 -Heat turned around fully on his stool, taking the soap covered rag as he stared down her back.

The familiar tingle of temptation came in his head, crinkling his lips and sneering slightly. Focusing on her shoulders, and easing the rag on them first. Slowly, and carefully taking his time going down from there. He couldn’t keep himself from softly tracing her scars, not wanting to injure them and yes, wishing to follow their pattern and Memorize.

Memorizing these…

These acquired essences of the person before him.

Only a Glimpse of what he saw as her experiences, he could only imagine what caused these.

Although he wouldn’t ask.

This was one of those things he Couldn’t ask about, or at least even Think about asking about. No, no he wouldn’t. Softly easing the rag to make small suds over her skin, both fleshy pink and her skin tones color. Once he was halfway down her back, he laid his forehead on her upper back, idly staring down in concentration as he eased his hand gently against her lower back, staring down at healed over scars in silence.

Giving a solid couple of moments of silence, if only to silently apologize for what could have even cause this.-

Rebecca squeaked at the contact, relaxing as she rested her elbows on her knees, humming a tune as Heat washed her back.

“On the road far from home, you don’t have to feel alone~

Brave and strong, together we will be~

It’s our destiny~”

“My mother used to sing that one quite a bit. It was pretty popular when I was a kid.”

She noticed Heat was quiet, possibly looking at her scars. She turned her head a bit with a small smile.

“That’s what happens when you land back first from the mouth of a Tyranitar onto a pile of sharp pebbles. I was lucky none of ‘em were near my spine. That was about ten or so years ago so they’re pretty faded by now.”
