[Oh no, the sticky, lavender thing is cute and Ochako is instantly charmed by it, which washes away much of her reservations as to what the implications are of it bathing in a hot spring and potentially gumming the water up with its...slime?? Mucus??? She doesn't really know, but now it's not as much a big deal. In fact, it kind of reminds Ochako of Mina's Acid Man attack.

She smiles at it, then presses her hands together and looks a bit sheepishly at it's, uhh...owner? Master?? Is this thing maybe this man's familiar?]

Uwaah...cute. I-I mean!! Ehehe...are you set on using the baths here? Um, i-it's fine, I might have taken a wrong turn anyway.
