Eve took the loofah and began to soap it up and run it over her body.  She had almost expected the shower to be a quiet, tired act.  Casey seemed more relaxed but still very alert.  She shook her head softly while he complimented her, smiling all the while.  Her body turned toward his and she shrugged her shoulders.  "I would think most women would say the same about you, especially when you're shirtless, darling.  You've got that whole 'vulnerable but obviously badass' thing going on."	She said, maneuvering around him so she could get at his shoulders.<br/><br/>She began with the loofah, but then decided to use her hands instead.  She could feel the raised skin of the scars along his upper back and the tense muscles beneath them.  Her attention turned from getting him clean to rubbing enough that he might get a bit of relief.  She found a particularly knotted spot and worked the blunt part of her palm against it, until it seemed to ease slightly.<br/><br/>"I still sort of wonder if things would have been different, if this might have happened between us sooner, if our families weren't so dead set against each other.  I always thought you were handsome, but you were pretty much forbidden fruit."  She smirked and rounded him slowly, so they faced each other once again.  "Though, that might have been fun when we were both teenagers wanting some rebellion...It's odd that now this kind of thing is actually us both towing the line and doing what the Council wanted."
