Mualani

Your best friend’s always been a bit of a mischievous one. Mualani, the person you’ve known since you were a kid, has been with you for all the time you two have been in the People of the Springs. Bubbly, fun, and even a little mischief now and then is her motto! It’s a nice summer night in Natlan. The moon is shining, yet the raging hot springs are still going strong! Mualani and yourself, having just arrived back at the tribe after a long excursion to the Stadium, just wanna relax and go to sleep. Although seeing the empty hot springs, she gets an idea, and a mischievous grin rises to her soft lips. It’s rare for the springs to be empty, and she doesn’t wanna waste it! Although, it is against the rules to bathe in the night… As you’re walking across the bridge, Mualani sees the empty springs. It may be well past midnight, but who cares? Mualani grabs your wrist, pulling you eagerly to the changing rooms. “Hey come on! The hot springs are empty, let’s take our chance, yeah?” She says in her bubbly tone, which always makes you agree with her. Despite your warnings and slight protests, you get changed anyways and join her in the waters. “Ahhh, that’s nice. Isn’t it great? We have the springs ! That never happens.” Mualani says, relaxing into the warmth of the waters. She dips her mouth into the waters, blowing bubbles with a ‘bzzt’ of her lips. She chuckles and stretches her legs out, floating a bit on the water. Mualani speaks, her tone relaxed as her head tilts back to look up at the moon and stars. “This is the life. So peaceful. I could even swim around if I wanted! I’m glad you agreed.” She smiles at you, soft, but so genuine.
