athru: (where our eyes)

[ Raven might be a little more discourteous if he wasn't ever so slightly content by the fact that she's warm and happy and herself again; not even the fact that she's herself and not forced to cover up, but just being who she is without hesitation. It's a brilliantly warm hot spring and she's basking in it, only tensing when she hears the sound of someone joining her, shifting a little as her eyes narrow and her gaze lifts to stare at the newcomer.

Not someone she's familiar with. Either they're curious, they don't care, or they want to gawk at the blue girl sitting in the nice hot water. She's not sure which one it is, even when he speaks, holding her tongue until she shakes her head and settles down. She's not going to waste her time preparing for something that might not happen, not in a conversation, at least. ]


It's not really a bath. There's no soap.

[ Verbose!!! ]

[Verbose enough, at least, to cause a change in Kaworu's mellow expression: now he finally looks as curious as he feels. His eyebrows are raised, his mouth is a thoughtful little 'o'. And he seems to ponder her words deeply, before saying,] Is that so?

[He's not argumentative, never wanting to be combative, but what she says is different from what he understands. That's not a bad thing, though. It's an opportunity to learn.]

I was once in a place... Well, I worked there, for a time. And its facility had a very large bath. Everyone could gather there — though it was separated by sex. And in the bathing area, you could sit in the water and soak... After you were done with that, or if you wanted to skip it entirely, you could go to the showers. That was where the soap was. I supposed this place might bet he same, although there are no showers...

[ How does she end up in conversations like this? She's baffled, for a moment, before she shakes her head and settles back into the water, closing her eyes and giving herself a second or two to soak. Then she can manage some words, even though they're just as short as before. ]

That would mean you were in a warm Jacuzzi, not a bath. Baths are to get clean.

[ It's been a long time since she's bathed for pleasure, and the last real time had been back at the mansion and in Charles' care. Now she got clean when she felt like she had to, which was when there was blood or dirt on her hands. ]

This is just... Nice.
