[And that is the sound of a body flopping into a down comforter and cushy mattress.

It's followed by the sound of disappointment.]

Steph...

[Except what she'll hear is more like "mmmmphhh," since his face is currently buried in a pillow.]

[controlledvariable]

[No, that's the sound of revenge.

And the sound of a tap being turned on so that a ridiculously sized bath tub can be filled up.

She did say her first plan was to take a bath.]

[Oh, hey. There's a sound Saul likes!

He sits up immediately, expression eager and eyes all aglow.

He should know better.]

[controlledvariable]

[He really should.

What happens is this: Steph comes back into the bedroom to take off everthing but her underwear, casually keeping out of Saul's reach the entire time, then without paying much attention to him, except to toss a coy smile his way, wanders back into the bathroom.

If he follows, and she knows he will, he's going to find the bathroom door shut in his face.

And then locked.

Because she's a little shit.]

[GOD

DAMN IT

Saul stares at her the whole time, biting his lip and grinning and making his stupid plan obvious as hell, so he really has no right to whine when she shuts the door and locks it but he does it anyway.

Complete with pawing at the door.

Why this.]

Steph!

[Laughter drifts through the door, as does the sound of the taps being turned off and someone climbing into the bath.]

Something wrong, princess?

[God help her a bath is the best thing that's ever happened to her.]

[She might not be able to hear his sigh over the sound of the water, so he's sure to make it extra loud and exasperated.

Whatever; she can take her bath. He'll... unpack, he guesses. Or channel surf. Or both, simultaneously. God, when's the last time he watched TV?]
