Lunise frowned. "I was more concerned about passing as a lycan with such old wounds," she murmured. Something in her voice suggested she did not appreciate Meesei being quite so explicit in her wording. However, Karl seemed more occupied with stepping into the water with Sabine when Lunise wandered away.

Karl sucked in a breath through his teeth as he took his first step in the steaming waters. "Are you sure this is safe, Sabine?"

"Yes, we have done this many times before," Sabine responded. Leading Karl by the hand, she stepped ahead and gave him a smile. "It is good. I promise. You will not want to leave. Just try not to submerge your head."

Soon enough, they reached a waist deep spot to seat themselves. Both Sabine and Karl sighed as the water relaxed every muscle in their bodies.

Karl slowly opened his eyes and suddenly realised that Meesei was talking to him. "Oh, this? In the city?" He blinked a few times and tried to think. "Um...well, bath water is not something I know any existing mechanisms were made for. There would have to be some refitting. Not as much as from scratch -- the main engines of the Dwemer heat water to make pressure. It would still take some time and effort, however."

"Hot springs in the cavern would be wonderful. I would go every day I could." Sabine sat back in bliss, closing her eyes. "There are minerals in the water here that are good for skin. Everyone would be nice and smooth in the clan."

Karl breathed a short laugh. He then had another realisation. "I heard that Darahil once enabled some Ayleid magic in the previous clanhome that filled a large warm pool for everyone to use. It sounds nicer than the chilly streams running through Blackreach. Maybe, if he still had the right artefacts, he could install it again?"
