[You also could just. Rest. Like a normal person. But... yeah, staying in one place too long can spell disaster for them. Ain knows that, Vash knows that, and it was them and uninhabited land for miles. That hot spring helped to delay the inevitable, but that was... all it did.

Ain could probably use another hot bath, but... later. He's too weary to get up now. Laying down, he's well aware of how gelatinous his wings and arms feel.]

I told you I'd protect you. This is was the best way to do it.
