Summary; Drawing baths, and detailing backstories, oh my!
Log;
River was fascinated by water - and not just because of the connection to her name. The way it moved reminded her of dancing, streams of molecules rushing and crashing together - yet it had a purely scientific basis, could be classified and shaped. She liked to watch it as it ran out from the taps, occasionally holding the palm of her hand under it to feel the light, warm pressure on her skin. "Water, life water," she spoke softly to herself, "letters, HO, and numbers, 2. Letters and numbers. Life formulae."
Of course, there was nobody there to hear her, and even if somebody had been in the room, her words would have been drowned out by the running water as it steadily filled the bath. Tsubaki had asked if she could draw it for her, and River... liked doing things like this. Something normal, something functional. Something that proved she was more than just letters and numbers.
She rose up, sighing. Tsubaki had asked something else. Something about... functions and fighting, and definitions, and weapons, and River. And... past. She couldn't remember the exact words - it was hard. Things like that got easily confused in her mind. They were all so similar to her, about her, to do with her. It was difficult to sort one idea from another.
Walking out into the other room, barefoot as always, she fiddled with her hair. "Water's running. Won't win any races, but still it runs." She looked up at the other girl, bruised from her day's training, and smiled awkwardly. "It's very curious."
