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..."

"I don't really know... I've never tried to start anything like that, so I can't really say for sure." She shrugged. "Just getting people interested would be nice."

[encourage]

"It's worth trying. When things have calmed down for a moment." Not for long, since Sakura highly doubted things ever calmed down for long.

"Yeah... calmed down. I think you might have to squeeze it in pretty tight if you're expecting calm for it."

[encourage]

She made a waving motion with her hand. "Relative calm. I don't think there's any true calm, given the circumstances."

She leans forward, starting to stand. "But it makes what you can get that much more important. A chance to breathe. Stretch a little, too."

Cagalli watches Sakura, realizing just how long she's been here. "This place helps with that, definitely."

[encourage]

"It does. I'm thankful for that much." She stepped out of the water, wrapping herself in the towel she'd come in with. "I hope you feel better, miss."

She nods and smiles. "...thanks. It was nice talking to you."

[encourage]

Sakura smiled. "Likewise." She meant it. Then, with a small wave of her hand, she was gone.
