Noah settled in the tub with her after stripping down and kindly placing his pants folded onto the stack of their things. She understood his attitude when it came to dirty clothes, but she often did laundry for them, or had done so since being married and while he was injured previously. It was one thing to have clothes be somewhat dirty via their own wear and tear, it was another because someone threw it on the ground. While the floor looked somewhat clean, who really knew in the dimmed light?

The settling into the water was nice. It was hot and took some swirling of her leg to get it even in temperature, but eventually was manageable. Once Noah had settled into the water with her, she didn't take but a moment to completely lean backwards and begin the soak of her hair. The light brown, now colored darker, almost looked pitch black as the wetness and dim light of the room prevailed. While it was black, Elann and her light, creamy, sunkissed skin seemed to stand out in a way he had never seen. The flickers of light on her eyes from the candles danced upon her in ways never before done. It was the first bath she had ever taken in the evening since meeting with him, and thus the first time he had ever seen her both wet and in the light of the candles. Such a small difference would seem inconsequential to most people, but to Noah, that difference could mean more. 

As it was, Elann was focused first on getting clean, using the dry rags hung nearby to clean herself in the soapy water. While it felt good, she had yet to relax. Her eyes trailed to Noah, who just sat there in his soothed form and she brought a cleaned foot to drape over his crossed legs. It was a temporary move as her foot slipped away again, almost as if calling him to ask what he was doing. Elann normally wasn't one to touch others with her feet or enjoy her feet being touched. To her, they were unclean, but given the bath, it was a mute point.

"What are you thinking about?"

Elann went about gently soaking her face by placing water in her hands and rising them to her cheeks as she awaited his attention.
