Pearl shivered at the prospects of a hot bath. She'd been eyeing that tub for the better half of a month now since she'd moved in, but it felt weird to ask a roommate if she could use their special tub just cause she was curious. But things were different now. As her eyes followed the woman and the line of clothes she left in her wake, Pearl chuckled to herself. Yes, things were much different now. While Mala teased her and sung little nursery rhymes pairing her mother and Pearl together, the dancer scarfed down her food, acknowledging the tunes with a grin and a gentle shove against Mala's shoulder. The child rolled over, pretending to be profusely hurt, though her cries of agony were silent, knowing her mother was on edge at the moment and didn't want to make it worse with jokes. When Mala righted herself, Pearl was finishing her plate. The dancer fixed her pupil's hair with a mother's gentle touch and smiled at her before taking her plate to the sink and retiring from the living room.<br/><br/>It wasn't until she was half way down the hallway that Pearl realized the bathroom would obviously be lit. It was a silly thing to be so self-conscious of and even though her mind screamed it at her, Pearl still dipped into her own room to grab one of the various sleeping shirts she started to hoard from Jasper, slipping one on that went to her mid thigh. By the time she poked her head into the bathroom, the bath was set and Jasper was already in. Pearl smiled at the addition of the candles before finally moving the rest of her body in, a nervous hand clenching at the shirt around her stomach. This was silly, right? Right. Before any awkward commentary could be spoken over her attire, Pearl slipped right into the water, the big shirt of Jasper's poofing up immediately with trapped air. The dancer gasped and rather ungraciously started patting the shirt down into the water, letting it sink under the jets as the air escaped through the collar of the shirt, blowing her hair up with each passing until the whole garment was finally soaked in the water. Pearl glanced up at Jasper and gave an embarrassed chuckle, trying to push right along. "This feels really nice! I-I must admit I'd been wondering what it would be like to use this tub since I moved in here..."
