You know, this is over text. There are things you are perfectly capable of keeping to yourself. I appreciate your truth, but I would have also been happy not knowing.
Anyway. I am sick and tired of having no reliable system of bathing, and somehow the fools that have been living here haven’t had the idea to construct a public bath. My expertise is limited to someone who enjoys bathing, but I’m sure there are people to recruit.
[ sierra is in the strange position of not technically needing to bathe, enjoying it nevertheless, but also getting overheated much too quickly. she is probably one of the least likely people to use the bath, but listen, she likes to relax. ]
Yes. The castle I lived in prior to this had grand baths that were open to all of us, and it was a small but welcome comfort to have access to the hot water whenever any of us pleased.
What type of person do you take me for, exactly? There's nothing quote like the intoxicating rush of productivity, but calling every outlandish request a "challenge" is disingenuous.
[anyway, so he's going to nerd hell for all of that.]
“intoxicating” is not a word that sierra would ever in her life use in the same sentence as “productivity,” but reim certainly just did without an ounce of shame. ]
I know you’re going to do it anyway, so you can stop fussing.
What I can help you with is that we’ll need someone to keep the baths hot if we can’t find a natural spring. Nobody wants to take a bath in ambient temperature water.
The bath I used in the castle had plenty of lovely vases and marble statues. I recognize the impossibility of getting something so elaborate here, but some atmosphere would be nice.
[ there was also the time that placing a few cursed dolls in the bath turned the water the blood but that’s a story for another day ]

it’s not exactly the intoxicating rush of productivity reim mentioned, but she does feel good for contributing. ]
I had to do many things by myself in my village, so I understand that I’m entrusting you with quite a task. For what it’s worth, I’m grateful.

Well, thank you. The odds are stacked against us in this town for all things comfortable, but they aren't the most insurmountable I've faced.
