I think it’s expected that you just stay outside.

[ sierra does finally pull away from his arm so she can look around, careful not to go poking into the men’s bath despite all signs pointing to her not giving a shit. she isn’t a hypocrite, of course, but she does look like a genuine young lady when she’s exploring.

hm, hmm… ]


Come here and help me take an inventory of things we yet need!

[ when she opens her mouth again, though, it’s pretty obvious she’s just a crone. ]

It’s so empty.

[ the divider between the baths isn’t that big, so she doesn’t have to raise her voice too much, but she thinks that this might be a problem as well. maybe a brick wall will do the trick. ]

Reim! [ no stuttering this time, at least. ] As I said, we need statues.

[ there is, briefly, the sound of sierra hopping as if to try to look over the divider—furthermore, as if she doesn’t realize how short she is in comparison to most of the town. ]

We’ll also need to [ hop ] fortify this, of course.

I’m checking how tall it is.

[ obviously.

sierra’s fingers do manage to poke over the top of the divider if she stretches and steps on her tiptoes, which definitely means it’s no good in addition to merely being flimsy. ]


This simply won’t do.

The hot water is a good start, and it is very cute, but we have much work to do.

[ reim has much work to do. ]

Look at it this way. You can take a bath as soon as you’ve finished all that labor.

You could, but surely you respect our professional arrangement too much to take a bath during working hours…

[ she’s already petty. ]

[ it’s more dumb, largely because sierra is still standing on her tip-toes without really thinking about why. ]

You had two whole weeks without me! I can’t fathom why you would be complaining about getting back to work now.

[ sierra finds herself smiling at his comment, despite the sass of it all, and she’s grateful that there’s a piece of wood keeping them separate. ]

Enjoy it while it lasts. I’ll punish you next time.

Keep close, will you? The heat might make me faint.

[ it sounds like some stupid ploy to keep him nearby, but really, after getting cold last month, she isn’t taking her chances with the temperature of things. ]

[ it’s just a test bath, in any case. as much as she does, perhaps foolishly because of her heart, trust reim, she isn’t ready to be caught in a compromising position by someone who might muscle past him in their eagerness.

all she ends up doing is soaking her legs, and that’s enough to satisfy her. the water is fine. they need a million other things.

she’s back out of the baths shortly, looking exactly the same as ever, except her hair is just a bit damp from the steam and she’s carrying her socks and shoes. ]


It’s a start.

[personal profile] regrede 2019-01-01 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha. What if I asked you to carry me?

[ she is not above it, unfortunately, though she might be this time simply because it’s not that much of a hassle to get those socks and shoes back on. if she had some luggage, that might be a different story. ]

[personal profile] regrede 2019-01-01 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Shall we try?

[ true to form, now that she’s asked, it’s hard to tell if this was her plan all along or if she’s following a slightly malicious sense of whimsy.

she does, at least, start to pull her socks back on. look, she’s listening. ]
