OOM: Not breaking any rules.

She hasn't been in her own room very often, when she has had reason to stay in the bar - which is why she hasn't done much in the way of redecorating, swapping out old pieces for newly acquired ones and so on

Hoffman's shirt is sweat stained and the bruises on his arms still hurt form trying to get out of the chair.

A day ago he never would have imagined this. Practically dissolving into one of the chairs he removes one shoe, then the other and sighs for half a heartbeat.

Content to watch her.

"You want to shower first?"

"You look like you could use it," she says, slightly teasing and also seemingly sympathetic as she comes around behind the back of the chair, hands smoothing down over his shoulders and arms.

She nearly winces out loud at what she finds.

"You're tense," she whispers, leaning over his shoulder.

He arches his back into her touch, "....I'll go shower."

He remains stationary for half a heartbeat however, in her grip.

Her hands still on his shoulders.

"I'll go start the water."

The shower connects to the bedroom; she ducks through and inside, turning on very few lights as she goes.

Once inside, she turns on the shower, testing the temperature by holding a hand under the spray and watching her reflection disappear as the mirror fogs up.
