Time for Convalescing

Paega let out an exasperated groan as Christian told her that she needed to get a hold of her drinking habit before she started drinking again. It was going to be difficult to break out of her habit now, but from the way it looked, it didn't look as though she would be drinking that whiskey anytime soon. "Well feth." she muttered, as she looked hopelessly at the glass of whiskey that he was drinking.

She patiently listened to what he had to say regarding Zeltros. "Fascinting." she replied with a bored yawn, as she tried to straighten out her blonde hair. Paega remembered now, that Christian owned a string of casinos and resorts on Zeltros. That's where his wealth came from. "Mind if I go take a shower?" she intruded abruptly, just as Christian finished speaking.

Without waiting for a reply from Christian, she simply got off and headed towards the suite bath. It didn't look as if she would be leaving for now, so she decided she might as well as freshen herself up while she had the time.

"I employ you to clean yourself up...", Christian muttered as he glanced over at Paega leaving the room. He then glanced back at the holoscreen, uninterested in her bathing as he actively tried pushing the thoughts of her unclothed form out of his mind. He had always found Paega attractive, but he'd tried to see her as more of a little sister than a sexual interest since he'd begun training her.

In truth, this had been partly why he was so upset with the woman when thinking about the condition he'd found her in. Used up, drunk and high was about what he expected after seeing what had become of the woman. It was disappointing to know that she'd been a showgirl of some sort, which he'd guessed by the scantily clad way she was dressed, and from what he could tell he smelled the stench of other men on her when he'd found her only hours ago that night before.

She was better than that. He just wished she understood it.

Taking a shower helped Paega clear up her thoughts. Whereas everything had been a hazy blur before, the hot bath helped bring her back to reality. Coming out of the shower, she felt more focused than she had been in the past month or so. Ignoring her discarded show outfit on the floor, the blonde woman wrapped a towel around herself instead, before stepping outside. The towel did a better job covering her than the outfit she had on.

Feeling refreshed, she walked back to where Christian was, and remained standing up as she dried her hair with another towel. "So what are you up to these days? Besides drinking whiskey and slaughtering people who attack your casinos and resorts, I mean." she asked.
