Oh shit, really? That's one year older than me. (Except he didn't really get the vibe that this guy had been younger than him either. It was all about the attitude. Even with the young face, there had just been no way in hell this dude was an actual teenager.)

Okay, all right.

(He follows after Dito. Thankfully it wasn't actually that far. It was a bit of an annoying hike, for sure, and even Dirk didn't bother with too much quipping. He actually did hate the cold too. It fucked with his hair.

When they get to the actual hot springs, he relaxes somewhat.)

Trust me, this will feel great. (Said more to himself than Dito, actually. As he had warned, there were mostly guys lurking around, some already glancing at them with interested looks. Dirk keeps it steady though, not looking back, which is enough that some of the looks start fading.)

You down with a private room with me or are you gonna get delicate about that too?
