“Right, well, if you wanna get me a cowboy hat, I’ll give it the old college try. How about that?”

For her, he would. If she really wanted it that much.

“Now, shower sex, that’s sommat else,” he conceded with a hint of interest. He leaned over, placing a hand on the bedspread behind her. “Bit hot and slippery, different sort of logistics from a bed or a wall — have you never done it?”

Airy's smile widened. "Really?" She didn't know if she was going to go through the trouble of getting a cowboy hat but she was happy that he was willing to try something for her. "I mean, yeah. If I get one."

Maybe.

She turned towards him, one leg curling beneath her on the bed as she met his gaze. "No but I want to try it." Airy's had bath sex but not shower sex. The showers were newer and she mostly used them to quickly wash off before disappearing back to her room. "Do you think we could do it without someone getting hurt?" Her voice was light and a little teasing. Airy thought they could do it but she liked being playful with Cassidy.

"Oh, sure," he said, without a hint of hesitation. He believed in them. "No question. Just have to take a bit of care with it."

And he would definitely be down for giving it a try, far more readily than the game with the cowboy hat. Maybe not immediately right now, but one wonderful thing about this place was its almost complete lack of daily structure.

"You got any plans later today?"

"I like your confidence."

Airy laughed softly and shook her head. "And no, I don't have plans." She didn't make plans all that often and when she did they were usually random and intimidate.

"Does that mean we should meet in the showers later?" It wasn't a difficult thing to orchestrate though they'd have to decide which showers. Airy had visited all of the bathing area's at one point out of pure curiosity so she at least knew where they all were.

"I think we just made a date." And he couldn't help smiling at the idea of calling it that.

"Maybe take a trip to one of the other baths? I've not seen any of them aside from the Winter ones."

Airy's smile widened. "A date, huh?" She felt her heart flutter in her chest and she idly wondered if Cassidy could hear it. "I don't think it's a traditional first date but I like it." Not that Airy knew anything about what was traditional with... whatever kind of dating this was.

"I've visited all of them actually. I love weather and the seasons so I wanted to check them out." She was one of those people who liked talking about the weather outside of just making small talk. "Spring is my favorite because of the cherry blossoms in the bath but we could go to fall. I think you'd like it better and that wing smells amazing."

She really liked the seasons.

"Sure, the fall. Sounds nice."

He hadn't been thinking of it as a first date, exactly, but sure. He'd heard that flutter of delight in her voice.

He plucked at the front of his new shirt. "Thanks for thinkin' of me."

"Sometimes it's hard not to think of you." Airy leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to his forehead before rising to her feet.

"I'll see you later in the fall showers."

It might not technically be their first date but it was the first time Cassidy had called it a date.
