Victoria peeked behind her when the door opened, and she saw Vail let himself in. He didn’t knock but that didn’t bother her. He was welcome in her room. She smiled at his presence and settle back down further into the hot water, surrounded by flower petals to give her that sweet fragrance. She then heard his footsteps enter the washroom. The air was filed with a slight haze of steam emanating from the hot water mixing with the colder air above. 

“Vail.” Her voice chimed melodically with a surprised tone but still delighted to see him. She turned somewhat in the tub to place her arms over the sides and then leaned her chin atop her forearms as they crossed over one another. “What a nice surprise visit!” She mused with a bright smile as he picked up the chair and sat it down next to the tub.

“I am feeling a lot better. Although, I am sporting new injuries.” She showed off some bruises on her arms and thighs. “I’ve been training hard to prepare for the Wynter clan’s arrival.” She explained so he wouldn’t get too worried about her injuries. They were self-inflicted in a way, nobody had intentionally harmed her on purpose. 

“Did you just come from your manor? My mother has just gone to see your father.” She asked inquisitively as she leaned back and resumed bathing and relaxing in the fragrant water. She lifted one of her legs and let the water down over her smooth skin as she seemingly played in the tub. Whether it was just for Vail’s benefit was remained to be seen but she was usually playful in the bath tub in her usual mannerisms. “Although I am doubtful, he will change his mind even to her persuasion…” She sighed softly and leaned her head back, exposing her damp neck to him. She wondered if he wanted to taste a drop of her sweet life essence or had genuinely came to see her because he missed her company.

"So...did you miss me?" She smirked with mischievous intent at asking him the question.
