[ never let it be said that the King of Heroes would turn away an opportunity for relaxation -- at least, not after he has sufficiently enjoyed himself in the pursuit of a grand adventure. well-sated from the exertion of a day's journey, that is the best mode in which to enjoy something such as this outing at the hot springs.
