Outside the villa, there used to be a circle of swimming pools, but at Ash's strong insistence, it was quickly converted into a steam hot spring. At the moment, Igula was squatting beside it with his knees held, watching the starlight glimmer idly in the water.
"If you want to soak for a while, just go ahead, no one's stopping you."
Igula thought for a moment, then really took off his boots and socks, rolled up his pants to his knees, carefully touched the water with his toes, letting the hot spring soak up to his ankles, quietly watching the ripples stirred up by his moving toes.
He turned around and saw Ash sitting in a wheelchair, "You're really using this toy to get around?"
Ash thumbed back at the villa: "Rose is watching, and she's not joking. If I didn't insist on refusing, she'd definitely be helping push the wheelchair behind me... Give me your hand."
Igula looked at his bloody fist and casually handed it over.
