I used to have handmaidens who attended to me in the bath, but it's been a long time since then, and they were there to help. Not just be in there at the same time. Doing a separate thing. And I guess I'm still, um, figuring this out. "Space."
[She waggles her hands a little for emphasis.]
You know what? I just need to freshen up in the sink is all. It's fine. How are you?
[listens to rosamund explain her bathing habits like, I SEE................]
If you say so. But the stalls ain't so scary after you figure them out. [please take a shower sooner rather than later, girl.] Shit's super fucked up, but I'm... fine. And you?
[She breaks into a smile. What a way to put it. Reminds her of someone, even.]
About the same. Never expected things to go so wrong so quickly. Usually if it's going to be grim, bad things will happen straight away. Not after a week of parties and croissants for breakfast.
You think so? In my experience, it's usually when things are going okay that all of a sudden it's— [she offers her a sinking thumbs down accompanied by loud pbbbbbffffft noises.] It all goes to shit!
That does make sense? A sort of calm before the storm. [Rosamund nods.] I suppose in my case everything went very well for many years, and then it went terrible all at once, and just kept getting worse from there.
Though, this is a very different sort of terrible. Rather underhanded. [Not like monsters and wars and the forces that made your worlds turning their backs on you.] Is it more like this where you're from, or a general sort of...open-book evil?

Though from the sound of it, you're the one who's not cool with it.
