Althea was extremely grateful for summer ending - which was odd considering how much she loved the holiday - this meant that she wouldn't have to work for her father, deal with Levi's mood swings (not constantly, anyway), and she and her brothers could spend some time apart to...cool off. The Kenning household had been somewhat of a silent warzone - except it wasn't silent at all. Althea had hoped, with the start of the new term, that she could let go of all the negativity (please) and just focus on the impending exams at the end of the year.

With that in mind, she figured she needed a day to relax and think. She hoisted the strap from her bag a little higher up on her shoulder, and made her way to the grounds, excited to see the hot spring. She'd forgone her uniform earlier in exchange for something more casual - a summer dress - with her swim suit underneath. She shifted her bag strap on her shoulder - to distribute the weight evenly - and then resumed her walk over to the hot springs.

She thought she was going to be alone - the universe had so many jokes as of late - but instead she came face to face with one, very confusing yet still very interesting Bentley Moore. Hmm. "Hello, Benny," she greeted and contemplated briefly before taking a seat next to him. "Funny running into you here." And even though she smiled, she didn't actually find it funny at all. He also contributed to her stress, even though he claimed he didn't, which was all the more reason for her to just leave. And yet... After placing her bag down she took off her shoes and dipped her legs into the water.
