Sasha bit back a choked laugh, shaking her head as she rubbed moisturizer-laden palms together. The friction warmed the stuff on her skin, and she gave the doctor a look before she brushed her palms against his cheeks.
His skin was smooth beneath her fingers. This caused a huge smile to spread across Sasha's face.
"I don't mean to ah, brag, sir," Sasha beamed, "but I give a mean shave, doctor." She sounded utterly satisfied by her work as she smoothed her fingers along the doctor's jawline before stepping away.

His features shifted under her touch as he smiled up at her in return, only reaching up to check it himself after she had stepped back in satisfaction. The doctor's fingers traced over his face in a quick but thorough inspection. The smiled widened and he grabbed her hand, lifting it and covering with his own, "Exceptional work, Sasha." He looked her straight in the eye, and while the smile yet lingered, there were no shades of flattery in his tone, "Steady, sure hands are of great importance to a Life Hunter."
Amusement crept in, "Perhaps its time you gave the Life Arena another try, hm?"

The smile on Sasha's face slowly faded, her eyes narrowing to pale sapphire slits. Pursing her lips, Sasha refrained from giving a most unladylike snort.
Almost.
Slipping her hand free from the doctor's grasp, Sasha turned with a loud grunt as she went about tidying up. The bowl was emptied in the sink, dirtied towels rinsed before being placed in the bowl.
"I'll have you know, doctor," Sasha spoke over her shoulder as she busied herself with the various shaving paraphernalia she'd used, "that I passed the Life Arena just before the Antarctica mission. It turns out that," the water ran in the basin as she washed her hands, "the Life Arena is best done in a group, and anyone who tries to run it alone," the water hissed to a stop as Sasha reached for a dry towel, turning to face the doctor once more.
"Well, sir, anyone who tries to run it alone is a fool." She gave him a wry, bright smile as her cheeks pinked up just the slightest. Just thinking about all the failures ... bah. It was embarrassing. Sasha set to gathering the supplies she'd need to hone the doctor's razor, giving the man a thoughtful glance as she finished up.

"My dear, the fool is the one who lets the past hinder them." Sitting back in his chair, he gave Sasha a heavy-lidded glance, "But perhaps it's still a bit too early for you to ah, take it on by yourself. Fortunately you do have several followers to play with you now, hm? Not to mention a very considerate boss." His smile turned slightly whimsical, "So do try it again and improve your record, your current one does you a terrible disservice, you know."

Sasha stilled, brow furrowing.
"Yes, sir."
She pursed her lips and turned to face him. After a moment, her lips quirked into a half-smile.
"You are right. I can do much better. Thank you, sir. If you ever find yourself bored, sir, it would be thrilling to make another attempt at the Life Arena with my very considerate boss."
That half-smile turned slightly cheeky.
"If there's nothing else you need, sir, I'll have the blade returned in a matter of hours."

"That will be all, Sasha. I'll look forward to your attentions once again, same time next week."
