It was hot.

Ok so maybe that was a bit of an understatement when your here in the hot spring capital of the world but still, it was very hot. Or was it humid? It didn't really matter the sweat that was coming form Ross' body was enough to indicate that the temperature around here was a bit too much for him. He felt ashamed really, he was a native to this town and now its heat was starting to have an effect on him? Perhaps he has grown accustomed to places with much cooler temperatures now that he was traveling around the whole region. Or maybe he just didn't notice all this time?

Anyway the shirt he was wearing had to go, so he stripped right next to a vending machine, his plain t-shirt wrapped around his hand as he wiped off any sweat along his now bare torso and tossed it over his shoulder. If the heat didn't make it more damp hopefully it would dry it for him. For now he was starting to feel thirsty, so plunking a few coins into the machine and out popped a bottle of water. Its cool and refreshing taste (does water even have taste) was already helping him feel better. That's when an idea popped into his own head as he remembered something he used to do after fights to help himself feel calmer.

Suddenly the bottle was raised up to his head and out poured the remaining half of the bottle with it pouring down his head to his body. Already he was feeling much much cooler. Temperature wise.

The look on her face is, as usual, that of a perfectly crafted porcelain doll. It hides beneath the shade of the parasol that sit on her shoulder and bounces ever so slightly as she walks, her heels tapping delicately against the the ground. Despite the heat she is dressed in pants that go down to her ankles and heeled boots that scale up to her knees. The long sleeve shirt is in no way slight or see through, it's meant to cover the the almost too white skin that was never made to be exposed to the sun like this. Her hands are gloved as they grip the end of the parasol and the scarf around her neck makes her seem almost ready for a fall evening than to be in Lavaridge during the day.

Everything about her perfectly crafter visage lies. Beneath it she is furious, furious that she has been pulled from her day time slumber to meet with someone in the heat of Lavaridge. She had been unable to decline however, it was something that needed to be done and that she had been putting off for far too long.

The heat makes her boil beneath the clothing but not nearly as severely as allowing herself to be exposed to the sun would at this time of the day. Not to mention for the rest of the week had she allowed it. Truly even just being out well clothed was a risk but she had no choice if she wished to return to her hotel room and lock herself away until night showed itself.

Isra will not make it to her hotel room without interruption however, as something she's not quite sure how to respond to catches her eye. Everything about the shirtless man pouring a bottle of water over his head is simply so out of place to her that in the half sleep of the day she simply stares at him and blinks. "What in the world-" she stops herself before she actually asks the question, continuing to stare instead. It's not that she wouldn't do the same if she could get away with it, it's just that it was the last thing she was expecting to see during her short excursion into the waking hours.

It was hot.

It was amazing how just letting a bit of cool water enter your system, or cover you, just help soothe the burning sensation on one's skin. Sure it wouldn't probably last for very long but it was such a nice sense of relief that it might as well be. Wanna know something else that is amazing? How quick it is to suddenly feel embarrassment when someone notices you giving yourself what is essentially a shower in public, y'know just without all the whole public indecency and what not.

He managed to hear most of what the lady said and make eye contact with her before a beat passed between them. His face light up with a bright shade of pink as he tossed the bottle into a nearby trash can and rubbed the back of his head. "Oh hello there miss. Didn't...didn't see you there. Fine weather we're having aren't we?" The clouds were clearing up above and the temperature around town was cooling down, so it wasn't an inaccurate thing to say. Just something probably timed well...timed poorly we'll say. "Don't let the humidity fool you, the hot springs in town are just as refreshing as ever don't you know." Oh god why did he say that.

Her brows furrowed together, head tilted to the side like a puppet playing at being perplexed. She had to think about what he said because none of the words seemed to fit right into the situation and even he seemed to be aware of that.

Isra shakes the look off of her face and closes her eyes a moment, breathing deep to pull herself together and let go of this oddness she feels. It's not often Isra is caught so out of sorts her internal clock is out of whack, her mind has already been long lost to the heat of the sun and she knows how it effects her. Heat is one of very few things she simply hates.

"I'll keep that in mind." she had no intention of visiting the hot springs. She understood the healing properties such things were renowned for but she personally preferred a bath at home with a menthol bubble bath to numb the body. That was how you ended a long, sore night of work.

"You must be a native here." Isra stares at him hard for a moment before asking the next thing to pop into her head.

"Does everyone around here run around half naked or is it just you?"

A bit uncouth but surprisingly her tone is not so agitated as is could have been, rather she seems to actually want to know. If nothing else, she'd like to be further prepared for whatever other sights she may end up beholding before the day is done.

If he was being honest he had forgotten for a moment that he was indeed shirtless. Years of conditioning in such a state kind of made it a natural feel for him, so having it being pointed out was a bit embarrassing. THe blush on the man's face was barely visible to begin with as he put a shirt back on, so none would would notice but they would probably notice his eyes trying not to meet hers or her general direction. "No no not really. We're all a little more classy than that." He answered her question while implying that he was indeed a native to these parts, "I just haven't been home in a long time, I guess I forgot how humid it can be around here when the springs start acting up." Now that he thought about it when he was actually younger he himself would even wear the warmest of clothing during the hotter season. Weird.
[break][break]
Back onto not trying to embarrass himself even further the man made sure to look a bit more presentable by ironing out his shirt as it clung to his body from being damp. Not the best look in the world but what can you do? "I can tell you aren't familiar with the town, have you never been here before?" A change in topic would help very much, plus the woman did seem like she wasn't taking the warm atmosphere well either, "Here for business or for a personal trip? If its the latter I can help suggest some local activities that a lot of tourists miss out on. Call it an apology for my rude display earlier."
