[b]Clay[/b] had just slipped into a steaming warm bath when he heard the ruckus at his door. 

[i]Clay? It's Alex. Can I come in?[/i]

The hot water soothed his aching muscles as it seeped into his skin, the air above now grew increasingly chilly by comparison. There was no way he was getting out of the warm water. 
Soft faint slithers of red swirled around on the ripples of his body before fading into nothingness against the larger volume of water.

He held his breath for a moment as he contemplated remaining silent but with a heavy sigh he eventually replied. 

[b]"If you must, but know that I'm not decent and that's unlikely to change."[/b]

His voice, although tired, held the usual tormenting, sarcastic and defiant undertones. After that he grumbled something to himself that Alex couldn't quite hear, it was probably for the best.

Alex rolled her eyes and chuckled, opening the door and silently closing it behind her. "I came to bring an extra blanket for you from the storeroom." She turned toward the open bathroom door and noticed Clay sinking into a steaming bath. "But it seems that you already have a way to keep yourself warm." She gave him a slight sneer before setting her blanket and the one she brought fro Clay down at the foot of the bed and pulled a chair around to the edge of the bathroom door frame. 

She sat against the chair, crossing her arms over the back and resting her chin on her forearm. Cocking her head to the side and giving Clay a sly smile she asked, "Comfortable?"
