思い || Feelings.

All the stress from the previous week accumulated into anger and upset within [Y/N]. As if the jumble of emotions weren't enough there were multiple issues that the female had to deal with. Paperwork continued to file in one stack after another. Ja'far and [Y/N] worked as fast and diligently as they could and took very little to no breaks during the time that piled in.

The days were long, hot, and even sometimes humid. All they had were the hand held fans and their feather shaped pens to sign with at the bottom of the said paper work they struggled to rid majority of.

Ever so often when they did go on breaks, the young female spent her time dwelling about other matters that only piled onto her stress—similar to how the papers seemed to stack on each other.

The simple thought of confessing to her beloved king kept crossing her mind and it left her to wonder if it was a good idea or not. What if his trust would be broken? Why would it even be broken to begin with? This was far from anything simple.

Rather, this was more complex than anyone had mad it out to be. Sinbad had a lot of trust in all his household vessels, obviously. Every thought that wiggled its way into her brain made her contradict herself. Nothing made any sense anymore.

[Y/N] sighed to herself and got up from the seat she had been sitting in for what seemed to be at least 48 hours. Ja'far looked up at the woman, curious as to why she had abruptly risen.

"I think it's time we take an actual break from all this work," she turned towards the door, "I know you've been up later than me, working on another load before you go to bed." Ja'far looked stunned for a second before smiling and getting up as well, maybe he did deserve to give himself a break.

"If you insist." Replies the white haired man.

Without a word, the female opened the door and left to grab her belongings from her room. Her muscles were aching and stiff from long hours in the same hunched-back position. A bath sounded almost as good as the pleasures of eating something oh-so-sweet at the break of dawn.

She collected her belongings that would be needed to soak in the hot spring behind the building of which she resided it. Her dainty fingers moved to untie the ribbon in which held her clothes together. The past few weeks had been busy but it was also a pleasant break from the duties of guarding or combatting. Heavy armor had been replaced by smooth silks and soft cotton material. Honestly it was the best.

The ribbon fell down elegantly, material spiraling down and overlapping over each other and came to an end to finally rest by her feet. Naturally the cloth that loosely hung around her shoulders escaped off her body. She moved her hair out of the the way and unclipped the undergarment which held her bosom together and then moved to remove the rest of her clothing. She grabbed the white rob that laid on her bed of where she slept and moved to cover up her bare skin.

After situationing herself she grabbed her essentials and moved onward to the outdoor hot spring. Sure, it had been hot out lately but she was extremely tense. She longed for the steaming water to submerge her body and undo her nerves and rid her accumulated stress that seem to worsen by the minute.

Her bare feet took her to the body of water, light taps filling the silent halls as she finally arrived at her destination. It was still bright outside but the sun was beginning to move towards the mountains, pulling along the day as it signaled that night would be near in a few hours. [Y/N] squinted at the blazing sun before dipping her pointed feet into the water slowly, almost to savor the feeling of released stress one by one.

As she slowly slid in she decided that she would remove the robe altogether, almost confident that she would be alone and no male would decide to join her in her "alone time."
