"Me mother's one, so it ain't a bad job t' have. It's a bit different than people think. Most think the showgirls an' th' burlesque girls are th' same, but they ain't. Me mum's one o' them you see helpin' out th' magicians or ridin' the elephants durin' th' parades. Sometimes she does dance numbers. A burlesque show, though, is basically woman gettin' naked," Rory said, keeping an eye on the water. "I wouldnae mind if you wanted t' be like me mum an' learn t' be a showgirl, but I'd rather you not be in th' burlesque shows where men will paw at you." He glanced back at her over his shoulder. "Why d'you ask anyway?"

Lee nodded to herself as Rory spoke, and while she had assumed being a showgirl was a bit different, it still seemed like it would require confidence to be seen by such a large crowd of people. "No reason, I guess. Your mom just sorta mentioned it..."

"Guess she's just tryin' t' be helpful in gettin' you a job, too," Rory said, pouring the warm water into the wash basin. He set the pot back on the stove, having turned the burner off, then got a washcloth to bathe himself.

Lee laid back and rolled onto her stomach, half hiding herself from watching Rory bathe. She wouldn't get up to help unless he asked, though Lee doubted she'd be of much use when her hands were shaking a bit with embarrassment and nervousness. She felt dirty just looking at Rory, as naked as he was at the moment...

Rory glanced back over his shoulder. "Are you hidin' from me now, girl? I got nothin' now you ain't seen." He motioned for her to come to him. "Come, lass, at least let me help you wash up."

Sighing lightly into the pillow, Lee slowly sat up, her cheeks burning red. Eyes glued to the ground, she stood, covering as much as she could with her arms as the walked toward Rory, a goofy, embarrassed smile on her face. "Yeah, but I can actually think about what I'm seeing now..." Laughing nervously, she looked up at his face as she stood by his side, hoping he was keeping his eyes on her face, as well, but very much doubting it.

Rory smiled at her, eyes roaming just a bit. "It ain't changed." He licked his lips, blushing a little. "Is it not t' your likin' now tha' you're o' a clearer mind?" For a guy who spent a lot of his private time naked, he suddenly felt very self-conscious of how he looked, and how he appeared to Lee. "I know I ain't th' best-lookin' guy. I'll gae cover up if you want."

Shooting him an incredulous look, she shook her head fevorously. "N-no, it's the opposite of that--!" Looking down, half to give him further proof that it wasn't him, she held her hands up to her cheeks to hide the growing blush. "You're... ugh, you're gonna give me a nose bleed..." She laughed at herself, almost seeming more like sobs when her hands were shaking and her eyes closed shut.

"You tha' scared o' me body?" Rory asked, not sure now why she didn't want to look at him. "Nosebleed?"

"That's... sort of a compliment..." A weird one, she supposed, but still a compliment. Reaching out hesitantly to touch his chest, Lee bit her lip, swallowing nervously. "You're just so... perfect." She covered herself again as best she could, feeling even less comfortable now that she'd acknowledged there was perfection in the room, and the perfection was not her.

"So're you," Rory breathed softly, gently pulling her hands away so he could see her again. "Why d'you do tha', Lee? I like lookin' at you. You're beautiful." He rested her hands on his chest, settling his own hands on her waist, and leaned down to kiss her.

Lee could only stand to kiss him for a moment, eventually pulling away and covering her mouth. "You have no shame, Rory..." she shook her head, laughing softly as she spoke. Her nerves had died down a bit by now with the help of his compliments, and she beamed up at him. "Seriously, start washing up, I'm not standing here like this forever..." She giggled, looking away and biting her nails while smiling.

"Too bad fae tha'," Rory chuckled. "I could certainly look at you like tha' fore'er." He started washing up again, though, feeling slightly embarrassed to be doing this in front of a girl, especially a girl he loved.

Shaking her head as she stifled a laugh, Lee shoved the boy's shoulder before moving behind him to help wash his back as he'd asked her to do earlier. He was slightly easier to look at from this view, and she didn't even seem to notice his scars. Resting her chin on his shoulder as she mentioned, "I'm gonna need to use that washcloth when you're done..." she stood back, her eyes looking off, embarrassment returning to her now that she was just standing there.

Rory shook his head. "Get a fresh one, eh? No sense in usin' one tha' ain't clean." He looked back at her. "W're supposed t' be careful, remember?"
