Rouge was feeling a little grimy. She'd been gliding around the edge of the island trying to see if she could find a way out. Despite her excellent detective skills, she came up empty-handed. A little disgruntled and sweaty, she figured a nice bath was in order.

She entered the girls' bath with a pink towel around her chest, which covered enough of her to avoid being considered indecent. After putting her nightie and slippers in a locker, without modesty, she removed her towel and flung it to the side. She placed her bath soap along the edge of the pool and gently settled into the warm water.

"Ahh, this feels nice," she said to herself. "A good way to end a frustrating day of futility."

"A-ah, well n-not on you though!" she stammered as she tried to do her best to cover her embarrasment and failing at it.

[magicdancer]

"Hey, it's okay," Shantae told her. "I mean, we're both girls... I did this all the time with Sky." She tapped her chin with her finger. "Tried it with Rottytops too, but she got a little... overzealous."

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae nodded, still looking away but smiled sheepishly. "I... I c-can see why though..." Because who wouldn't really? Just look at her.

[magicdancer]

"You've never seen such grabby hands before," Shantae added with a laugh.

[shiest_sunbeam]

"I... really beg to differ." she replied with a sigh and a small chuckle as she shook her head. "I know quite a few who could contest that." Some pleasant, some... well not at all. But she didn't want to bring up unpleasant subjects to the table. Not when she was having a pleasant time with Shantae.

[magicdancer]

"Well, at least I haven't," Shantae corrected herself, to try and change course. "Rottytops wants so bad to be my friend. I just wonder what KIND of friend she wants from me sometimes!"

[shiest_sunbeam]

"Well, honestly friend is such a general term I don't think it'd be fair to think of it as one specific type. I think it's more of an universal denominator for the various extremes that have come to describe someone under those terms." she voiced in a thoughtful manner before smiling and nodding at her.

[magicdancer]

Shantae nodded, despite not quite getting what Ronnae was trying to explain. So she followed up with, "Well yeah, but Rottytops either wants to be my best friend, or wants to get in my pants, or both."

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae's face reddened and she looked again taking a shaky breath, "Ah, yeah r-right. Hm.... Maybe both." she shrugged nervously.

"Wouldn't blame her either..." She voiced more to herself than anything else.

[magicdancer]

Shantae had taken that moment to dunk her hair in the bath to rinse it, and as a result she missed Ronnae's little quiet admission. "Hm? Did you say something?" She asked.

[shiest_sunbeam]

"Hm? Oh ah... n-nothing... I was... just saying that... well... c-could you really blame her?" she voiced sheepishly, currently brushing her very long hair and maintaining it.

[magicdancer]

"Really? Well, I mean I know I'm cute and all..."

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae kind of looked to the side thoughtfully. "I'd say you're more than just that..." She definitely knew she was more than that but she'd be too embarrassed to voice that out loud.

[magicdancer]

"Oh yeah? You think so?" Shantae asked, a little bit of blush on her face.

[shiest_sunbeam]

"Oh ah... w-well o-of course... I m-mean..." She obviously had a very hard problem with words but it was clear that there was certain appreciation for Shantae there and more.

[magicdancer]

"W-well...! Thanks," Shantae said, really unsure of how to respond to this revelation.

[shiest_sunbeam]

So yeah, that awkward silence from here on in... Ronnae's just trying to very quickly wash herself, especially her hair which she cares very very much about.

[magicdancer]

Things were silent for a moment. Shantae hated it. Seeking to find some way to break the tension, she said, "You've got really great hair!"

[shiest_sunbeam]

Ronnae's face grew a darker shade as she blushed but she was glad for the end of the silence. It always made her even more nervous since one doesn't know what's on the mind of the company they're keeping.

"Oh a-ah... t-thanks! So do you... I've always enjoyed seeing it." Of course, who wouldn't? It was very alluring. One of the many great qualities Shantae possessed.

[magicdancer]

"You're gonna have to show me some of your tricks," she said. "I work really hard to keep my hair looking this good, since it does double duty!" She was happy to have something to talk about, to get the subject off of their embarrassment.

[shiest_sunbeam]

"S-sure I don't mind at all!" Feeling a bit more relaxed, Ronnae got closer so she could show and talk to Shantae about good hair keeping practices. It was clear that she really cared about her hair and went on a very detailed chat about the do's and don'ts and the secrets of treating your hair just right.

[magicdancer]

Seeing Ronnae get so enthusiastic talking about her hair care techniques was comforting. In fact, she seemed so relaxed about it that she didn't mind getting closer to her at all! And as she talked, Shantae listened, nodded, and even helped to wash her friend's hair, finger brushing the long strands.

"I'll have to try that myself," she said, sitting behind Ronnae to look after her hair. "I so have to show you this great hair cream they sell in Scuttle Town..."

[shiest_sunbeam]

Definitely feeling more confortable in light of this more relaxed and pleasant air, Ronnae didn't mind as Shantae got close and helped with her hair.

"Oh? I'll definitely want to try it then! If you recommend it, it must be great." After all, just look at Shantae's hair right?

[magicdancer]

"As soon as I can get my hands on some more," Shantae said, grabbing some shampoo and rubbing her fingers through Ronnae's hair and against her scalp to help clean it. "I had a few jars, but they were all left behind at the Academy... Maybe some of it showed up here with us, and I'll find it eventually!" she suggested with a shrug and a laugh.

She washed Ronnae's hair carefully, experience taking care of long hair showing through as she worked.

[shiest_sunbeam]

"Mmmm~ Oh that feels great..."" Ronnae leaned some back against Shantae as she massaged her scalp. Man did that feel so damn good! She even forgot just how close they've gotten.

"Maybe! If there's some I'd definitely would love to try!"
