As much as she might not believe it, it had not been his intention to walk in on her in the bath. A moment of boredom leading him to her room where the sound of water had attracted his attention. Well you know what they say, curiosity kills the liepard, and were he any less close to his Elite 4 comrades she’d have every right to slap him across the face.
“I had wondered where you ran off to when you weren’t beneath any of your pillows.” And yes, he’d looked through them all, though he shrugs that off, unwinding the scarf from his neck and removing the various layers of clothing without much prompting. Obvious that this wasn’t the first time such a thing had happened. “It seems as though everyone has found ways of busying themselves in the lull of challengers.”
Against his skin the water is warm, sliding into the opposite end of the tub and positioning his legs well out of her way, in an attempt to navigate through the bubbles.
“Dear, if you hadn’t intended to find me like this, I’m not sure what you had been expecting. The bath was clearly running. As for the others-- I heard something about manuscript reading. I had wondered what Shaunty was up to all that time-- I hadn’t expected her to be writing porn.” Without much thought, she tugs her knees to her chest, blowing some of the bubbles away from her mouth for the sake of not getting soap in her mouth. “Then again, you know I don’t mind the company.”
This had been more for the sake of relaxing than anything else-- warm water was nice and the rose-scented bubble bath was nicer still. At least it’s not enough to make her fall asleep. “You also don’t have to be so far away.”
