_{[There isn't any hesitation or testing water with toes on Diva's end as she climbs into the bath and sinks down with a sigh of relief. Saya's comment does have her raising a brow once she settles down across from her.]}

Really? Please tell me you bathe, Saya. It's unbecoming not to.

_{[Says the girl who loves being messy...]}

Of course I bathe!

[ Her cheeks become flustered and she looks away from Diva, puffing her cheeks out as well. ] I'm used to traditional Japanese bathing which includes not being in a tub like this...

Oh. _[Blink.] That sounds terrible. I love baths...

_{[Too bad Diva doesn't know about onsen or she would be on that shit real quick.]}

It's not that bad. It's nice! Sometimes we go to a public bath and we get to relax with others, or I do... wash each others backs...

[ It's really nice, so nice that talking about it makes Saya miss being home. ]

We should wash each other's backs!

_{[Brilliant idea, isn't it?]}

I'll be careful, I promise.

I know you will, Diva. We can certainly wash each other back because there's no other way for us to be able to reach them in the first place.

[ even they have limits. ]

_{[I mean, they could stretch and strain their arms, but it's a lot nicer to have someone else do it. A hum fills her throat as she considers Saya, content with her agreement.]}

Who goes first then?

I should, that way you know how to do it!

[ assuming diva has never done this before. she doesn't know. did the others wash diva at all, or did she wash herself? it's a question she doesn't feel like asking just yet. ]

Okay.

_{[There really isn't any hesitation as Diva decides to turn herself around in the bath, presenting her bare back to Saya for scrubbing. The gesture may not seem like much to an outsider, but knowing the decades of fighting the two of them had been up to and the very real threat they posed to one another...this really is a trust exercise of the highest caliber.]}

[ grabbing a sponge, saya doesn't hesitate when it comes to soaping it up. it's doubtful that diva is dirty given the way she gets to live, but she might as well give her a good scrub and add more bubbles to the bath.

the movement across diva's back will be a gentle one as she takes her time cleaning it. ]

_{[The satisfaction she feels as soon as Saya starts to work away at her back is almost instantaneous as she lets out a sigh and leans into the contact. It feels incredibly good to have someone scrub her down and her muscles respond in turn. Whatever anxieties that had been gripping her start to become subdued and melt away. It's so easy, just to get lost in the sensation of something like this.]}

Feels good...

[ there's a faint smile as she closes her eyes for a moment. this brings back good memories of her washing her brothers back, or at least riku's. ]

Yeah, it's nice. [ nothing beats a long, stressful day than hanging out in a bathtub and enjoying the warm water, the calming smells and being in there with a loved one. ]

I love you Saya...it feels so nice...

_{[It is nice...incredibly nice. So much so Diva finds herself leaning more and more into Saya's touch, to the point her back is almost flush against her sister's chest. There's a soft hum that slips her then, a melody Saya is familiar with, but there are no words. It's just in her throat for now.]}

I'm glad.

[ as diva moves back, she will make sure to start cleaning other parts of her -- like her arms, upper chest, legs, just so they can maintain contact.t it's a little nerve wrecking hearing her hum, only because of what effect diva has had on her before, but this one is different.

it's familiar and soothing, enough to make saya close her eyes again. ]

_{[It's sad to think that this is the closest they've ever been to one another, physically and quite literally. For two beings with such tainted pasts and such animosity between them over the years, to be able to share a simple, tender moment together, it means the world to Diva.

The truth of the matter is that Diva isn't just attention starved, but affection starved as well. To have her very own sister showering her with exactly what she's been craving has her like butter in her arms.

The humming continues, akin to a cat's purr, as she sinks a bit lower against Saya's front, knees raising up higher as she does so. There isn't much room in the bath, but at the very least they're both the same size and not very large to begin with. They're snug.]}

[ that's why she will take this time to actually sit down and relax.

her chin rests on diva's shoulder and she'll just drape her arms over diva's body. it isn't like there is a rush for them to get out of the bath and this is relaxing. when was the last time she got a chance to relax like this? she can't remember. ]

You're... a good girl, Diva.

[ sometimes. ]

_{[It's warm and calming to be like this, to share this space with her sister. They'd shared a womb, after all, and while they'd spent so much time apart, now they had all the time in the world to make up for it. The praise has her smiling softly, delighted and over the moon. Right now, nothing else in the world matters to her. All she needs is Saya.

No one else.]}

I'm trying.

_{[For her, she's trying.]}

All I need is you, sweet sister.
