A few days on the sea have left you feeling in need of a nice, long bath. You decide to start with a trip to the bathhouse, and invite Snap to tag along, but the seadog seems to have other matters to attend to.
 
Snap: “Err… you go. This one will meet again later. Need help, ask anyone, yes?”
 
You nod and thank her for the hospitality, then your party heads south and across the bridge to the guest islet. In comparison to the other districts of the village, this area is much quieter, with only a seadog or two around to keep watch. It seems that you are the only guests here, after all.
 
The warm air welcomes you and your friends inside the bathhouse, where your hoofsteps echo through an otherwise vacant room. A large, steaming pool beckons to you from the centre of the wooden floorboards, and colourful towels decorate the flame-lit walls.
 
With your belongings safely piled up in a corner, you slip into the soothing hot freshwater, and soon begin to relax.
 
As you let the water loosen up your muscles and wash the salt out of your hair, Moonflower begins to recount all of your adventures to Apple Basket. All in great, juicy detail, no less…
 
Moonflower: “… and that’s when you came back and joined us on our quest. And then you know the rest!”
 
Apple Basket: “Hooie! To think y’all helped so many ponies, and ended up havin’ that much fun along the way. Ain’t like the chores I’m used to, tell you what, but I reckon I know the risks now.”
 
Moonflower: “Heehee! Yuh uh, it’s super excitin’! I think the ol’ bat pony clans could learn a lot from us, too.”
 
After drying yourselves off and brushing your manes in style, you feel rejuvenated, and ready to move on. But where to, next?
