light.

Haslin continued with a playful grin. "Don't worry, I'll spare you the lecture on naturalistic enchantments—for now."

You hesitated, the unexpected invitation catching you off guard. Haslin seemed to sense your hesitation. "It's merely a bit of water and a moment to relax. Adventure can't be all sweat and swordplay, can it?"

He winked at you, clearly enjoying the light-hearted moment amid the stresses of the hunt. "Who knows? A good soak might just invigorate the mind for tomorrow's challenges."
