Hot Springs!

[Wirt jerks awake at about two in the morning. His plan had been to stay up for most of the night so he could attempt to get to the hot springs at an odd hour when no one else would be around. This wound up being more difficult than he expected though. He hasn't been able to find a book yet that wasn't written in Japanese, and after a certain hour there isn't a lot left to do other than soak in the hot spring or try to sleep. He was able to keep himself entertained for a little while by sitting up and leaning against the wall, and looking out the window. He watched the scenery outside and tried to remember poetry from memory, and once everyone else fell asleep, he quietly whispered his own verses under his breath.

Unfortunately, even with the moonlight shining on him, he still managed to nod off against the wall and he wakes up with a soft gasp. He didn't want to fall asleep but...it has to be the middle of the night now, right? It doesn't really register that the reason no one is up and about is because half of the room is up and wandering around. He just sleepily assumes that they're all asleep and calls it a victory for the overly paranoid. He slips on his slippers and reties his yukata so it's tight and secure (however, it is wrapped backwards with the right side over left because he keeps mixing it up) and heads down to the hot spring.

He's cautious as he can be when he slides the door open and passes through the wash area to see if there's -- oh my gosh there's someone there at two in the morning. Wirt doesn't even really look to see who it is; he just scrambles to hide behind a nearby dividing wall. Maybe...maybe no one saw him?
