You currently find yourself in your tastefully appointed bedroom, a sanctuary of tranquility. Your present task involves a modest workload from Tony, which primarily involves running through some protocols. As you dedicate your attention to these tasks, you find the atmosphere around you is one of quiet efficiency.

Moments pass, and you eventually stretch your limbs and gracefully rise from your comfortable seat. Contemplating the idea, a notion begins to dawn on you - perhaps a rejuvenating bath would be a delightful indulgence at this juncture. With this thought in mind, you elegantly tread towards your bathroom, the anticipation of the impending relaxation already heightening your senses.

In the living room, you notice Loki engrossed in a captivating book, his appreciation for the serene ambiance evident. This observation strengthens your resolve to pamper yourself in your private sanctuary. Once inside your bathroom, you embark on the ritual of preparing your bath.

With meticulous care, you decide to elevate this bath into a luxurious experience. As fragrant droplets of Lavender and Rose oil dance upon the water's surface, the room becomes suffused with a delightful aroma that instantly soothes your senses. The bouquet is so captivating that you cannot help but smile.

In the ensuing moments, you gradually shed your garments, allowing them to fall in a hushed rustle. Your anticipation grows, and you gracefully ease into the bath, feeling the warm, almost hot, water envelop your body like a tender caress. It moves like liquid silk, sensuously tracing the contours of your skin, and an immediate sense of relief and serenity washes over you.

With each passing second, you sense the tension in your back, a product of time spent at your computer, melting away. It is a small act of self-indulgence, but one that carries immense significance in this moment. You recline in the luxurious bath, immersed in the soothing stillness, basking in the sweet scent that lingers in the air, and appreciating the opportunity for profound relaxation that this well-deserved bath affords you.

As you luxuriate in the bath, the serenity of the moment allows your thoughts to wander freely. The warm waters cradle your body, and it's almost as if they've wrapped you in a cocoon of tranquility. The aroma of Lavender and Rose oil blends seamlessly with the steam rising from the bath, creating an olfactory symphony that resonates with your senses.

Your mind, typically occupied with deadlines and tasks, now finds solace in this oasis of calm. The gentle rippling of the water becomes a soothing lullaby, and your gaze fixates on the play of candlelight dancing across the tiles. In this private sanctuary, you discover the rare gift of solitude.

With your back finally unburdened of the day's tensions, you contemplate the importance of self-care. It dawns on you that these moments of indulgence, seemingly small in the grand scheme of life, are the threads that weave the fabric of well-being. Your thoughts meander through the day's events, your dreams, and your aspirations.

The soft echo of Loki's distant reading reminds you of the shared understanding that exists between you two—the need for peaceful solitude at times, and the mutual respect for one another's spaces. It's a bond that has grown stronger over time, creating a harmonious living environment.

In the midst of your tranquil bath, a sudden, discreet knock resonates from the door, invoking a momentary pause in your serene solitude. The sound, although unexpected, weaves an element of anticipation into the tranquil air.

With grace, Loki's voice pierces the silence, a velvety timbre carrying an air of curiosity, as he inquires, "Do you mind the company?" His eyes, as he opens the door and regards you, exude an enigmatic charm that blends seamlessly with the calm ambiance of your bathroom.

You consider his presence for a brief moment, the decision unfolding as you speak with a measured tone, "I don't think so." Your response carries a touch of intrigue, mirroring the air of mystery that Loki often embodies.
