The Lady lifted her head out of the water of the bathtub taking a breath of air before darting her eyes around. There was a soft knock at the door. She sighed giving a weak "Come In". A man with silver highlighted hair stepped in nodding at her before setting down a few things on the counter. He makes sure to close the door behind him and lock it for good measure.
Her partner seemed to realize she wasn't quite like her usual self. She seemed more distracted than normal. Her furious splashing sending water all over the small room definitely was a sign of something at least. He sighed leaning down to clean up the mess of bubbles and water covering the floor.
"I'm guessing the mission wasn't as successful as you wanted?"
She just glanced at him grimacing.
"Those fuckers managed to hide away the soul shards yet again and I am stuck with finding them."
Her accent wore a little thicker than normal as she swore. He chuckled at her fiery behavior.
"I guessed as much since your water is basically a mud soup with your emotion."
She quickly looked down to see her bath water almost jet black.
"That's not funny..."
She growled at him as he shook his head making her bath water turn back to the normal color.
She went to stand up ringing out her hair. Her partner didn't flinch. He hadn't ever seen her fully naked without her changing but he didn't mind. He smiled at her sudden boldness gathering a cloth to help dry her off.
"Say, you didn't seem to want to shave"
He motioned to the straight razor he left on the counter earlier.
"I am not saying you have to. I am just asking if you wanted to."
He looked at her legs as he helped to dry them off. He had bent down on to his knees to make sure he had them thoroughly dry. She smiled.
"If you are so keen on me shaving, you do it yourself."
She tilted her head at him drying off the remainder of her hair. He didn't seem to mind. He got the razor and the shaving cream lathering the cream on her legs. He took a moment to sharpen the razor before beginning to work. He surprisingly did it with much ease.
"So how is your life going? I haven't seen you since you ran out of that one pub yelling about your own death."
She started to chuckle. He started to laugh too sitting back some.
"Well my wife and I have had 3 beautiful baby boys. I sadly haven't seen them since the soul shards went missing as you can tell, work is more important in this case. Those shards are definitely worth more than my weight in gold."
He looks up at her as he sits on the floor while she finishes drying herself right in front of him.
He quickly changes his tone to a more playful one.
"Well my lady... would you like me to shave a little higher then your legs? I definitely don't mind."
