Rosetta~

“Apologize…” Rose rolled the word around in her mouth as if it is alien to her taste. It is not that the girl is against the idea of apologizing, but she knew she wouldn’t. Rose is sorry for what she had said. She is also sorry for what they would never become. However, it was the right thing to do. Saying sorry now would meant the hurt from last night had accomplished nothing.

As the deity began to run the warm washcloth on her back, Rose’s muscles tensed as the heat touched her cool skin. It felt good, therapeutic to her stressed night. After a long deafening silence, the heat was replaced with something cool and wet. It took Rose a second to realize the deity had pressed itself against her. Shivering slightly at the touch, Rose danger alert blared out in alarm as the deity spoke in her ears with words dripping with venom "But if you try to hurt him more, then I will hurt you...I won't let you take advantage of him, are we clear?"

Pausing a moment to think, Rose turned to the deity and grabbed the shower gel on the side. She squeezed a generous gloop of its content into her hand and rubbed her two hands together to make foam and bubbles. Sliding both hands up and down Hebi’s arms, she coats the deity’s body with the potion. Her hands paused briefly at the Deity’s neck, holding on softly to not hurt her, and spoke with a control tone that has a subtle bitter underlining to it. “Believe me I would like nothing more than to have the Prince safe and well. It’s just that...” Letting her hand slide down from their threatening position, “....that sometimes his feelings must be compromised.”

After Rose is satisfied the deity was coated with soap suds, she began rubbing some into her own skin. Her rubbed hard, hoping to wash away her guilt, regret and sense of duty. If only the world was that easy.
