It wasn't often that Em found herself interested in occupying her time in the baths. She was almost always covered in dirt and the occasional streaks of blood from training, and usually it wasn't in her interest to waste time rinsing herself off until the very end of the night. Mostly because well there was always something that was going to get her dirty later, regardless of how hard she might try to stay clean (she didn't try that hard, mind you), unless perhaps it really was bedtime. Only then would the cleanliness last. It wasn't really to say that she was unhygienic, just...Adventurous? And the adventurous always had to have proof of their adventuresome nature-proof coming in the form of dirtiness. Hence why it was weird that the mischievous girl was bothering with visiting the baths at a curious two o'clock in the afternoon. Still, she wasn't sure what else to do with her time at the moment so why not? The spa had been calling her name and she found herself in the mood to respond. Again she'd been on guard duty at the tunnel this morning, and following that, it was a fun little run through the obstacle course. A time which had nearly resulted in a twisted ankle and had most certainly resulted in bruised legs and a few pulled muscles. She had followed through with the entire thing though, determined to beat the time of some Mars kid or another who insisted she was just another screw-off Mercury kid…Which of course she was, but the point was that she didn’t like being called as much unless it was on her own terms..And preferably just not by a Mars kid because it really wasn’t her fault that they were all uptight pricks, now, was it? No she didn’t think. Hmph, she mumbled, flicking a piece of red hair over her shoulder as she continued to the baths, evidently still offended enough. Though that would likely change within the next few moments because there wasn’t much that could keep her mind preoccupied for long.
Already, even, her train of thought was turning to the fact that the sauna itself might be nicest for her sore muscles. A massage would just irritate her, she suspected, so she proceeded into the sauna to find someone else already lounging about inside. Not that it really bothered her, as Em usually loved the company and the prospect to bother someone else, which was clear from the way that a little grin spread across her features as she spotted the other girl. "Afternoon, Red," Em brought two fingers up to her forehead, saluting the other girl in that silly way of hers, also acknowledging the fact that they shared the one little factor of hair color in common. No ginger jokes here, at least, she mused as she settled in an open spot across the girl. She didn't care much for a personal bubble, but she had learned that many others did so she slouched back against the wall, a decent distance from the other girl..Who actually, now that she thought about it, looked vaguely familiar. Alexandra..something...Em wasn't always very good with names, but she could pick the face and the first name at the very least in this case. It took her second but one other small little detail about the other woman occurred to her the more she thought about it. "Hey aren't you that girl...that can like. You know. Killer touch and all?" Em raised an eyebrow, peering at her curiously as she awaited an answer. Gods, wouldn't that be cool? She could think of a number of people in camp that would be useful on...Not that she would say such things outloud. Actually, yes, she probably would. "Was that rude? That might have been rude." She mused after a second's pause, realizing that it could have been taken as such. Of course the redhead didn't have much of a filter in terms of these things so she had forgotten to even apologize once it occurred to her that it might have been offensive.
