The morning was cool, almost chilly- a reminder that winter would be here soon. Huā decided to visit the springs. Her den was on the southern island, where the hot springs were, too, so it didn't take her long after waking that day before she was on her way over. As she was nearing she caught Kai's scent in the air, and prepared herself for company. Huā liked relaxing alone sometimes, but she didn't mind companionship either, and even better that it was Yuèlín's newest recruit. Maybe the empress would have a chance to get to know her better.

She made her way down through the series of rocky steps, the pools coming into view up ahead. She caught sight of Kai in one of them, her eyes closed- looking awfully relaxed, and Huā smiled lightly. She let out a soft chuff to announce her presence so she wouldn't spook the panda-colored lady, before slipping into the same spring, though keeping a respectful distance between them. Huā's muscles immediately lost their built-up tension as the heat covered her, and she decided that she ought to make time for this more often.

Kai, how have you been adjusting to the island so far? I am sorry we have not had the chance to chat much yet, maybe we can fix that. Huā spoke up with a little smile on her face, though her voice remained light, not wishing to disturb the calm atmosphere too much.
