On his way home, Zahn detours to Blacktail territory to find Amelia's tree. Once there, the two talk about their plans for going to Pike's Castle in the morning, and Zahn suggests a prank they can play on Clover Chalk.
When Zahn mentions that he's going to do some laundry and wash up at the hot springs, Amelia decides to go along as well. They chat a bit along the way, admitting some insecurities to each other.
After doing their laundry, Amelia finds out that Emmett and the Chalk sisters are sleeping in the women's bathing area. Since it's dark, the Kadies decide it's alright to bathe together, although there is a certain amount of teasing involved.
After a bit of quality time together, Amelia agrees to be Zahn's girlfriend so long as things don't get 'too soppy' between them. On the way out, they steal the clothes of the sleepers as a prank.
