It was starting to sound to Rose as though Aria's upbringing had been as fraught with danger as her own, though with the danger coming more from men than from nature.  Certainly, the rumors she'd heard about Luskan and the supposed frequency of plots and power plays while she travelled through it had done more than a little to hasten her on her journey.  It hadn't quite seemed like the sort of place that would be all that pleasant to live in, though she was guessing that an aristocratic upbringing had left Aria with a slightly different view of the country than she'd gotten herself, traipsing around at street-level.<br/><br/>She soon found herself getting a much closer view of the tiefling's body as the woman closed the distance between them, however.  Things definitely looked better close-up, and she was busy enough taking in the sights that she wasn't at all bothered by the woman's failure to ask permission before reaching out to touch her.  Looking back up to her eyes soon enough, though, the shifter answered her friend's question.<br/><br/>"Well, you're right that it was a scimitar, but I'm afraid the Bedine aren't the sort to waste a blade on a woman."  She commented, shrugging.  "It's not a society that's all that... friendly towards women, even if the highest-ranking ones can command a great deal of respect.  My problems there were more just being shut out of the loop and... ostracized, I think the word is.  No, that little beauty actually came from a little encounter down on the Sword Coast.  I had a bit of a... run-in with this genie.  His scimitar cut low and shallow, and my guisarme wound up a little higher and a lot deeper.  As I recall, that's actually where I got my enlarging ring..."<br/><br/>Though, speaking of which, it suddenly occurred to her that that might be something fun to try...  Well, assuming the bath was big enough, anyway.<br/><br/>"You know, if you'd like a better look at the scar, I can always put that ring to use."  Rose offered, glancing down at Aria's hand, hovering just above her breast.  "We might get a little water on the floor, though.  And I'm sure the positioning would be... awkward."<br/><br/>Not that she sounded worried.  Actually, her voice had started to take on that same flirting tone she had used with Luneth.  A little teasing, clearly looking forward to the point where things would cross a certain line...  And perhaps curious as to how much pushing it would take to get past said line.  A bit like a big cat, toying with some prey...  But then, Rose wasn't an actual tigress, and her viewpoint certainly wasn't predatory.  She was actually looking at this bath as more of a chance for some bonding, to help develop the friendship that seemed to have sprung up between the two of them.
