[Don't mind Clare, here. As usual, she would have broken from her little group and would tell anyone not to follow. In some dramatic fashion that's... really not dramatic. Hygiene is very important to Clare, after all, who's managed to find a burst pipe of the sort to clean herself off with. It's a little lukewarm, but it's better than nothing. And

/has been meaning for them to meet

[and orihime is rounding the bend, looking a little lost because. uh. she is. but that aside, she stops when she sees clare. the other girl seems like she doesn't want to be disturbed, but. . . orihime can't help commenting.]

Ah! That's a good idea!

BEACH PARTY IDK

[caladcholg]

[... Okay, maybe she's a little miffed. Right now, Clare's kneeling down washing her hair.]

It's simplistic, but it works.

THIS SOUNDS GOOD TO ME?

[cloud_princess]

Eheheh- Sorry. I couldn't help commenting.

[orihime nods, even though clare. probably can't see it.]

It'll be nice to get clean anyway, though, right?

[caladcholg]

[She's a girl, so it doesn't bother her as much, come to think of it. But now you can definitely catch a glimpse of her massive scar on her chest as Clare turns around to look at her.]

I guess. It took too long to find it, that was the worst part.

[cloud_princess]

[oh. orihime hesitates for a moment, but it's barely discernible.]

Eheheh. I guess so. Um, would you mind if I joined you?

[she does sort of want to get clean. and she's not sure she'd be able to find this spot of the city on demand.]

[caladcholg]

[She does care. Really. But then again, is anyone around here too judgmental? She shrugs, busies herself with trying to keep her torso hidden.]

I don't care.

[cloud_princess]

You sure? I can understand if you'd prefer not to.

[since. well. she doesn't seem that comfortable with her body, now that orihime thinks of it. she focuses on the pipe, trying to remember if she's seen any like it where she's been spending time]

[caladcholg]

[It's a long time before Clare answers, because yes, she is uncomfortable.]

No. You're a female, it doesn't bother me.

[cloud_princess]

Alright then. I'll be quick.

[because. . . she thinks she does sense discomfort, but if clare's saying there's nothing wrong, well. it could be her imagination, right? orihime quickly pulls off her shirt, and follows this with the rest of her clothes.]

How cold is it?

[caladcholg]

[And even then, Clare is relatively calm and more tolerant; if she feels out of place, she'll never say. And for some reason, for as young as she seems, Clare feels really keen on not alienating or making her uncomfortable.]

It's lukewarm.

[cloud_princess]

Alright then!

[she was expecting it to be cold, so she slips into the water, slightly relieved that it's not that cold. lukewarm is good, she thinks, and she pauses for a moment before starting to clean herself off.]

[caladcholg]

No one really found another spot?

[Honest curiosity, here.]

[cloud_princess]

[scrubbing her hair]

Eheheh. . . well, I wanted a shower, but I hadn't thought to look for one, and Tatsuki-chan never mentioned it. We should probably look for some more though, huh?

[caladcholg]

[She may or may not be teasing. Who knows. Does Clare even know.]

Of course, unless you prefer to wash yourself with men.

[cloud_princess]

[it makes orihime jump, either way. and she waves her hands around briefly.]

N-no! That would be. . . kind of embarrassing. I-I mean. It's. Uh.

[caladcholg]

[Clare isn't... seeing the issue. It would be weird, but she doesn't see why it's a big deal. Thus, the stare]
