After a few more minutes of thinking to myself, I stand from my seat and put out the fire. Now would be the time to get some much needed sleep, my back is still quite sore from when the Assassin had slammed me into a tree. I then walk towards the small shelter Sky and I had built earlier, pushing the sheep skin door aside to see that she had already fallen asleep.
She looked so peaceful, so gentle. Although I know that's not entirely true from what I've seen, which was many different things. Kindness, aggression, empathy, anger, generosity, Ferocity, many things. This ooman is rather complicated unlike most of the Yautja, but I admit we have our conflicting moments.
I sit down and lean against the wall of the shelter, resting my aching back.

Fugi awoke the next morning to find that Sky was not in the shelter, it did not seem to concern him as he figured that she had awoken earlier than him. He stood from his resting position and moved the sheep skin to exit the shelter, only to be greeted with the same blue eyed Night Light sitting right in front of him. He was clearly caught off guard as the look in his eyes seemed rather surprised.
The baby dragon then looked into the shelter, not seeing the human he had grown to like. The Night Light then walked back towards his sleeping father. Fugi seemed rather confused as he did not see the Light Fury anywhere, nor Sky. The Yautja raised a brow wondering where the human had gone, when he then heard her familiar laugh coming from a boulder nearby.
Fugi strode towards the boulder where he heard her laughing, he came around the rock to see the entrance to a cave. The alien entered the cave, curious as to why she would even be in there.
"OW! My hair isn't food!" He heard her say.
He turned the corner to see a fire lit chamber with another pond, only this one had bubbles floating to the top. Sky sat in the bubbling pond, stripped of her shirt, long sweatpants, and bloody bandages with her body submerged up to her collarbone. Bright pink straps went over her shoulders, it was her sports bra. Snowfall was laying beside the pond, the other black Night Light was playfully tugging on her hair. She managed to free her hair from the baby dragon when she noticed Fugi.
"Oh hey Fugi!" She said with a smile.
"May I ask what you are doing?" He asks, coming closer to the bubbling pond.
"Well, I needed a bath and it was a little chilly this morning. Snowfall lead me into this cave and to this hot spring. It works great for baths, relaxing, even on sore muscles. Care to come in?" She says.
Fugi hesitated for a moment, remembering his sore back muscles. Snowfall looked at the alien, curious whether or not he would be joining the human in a nice hot spring. The Yautja was rather conflicted if he should, considering that Sky was rather exposed with wearing a sports bra and only a pair of stretchy shorts. But he was compelled enough to stick his hand into the water, surprised at how warm it was.
"Perhaps only for a moment or two." Fugi removed his armor, revealing his powerful muscles.
* * * *
I watched as Fugi removed his chest armor first, showing off his rock hard abs and pecs. God, he's one of the most physically built people I've ever seen. He removed every single piece of armor, excluding his pelvic armor as well as his single gauntlet with the translator. His muscles tensed as he slowly stepped into the natural hot tub, a relieving sigh came from him.
"This is rather nice, I'll admit." Fugi said as he lay his arms on the outer edge of the hot spring.
"Ain't it? We humans back home usually have hot tubs which are run by electricity, as well as bathtubs and showers. But this is all natural, which is much better." I say.
