*It took Leah a long while to settle her thoughts and her memories before her weariness finally caught up with her and she drifted off to sleep...*

Paulin woke up later than usual. Looking outside his window, he noticed that he still had some time before Leah was due for her sitting... and that she'd most likely be late. He went into the room's bathing chambers, intent on washing off some of the sweat and dirt from yesterday before she arrived for her painting.

*Leah slept in rather late, only waking up when she heard her mother yelling at her... again. Groaning, Leah pulled the covers over her head, only to have them yanked back down again.*
"Get up you lazy girl! You're late again! Journeyman Paulin is waiting!"
*At hearing Paulin's name, Leah was immediately up, silently cursing herself as she ran into her bathing chamber, quickly sanding off all of the grime from the previous day's adventures... Her mother watched her in amazement as she dried off as quickly as possible, slipping into her gown and rapidly braiding her ribbons around her hair. Before her mother could even move to push her out of the doorway, Leah was off, hurrying to go meet Paulin...*

Paulin relaxed in the bathing chamber, enjoying himself. When he heard someone enter his chambers proper, he didn't even look up, presuming that it was a drudge sent to inform him that Leah would be late.

*Leah was surprised to find that Paulin was no where in sight when she entered his chambers... Frowning, her eyes quickly searched the room before she stepped warily into his bathing chamber... She smiled when she saw him there in the water, leaning against the wall by the entrace as she watched him...*

Paulin lay in the water with his eyes closed, enjoying the feel of it. He opened his eyes and immediately began floundering. "Leah! I mean... M'lady! What are you doing here?" He asked, coughing water slightly as he stood up.

*Leah laughed softly, her eyes never leaving him.* "Well, I originally came for a portrait, but I decided that admiring the view was far more interesting..."

Despite what they had been through yesterday, Paulin blushed. "I never expected that you'd actually show up on time..."

"You can thank my mother and her extremely loud voice... Hard to sleep when she's screaming at you..." *Leah just smirked at him, her eyes not really focused on his for any length of time as her gaze constantly strayed over the rest of him...*

Paulin grinned. "Well, as far as I'm concerned, we're still ahead of schedule."

*Leah glanced warily back at the door to his chambers before grinning, quickly running over and locking the door and shoving a chair in front of it before eagerly returning to the bathing chamber, laughing softly...*

Paulin raised an eyebrow. "What's so funny?"

"This constant sneaking around and all of the measures we have to take to prevent being caught... It's amusing..."

"Amusing it may be, but aren't there more... interesting things you could be doing than laughing?" Paulin asked, a suggestive gleam in his eyes.

"Oh yes... far more interesting things..." *Leah grinned at him and, with one last glance toward the door, began sliding her gown off of her shoulders...*
