Ames was ready to forget the whole day's events. Well, she would if she could, but the spring's water couldn't wash away thoughts or memories. She'd stayed with the group because they were familiar and fun, and despite how annoyed she'd gotten with them during their trip into the caverns she didn't intend to abandon them just yet. Still, something about the day's happenings still irked her. Still lingered in her mind. She sighed, slipped deeper into the water until everything below her chin was submerged, and then sighed again - contentedly this time.

This hot spring really was a blessing. A perfect temperature, hot but not painful, with a beautiful venue and even more beautiful view from where it say nestled in the mountains. Ames was [i]so[/i] glad they ended the day with this, even more than completing the prerequisites for her next class she just really appreciated the pleasant soak. It had surprised her at first that the spring was co-ed, but given that everyone was an online avatar it wasn't that uncomfortable. For most of them. Raime seemed disturbed at first, but at least he was in the water. Ames had respectfully not tried to peek at his junk, though for the red haired Animist herself - or rather in this form, himself - well he was letting it all hang out. It was pretty refreshing, plus with the censor on it's not like anyone could see anything but a pixelated rectangle even if the water was crystal clear. 

So Ames relaxed, mostly submerged with her head cleaning back against the warm stone and her eyes closed. Gentle conversation echoed around the spring, and all was well. She might have nodded off if it weren't for a sudden, sharp pain that lanced through her hand. Her eyes snapped open and she shot up straight.

[color=C94153]"Fuck!"[/color] she hissed, wrenching her arm out of the water and ready to punch whatever asshole decided to mess with her while she was enjoying her bath. Instead she found a mark on the back of her hand, still burning. And a young girl, forming from nothing and speaking to her. 

Ames was bewildered. She stared in silence for an awkward amount of time before she understood what was happening thanks to the game's notification. Her own Nuclei, and it was a cute little knight! Ames stood up out of the water suddenly in all of her pixelated glory. Britomart, as the girl had named herself, very purposefully kept her gaze focused on Ames' face. Her own was still hot with embarrassment at the situation she'd been summoned in. Or manifested in, Ames wasn't sure if Britomart was a character that existed before now or if she was created on the spot. Either way, the Animist smiled brilliantly at her.

[color=C94153]"Oh my God! You - you're my knight?"[/color]

[b]"A humble squire,"[/b] Britomart corrected, [b]"yours to command."[/b]

At this point Ames had all but forgotten the thrumming pain in her hand. She looked over at her party, and consequently the other patrons of the hot spring, [url=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D0X6UW0U8AA-6MV.png]posing[/url] and presenting Britomart for all to see. If it was possible, the squire flushed even darker being put on the spot.

[color=C94153]"How cool is that?!"[/color] Ames exclaimed, [color=C94153]"a squire! Britomart - oh, can I call you Bri?"[/color]

[b]"I... yes?"[/b]

[color=C94153]"Bri is my Nuclei!"[/color] Ames looked as though she was about to read through every line of text in the ability's description to her friends. Right here, surrounded by people in various states of undress. Britomart coughed lightly.

[b]"I-if I may be so bold, my liege...?"[/b] she said, waiting for Ames' approval to go on. At first Ames didn't grant it just because she'd never thought to be the lord people were asking permission to speak before, but it clicked soon enough. [color=C94153]"What's up?"[/color]

Britomart cleared her throat, gathering her wits again. [b]"If you have no need of me at the moment and wish to continue your bath, I would not bother you any further. You can dismiss me and summon me again at anytime."[/b]

[color=C94153]"Oh, uh, with this right?"[/color] Ames turned her hand over, examining the brand etched into her skin. She willed Britomart away to try it out, and sure enough the mists of the hot spring swirled around the young squire. When they cleared she was gone. Sensing that her master might summon her back immediately, Britomart reached out to Ames, her voice much more confident in the confines of Ames' mind.

[i][b]"We can continue to talk like this if you like, my liege. If you have any questions of me, please ask them."[/b][/i]

[color=C94153]"So cool..."[/color] Ames breathed. She hadn't expected to get a Nuclei so quickly, and definitely hadn't expected it would take a form like this. The Animist reentered the water, sinking quickly back down and smiling to herself. [color=C94153]"You guys aren't gonna believe the details on this."[/color]

For the remainder of their time at the hot spring, Ames chatted all about her new Nuclei. It's uses, her thoughts on it, and especially about how none of them were allowed to be weird or mean to Bri or else she would "actually fight [them] IRL." She also spoke to Bri through their psychic connection. First meetings were always a little rough, but Bri had had one hell of an ice breaker. As for the day, Ames supposed that all's well that ends well.
