The water warmed from chilly to a comfortable temperature, a refreshing balm to sore muscles she didn't realize she had as she sank into its deeper water.

"Ahhh..."

It wasn't hot like her baths in the forest. It was cool on her skin like swimming in the summer, without leaving her frigid when exposed to the air. Like magic.
