[Well that . . . changes bath plans.]

Ahh . . . you're new here, aren't you?

The baths here . . . you need to wash off before you get in, not after. That's why there's the buckets and stools over there, see?

[iheardarumor]

. . . is that how it works?

[not getting out to remedy this. just continuing to snip at his hair.]

[soundsinsilence]

Yep.

[Aaaand reaching out to close her hand around the joint of the scissors and. stop that.]

Please do that outside the bath, okay? I'll even help, if you'd like.

[iheardarumor]

[freezing and staaaaring at that hand.]

... it's very rude to touch someone's tools without warning.

[soundsinsilence]

It's just as rude to continue using them when you've been asked to stop.

[Lets go.]

You're really new here.

[iheardarumor]

But one runs a greater risk, don't you think?

[sniiiiip goes the scissors as he continues to ignore the request, only setting the scissors aside but close at hand when he is done.]

And I've been here quite a while.

[soundsinsilence]

[Half shrugs, attention . . . focused, now, even if she doesn't seem to be looking intently.]

Everything here is a risk.

If I ask . . . you'll just say you're fine, won't you?

[iheardarumor]

I've had a very difficult time of things, actually.

[soundsinsilence]

But nothing you want to talk about?

[iheardarumor]

Not to one I've not even had a proper introduction.

[soundsinsilence]

[Sits down beside the scissors.]

Probably not even then though, right?

Sumeragi. Sumeragi Kururu.

[iheardarumor]

[noting that placement but doesn't seem too disturbed by it]

I've many names. The most recent being Scorpion.

[soundsinsilence]

Most recent doesn't mean it's the one you like best. Or even the one you have to use.

[followthewind]

Y'don't have to be so polite to him. Just tell 'im to get his ass outta there and do it properly.

[soundsinsilence]

Raven . . . ?

Is he someone you know?

[followthewind]

Yo, Kururu.

Isaiah of Ophiuchus. A priest. I ran shit for him a lot.

[soundsinsilence]

I wondered if it was something like that. He sounds . . . a bit like it.

[followthewind]

Bit like what? His way of actin' kinda gives it away, but it's different.

He's from the games.

[soundsinsilence]

And . . . from the stone.

That part . . . it's not hard to tell.

[followthewind]

. . .

[he doesn't have to say anything for her to hear how much he just tensed up. Glances at Isaiah with a frown]

[soundsinsilence]

Like Grandfater. How he was in my dreams.

[Rubs her arm, chilled despite the warmth of the room.]

Ahh, it's probably not so bad, so long as this only once. It's just bathwater.

[followthewind]

[shudders briefly, then shakes himself out of it]

Don't let him off so easily . . .

[soundsinsilence]

I think he's a little bit disgusted by it now, actually . . .

[followthewind]

Good

[soundsinsilence]

No bath for you either now?
