Stress only wears the body down. Have you tried the hot springs by any chance?

[ Arima suggesting something leisurely?! What is going on in the world. ]

[viscontree]

I have. It was an interesting experience.

Hot springs are rare where I'm from. How about you?

[The temperature was always so abnormal in his world. Julius couldn't pass the chance to try. He wonders about Arima's experiences..]

[prodigism]

They're common in my world and Japan is known for their hotsprings, but...I've never had the luxury of going to one.

[ All work and no play tbh. ]

They're quite nice...for aches and pains I suppose.

[viscontree]

[It's okay, he's not judging.]

There may be some special properties inside the spring that helps with body pain.

I'm no expert on that subject though.

[prodigism]

The steam and heat help the body heal faster I think. [ But Arima doesn't seem to believe that very much, if his tone is anything to go by.

There's a long pause before he finally speaks again. Cutting through the silence as he remembers what Sonia had said to him a few weeks back. ]

Sonia mentioned that you weren't feeling well. How are you doing now?

[ Perhaps this was the reason for their talk? ]

[viscontree]

She did? I'm doing better now, thank you.

Still, I should be more careful regardless. A human body has limits unfortunately.

[So he shouldn't push himself more than he has to. Julius isn't sure if the steam helps either, seems pointless to think on it further. He shrugs. ]

[prodigism]

I wasn't supposed to say, but it's better to be open about such things especially in a place like this. [ He's just gonna apologize to Sonia if he runs into her again. He actually forgot about not telling Julius but he doesn't seem to mind. ]

Unfortunately some of us are also born with genes that make it even harder on the body. [ His eyes narrow a little as he looks downward at his own hands again. ]

[viscontree]

Life is difficult that way.


It's true though. In this type of situation , it's better to be open and honest. I've been trying to do that myself, actually.

[prodigism]

I assume Reika knows as well? [ She was the one closest to him so it's only natural for her to know. ]

Either way I won't speak of it to anyone else. What exactly happened?

[viscontree]

Of course she knows. If anything happens to me Reika will be the first to find out. Thank you for keeping it a secret.

To be blunt, the combat abilities I've been using puts considerable strain on my health.

You've never heard of anything like that, have you?

[Maybe he has?]
