(OOC: Nah, that was lovely...and I wouldn't call mine a masterpiece per se...just a little lengthy is all 😉 Anyways, here's a little sumthing......)
Letting out a loud, lazy yawn, Leo opened hazel green eyes out to the caramel ceiling of her room. She dragged her hands across her waist, tiredly rubbing at her face. She smiled at a lingering scent, a faint intoxicating aroma left on her palms. Popping a finger into her mouth, she came to her senses, cinnamon legs swinging over the side of the bed.
“Hmm…” Leo frowned, pulling off her negligee and heading for the shower. She stepped in under a torrent of hot water, finger still in mouth. The events of the prior night were still playing through her head and she was in hopes the shower would tone down the slow feeling of…guilt starting to build.
Leo, as her namesake, was a Leo and with that sign came a sense of loyalty. She may not have known Vlad well…hell, she barely knew him at all, but she did feel that he shouldn’t have gone down alone. And to the Ancient no less… She had intended to follow to see how he fared, perhaps intervene if necessary but she had been spotted shortly after and sent to the medicinal bay for her ‘self-inflicted’ wounds.
She sighed, honeysuckle soap suds swirling down the drain from her skin. “I hate…” Leo scowled, hanging her washcloth neatly over the glass shower stall. “...feeling bad.” She growled, stomping her feet onto the pale green rug in the bathroom.
Drying off, Leo slipped into a pair of extra short black combat shorts, throwing on a long white shirt afterwards. She didn’t go on duty for another two hours so far now it would serve as casual wear around the mansion. Tying up her soaking wet mane into a sloppy pony, she wandered around from door to door, soon finding her destination for the evening.
A devious smile formed as Leo pulled from her sports bra a lock pick, ‘borrowed’ from Genesis the night before. Fiddling around with the little miracle device, she eventually pushed open the door into a neat room, with the exception of the bed, which was in desperate need of being made.
Stepping inside Vlad’s chambers, Leo trailed her fingers along the bureau, bare feet noiseless on the wooden floor. She stared at a few blades in wonder, raising her brow at the sound of the shower being activated. She pouted slightly. And here I wanted to surprise him…damn. Oh well…
Not bothering with a knock, Leo pushed herself into the bathroom, mirrors already foggy with steam. Smirking, she picked up the solitary towel hanging from its rack, tilting her head at its plainness. “Don’t you wish they added keypads to our rooms…gave us keycards, something?” She scoffed, flinging the towel over her shoulders. “I mean, really, it took me under a minute to pick your lock.”
For a minute, from the shadow on the shower curtain, Leo would’ve sworn she saw him falter in washing his skin. Recovering after a second, he asked in a strained tone. “What are you doing…in here?”
Leo flinched, the same evil tone leaving his mouth. Then again, she couldn’t blame him, she did just sneak into his bathroom. She sighed, getting comfy against the counter. “Er…actually, it’s about last night. I was gonna let it be but I’m not as mean as I thought I was…” She rubbed at her chin thoughtfully, towel clinging to her shoulders. She didn’t plan on letting it go without a fight, just to have a little fun.
Smiling at the idea, she explained herself. “No, it’s more like I…thanks. Thanks for last night…you didn’t have to do that and I appreciate it…well, except the owing you part. It’s a b*tch to be in debt but yeah…you get me, right?”
