[Wow, he was almost recovered but the completely incoherent reply from the water sets him off again, so Anon is left trying to wipe tears of mirth and master himself again even as he also completely refuses to stop watching Natsuno back even though it really isn't helping his anything right now. He's almost as red as Natsuno from laughing at this point.

Eventually (very eventually, probably a little bit after Natsuno's already gone back to his wall and winging life in there), he does manage to calm down enough that he could probably manage full sentences. Maybe. Maybe they could also continue to communicate in flailing and half-choking noises, who knows.

And the first thing he says?]

Mm, well, I'm not. Sorry, that is.

[Because of course it is. It's all cheek and cheer, Anon having settled into a cross-legged sit that's all curled over himself because like, damn, that was a workout first thing in the morning, but at least it also means that if anyone walks in his hair can mostly prevent him from flashing them. Progress!

The grin on his face as he peers over at the onsen is both amused and fond. And also still about two steps from losing out to laughter again, because what kind of wet cat-bird is this.]

But you should come back out here! It's a little cold, and I mean, I could follow you in there, too, but I'm not sure that would help.

[That's definitely cheeky. And he's probably joking, but do you really want to risk it.]
