The Lap of Luxury

The British Empire never fell. Steam powered technology continued to advance. Zeppelins won out over airplanes. Mutants are considered second-class citizens by the empire and many resort to piracy to survive. These mutant pirates are hunted not only by the military, but also by a zealous religious order known as The Purifiers.

The Lap of Luxury

Postby Nailah Weaver » Wed Oct 19, 2011 4:39 pm

A couple days after Nailah's (tolerated) theft and escape from the Emerald Crow Morrigan would find the goblet the sphinx stole sitting on a table, obviously placed there to be noticed. Of course the red-head probably would have noticed the woman's presence on the ship anyway but hey, it's all part of being a good-natured annoyance. Leaning against the goblet is a note reading: 'I borrowed some water, hope you don't mind.'

The Morrigan shook her head as she spied the goblet.

"They always come back if you feed them," she murmured, casting a glance about.

Nailah isn't anywhere to be seen, though there's a suspicious flicker of light coming from under one the bathroom door.

The Morrigan quirked a brow and approached the door, listening carefully.

There's the sound of splashing water every once in a while as well as a faint humming of some kind of chanty-like melody.

The Morrigan stepped in with a smirk on her face.

"Suppose you didn't jest when you said you could grow accustomed to this."

The room is lit by a whole bunch of candles and has the sphinx lounging in the bathtub. Judging by the smell in the room she found the bath-oils. She looks at Morrigan with bit of an impudent grin on her face. "Do you know how hard it is to have a decent bath out there? Figured you'd allow yourself the luxury of having your own and I was right!"

"Big as the boiler is on this barge, we can have a few luxuries, aye?"

"Though I see you've availed yourself of what I last picked up in Paris."

"I get bored easily..." she says with the appropriate amount of absentmindedness, raising part of her leg out of the water.

"Oh, certainly not! I just dare quite a bit cause o' boredom and you've been very indulgent. Hope you at least didn' tell yer crew about me." she chuckles.

"Oh that's not what I meant." she waves it off. "But you planning me is how it starts. Next thing you know there's a second towel. Then I figure it'd be convenient to have a brush here and it's all downhill from there."

"It's cold out of the water!" she complains, though after a moment of lingering in the water she does get up with little shame before wrapping herself in a towel.
