Good! Terra can't die. >:{ Claudius likes her too much ;_;
Claudius could see that his explanation made a bit of sense because Terra began to grin and wagged her tail. Even though he didn’t really know how it worked, he figured that there was some sort of science behind it that made the water warm. Wherever it came from, it had to be heated somewhere and it was hot enough that even when it bubbled to the surface, it was still warm. Whatever the reasons, Claudius didn’t mind not knowing since he didn’t think he had any way of figuring it out. He was just happy it existed and that he could show them to Terra.
Claudius nodded when Terra said it would be fun, but frowned when she paused to stop. Since she was still leaning on his arm, he followed her to the tree, guiding her to rest against it. When Terra asked if he had been in the springs, Claudius shook his head.
“I-I’ve see-een them and been… nea-ear th-e-e-em, but nev-e-er in the-e-em… so it’ll… be a ne-e-e-ew… experience for both of us.” He grinned widely to show that he was excited about the opportunity as well.
He kept his harm half-extended and ready for when Terra wanted to walk again. He was a little glad they had taken a break, since his arm would probably get tired after a bit, too. It was good for both of them to catch their break for a second.
