Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It'll take me some time to just get over the shock of things, but very soon I'll need to get on with my life. I've got a school to run afterall, right?" As long as she could she would avoid saying Mordrid's name, or even directly thinking about him. It might even take her years to really accept what had taken up only two years of her life.

"No," she shook her head "No more rest for me, I've got to take a proper bath and scrub all of this out." Going behind his head her hand pulled his head down for a kiss "I'd ask for you to come, but my body's not going to be the same as you remeber it."

"It doesn't matter, if that's what is worrying you. You are still Morgan, and I still love you. I don't think you look any less beautiful now... just, that the injuries... it's foolish, but they bother me a little, as if there would have been any chance that I might have been able to prevent however you got them." He laughed at his own foolisheness, and brought his hands up behind her head as well, pulling her in for another kiss. "Besides, I'll have to get used to that at some time, won't I?"

Rivven smiled a little, and pushed the sheets away with one hand. "Alright then." he said, letting his lips brush against hers as he spoke, and slid out one side of the bed, and stood up, he walked into the bath room and turned on the faucet, coming back out to make sure she would be up and in fine on her own. "Are you still going to want me with you, or were you just saying that to ask me not to come?"

"Oh, yes, that's fine." he said, heading back into the bathroom, and checking on the water, making sure there were towels, soap, and shampoo enough. He sat by it, until it came to level, and then turned it off. Leaning out to tell her it was, and methodically stripping himself to get in, slowly folding his clothes as he removed them, as he usually did.

Rivven looked in after her, a bit curiously at the splash, and then picked up the coat, folding it even with how dirty it was, and finishing stripping down before he slipped in beside her. The water was nice and warm, though they were both probably filthy after being in that room. He was a bit curious as to why she seemed so nervous, as she'd always seemed to like showing him her body, but, maybe she really felt there was something wrong with her now that her appearance wasn't magically enhanced. He didn't know what could be, but he'd respect her privacy, so much as she wanted it.

The marks on her body didn't bother him, and truthfully he preffered her without them, and with her hair how it had used to be, but it didn't really mean much to him. He still felt the same way about her, he was as much attracted to her as he'd ever been, and obviously nothing else had changed. He sat quietly and used the shampoo while she used the soap, removing ash from his long white hair, as it returned rapidly to that from a dirty gray it had been. He slid over a bit closer to her in the tub, letting the side of his hip just barely touch the side of hers, but didn't push any more on her for the time. "I hope I grabbed enough of everything... oh well, the water and the company are both as good as I could ask for." he said quietly as he continued scrubbing at his hair.

Rivven quietly let her drift over him, and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her gently down to sit in in his lap, closing his eyes and laying his head over he shoulder silently. He kissed her cheek once and sat, just enjoying her presence. "When was the last time I told you I loved you?" he said. "Actually... I probably said that to you a few times just a minute a go, didn't I? I can't believe I'd forget so soon... but, I love you. Morgan." he didn't open his eyes, but laughed quietly at himself.
