3rd Dive: Recreation [Action]
[It was quite a nice day on the 19th of April outside, pleasantly sunny and even warmer than before, and what better way for Ai to spend it than taking another trip towards the western lake in Luceti. Seeing the gradual season change was a welcome sight, with the leaves of the trees around starting to visibly grow, which had provided Ai with all the more motivation to go and check the lake out. When she got to see how secluded it was, how inviting, with its waters crystal clear, she just had to surpass the urge to jump right in and swim. After all, it still wasn't warm enough to do that yet.
However, Ai still wanted to carry out with her initial plan that she had thought of before, which involved her taking some food with her and making herself a picnic. The hike that led her there certainly opened up her appetite, and it just so happened that it was lunch time when she eventually arrived. The girl then made a half-circle as she walked to the opposite side of the lake which faced the river emptying out in it, and proceeded to take her rest there. Sitting down, she opened up the bag she had carried with her, reaching out and taking the sandwich inside which she had neatly wrapped in a napkin and began to chew on it.]
Action I.
[Whoever wandered around the western lake could stumble upon either Ai either hiking or relaxing there and pleasantly eating her lunch with a look of contentment about her. She really did enjoy being there, next to the water and around nature in general, as the setting was quite serene and tranquil and it took her mind off things.]
Action II.
[A little later, now with a full stomach, Ai would begin heading back, but not before stopping by the curious treehouse village next to the lake, her eyes inspecting it closely. Yes, she also saw the ropes course nearby, but she was not going to be touching that - it didn't even lead to the water, for one thing. She had seen the treehouses before and couldn't help but think that they looked somewhat unstable, at least most of them. Since she was spending a reasonable amount of time here though, she spared some of it to climb onto one of the ladders. There wasn't much to do there, though, except sit and enjoy the view of the lake for a little while before she eventually taking her leave. Somebody could encounter her while she was there, though.]
Action III.
[After taking the teleporter in the Rec Center, the hot springs became Ai's last destination in her route today. It had been turned into a bath house, and while she didn't mind it, she still found herself preferring the natural hot spring she had regularly gone to back home. That one had been a much more private one and virtually nobody was aware of its existence.
As she found out, though, Luceti's hot spring was not bad at all, and she had been excited about coming here ever since she heard that there was one in the village too - she could only be thankful about the things she did get to take advantage of here. The building had the look of a traditional Japanese bath house, which at least helped make her feel even more at home.
With how her body just ached to relaxed after today's hike, Ai quickly found herself undressing in the changing room, leaving her clothes in one of the baskets there and then proceeded to wash her now naked body. After that was done, she took a towel with her and headed to the female side of the hot spring, already picking on the smell of sulfur as she walked closer and closer. She could only smile upon finally seeing it with her own two eyes, on top of finding that it was virtually empty at the time as well. It might have been part of a bath house, but at least it was decorated nicely with a fair amount of pretty looking flowers, the sound of the small waterfall also adding to the soothing atmosphere.
Needless to say, it was not long before she entered the hot spring with a long sigh escaping her lips, placing her towel on the rock that she used to comfortably slouch her bare body against, falling into an immediate trance. She just couldn't help but have her eyes flutter closed for a while, the tension that had been in her muscles soon leaving her. She was most certainly going to spend some time here before heading home; it was a good way to close the day.
If there were any other girls in the hot spring at that time, they could stumble upon Ai relaxing, who would use the towel to cover herself once she heard somebody else approaching, wanting to see whether they also wore a towel.]
(OOC TL;DR: I'm aware this may be kind of long, so in short, Ai's having a day out, so you can encounter her hiking near the western lake, having a picnic there, inspecting the treehouse village nearby or relaxing in the Luceti hot springs on the female's side (obviously, only girlsor perverted guys can tag this option). Also, reading the reflections post I have linked to is not necessary as it simply shows some of Ai's thoughts and impressions of Luceti a month after living there. Also handwaving that fact that the temperatures will lower after Ai spends time hiking.)

[Hot Springs]
She blinks. The girl looks up, then to the newcomer.]
Ma'am... Did you bring an extra towel?
[Hot Springs]
She blinked a couple of times herself before she answered.]
Uh... No, I did not. I only have the towel I brought with me.
no subject
I understand. It's just that it gets a little cold out of water when I need to stretch.
... Sorry for not saying anything. I didn't notice you until now.
[She is letting her reflexes dull. She needs to exercise back once again.]
no subject
It is okay, do not worry about it. I did not see you either, I had my eyes closed as I relaxed.
[She really couldn't help it; being in the hot water was just such a nice feeling especially after her lengthy walk beforehand.]
How long have you been in here? [More than anything else, it was her curiosity that made her ask that question.]
no subject
Half an hour.
[...]
Or did you mean the enclosure?
[She could tell this was a new feather. Some old faces were leaving in place for a new generation. And answering in the later sense would ruin the moment for the two of them.]
no subject
So she had not been for that much long before Ai came to visit the hot springs as well. Personally, she would spend at least an hour in the warm, soothing waters, but after a day like this she presumed that she would be here for a while longer. Even if she wasn't alone anymore - or rather, she had just recently discovered that she wasn't - it was still a relaxing experience.]
No, I did not. [She shook her head as she answered her and then tilted her head.] You have probably been here for longer than I have, though... I only arrived in Luceti about two months ago.
no subject
Take your time in here. The first months still take time getting used to.
[Then, the girl slowly rises to grab a towel and gather some snacks, and the water level over her side drops dramatically for a good reason. The side of her pond was deep enough to cover said seven feet tall girl.]
Do you want tea?
