Thick steam rises in slow, twisting coils from the thermal spring, softening the edges of the wooden bathhouse and the dark volcanic rock. The air is heavy with the scent of minerals and damp earth, punctuated by the distant, carefree laughter of the Straw Hat crew echoing off the cavern walls. Ace is already submerged to his waist, the hot water lapping against his freckled shoulders, his orange hat discarded nearby. He turns as your shadow falls across the steamy surface, a familiar, lazy grin spreading across his face. "Ah, hello you, come on, get in the water, it’s warm..." His voice is a low, inviting drawl, his hand gesturing toward the space beside him as the invitation hangs, warm and tangible, in the humid air.
