No real need to respond to that. Dimitri arrived a few moments later, took a moment to undress in his room, and then headed into the washroom to join her in their apparently too-small tub. However she wanted him situated, he would move accordingly.
She was leaning against the side, her arms folded on top of the edge and her chin resting on her arms, when he walked in a moment later. Then she slid forward so he could ease in behind her, chuckling softly. "I think I've gotten addicted to taking baths together."
He took up the space behind her, legs spread so she could ease between them and so he could stretch as far as possible in the, as discussed, small tub. He let his arms rest on the edges, bent at the elbows. "I admit, despite the space, it is pleasant with a partner."
Imogen didn't actually have an issue with the size of the tub, not when it allowed her to stay close to him, which she was doing now as she leaned back against him. She was content in the cradle of his body, smiling as she scooped some water to sprinkle it over his knees where they were bent out of the water ever so slightly. Then she smoothed her fingers over his skin, tilting her head back against his shoulder. "I'm going to be spoiled by sharing a bath with you. I might never like regular baths ever again."
He still did not understand why she enjoyed this so much — why she enjoyed him so much, and how he color possibly make a bath better by taking up so much space and offering so little to the conversation.
She knew it was perplexing to him sometimes why she enjoyed him so much. But it would confuse her as to why he wouldn't enjoy this closeness now that they were getting used to it.
She didn't mind that he didn't offer much for conversation, because she knew he wasn't trying to fill empty space and that he meant whatever words came out of his mouth. After being surrounded by people who were paid and trained to lie, that meant something to her.
"I like being close to you." She answered. "Also, this is something I share only with you. It's just us two, no distractions. It also feels good."
He did enjoy it, though. He liked being close to her. He liked how much she trusted him, even if he was still on the fence of whether or not she should.
"I could not imagine doing this with another." Which was a compliment, for the record, even if it sounded awkward coming from him. "I agree — it does feel good. I always enjoy my time with you."
There were times when she wondered if he would trust her if he knew the things she had done. But she liked being close to him and convincing him that he was worthy of everything she felt for him.
"I would hope not." She muttered with a mock huff, amusement softening her tone to make sure he knew she was teasing him. Then she smiled softly. "I'm happy to hear that. It only took a little while to wear you down."
"Remember when you were confused why I wouldn't leave you alone? Now look at us."
"Admittedly, I am sometimes still confused as to why you chased me so." But he had also learned to just... accept it? Most of the time? "I certainly did not expect to be here with you, but I am not ungrateful for it."
"Actually, I'm not sure why I did at first either. I just...felt safe with you and then I didn't want to leave you." She admitted softly, smiling faintly. "But I'm glad you're okay with it now. It felt like you kept waiting for me to disappear."
