Open, Bathhouse, 2 years younger

[allnaturalseed.livejournal.com]

Cagalli in the bathhouse isn't an odd sight at all. It's pretty much her favorite place to relax alone, even if the 'alone' part ends up not working out for all that long, depending on the day.

If you don't really look closely, there's nothing out of the usual here, but beyond that... she's a bit smaller, her face just a little more youthful. She also looks like she's ready to slip into the water, just that little bit, and take a nice deep breath. Not that she's considering it, but she really wears her emotions out in the open.

"Father..."

"Can't just live in the baths though." Even if she really, really felt like doing just that sometimes. "I guess I could check out a club if that happens though."

He grinned as he held his shade up above the water when he dunked his head back and came back up, placing them back on his face. "You'll be the firs' one ta know then."

"Mph. Thanks." She's not sure how much she'll care, but it's better than moping. Probably.

Awkward silence commence!

He continues washing slowly, he's in no rush and the company is pleasant, even when short, to the point and cute. He smiles to himself.

Awkward? Not like she's noticing any of that. Too busy moping to care for now.

"Ya really need ta lighten up yanno." He said nonchalantly, his focus entirely on bathing, shade covered eyes looking at her thoughtfully. "Don' think looking depressed or upset is a good look for ya. Not saying you are of course, jus' seems like you's out of it."

"It's temporary." And what does looking good have to do with anything? "I'll be fine sooner or later." She turned, resting her shin on her arm at the side of the water.

"S'fine, but if ya ever wana talk, jus' lemme know. I'll listen." He said calmly, finishing up his bath with his legs and relaxing back against the edge of the pool. He'd never get tired of places like these.

Cagalli nodded, glancing at Splicer. Maybe a different perspective is what she needs? "If I really need it, I'll get ahold of you."

Splicer nodded and offered her a smile and and a thumbs up. She somehow reminded her of lil's girlfriend... but that was so long ago. His mind drifted to his team and the lives they led.

She returned a half-hearted thumbs up, before returning to her own thoughts.
