Evanna was soaking in the bath, the wooden room divider by her side, hiding herself from Cilv. Unlike her, she was not so open with her body; it was only Maggie who had seen her naked without embarrassment. Cilv was the equivalent to an acquaintance, and even if they were friends, she would still bathe behind a divider or, more comfortably, a wall.
Sighing, she finally got out of the now slightly cold water; after drying herself off, she put her clothes back on, except for the dark blue top and her boots, leaving her in her breeches and black shirt. Evanna pouted as she walked towards the right side of the bed with her clothes in hand; she really did miss having a night-chemise to sleep freely in bed, though she loved her outfit for the day time, it was very restricting for bed.
Cilv was sprawled out on the left side of the bed, seeming more comfortable with her now than when they were meant to share a tent. Evanna walked over to Cilv’s side to grab the jug of water placed on the side table. She found herself parched after the hot bath. As she started to pour the jug into the cleaner glass, she found it empty.
"Oops, sorry, princess.. I got thirsty," Cilv exclaimed, masking a giggle at Evanna’s annoyed face. Grabbing her boots, she quickly slipped them on before grabbing the jug to take down to the bar. She huffed as she looked back at Cilv while taking the jug with her outside of the room. Evanna heard the woman giggle as she closed the door. She shook her head before making her way down the stairs towards the now quiet bar.
As she stood at the bar, she quickly got the innkeeper’s attention; passing the jug over, she asked for it to be filled up with water. The man snatched it reluctantly and left behind a door. She did not notice from earlier where they needed to go to get water; maybe it was easier to serve the alcohol provided? Evanna leant her arms onto the bar as she patiently waited, ignoring the gazes she felt on her back. Though she did not realise they were the gazes of three men that had been humiliated earlier that day in the black market.
"Well, well, well... Look who it is..."
