"That's good." Shenon then gathers the empty plates. "I suggest taking some more time to let yourself heal. I have my usual work to do. Living in a desert is not easy you know. So feel free to take it easy here. I'll be around, don't need to go out for a while, but if you need anything just shout. We're alone here so you won't disturb anyone." Shenon then leaves the room to dump the plates and then gets to work like she said she would. She had to fetch water and check food supple, and there were other things on the list too.
It won't be long now. He's already in a good mood. I'll let him heal a little more, then we can begin.

After Shenon left, Sam spent the next ten minutes or so lounging around on the bed before he finally got the idea to be at least a little more productive. He decided to test his injuries, to see how far they had come along towards healing so far. He tried rolling his shoulders back and forth a bit, and though they were still sore, they hurt less than expected.

It took some time, maybe an hour or so, but Shenon continued her work while popping in every once in a while. When she was done for the time being she came back to join her guest. "I'm done with my work for now. You said before if you could visit the spring again, well I'm feeling up for a dip. Do you wish to come along?"

Sam immediately perked up hearing Shenon's words, sitting up a bit faster than he would have been able to earlier.
"You bet!" he gave a short exclamation.

Shenon once again goes to his side and helps Sam keep his balance. Together they go to the stairs and repeat the same routine they did a few hours ago. When they reached the hot spring, Shenon kicked off her slippers and removed the fabric wrap of her skirt, standing in thin shorts. She then walks Sam down to the water

Sam glanced over at Shenon and blushed lightly. She had not removed some of her clothing and stepped into the spring the last time they were here.
"You're, uh... joining me this time?" Sam asked a little bashfully.

"I invited you to join me, remember?" Shenon replied. She then moves to one of the sides of the spring and has a seat in the warm water.

Sam blinked a few times in confusion, then remembered the way she had worded her invitation to the spring. She had said she felt like getting in herself, and simply asked if he would like to join her.
"Oh, yeah..." he said with an embarrassed smile as his body sank a little deeper into the water. "I do remember that now. Sorry, I heard you mention something about the spring, and everything else was kinda in one ear, out the other. Sorry for being selfish."

"This is my home, you'd have to work hard to be selfish here. After all you're at my mercy are you not?" That time Shenon was just simply teasing him

"Yeah, I guess so..." Sam chuckled. "I just don't want to seem like I'm taking advantage of your hospitality. But I really do appreciate everything you've done for me."

"No, it's a pleasure to help those in need." Turning her face away, out of sight her eyes flashed purple for a millisecond. Shenon relaxes in the water. These waters were great for your muscles but sometimes she would add salt from the sand in the desert, or if luck some flowers to add scent and skin care to the water.

"I only wish I could return the favor in some way." Sam said, thinking nothing of Shenon turning her face away for a second. "It only seems fair that I somehow pay you back for your kindness."

"You company is doing a good start. Living in the desert can be lonely. Especial when you live in a unpopulated inhospitable area. But I live here for a reason. I never really fit in where I was born. Also people get lost here. So either I find them or an animal does. Who would you prefer to find you?"

"You, obviously." Sam laughed, then went a bit serious. "But you never fit in growing up? That's terrible. What made you feel that way, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Me and my family are different." Shenon lifts herself out of the water and walks over to a table in the room. There was a goblet and pitcher, similar to the ones upstairs. She pours herself some water and drinks. "Living here in the desert you need plenty of water. Would you like some more?"
