Room 324, Friday Afternoon

Kate was still recuperating. Her night, once she'd bothered to even try pretending she wanted to fall asleep, had been fitful and filled with nightmares, and hadn't left her feeling particularly refreshed.

Still, she'd tried to get back into some normal kind of feeling today. She'd eaten, and she'd showered, and she'd tried do positive, normal things. Having noticed there was a Strawberry Social today, and that the weather had finally cleared, she'd even gotten as far as slipping on a red dress before she'd realized that she had absolutely no inclination whatsoever for being social in a large crowd of people today. None. She was pretty sure she'd either end up hanging around the edges or leaving way early. Or maybe crying again. So, it was best just not to go at all. She wasn't feeling normal enough for that.

So, she'd picked up her laptop and flopped onto her bed, stomach down. She'd just be overdressed for some casual surfing. Pretty things, nothing dark or depressing.

It had been a bit of a rough day at work and while Bod had thought about stopping into the event in the park, he'd decided against it. When he appeared at Kate's door, there was flour on his shirt (and neck but he didn't know that) and he looked tired but he managed a smile for her and her dress anyway.

He forgot to say anything though.

"Hmm?" He rubbed his tired eyes and then looked down. "Oh. It's flour, yes. I was helping the staff with a cleanup and things got a bit messy. I didn't notice it ended up on my shirt. Hmm."

"I'm slightly tired," he admitted, making his way into her room. "I'll be fine until you fall asleep later tonight. I like your dress."

"I thought about stopping in on the way back from work," he admitted, taking a seat on the edge of her bed and sighing. "It was nice to be outside without the rain, at least. Are you sure you don't want to go? I'll accompany you if you don't want to be alone."

"Understandable," Bod murmured, reaching to brush some flour of the front of his shirt. "You look lovely in it, no matter what. I love that dress."

"Do I?" He hadn't noticed that either. "I suppose that calls for a shower then, doesn't it?"

"And I don't want to be that," Bod agreed, standing up again. "I'll see you later, I hope?"

His clothes were up several flights of stairs and he supposed a shower up there would have to be enough to tide him over.

"Upstairs to my room," Bod said, pointing at her door. "All my clothes and toiletries are up there. I thought I'd shower there."

"I wasn't sure if you wanted me to stay," Bod admitted, feeling sheepish. He crossed his arms and glanced down at her. "I can do that, if you'd like. I just wanted to see how you were but I didn't want to overwhelm you by being around too much."

[personal profile] therewaslife 2011-06-03 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course I'll stay," Bod said, nodding. "Of course I will. And you don't have to give me my privacy if you'd rather not. But, I won't leave. I'll just go in and have a shower."

"I've smelled floral before, I'll be fine with smelling floral again," he said, giving her a brief wave before he disappeared into her bathroom. He did leave the door open, though.

The water came on in the bathroom and after getting out of his flour stained t-shirt, jeans and boxers, Bod stepped inside and let the water beat down on his back and neck. He'd gotten a little stiff while he was at work and now he was hoping a hot shower might ease the tension some.

Bod thought he heard some movement outside the shower but he wasn't sure if it was Kate just getting him a shirt or something else. He kept his head bowed and let the water beat against his back and neck. It was hot enough to make his pale skin red but not hot enough to burn.
