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

[iheardarumor]

Sumeragi, I would not have so many names if I were particularly fond of any of them.

Though there is one that I shall always return to now that I can recall it.

Isaiah.

[soundsinsilence]

Some people collect names for more reasons than that . . .

Are you . . . you're not a prophet, are you?

[iheardarumor]

A prophet? No.

A priest once, but please don't compare me to someone who would bring others to their tomb without even a song to lead the false dance and celebration.

[soundsinsilence]

[Shakes her head, folding her arms over her legs.]

I won't. It's just a good name.

Can I call you Isaiah? Or would Scorpion be better?

[iheardarumor]

The first is all too similar to another's name here. Scorpion is more than sufficient.

[soundsinsilence]

Whose name?

[iheardarumor]

The one who calls himself Pecha.

[waves a hand dismissively, leaning back into the bath.]

[soundsinsilence]

[Tilts her head a little, curious, but there's no overt recognition at the name.]

If that's what you'd like. Scorpion . . . mm! That's introductions, then.

[iheardarumor]

So what is it that you wanted to ask of me?

[soundsinsilence]

I was asking you not to cut your hair in the baths. Remember?

You're going to have it sticking all over you when you get out.

[iheardarumor]

... ah.

Hair is a part of oneself. It's not as though it is not clean after this.

Though, if you also think of it another way, isn't having so much hair on your head more disgusting, since it is only dead pieces of yourself?

[soundsinsilence]

No?

You're definitely not going to be clean sitting in dirty bath water though.

[iheardarumor]

[. . . the more you say it, the grosser he feels. :/

looking at the bath water]

I suppose I've grown used to worse conditions.

[soundsinsilence]

[That's because it is kind of gross . . . ]

It's okay, I mean . . . there's always next time? You'll be able to have a nice clean bath eventually, definitely . . .

[iheardarumor]

I'll admit, I was single-mindedly focused on having fresh water at all.

[soundsinsilence]

Been a while?

Mm, that's . . . really understandable.

[iheardarumor]

Such a long time.

My next goal was to inspect those windows I spotted.

[soundsinsilence]

This is the third floor. They're all along the south wall—on the floor above, they wrap almost half way around, and there's two stores of them.

The floor above that, goes right onto the roof, so you can stand below the open sky, if you want.

[iheardarumor]

... the sky?

[soundsinsilence]

It's a nice day out. Still a bit cool, but the snow's all melted . . . I'm sure we could find extra clothes if you wouldn't be dressed for it.

[iheardarumor]

Snow?

[weather does happen here!]

... I do poorly in the cold, but so long as the sun is warm, I should weather it well enough.

[soundsinsilence]

You aren't the only one. There's a lot of people here not used to it . . . the dragons on the first floor, too. They don't do so well.

Want me to show you the way?

[iheardarumor]

If you do not mind having such a rude person for company.

[soundsinsilence]

Doesn't that go both ways?
