PM to join Awkward Moments (Sha'kar)

[Ana Sol Starris]

Spring 27th, 513AV Asra's Bath House Just sink in, and relax- Ana.. Just.. Relax.. Too much stress, a nice bath will clear things up.. How long has it been since I've had one? A rather tired Ana thought to herself as she undressed in one of the marble styled changing rooms, shedding clothes, and weapons to grace her tomboyish figure with a soft towel. Upon first entering the bath house, Ana had payed a five silver miza'd fee just to use the location; and though the thief might have complained about the price before, she was tired, and she needed a bath desperately so she shoved her insecurities up her butt and cloaked her pride shamefully. For having of been in Spires for a long while, it was astounding that she was still rather embarresed over being naked around other people. Comical, maybe. Nudity was such a normal thing for the people there, at least Ana had learned to look past it when it concerned other people, though she was still quite bashful over herself. With a reluctant sigh, she placed her items within a cabinent (items being not very valuable, she had only brought the easily concealed dagger, some spare change, and- well, clothes) and then made her way to the central chamber. Looking above to the skys that were so clear today, the building itself was a marvelous piece of architecture and art, inside was no different. Many statues adorned the place, amongst potted plants, and flowers that smelled heavenly to Ana. For just five silver mizas- Ana was impressed, and now somewhat happy to pay that amount. Getting to see the inside was a treat in itself, and already she could feel her worries slipping away as she went to the edge of the large bath. It was huge, at least ten times bigger than the hotsprings back in Sunberth, and much more.. Serene. Ana glanced about as she would sit on the edge and put her legs into the water, it was warm, luke-warm to be exact, but it still sent shivers up her body as she sunk herself in to waist deep. Going anything deeper would have made her start to panick, due to her fear of water that she couldn't touch the bottom in, and still have her head up above the liquidy depths of terror and fear. Slowly she walked towards the shallower end of the bathing pool, the towel still very much wrapped around her body. Thats why she had brought a second one with her to dry off afterwards. Expences-5sm for use of bath, being a foreigner

Sha had been in the Bath House for awhile, it was so clean and neat, one of the few occasions he was in such a place. He had cash to burn and areas to clean so what better place than a bathhouse. He was currently testing how long he could hold his breath underwater when a women approached him. Covered in a towel in the bath, how odd it was to see this. She kept getting closer, and seeing as Sha didn't want her to bump into him he decided to make his presence known. He popped out of the water, creating a small amount of waves. He was clearly devoid of a towel or any other sort of covering. His happy mood clearly displayed by the goofy grin spreading from cheek to cheek over his face. "Hello," he said in his usual raspy voice, his smile going away as he remembered the fact that she was wearing a towel. "Why are you wearing a towel," he said in a longer sentence than he was accustomed to,the dialogue causing him to rub his throat. Odd he thought that women like this would be covering up in a bath, it was a bath, somewhere where he thought people would feel more open.

The farther she walked to the shallow end, the closer she got to a rather disconcerting image underneath the water making bubbles. Her face pulled itself back into an inconcievably disgusted stare, eyebrow raising ever so slightly as she inched to the side to make a pass around the thing in the water (that looked like a person.) Holding the towel to her person ever tighter, she was just about to pass the person when they suddenly shot up from the water. Giving her reason to flounder, step backwards as waves would push her back, and then spaz- terribly at the suddenness that was the mans entrance. She stared at him in surprise, at first, which slowly gave way to irritation. It was an Eypharian, from what she could tell due to the four arms attached to his body, she remembered those.. people.. very well. In fact, she had stolen two perfume bottles back in Spires from an Eypharian woman a season past, both man and woman had gold sheened skin. Making the djed within churn about, a temptation rearing its ugly head at her as sweet whispers urged her to take the gold sheen for her own. She stared at him for a moment more, before her cheeks began to burn terribly, her body temperature elevating as he asked her why she was wearing a towel. Her eyes travelled downwards for but a moment, before returning to his eyes and scoffing at him "and why are you not?" She chided at him horribly, in response she crossed her free arm across the arm which was holding her own towel still up, the hand clenching around the material. Fools.. The lot of them. Being in the water was making her feel edgy, wary, there had once been a time when she took a bath, actually, three different times when she had taken it upon herself to keep up with her hygeine. Once had been with Revy, though that was long ago, once upon a time in a city called Sunberth, in that very same city she had decided to take another bath- it would be her last that day. Having of gotten kicked out for cat fighting with another patron, it was a pity that she never saw Jean again after that, that horrible red-head. The third time, well- it was quite unexpected, she had been forced to wash a Zith Crimson Edge member when the gang was still very much together. To her it seemed a cruel play of fate by Lhex, forever destined to have bath adventures. "Excuse me," she growled, moving forwards once more quite aggravated by his presence. Ana still needed to get to shallower water, or as shallow as the bath had been created to be, and for Ana- there didn't seem to be much of a difference from what she could tell where she was currently at.

Sha looked at the women, her reaction being the opposite of what he had expected. She snapped at him, before trying to pass. Her mood clearly not on the good side of the spectrum. She seemed on edge from the way she moved and acted, and he couldn't help but feel like he had cause part of this irritation. "I don't because I don't care what others thank," his voice seeming to lose breath towards the end as he rubbed his throat to keep the pain down. "I'm sorry," he said as he placed his upper right hand on her shoulder. The first women he actually talked to in this city and he was already off to a bad start. He was here to make allies, not anger those who met him. Hopefully this would end well, hopefully it would end without him getting hurt, or the women.

[Ana Sol Starris]

"Well I do," Ana muttered as she continued to wade through the water, past the giant of an Eypharian and went to sink in close to the edge with her chin just above the water. She didn't want to stay in this place for too long, no matter how amazing the bath house seemed to be, her nerves just wouldn't relax enough for her to enjoy the bath- if she stayed too long. Shutting her eyes, she focused on the heat of the water instead of the liquid itself, trying to look past the depths, and relax. Relax. The past events of the season had been semi unnerving, and she was pretty sure now that giving Zand space had been a terrible mistake- it only set them further apart with each passing moment. Ana peeked open a eye as she heard the sound of water being displaced, a 'thing' was coming at her, and it was that petchable Eypharian too. "What do you want?" Ana snapped at him, expecting some form of retribution to come upon her head in the form of verbal responses. Standing once more to wade away, she felt as if perhaps this would be.. another exerpt of bath adventures, gods, why? Why couldn't people just leave her alone long enough to think properly? Just give her a petching break for once.

[Sha'kar]

"Sorry," Sha said again as she began to wade away. Making amends was harder than he thought. The women wanted nothing to do with the Eyph, but he couldn't just let her state deteriorate anymore. She had already seemed on edge before Sha had caused her more trouble. This was odd though, Sha apologizing, a rare thing indeed. He was also speaking more than he cared to. If he could calm this women down even a bit she may make a good friend, no friends were close, a good acquaintance. She was odd, and now that he thought about she probably simply wished to relax, something Sha wasn't letting her do. "Foolish," Sha said as he looked down at his reflection in the water after realizing his folly. He was being foolish again, he had been a fool during that fight, and now he was being a fool in front of woman. She probably had a deep dislike of him even from the very short span that the conversation had been held in. Yet he still tried to wade after her, making himself looking even more like a fool.

[Ana Sol Starris]

This guy... Ana snarled inwardly, displaying her annoyance quite clearly on her face as she smacked at the water to splash the fool away from herself. What had she done to be so enticing that he would follow after her like a lost puppy? There were no insults, no scathing attitudes, no superiority that had seem to come with an Eypharians personality- none. Whatsoever. It was as if the stereotype Nasrin had presented of her race- noble, proud, and arrogant, back in Spires didn't even exist. Instead of wading away, she crawled out of the bath to sit on the floor sopping wet, glaring at him, gritting her teeth as she continued to avoid his presence. "Whats your problem?" Her voice seemed to go a few octaves higher than normal, before twitching, some other patrons had turned their heads to look at the commotion beginning to start. "Urk.." she turned her head to look back at the Eypharian, sitting on her butt, and leaning forwards somewhat- she had to play this right. Ana puffed her bottom lip up, tilted her chin inwards, and gave the Eypharian the sweetest eyes she could muster- and in as equally sweet voice.. Though it might have sounded more like nails scratching against cobblestone "will you back off a bit? You're making me nervous, getting close like that.. Geez.." It was... It was an attempt to be nice, and keep her cool. The patience she had for dolts like this was very little.

[Sha'kar]

Sha looked at the people, of course a commotion in a public place would pull some wandering eyes to it, but it wouldn't end badly would it? The women's distaste was clear and fluently shown, clearly she knew how to show emotion. The women may or may not have been surprised by the way he acted, how he hadn't been high and mighty in his own mind and had even called himself foolish. This stemming from his dislike of most of race. She climbed out of the water and sat down, glaring at him before beginning an odd act. Trying to appear as innocent and adorable as possible, the effect slightly pushed aside by her voice at that moment. The thing she said caused his face to grow red for a moment before he turned around. Taking two steps forward before going under the water in a low crouch. She clearly didn't have much patience for the Eyph, he could see why seeing how nervous he would be in a situation like this. Hopefully after a moment or two a calm conversation would follow. Where he may or may not gain an associate. It all depended on what happened in the next few moments.

[Ana Sol Starris]

The Eypharian was aggravating, not only did he not respond but he also turned his back to her. Ana's 'shy girl' demeanor crumbled to be replaced with an agitated glare shooting daggers at the Eypharian's back, just staring at him, until she broke the gaze to shiver and look at the water- funnily enough, longingly. Getting out of the warm water was an awful idea and she hadn't come there just to stare at it, so she sank back in- seethingly, and slowly. Petch this Eypharian.. Petch.. Petch.. Petch.. She inhaled, and sank lower into the water to let her nose bubble with an exhaled breath. Maybe she should just ignore him, pretend like he wasn't there at all- since he did not have the courtesy to speak with her and explain himself. So thats exactly what she did, in disregard to his presence she began to wash the dirt and oil away that had clung onto her skin. Dipping her head in for a few moments, rubbing her fingers into her scalp and shaking the blonde strands of their grease and grime. Ana had her back to the wall so the towel she had gotten in with would stay up on her body, and not fall down- as they seemed to have a habit of doing. Lifting her head up, she shook her head about and rubbed water away from her darkly circled eyes, it hadn't taken more than a chime to go through the process. Dunking her head back in, this time she began to rub furiously at her face, holding her breath still, and then releasing a breath into the water as she came back up for air again. Like a mutt, she shook her head a second time, sending watery droplets of mayhem everywheres around her. Looking past short locks which had been growing milimeter by milimeter as the season went on, she was shocked to see the... Eypharian was still there. STILL THERE. Ana shot up from the water and splashed him, smacking her hand into the water to send a small jet of water to land on him. "What do you want?!" Ana hissed, staring at him before a thought finally clicked into her head "don't tell me..." The surprise gave way to disgust quickly "you're looking for a quick petch, aren't ya? Well I ain't doing that stuff, so petch off-" she growled harshly at him, it had to be the reason as to why he was still there... It just seemed so... Logical.

[Sha'kar]

Sha looked at the woman, his head tilted to the side. Who was this women, making such a scene. Was she trying to ruin his image, trying to ruin how he appeared to those within the bathhouse. Sha laughed, "As if I would try with you, you khur-va." He smiled believing the woman wouldn't know the meaning of the saying and simply flood out more anger. The situation had already gone to hell, now he would have fun instead of trying to salvage it. If it ended well, he would be fine with it, if it ended with the women being angered beyond return he would also be fine with it. Who knew, maybe this would turn out well, whether in his favor or the womens.
