[i]Plip... Plop...[/i] The sound of water dripping into a basin echoed throughout a large sunlit and steam filled stone room. [color=92278f]"Mmm..."[/color] The soft murmur of a woman's voice filled the room, followed quickly by the sound of a body slipping into water. Raven colored hair broke the surface of the water after a few moments, enhanced by the deep black orbs that opened only seconds after. A strange feeling passed over the woman's body, pulling a shiver from her even though she lay resting in fairly hot water. 

A sigh passed over her lips as her hands ran through her dark tresses, pulling them back into a low ponytail before she finally laid her back against the interior of the basin. 

Just as she was finally relaxing, a voice reached her, calling out her name. Even though she was a bit irritated about having her relaxation interrupted, she found herself smiling before calling back. [color=92278f]"Just a second."[/color] As she spoke, Kurohana lifted her body from the water, and grabbed a towel that lay on a stool not too far from her. Just as she was wrapping the cloth around her body she heard the door open, and soon found her eyes resting upon her husband's face. Her head tilted as if she hadn't heard the knock on the door, but try as she might she couldn't seem to feign any form of anger at him.

[color=92278f]"So the cycles are shifting again? Hm. I wonder what's caused it this time."[/color] She spoke softly, walking toward her counterpart. That explained the shiver she'd felt only moments prior, if she had been focusing on it she might've been able to feel more. Maybe. When she reached Zume, her dark orbs locked with his, but the room remained silent.
