So lost in her own thoughts, Terra missed the sound of the door opening and at the sound of Tyger's voice she took a quick intake of breath in surprise.  At the sound of his low voice her heart melted a little and a little sigh of relief escaped.  She did not realized how concerned she had been that he may not come ask her a question.  They had seemed to naturally drift together since landing on the island and Terra liked how completely comfortable she was with him even if she did not actually understand it.    A sheepish smile broke her face at the phrase "my sweet," for she had never been called a term of endearment before.  She thought back to when he had called her "darling" earlier.  Well maybe not never.  She liked the new addition of the possessive "my" as he spoke to her.  Terra let the water finish running the soap out of her hair as she collected her thoughts to answer his question.<br/><br/>"I was separated from my comrades when I first changed into my alternate form.  I woke up in a forest that I did not recognize and was attacked by a giant strange creature.  After hurting it enough that it decided it wanted little to do with me a strange... thing... You will have to forgive me for not knowing what exactly it was.  Helena has too many things here I do not understand."  She stood without moving under the steady stream of the water loving the way her muscles were slowly loosening and she moved to turn the water a little hotter.  "Anyway, this strange thing appeared in my hand that lead me to a portal, as Helena calls them.  I was actually trying to figure out what it was when it pulled me through."  Her thoughts went to the little flower, that she had used to try and determine what the portal had been.  It was in one of the pockets of her clothes hanging on the bar outside of the shower.  Terra returned her thoughts to Tyger and started to finish answering his question.  "Once Helena appeared I merely followed out of curiosity and when the tournament was explain I decided to stay to help the comrades I have been separated from, our world is being dominated by the Empire who wish to control the most powerful magics.  I was once... controlled by them with what is known as a slave crown..." She drifted off with clear shame in her voice before continuing.  "But, now I fight against them with the Returners.  The money will go a long way to help and while here I can become more battle honed quicker than I could in my own world.  I can learn from studying from others and learn more about myself and my own fighting capabilities."<br/><br/>She reached down for the bottle once more and squeezed some of the citrus smelling stuff into her hand and began to slowly lather it up before running the soapy hands along her arms and chest enjoying the feeling of removing all of the dirt from her skin.  Terra looked at the dirty water at her feet in surprise for she had not realized how much grime she had acquired through the day.  She lathered up again quickly for good measure.  "I wish to know your motivation to come here as well, though Jungle-Cat, I have a question that causes more curiosity."  She paused a moment trying to figure out how to word the question that had been at the back of her mind.  "Have you always been known as Tyger?  At first, I thought it was merely ironic that your parents would name you by the abilities you possess but now knowing it is a curse," The disagreement in the categorization was clear in her voice but she moved on quickly.  "It seems more strange that you would have had the name Tyger before hand."  Terra's hands were lathering her legs as she finished and she moved to rinse them quickly and another thought occurred to her.  She was prying about something that could be very personal as if she had a right to know and the tiniest bit of concern entered her voice.  "Not that you have to share the name with me, if there is one, as I said I was just curious."<br/><br/>Once finished she turned off the water reluctantly before sticking her, now clean, arm out of the shower to get the towels Tyger had generously hung close to the shower for her.  Terra slowly began to dry herself off with the fluffy towel before wrapping it around her body much like Tyger had, only much higher to cover her chest.  She stepped out of the shower and caught sight of Tyger in a new pair of pants, thankful that he had thought enough of her to put them on.  Her eyes trailed to the piece of clothing he had in his head with a curious look but she reached for the other towel to begin drying her hair as she pulled its long length to her right shoulder to pat dry gradually rubbing harder.  Terra's gazed moved to meet his eyes with a playful smile.  "If you are going to do something to keep us from the bed tonight, I think now would be about the right time yes?"
