[ as it turns out, there are some advantages to having Saint-Germain's mansion to themselves for a while. Sure, it's lonely, and the house seems awfully empty with just the two of them at times - but, on the other hand, Lupin can suggest things like taking a bath together and not have to worry about anyone other than Sisi barging in on them. (Which wouldn't actually be a bad thing, honestly.) So that's exactly what he's decided to do tonight. It had taken a bit of persuading on his part - even if Cardia never cared about baring her Horologium, she always seemed skittish when it came to seeing him in any state of undress - but what kind of gentleman thief would he be if he couldn't sweet-talk his lover into a little bit of romance?
Well. If she'd really been opposed, he wouldn't have pushed it, but he didn't think she was. And Lupin never does anything halfway. There are candles. There are bubbles. There are even rose petals in and around the bath. And there is one phantom thief sitting up to his chest in the water, waiting for his lovely lady to make her appearance. Sometimes, he just wants to spoil her a little - and he doesn't think anyone would blame him. She's a girl who never had anything; he can't help wanting to go overboard and give her everything. ]
Come on in! The water's fine. I'll even look away if you're feeling shy.
