She sighed and shrugged. "I suppose so. Haven't had a chance to experience the worst yet, so I can't judge fairly, I s'pose. I just wonder, since I mean. Infections, germs? Ew." She shrugged and sighed.
Shortly, she was up on her feet, grabbing her coat from where she'd tossed it, and heading for the door. "Ready to get out of here? I know I am."

"Ew," he said, sort of making fun of the way she said it. "You'll live."
Rhys followed her to the door and stepped ahead of her to make sure he was the one to open it this time, standing aside so she could go ahead of him. "I'm ready to hit the showers. By the way, if you wanna talk gross you should try the showers in the basement. That s**t is straight up nasty." He shuddered at the thought of actually showering down there. He took on step inside and went right back out as soon as he saw the state of the place. "You're lucky you got a room on the first floor."

She gave him SUCH a look at his ew, and sighed. "I know? Doesn't mean I'm not grossed out."
She slipped out the door, amused by his determination to hold doors for her. It felt so weird and old fashioned, like something you saw in movies, to her. She didn't comment, though, just waited for him outside. "A shower sounds magnificent. Hot water and being clean." His comment about the basement showers caused her eyes to go wide, and her expression to morph into a gurn of utter disgust. "Note to self, then, be patient if all the showers on the first floor are in use!" And she shrugged at his second comment. "I guess? Obviously I can't compare, so I'll totally take your word for it."

"Yeah, it looked like I'd walk out of the showers dirtier than when I went in," he tacked on as he made sure the gym door was properly closed before joining her. Her expression was pretty priceless; he could imagine that most girls would think that that kind of thing was more nightmare-ish than some of the s**t they actually dealt with on a daily basis. With a grin he joined her, eventually walking in-step with her as they headed back toward the dorms.
"You've been to my room so you saw all the boxes. That s**t was all there when I moved in. Like no one could be ********' bothered to get rid of it all." There was a pause as he recalled the first time he walked into his room, and then a shrug about half a second later. "There was enough to ********' make half-walls and some other useful s**t."

"Oh gods that's vile. They need to do something about that. What the ever living ********? That's like a recipe for disease, that kind of filth." Her expression got worse the more he said. "I mean I get they're group showers, so cleaning time has to be scheduled, but not bothering to do it... It's amazing more hunters haven't died of freaking ILLNESSES caused by disgusting habits!"
She listened to him talking as they walked, her expression one that wasn't entirely the easiest to read, as he spoke about the boxes. She was silent for a long moment, then finally said "Well, at least they could be put to good use... And I am more grateful then I can say about not being in the basement." Her eyes slid to the grass. "I never want to live in one again."

When he glanced over at Seren he did notice the weird expression on her face, but as he had been doing so far didn't really say anything. Everyone had a story, and judging by what she said just a few moments later it sounded hers wasn't all that great. He let another bit of silence pass before reaching over and giving her a pat on the back. "Good you're not, then."
And that was about all the comforting he knew how to do.

She looked back up at him, and gave him a quiet smile. "I agree. For your sake, other then the usefullness of the boxes, I wish you weren't either. Basements suck." She then focused on walking, letting her head fall back some. "D'ya think we'll actually ever be able to get the rain problem fixed? I like rain, but this is so past ridiculous, it's verging into the plain STUPID."

He didn't really mind the basement, actually. It was cool and quiet and his room was more normal than anything else. He couldn't speak for what was inside the boxes, but he had no immediate plans of emptying them so that wasn't such a concern. Still, to get off the topic a bit quicker since it didn't seem to be doing her mood any good he just let it die off after her comment.
Rhys looked up at the mention of the rain, sea green eyes a bit distant and almost thoughtful until a drop landed straight into ********," he muttered, immediately shutting his eyes and trying to rub out the unwanted water. "I don't know. Soon, hopefully? We've been in the ********' plain of stupid for a while now."

She didn't mind the silence, walking together. It was a comfortable silence, for her, being able to just walk with a friend. It helped her relax from the discussion of living in basements, and she sighed, then as they moved, began to unpin her hair, sticking the pins into her coat pocket as they went. She figured better to get this started, because it could take awhile to get it down, though not as long as getting it up.
His '********' got a quirked smile in response, and then his comment an outright laugh. "All right, fair enough. I don't really know how long this has been happening, since I woke up to it."

"I came back to it," he said, still rubbing at his eye. "I was in Mexico for the longest ********' time so I thought, y'know, that coming back to this ********' island would be nice 'cause it's kinda the same weather except there's the courses and more people to spar with and s**t. More to do and whatever." With one eye closed he sort of used both hands to gesture very dramatically at the sky.
"First day back and I ********' get drenched going from the portal to my ********' room. I was so pissed. I almost asked if I could just extend my assignment out there. I'd take the heat over this s**t any day."

His dramatic gestures made her just laugh, outright. "You poor, poor baby. Such a sudden misery as you never before felt."
She hmmmm'd at that, thinking. "Is it... dry heat, or humidity?" She sounded appalled at the second word, as if it was something she loathed. "I've only ever experienced the second once in a great while, during the summer." She gave a shudder, and added "I was so sticky, it was gross."

He would have played up the drama too if he was so irritated by the memory and the fact that the rain was still going. Instead the brunette just sighed and shoved his hands into his coat pockets as they walked on.
"It was humid as hell," he answered, eyes down as he kicked a stone. It landed in a small puddle in the distance and he scowled. "I was usually in a tanktop or shirtless whenever we were out on a mission and it was day out. Had my coat around my waist though, regulation bullshit." He shrugged again. "It helped us blend in, I guess? Look like tourists in case we ran into anybody. Had to walk everywhere."

She made a disgusted face at the idea of the humidity. "Ugggggh I hate humid weather so much. It's just so nasty, sticky and it makes me feel dehydrated all the damn time." She paused, on that note, and took a pull from her water bottle, because just thinking about it made her feel somewhat dehydrated too. Or maybe that was all the exercise they'd been doing. Or both. Who knew?
His comment about going shirtless earned him teasing, however. "Ohhhhhh going shirtless among the natives? Any pretty little Mexican ladies try the moves on you?"

The teasing was...not unexpected. He wasn't sure what to make of it so he sort of just huffed, grinning. "Oh, you know," he said, obviously fighting down a bigger smile.
And then he deadpanned, leaned toward her, and flicked her forehead. "I wish. Even if I wasn't busy walkin' my a** off five days outta the week I barely spent any time off base." It was an honest complaint; they did a lot of walking. It was how he got his tan so even, actually, and now that he thought about it probably didn't look as good now. "Though I gotta say, there were some pretty fine lookin' ladies over there." There was a smile that flashed for a second before it fell again.
"That I saw from probably over 20 yards away 'cause I had to be ********' hiding in the trees."

She grinned wide at his response, though the flick caused her to bust out laughing, because it was not at all something she'd expected. She elbowed him, in a LIGHT and teasing way, still grinning and then danced back, out of range of a return elbow.
"Probably for the best, you might have ended up mobbed. Ladies often like a tall, built guy. Tats give that 'could be a bad boy' feel." She kept walking, as she teased him. "But I bet. I've known some lovely looking ladies and gents of Hispanic heritage, I can't imagine they're all up in Cali, so... Pity you were oh so busy." She stuck her tongue out at him, laughing.
