mid afternoon was aproching and the two where preparing for he festival

"I'm going to go bathe alright? so no coming out of the house for the next fifteen minutes" I woman glared

"you really have no bathe-room?" the adeptus questioned

"the last time re furnished this old place was about a thousand years ago. plus I live alone" she scoffed as she pranced outside.

as the woman exit-ed the back of the house her eyes where met with the little pool of water separated from the rest of the stream that she used to use to bathe in day by day

down the stream a large pool could be seen, a home to fish of many kinds and just before that was the water preserve she would use for drinking

the woman sighed slid off her clothes the elegant features of her body hitting the now setting sun. as the last hems of her undershirt leaving her body completely exposed she sank into the cold water of the stream

~...~

a few minutes later I felt I was bathed enough and pulled myself out of the water. I pulled my towel over my body and tucked the seams into the fold and grabbed my clothes 

I approached the house and opened the door to a sleeping Alatus

"awh" I chuckled softly walking up to him and brushed some of his hair out of his face

I pushed myself back up from the kneeling position I was in and headed towards my room. I sighed to myself as I looked into my pouch

 I reached my arm deep inside the pocket sized bag from which I drew a dress that I had bought a couple thousand years ago, when I actually could go to festivals (I was lucky nothing aged inside that bag)

it was a simple hanfu nothing  of the modern sort but the ones you would wear with a ribbon or sash tied around your waist and with the long sleeves. absolutely nothing like the  tight short dressed you would wear nowadays (or so I heard from the lady selling dresses)

I removed my towel and proceeded to use it to dry my hair once it was damp and not dripping wet I I grabbed an anemo and pyro vision and used it to create a warm air vortex  that would make my hair dry and fluffy 

once my hair was dry I combed it  and slipped on my under-garments as I tied the dress around my body.  

"hmmm? ying you in there?" sleepy voice came from outside the door

I walked over and opened the door my hair in a half bun (xie lian style) to a ruffled sleepy Alatus 

"my oh my~ I didn't believe you to be a sleeper Alatus"I joked teasingly

"s-shut up"he said, his cheeks and ears tainted by a light strawberry red from both sleep and embarrassment 

he trudged over to me snaking his arms around my waist while resting his cheek on my shoulder

" you have to leave soon you know, and I cant not keep my hair like this forever you know" I said indicating to my half tied hair, in an attempt to pass over my now red cheeks.
