:That's understandable. I don't get dizzy anymore though. I think it's due to the fact that I'm immune to g-forces now.:

«Right, that would make sense. You've got a lot of elementalism, young man.»

:Oh. I didn't know it was related to elementalism.:

«It is. There's some introductory magic books in the library, I'd suggest you look into those. Or Saffron will probably assign you the material in lessons sooner or later, if you'd rather wait for that.»

:That's very good. I'm still not used to being able to just learn things.:

He's happy that his Sending casting time delay has been reduced to less than two seconds with each casting!

«That makes sense. I'm glad you're here.»

:I am too.:

Conrad will continue rotating unless Cumin has anything else to say, or someone tells him it's time to get out now.

Cumin does not seem to have anything else to say. She's going to float in the water a bit.

That's very valid. He is going to transition to 'jumping' off of the side of the pool and moving to the other side, before rotating half a turn and 'jumping' off of that side in turn.

«Conrad, this is bathing hours, not swimming hours. Rotating in place is fine, but moving around the pool this much is not.»

Sigh.

He will return to rotating in place then, but in the opposite direction.

:When are swimming hours?:

Cumin can describe swimming hours. But really, this is a small pool, and people who want to swim laps usually go to a larger pool, and people who want to play in the water usually go to a park … all of which are kind of far away from here, actually, though it's possible Conrad could throw money or goodwill at the task of securely visiting those places. «Sorry if I got your hopes up.»

Sad!

:I should try getting better at Waterworking so that I can make my own pool.: He contemplates making a pool of lava and swimming in it, but that would probably upset Saffron.

«You can buy water, you don't need to conjure it from thin vacuum. What you'd need would be a place to put it, though if you don't care about dust or lack of air I guess you could just make a hole in the ground outside Saffron's domain.»

:That's very good! Maybe I'll buy water once I have money. And yes, I might do that. Hm. The vacuum might interact badly with the water. I don't know enough about water to know whether or not it would.:

«The library might have useful information.»

:Where is Lady Saffron's library?:

Cumin can give directions!

Wonderful! Conrad wants to go to the library now.

:I want to go to the library now.:

He will surface and get out of the bath.

And Cumin can advise him on the necessity and methodology of drying off.

What is the methodology for drying off? Do you use Waterworking?

There are options! You can use Waterworking to put the water into a drain. You can use a towel to absorb water and then put the towel in the wet towel hamper. (If you bathed in a bathing costume or your garment, you probably want to go to a private area, take off the bathing costume or dismiss the garment, and then dry off and dress in your garment, which when resummoned will be dry. If you borrowed a bathing costume there is another laundry bin for it, but Conrad didn't.) You can use hot air to make the water evaporate, but you should be careful to not heat the room too much or be too loud about it.

Doing the hot air thing seems easiest, but he does want to practice Waterworking. He will work the water off of him and his clothes and into the drain! At least, near the drain – his accuracy is so-so. The water does not splash everywhere, though.

Luckily, the floor is gently sloped such that water that is placed near the drain tends to end up in it.

We love good engineering!!

Conrad will now go to the library using Cumin's directions. Does she follow?
