Wasn't there a bathhouse somewhere around the area? How'd Furia enjoy a hot, steamy, relaxing bath with her new friends? Plus, on the way we could drop by the farrier and ask about restoring that dagger. And afterwards we could quickly visit the port and check if that sea dog got our letter. And then it'll probably be almost time for the festival already. Perfect! Alright then, let's grab out saddlebags and move out!

You agree to pay Furia Storm a visit to the bathhouse. As you retrieve your belongings from the storage upstairs, Moondancer stares the disguised siren down from across the room, until Dawn Break nudges her back to reading.

You move Magic Sword Scabbard, Tempered Simple Breastplate, and Trailblazer's Magic Saddlebags to your Sidereal Bag.

You bid farewell to your friends, and walk outside into the increasingly warm afternoon. You pass by a few groups of ponies on their way to the beach, some carrying tables and festival decorations.

Before long, you arrive at your destination, where you are greeted by the bathkeeper. You choose a medium bath room for all three of you.

You pay 3 Gold Bits to the bathkeeper.

Bathkeeper: "Thank you. This way, please. If you need anything, ring the bell by the door, and somepony will drop by. Oh, and do be mindful; our walls are not quite soundproof."

The bathkeeper leads you to a room where a freshly prepared bath awaits you. In the middle, a small table holds two bars of soap and a bottle of shampoo. Tall windows light up the scene, offering a pleasant view of the sunny woods just outside.

After taking off your equipment, you settle in the comfortably hot water with your companions, and soon begin to relax.

You unequip Star Hairpin.

Moonflower: "Oooh, this feels just like home! So, you havin' a good time, Furia?"

Furia Storm: "Beats rotting in a cave, I guess. Why do you care?"

Moonflower: "I was jus' thinkin'! In a way, sirens are kinda like bat ponies, right? Most ponies don't really trust us 'cause of stuff that happened a long time ago.

I mean, tryin'a go places was super thorny before I met Blazer. Ponies got scared of me! But now they trust her, and she trusts me, so they sorta give me another chance, y'know?"

Furia Storm: "Good for you."

Moonflower: "Heehee… I'm just sayin', maybe you should try givin' ponies another chance, too. Bet'cha can make lots'a friends, and show ponies that sirens aren't all meanies!"

Furia Storm gives Moonflower a deadpan look, but doesn't respond.

You feel rejuvenated!
