Upon returning to her room, Rika filled the bath with warm water, noticing the scent that was somehow mixed in.  As the tub was filling, she stripped and laid the outfit carefully on the bed. At about that time, the bath had filled, so she turned off the water and stepped inside.  The warm water felt so good, it almost seemed like it was welcoming her. The aroma reminded her of wildflowers back on earth.  Earth. Were they ever going to get back home?  She liked the idea of adventure, of being able to explore new lands, but the danger...that was something she could do without.  The odds were stacked against them, and she knew it.<em>Will I ever see my friends and family again, </em>she thought with a sigh.  She sunk lower in to the water, reflecting her emotions, till only her nose was above the water.<em>I can't worry about it too much. If I do, then I'll lose hope, and right about now, hope is pretty much all I've got. </em>In an attempt to clear her worries from her head, she did her best to enjoy the bath and relax. More than likely, it'd be one of the few chances she'd get in his strange new world.
