He got up to go to the bathroom- there was an adjacent bathroom right in the bedroom, pretty convenient- and took a good look at Sanshi as he went, smiling at her. She was not bad looking at all; He had heard a stereotype that middle eastern women were nigh indistinguishable from the men, but he laughed at that notion. He felt he got along well enough with her that they could be in a relationship, but for the first few months they knew each other, it was difficult to really get over the culture shock.<br/><br/>The heat of the cabin was on full now, apparently someone downstairs had fiddled with the thermostat. He wore insulated socks, heavy winter pants, and a thick sweatshirt underneath all the skiing stuff he removed earlier, and he took all this stuff off now. Now he stood barefoot, in a t shirt and some gym shorts. If there was a basketball court around, Corey was ready to do some damage, but they were also comfortable clothes to wear underneath all that junk. He turned on the faucet and washed his hands with warm water, and washed his face off a bit. He couldn't find any towels, so he wiped his hands with dissatisfaction on his pants. He exited the bathroom, flicking off that light, and sat back on the bed again. He tried to remember for a second what she just said, and then articulated his response.</em>"Well I suppose whoever was here last must have gotten pretty sick of Scrabble."<br/><br/><em>After a moment of silence, he looked into Sanshi's eyes, primed to ask a serious question.</em>"I hope this doesn't sound rude, but do you like me at all? You know what I mean when I say that, right?"
