[ Sif would rarely admit to it, but it was nice to be around comrades again. It gave her a sense of nostalgia really. Especially when she, Peter and Rey ended up in a bar room brawl. That had been a fun battle, albeit a quick one. Though it had been dirty enough to leave the trio with clothes covered in various spirits, and nursing a few minor injuries but nothing that needed major attention.
Certainly nothing a good bath couldn't handle and well Sif had taken note that the planet they were visiting offered several different styles of bathhouses. There was even one that was reminiscent of the ones that were on Asgard back in the day.
Thus the trio now found themselves in a fairly large sized room in the bathhouse, the steam and fresh floral notes filling the air as they undressed themselves.]
This place certainly has everything.
[ She noted as she pulled her tunic over her head, tossing it on top of her discarded armor. While glancing over to the various soaps and scented oils that were placed there for their enjoyment. ]
[Rey was trying to figure out just how she managed to get herself caught up in a bar fight that ended up being a tag team fight with Sif and Peter in tow. It had something to do with one party talking too loudly, or leering at her (or was it at Sif), and Rey's patience was already on edge. The wrong word was said, or someone smiled at her in a sleazy manner, and all hell broke loose.
Now her clothes were bloody, cut up, and her body was sore from blocking blows. There were a few superficial cuts, but at least there were no broken bones or blaster burns. Really, they were walking away practically unscathed.
Sif had something about finding a place to clean up, and Rey was in agreement with the woman and fell warrior. They took off for the planet. Soon enough they were in a bath house that had many scents than Rey could've imagined. ]
It certainly does...This for all of us to share--!!
[Rey asked, looking around only to turn to see Sif already stripping and forced herself to turn and look away to give the other warrior some privacy.
Okay? So...maybe they were sharing the bath together? Well, the area was pretty big and there was plenty of steam to...hide them?
It wasn't that Rey was ashamed of her body, but she was used to doing things on her own and not having company around her. But...she was tired, and maybe, it wouldn't be bad? Sif could have one area, she could have another..
And Peter could be in a corner somewhere, not looking at them.]
Should I get towels or...are those provided for us? [Stars, help her.]
[ Ending a mission and being in dire need of a shower wasn't new for the Guardians. Frankly, Peter wished they didn't have to fight slimy monsters (or disgusting men in today's case) so often. It was pure bad luck that the same end happened when he was hanging out with Sif and Rey. At least they were lucky enough that the Asgardian warrior has found them a lovely bathhouse to wash out the grime and relax their sore muscles. A mixed bathhouse, no less.
Now Peter is taking in the views, getting rid of his jacket and boots, then his blood-stained shirt when he looks back at Sif and starts to really take in the lovely views. ]
It really is something else, I'm on no rush to leave.
[ Unfortunately for Rey, when she turns away from staring at Sif she probably comes to face Peter kicking off the rest of his clothes and standing there only in his navy underwear, strong thighs on display. His hair is a mess and there are a few new bruises adorning his right shoulder and the left side of his body. He doesn't seem to mind, having had much worse in the past.
So much for him being in a corner somewhere, not looking at them, uh? Sorry Rey! ]
Nah, I think the staff left some around...oh yeah, right there. [ Peter waves a hand towards a lovely wood-carved bench on one side of the pool, with towels of different sizes on it. Noticing Rey acting weird, Peter gets closer and raises a hand to cup her cheek. ] Rey, are you hurt? Your face is looking a little too red.
[ Modesty among her fellow comrades wasn't something that Sif ever had to worry about. She was use to sharing baths with her fellow warriors especially after battles or particular hard training sessions. So it doesn't occur to her that Rey or Peter might be uncomfortable with the notion. ]
Given the sheer amount of soaps and oils, I'm certain we are meant to share them.
[ Sif replied as she sat down to remove her boots before standing back up to shimmy out of her pants. Asgardians didn't really bother with undergarments, so her nudity was complete the moment the pants were gone. Obviously she didn't mind being seen by Rey or Peter at this point.]
There's more towels over here.
[ She stated, picking up a large white towel on the bench nearest to her and wrapping it around her body with no real fanfare. It was only when Peter asked Rey if she were hurt that she glanced back over to the pair. ]
Ah, she'll feel better once she hits the water. Would you like me to wash your hair, Rey?
[ Sif offered as she picked up one of the beautiful smelling soaps in ornate looking bottle that she recognized to be a sort of shampoo. Once more she glanced over to Rey and Peter with a smile, letting her eyes roam over them. Though she noted that Rey seemed to be the most dressed of them.]
[Well...Rey's two companions are stripping and removing their clothes without a damn care. Clearly, this meant the bathhouse will be relaxing for the two of them and Rey could focus on getting clean and not paying attention to Sif's slender form, or how strong and well sculpted Peter's body was.
Great.
Poe would probably be fine in a setting like this, and Finn would be just as...nervous? Worried? Uncomfortable? About this situation as Rey. But, she was tired, and done with the day. It would only be for a few hours, and she could handle that. Right?
Until Peter decided to check up on in her--in his briefs--and her cheeks felt warm.]
No, I'm fine. Just tired--I'll be better once I'm in the water as Sif said. [She told him, grateful that Sif was helping but--was she looking at her--trying to remain calm. Rey quickly turned away from Peter, moving to grab a towel before finding her own little area to start undoing her hair from its three bun style. From there she quickly slipped off her boots and stripped out of her clothes. In an instant she had the towel wrapped around her body, covering up the few scars she had on her back from years of living on Jakku and the bruise on her side from a well placed kick.]
Uh...sure, Sif, I wouldn't mind. [Might as well give that a shot. Nothing wrong there.]
I'm going to test the waters, see if it's too hot? [That's what one does in a bath house, wasn't it? Various tubs with water and you pick which one to go to and enjoy it?
Before Sif or Peter could stop Rey, she found her way to a tub and all but jumped in.]
[ Peter had seen Sif naked before, and he knew that undressing in front of people they trusted wasn't a big deal for Asgardians. It was in part the reason why Peter also got used to not care about how much of his skin was on display. ]
We did have a rather eventful day. [ His voice was kind and his eyes soft when he looked at Rey. She got pretty bruised and all he wanted is to make sure both of his friends were really okay. Sif, being an Asgardian, probably wasn't even disheveled, though.
Sure enough, when Peter throws a glance at Sif's direction he finds himself giving the brunette an appreciative look when she just stood there naked after getting rid of her pants. He was also immediately disappointed when that gorgeous, muscular body got covered by a towel. Oh well. ]
I could give you a massage, Rey. These hands can do wonders. Right, Sif? [ Once Sif approached them, Peter winked at the woman, and then his attention turned back to their friend who was now moving away from him to work on her hair and clothes. He chuckled when Rey just straight out jumped into one of the pools as if to escape them. Sharing an amused look with Sif, Peter shrugged. ]
I guess that's a no on the massage. I can do your hair while you do Rey's, if you want. [ He leaned in to brush a lock of hair away from Sif's face, cupping it behind her ear. ] I better go get rid of my clothes too.
[ Moving towards the bench, his back to both women, Peter finishes undressing, even folding his underwear before he bothers putting on a towel around his hips. Enjoy the view. ]
[ Sif offered up a nod and a grin when asked to confirm Peter's skill with his hands as she removed the tie that kept her hair in tight ponytail. Though she was starting to pick up on Rey's seeming shyness of the situation. It honestly never occurred to her that Rey hadn't been to a bathhouse before and well the other woman had not said anything when the topic came up.
However she couldn't hide her amusement when Rey retreated to the bath almost immediately after getting disrobed, not even looking to her and Peter. Sif whispered so that only Peter would hear her.] I think someone just needs a moment to acclimate and relax.
[ Quickly she cleared her throat and spoke up louder to Peter's query over washing her hair as she picked up the shampoo bottle again. While he finished disrobing himself, Sif gave him another appreciative glance.] Yes, that would be splendid, Peter. Especially considering your talented fingers.
[ She added with a playful wink, before walking over to the tub that Rey had flung herself into towel and all. For Rey's sake, Sif kept her towel on as she climbed into the tub as well and gestured for Rey to come closer. Though she made certain to leave room for Peter, when he came to join them. ] Come, it'll be easier to wash your hair if you sit beside me.
[Rey emerged from the water after a few seconds, unaware of what Peter and Sif had discussed, or the looks exchanged. The water was the perfect temperature. It felt heavenly, and oddly made her think she was in the perfect cup of soup. She could easily stay in the water, already feeling some of her stress start to melt away. They would stay for a handful of hours? Maybe? One could only hope.
Rey kept the towel to her body, making sure to keep one hand clutched to it at all times. Her free hand came up to wipe her face, removing any water drops from clinging to her eye lashes. Sif was in the tub with her towel on, so clearly, this was how it was done...right?
Never mind the fact that there was still room for Peter to join directly behind them. She thought he would find another area? She didn't know, but at her friend's request she moved closer to her. ]
Coming. [scooting, moving closer until she was sitting next to Sif, drawing one knee to her chest. Rey's hair reached her shoulders and lazily floated on the water's surface.]
Do you need me to move closer? [She asked, making sure to keep her eyes on the water and no where else.
With her back to Sif, the older woman would be able to see the faint scars along her shoulder blades and back. Years of working as a scavenger had taken their toll on her body.]
[ Thanks, Sif, Peter knows he can always count on you to back him off. He will also happily wax poetic about the Asgardian skills, and her muscles, and her gorgeous looks...Not like Rey has anything to be ashamed of, not even because of the scars. She's still skilled and amazing, and a very gorgeous woman to boot.
Peter finds the shyness to be charming on its own, even if he would like it for Rey to be more comfortable around them. They won't bite Unless she asks. The Guardian nods in agreement at Sif's words, understanding that not everyone is as carefree when it comes to nudity, or comfortable around others that way. For the moment, Peter will give Rey space and try not to embarrass her (much), figuring that she might be more comfortable around another woman.
That wink from Sif gets her a pleased smile in return, though. It's easy to feel carefree around her. He keeps the towel around his hips when he slides into the hot water, a pleased sigh escaping him with his sore muscles immediately start to feel better. If they all didn't have better plans in mind, Peter might have ended dozing off in the pool, happy as a clam. But no time to sleep when he has such a good company.
Peter watches them for a little while, mentally thinking Oh yes, move closer, at Rey's words. Ey, enjoying the eye candy is free, and he's only human. It doesn't take him long to swim closer to Sif, brushing his arm on the way to move behind her. He wets his hands and runs his fingers through her hair, looking over Sif shoulder at Rey. ]
How are you doing there? First time in a bathhouse, I take it?
[ Sif had to bite her bottom lip to keep from chuckling as her amusement threatened to get the better of her. Rey's inexperienced with how bathhouses worked was actually an endearing sort of thing to see. She also took it to mean that Rey was likely as attracted to her and Peter as they were to her. So that was a good thing.
Sif herself also moved a little closer as Rey settled beside her, pointedly looking away. ]
You're fine. I can reach you.
[ She answered after a beat, gently raking her fingers through Rey's already wet hair to loosen the strands before putting the shampoo on. Instinctively she glances over her shoulder as Peter moves over behind her and gives him a knowing smile. She momentarily leaned her own head back as her hair was certainly longer than Rey's, which was certainly a reason she kept it tied back in battle.
Lightly Sif brushed her fingers over the faint scars on Rey's shoulders, before giving her shoulders a gentle squeezed. Despite the callouses on Sif's fingers from years of being a warrior, she still could have a soft touch at times. As demonstrated by the way she brushed her fingers through Rey's dark locks. ]
I some times forget that not all of my comrades have enjoyed communal baths. It was a sort of tradition on Asgard. It was a good way to bond after a hard fought battle.
[ She explained, as she poured some of the shampoo into her hand, before handing it over for Peter to use on her as well. She hoped a brief explanation would help Rey relax a bit more. Slowly she began rubbing the beautifully scented soap into Rey's hair. Her fingers making massaging movements over the other woman's scalp to aid in the effort of loosening Rey up. ]
[Rey ignored Peter's presence as she heard him get into the tub with them. Well, so much for what she thought would happen. That was fine. They were all adults, and they would be able to handle themselves. Nothing would happen, right? The galaxy wouldn't tear itself apart because the three of them got into a bath together...hopefully.
At his question, she nodded her head a little, mindful of what Sif was trying to do.]
Doing fine...and yes. It's...different than what I thought it would be. [They're in a bath, a big one. Not an individual one...but semantics.] Places like these were a luxury we couldn't afford to take...and even now it's...[What would be the word for it?] I don't have anything to compare it to.
[Yes, that was it. Nothing else to compare it to...although Sif's hands were doing wonders on Rey's scalp. Just enough pressure to make her relax a little more, and the scent of the shampoo was really nice.]
Ahh...Sif, could you move your hand down a little more? Please? [She asked, gesturing for Sif's hand to move from the base of her skull down her neck.]
[ Nothing had to happen if Rey didn't want it. For now, they were relaxing and washing each other hair. Or Rather, Sif and Peter were relaxing and poor Rey had to handle naked people very close to her. It was good to know that the jedi might be interested in them or at least curious.
Gently grabbing the long hair, Peter moves it aside to place a kiss on the curve of Sif's shoulder after they looked eyes. When he spoke up, his voice was a mix of amused and mortified. ]
I can testify that it is. Thor once walked on me in the shower just to talk to me, because he couldn't wait to tell me that he beat Rocket at cards. Rocket always cheats, so that was quite the feat, but still...
[ Peter grabbed the shampoo but didn't immediately pour it on Sifs hair, instead he started with wetting it some more and then running his fingers through it, nails scratching the scalp. Then he added, teasing. ]
[ Instinctively Sif gave Peter any sly gaze as she felt that soft kiss to her shoulder. Though she couldn't contain her chuckle as he spoke of Thor's impatience. She could see it, heck she had seen it happen before, though it was because he had bested Loki in a game of wits and it was quite rare, since Loki also always cheated. ]
Yes, when Thor has a story to share, he certainly won't wait for something like a bath to be finished.
[ She giggled as she moved her fingers down to the base of Rey's skull as asked. She made the effort to massage the area as she noted the tension there. Before running her fingers through Rey's strands of hair again, allowing the suds to bubble up and spread around more. ]
If you are in need of a good neck and shoulder massage, I can attest to the fact that Peter is quite talented at giving massages. Even better than myself.
[ Though her tone was amused, she obviously meant the compliment and she wasn't ashamed to admit that his skill at it was greater than hers. ]
[Rey stiffened at Peter's telling of Thor walking in on him in the shower. However the moment was short lived thanks to the work of Sif's fingers.]
Is he always impatient? He manages to barge in regardless of what others are doing. [Not as a dig or anything mean, but truly a wonder. It seemed very...childlike? Was that the right phrase? Perhaps not, Finn sometimes barged in when she was doing things, but he understood when it was best to just wait for her to be finish before trying to get her attention.
Especially if she was trying to meditate or work on her saber.
She gradually began to relax, leaning into Sif a little. Her eyes fluttering shut as she lowered her guard.]
Huh? I thought he was washing your hair? I wouldn't want to take him away from you. [Because Sif was doing really well, and the warm water felt utterly divine. They were three adults in a bath, it would be fine.] Well...Peter if your offer is good, is there something I can do for you?
[ He enjoyed both the look and the chuckle, always pleased to the core when he managed to make Sif laugh. The further mention of Thor had Peter scrunching up his nose, rather cutesy at that. ]
Yup, he is always impatient. I had to add new locks to my bathroom door because he kept breaking them while barging in. [ Peter still has to figure out if Thor just didn't notice they were there, or he broke them on purpose and then acted like nothing had happened just to rile him up. ]
But enough of Thor, why bother talking about him when I have two goddesses here with me? [ Yes, Rey was included in that category as well.
The guardian snickered at Sif's compliment, trying and failing to hide how pleased that made him, and keep focus sing on gently untangling her hair. He keeps checking on Rey now and then, glancing past Sif's shoulder to stare at the curve of the other woman's back, at the stiffness of her shoulders that slowly begins to fade away. ]
I'm sure Sif won't mind if I give you some attention for a little while. [ Peter's hand reaches around the Asgardian and caressed Rey's ear, wondering if that would make her jump or shudder. ] I like having my hair tugged too but that can wait. Should I move in front of you?
[ The voice is casual and Peter is trying to keep the flirty tone off his voice, but he doesn't quite manage it. ]
[ Sif found herself chuckling again as she was very certain that Thor was messing with Peter given the deal with the locks. However she was fine to let the subject drop as Thor wasn't there to interrupt them. So there was no need to speak of him. ]
And I am far more patient than Thor, I might add.
[ She smirked, glancing back at Peter again. Flatterer. Though she continued moving her fingers through Rey's hair working the shampoo through her loosen locks. She only paused to give Rey's shoulders a gentle squeeze. ]
Peter's right, I wouldn't mind. Besides we have time. My hair can wait a bit longer.
[ She was completely willing to let him take over finishing up washing Rey's hair even, if Rey were amicable to it of course. ]
[Rey didn't quite understand what Peter meant by having two goddesses with him. The compliment was more for Sif, sure, but for her? It made her a bit wary, if only because she wondered if he was trying to butter her up for something. Compliments on her looks were still foreign to her, so surely there had to be some hidden motive there?
Rey was brought out of her thoughts by someone--Peter? touching her ear. It made her shudder and slink down into the water a little more. As though by hiding in the water it would keep Sif and Peter from seeing her reaction. ]
Peter can take over... if he doesn't mind moving over here. [And it kind of dawns on her that two people will be working on her.
[ When wasn't Thor messing with Peter? It seemed to be one of his favorite activities and one he had no doubt picked up from Rocket. And Peter, being Peter, tried to annoy them right because they were all big babies. ]
You're much more attractive too. [ Peter leaned in to nuzzle Sif behind the ear after meeting her eyes, to speak softly. ] Smell better as well.
[ Ey, can't blame a guy for getting a little touchy-feely with his lover when they were naked into a warm bath. Peter was doing a shit job at actually cleaning Sif's hair because he got constantly distracted but at least there were no tangles anymore in her hair. Sif said that she didn't mind him helping Rey and Peter trusted that she would tell him if it truly bothered her. It didn't seem like jealousy was an issue now, and he was glad for it. More often than not Peter was the one at fault for that particular sin, anyway.
He didn't have any ulterior motives to flatter Rey, she was a gorgeous and strong woman and Peter liked to point it out. He knew that she always had trouble accepting compliments, if the odd looks they got him in return were any indication, but that had never deterred the guardian. Rey had to know how awesome she was, and he would tell her repeatedly until the idea sunk in. After a very soft and amused huff at Rey's jumpy reaction, Peter waded around them and moved in front of the Jedi, giving her a smile. ]
Hello, beautiful. [ Reaching up, he placed his hands on the curve of Rey's shoulders, not doing much more than that for the moment, and squeezed lightly. ]
[ Instinctively Sif leans into Peter's tough, while an amused smile tugged at the corner of her lips. She'd be the last person to complain over a lover getting touchy feely, especially when they are in the bath as they are now. ] I can agree with that on both accounts.
[ She replies with a playful wink. While Sif is capable of jealousy, it is only really in certain situations. And the current situation doesn't really count in her eyes. She quite likes Rey and only wishes to help her relax. Thus she continues to smooth her fingers through Rey's scalp as Peter maneuvers his way around them to position himself in front of the Jedi. ]
Your hair is longer than I expected.
[ Sif speaks softly as she scoops some water into one her hands to gently pour onto the back of Rey's hair. For a seasoned warrior, her touch can be quite soft, especially as she continues to rinse the shampoo out of Rey's hair.
She smiles at the compliments that Peter gives Rey, quite agreeing with his sentiments. Rey is a powerful and beautiful warrior that deserves all the praise. ]
[Rey wondered if it was a common occurrence for Thor to mess with people. Thus far, he hadn't done anything to her....yet. It was only a matter of time then. Perhaps he was waiting until she didn't have her lightsaber on her for him to examine it--and promptly hurt himself. If he ignited it, it would be very easy for him to harm himself--and the God was very childlike at times...
But, he was a King? Or, still was? She wasn't sure anymore. Her mind didn't linger on the subject too long as Peter was now in front of her, giving her a full view of his strong chest and handsome face.
And of course, give her a taste of his charm. Something sweet enough to entice any woman. A faint blush came over her cheeks, but that could easily be explained away by the warm waters of the bath.]
H-hey. [Or, not. So more for trying to play it cool. Sif's expert fingers help to ease the younger woman back into a better state of relaxation.]
Ahh, if it's too long I can wash your hair instead, Sif. [Was it really that long? It had been sometime since Rey had gotten it cut.
In her pondering, her grip on her towel loosened, causing it to slip down the hills of her breasts, giving Peter an unobstructed view of her chest.]
[ He likes seeing that encouraging reaction from Sif, it makes him feel at ease and it reminds Peter that they share a strong connection, an understanding. It's nice after everything all of them went through.
His attention goes to Rey after that, his hands moving to massage the tense muscles at the back of her neck when Rey doesn't complain. She should be more worried about Rocket than Thor when it comes to her lightsaber. It's the little furry dude who was obsessed with cool weapons rather than the God.
Rey attempts at small conversation are very endearing, Peter finds himself smiling even though she only greeted him. It's the blush that does it, it's too cute. He's about to say something else about how tense she seems to be, when the towel that is there one moment it's not in its place a second later. Well then. Peter's eyebrows shot up and big green widens, appreciating the lovely view for a few seconds before Peter's brain catches up with his cock. He looks up to the ceiling and squeezes her shoulders again. ]
Rey, you might want to...not like you're not gorgeous to look at, mind you!...but...you might be getting cold in the chest area.
[ Sif lightly laughed at Rey's response to her observation. She hadn't meant to make the other woman self conscious or anything like that. Gently she gave Rey's shoulders a reassuring squeeze before she returned to rinsing the shampoo from the Jedi's hair once more. ]
No, it isn't too long. I was merely offering an observation. You wear your hair up so often that I hadn't noticed that it is a good length.
[ She explained, though the moment she glanced up, she noted the way Peter's eyes widened with a bit of wonder in them. Instinctively she followed his gaze and saw that Rey was giving Peter a full view of her chest without realizing it. She tried to suppress the urge to laugh as Peter's quickly looked up and began telling Rey what she was unwittingly doing.
Though she failed in her effort as she ducked her head to the side and chuckled. ]
It seems your towel has slipped.
[ Sif said more frankly, dipping her hands down to grab Rey's towel and help her pull it back up as she had a feeling that Rey might get embarrassed. And she sought to help spare her friend the awkwardness of the moment. ]
[Rey would've made a comment about her hair needing to be up all the time, but between Sif washing her hair and Peter massaging her, it was too much to keep track of. The young woman wasn't used to being pampered and it felt so nice. No wondered people liked it!
However, her nice time was....interrupted because she let go of her towel. Her cheeks burned a deep red. Thank the Stars for Sif, grabbing her towel and slipping it into her hand for Rey to hold onto tightly.]
T-thank you.
[Embarrassed? Yes. Better than being mortified.]
Sorry about...um...that. [And if she could find a hole to crawl into, that would be nice. She kept her head down, trying to hide how her cheeks were.]
[ Peter himself took a deep breath, trying to will his stirring cock into calming down because this isn't the moment, not when there's two gorgeous, naked women within reach. Well, actually, being around gorgeous naked women was the perfect and logical place to get interested. But one of them was his very shy friend who probably didn't appreciate being ogled at, no matter how pretty Rey was. He couldn't help but wonder, however, about what she might like in bed and what sounds Rey could make, and if Sif would also like to know that.
Alas, a sure way to offend both women at once, or to get smacked in the face, was to ask straight away. Peter's hands on Rey's shoulders had stilled, and he almost missed her interaction with Sif, lost in his own thoughts about possibilities. Sexy possibilities. Maybe he needs a cold shower instead. But ah, right, Rey was apologizing, and he really didn't have to. ]
There's no need to feel sorry. [ Peter started finally making eye contact with Rey. Or trying too, it was tricky since she was avoiding looking at him in the face. He looked past Rey to exchange a glance with Sif, make sure she wasn't mad, and then tilt his head in a way that either said Should we do something? or Help here, please. Silent conversations weren't new between them, not now that they spend enough time together to be able to read each other. ]
[ Sif noted the way Rey ducked her head down and gave her fellow warrior a gentle squeeze to both her upper arms, trying to reassuring that all was fine. A little nudity never hurt anyone and they were all friends and comrades here. If they could trust each other in battle, then they could trust that no one would do anything without actual consent. ]
It's okay, Rey. No one is offended. So no apologies are needed.
[ She whispered softly, before glancing up at Peter with a soften expression. Lightly she brushed her hand against Rey's shoulder blade as she gave Peter a 'it'll be alright' type of nod. Rey was shy right now, but Sif still firmly believed that she just needed to a chance to come out of her shell.
Gently she began brushing her fingers through Rey's hair again, returning to finishing up with rinsing the shampoo from her hair. While occasionally rubbing at the base of the Jedi's skull to help alleviate some of the built up tension.]
Threesome is go!
Certainly nothing a good bath couldn't handle and well Sif had taken note that the planet they were visiting offered several different styles of bathhouses. There was even one that was reminiscent of the ones that were on Asgard back in the day.
Thus the trio now found themselves in a fairly large sized room in the bathhouse, the steam and fresh floral notes filling the air as they undressed themselves.]
This place certainly has everything.
[ She noted as she pulled her tunic over her head, tossing it on top of her discarded armor. While glancing over to the various soaps and scented oils that were placed there for their enjoyment. ]
no subject
Now her clothes were bloody, cut up, and her body was sore from blocking blows. There were a few superficial cuts, but at least there were no broken bones or blaster burns. Really, they were walking away practically unscathed.
Sif had something about finding a place to clean up, and Rey was in agreement with the woman and fell warrior. They took off for the planet. Soon enough they were in a bath house that had many scents than Rey could've imagined. ]
It certainly does...This for all of us to share--!!
[Rey asked, looking around only to turn to see Sif already stripping and forced herself to turn and look away to give the other warrior some privacy.
Okay? So...maybe they were sharing the bath together? Well, the area was pretty big and there was plenty of steam to...hide them?
It wasn't that Rey was ashamed of her body, but she was used to doing things on her own and not having company around her. But...she was tired, and maybe, it wouldn't be bad? Sif could have one area, she could have another..
And Peter could be in a corner somewhere, not looking at them.]
Should I get towels or...are those provided for us? [Stars, help her.]
no subject
Now Peter is taking in the views, getting rid of his jacket and boots, then his blood-stained shirt when he looks back at Sif and starts to really take in the lovely views. ]
It really is something else, I'm on no rush to leave.
[ Unfortunately for Rey, when she turns away from staring at Sif she probably comes to face Peter kicking off the rest of his clothes and standing there only in his navy underwear, strong thighs on display. His hair is a mess and there are a few new bruises adorning his right shoulder and the left side of his body. He doesn't seem to mind, having had much worse in the past.
So much for him being in a corner somewhere, not looking at them, uh? Sorry Rey! ]
Nah, I think the staff left some around...oh yeah, right there. [ Peter waves a hand towards a lovely wood-carved bench on one side of the pool, with towels of different sizes on it. Noticing Rey acting weird, Peter gets closer and raises a hand to cup her cheek. ] Rey, are you hurt? Your face is looking a little too red.
no subject
Given the sheer amount of soaps and oils, I'm certain we are meant to share them.
[ Sif replied as she sat down to remove her boots before standing back up to shimmy out of her pants. Asgardians didn't really bother with undergarments, so her nudity was complete the moment the pants were gone. Obviously she didn't mind being seen by Rey or Peter at this point.]
There's more towels over here.
[ She stated, picking up a large white towel on the bench nearest to her and wrapping it around her body with no real fanfare. It was only when Peter asked Rey if she were hurt that she glanced back over to the pair. ]
Ah, she'll feel better once she hits the water. Would you like me to wash your hair, Rey?
[ Sif offered as she picked up one of the beautiful smelling soaps in ornate looking bottle that she recognized to be a sort of shampoo. Once more she glanced over to Rey and Peter with a smile, letting her eyes roam over them. Though she noted that Rey seemed to be the most dressed of them.]

Great.
Poe would probably be fine in a setting like this, and Finn would be just as...nervous? Worried? Uncomfortable? About this situation as Rey. But, she was tired, and done with the day. It would only be for a few hours, and she could handle that. Right?
Until Peter decided to check up on in her--in his briefs--and her cheeks felt warm.]
No, I'm fine. Just tired--I'll be better once I'm in the water as Sif said. [She told him, grateful that Sif was helping but--was she looking at her--trying to remain calm. Rey quickly turned away from Peter, moving to grab a towel before finding her own little area to start undoing her hair from its three bun style. From there she quickly slipped off her boots and stripped out of her clothes. In an instant she had the towel wrapped around her body, covering up the few scars she had on her back from years of living on Jakku and the bruise on her side from a well placed kick.]
Uh...sure, Sif, I wouldn't mind. [Might as well give that a shot. Nothing wrong there.]
I'm going to test the waters, see if it's too hot? [That's what one does in a bath house, wasn't it? Various tubs with water and you pick which one to go to and enjoy it?
Before Sif or Peter could stop Rey, she found her way to a tub and all but jumped in.]
no subject
We did have a rather eventful day. [ His voice was kind and his eyes soft when he looked at Rey. She got pretty bruised and all he wanted is to make sure both of his friends were really okay. Sif, being an Asgardian, probably wasn't even disheveled, though.
Sure enough, when Peter throws a glance at Sif's direction he finds himself giving the brunette an appreciative look when she just stood there naked after getting rid of her pants. He was also immediately disappointed when that gorgeous, muscular body got covered by a towel. Oh well. ]
I could give you a massage, Rey. These hands can do wonders. Right, Sif? [ Once Sif approached them, Peter winked at the woman, and then his attention turned back to their friend who was now moving away from him to work on her hair and clothes. He chuckled when Rey just straight out jumped into one of the pools as if to escape them. Sharing an amused look with Sif, Peter shrugged. ]
I guess that's a no on the massage. I can do your hair while you do Rey's, if you want. [ He leaned in to brush a lock of hair away from Sif's face, cupping it behind her ear. ] I better go get rid of my clothes too.
[ Moving towards the bench, his back to both women, Peter finishes undressing, even folding his underwear before he bothers putting on a towel around his hips. Enjoy the view. ]
no subject
However she couldn't hide her amusement when Rey retreated to the bath almost immediately after getting disrobed, not even looking to her and Peter. Sif whispered so that only Peter would hear her.] I think someone just needs a moment to acclimate and relax.
[ Quickly she cleared her throat and spoke up louder to Peter's query over washing her hair as she picked up the shampoo bottle again. While he finished disrobing himself, Sif gave him another appreciative glance.] Yes, that would be splendid, Peter. Especially considering your talented fingers.
[ She added with a playful wink, before walking over to the tub that Rey had flung herself into towel and all. For Rey's sake, Sif kept her towel on as she climbed into the tub as well and gestured for Rey to come closer. Though she made certain to leave room for Peter, when he came to join them. ] Come, it'll be easier to wash your hair if you sit beside me.
no subject
Rey kept the towel to her body, making sure to keep one hand clutched to it at all times. Her free hand came up to wipe her face, removing any water drops from clinging to her eye lashes. Sif was in the tub with her towel on, so clearly, this was how it was done...right?
Never mind the fact that there was still room for Peter to join directly behind them. She thought he would find another area? She didn't know, but at her friend's request she moved closer to her. ]
Coming. [scooting, moving closer until she was sitting next to Sif, drawing one knee to her chest. Rey's hair reached her shoulders and lazily floated on the water's surface.]
Do you need me to move closer? [She asked, making sure to keep her eyes on the water and no where else.
With her back to Sif, the older woman would be able to see the faint scars along her shoulder blades and back. Years of working as a scavenger had taken their toll on her body.]
no subject
Peter finds the shyness to be charming on its own, even if he would like it for Rey to be more comfortable around them. They won't bite
Unless she asks. The Guardian nods in agreement at Sif's words, understanding that not everyone is as carefree when it comes to nudity, or comfortable around others that way. For the moment, Peter will give Rey space and try not to embarrass her (much), figuring that she might be more comfortable around another woman.That wink from Sif gets her a pleased smile in return, though. It's easy to feel carefree around her. He keeps the towel around his hips when he slides into the hot water, a pleased sigh escaping him with his sore muscles immediately start to feel better. If they all didn't have better plans in mind, Peter might have ended dozing off in the pool, happy as a clam. But no time to sleep when he has such a good company.
Peter watches them for a little while, mentally thinking Oh yes, move closer, at Rey's words. Ey, enjoying the eye candy is free, and he's only human. It doesn't take him long to swim closer to Sif, brushing his arm on the way to move behind her. He wets his hands and runs his fingers through her hair, looking over Sif shoulder at Rey. ]
How are you doing there? First time in a bathhouse, I take it?
no subject
Sif herself also moved a little closer as Rey settled beside her, pointedly looking away. ]
You're fine. I can reach you.
[ She answered after a beat, gently raking her fingers through Rey's already wet hair to loosen the strands before putting the shampoo on. Instinctively she glances over her shoulder as Peter moves over behind her and gives him a knowing smile. She momentarily leaned her own head back as her hair was certainly longer than Rey's, which was certainly a reason she kept it tied back in battle.
Lightly Sif brushed her fingers over the faint scars on Rey's shoulders, before giving her shoulders a gentle squeezed. Despite the callouses on Sif's fingers from years of being a warrior, she still could have a soft touch at times. As demonstrated by the way she brushed her fingers through Rey's dark locks. ]
I some times forget that not all of my comrades have enjoyed communal baths. It was a sort of tradition on Asgard. It was a good way to bond after a hard fought battle.
[ She explained, as she poured some of the shampoo into her hand, before handing it over for Peter to use on her as well. She hoped a brief explanation would help Rey relax a bit more. Slowly she began rubbing the beautifully scented soap into Rey's hair. Her fingers making massaging movements over the other woman's scalp to aid in the effort of loosening Rey up. ]
no subject
At his question, she nodded her head a little, mindful of what Sif was trying to do.]
Doing fine...and yes. It's...different than what I thought it would be. [They're in a bath, a big one. Not an individual one...but semantics.] Places like these were a luxury we couldn't afford to take...and even now it's...[What would be the word for it?] I don't have anything to compare it to.
[Yes, that was it. Nothing else to compare it to...although Sif's hands were doing wonders on Rey's scalp. Just enough pressure to make her relax a little more, and the scent of the shampoo was really nice.]
Ahh...Sif, could you move your hand down a little more? Please? [She asked, gesturing for Sif's hand to move from the base of her skull down her neck.]
no subject
[ Nothing had to happen if Rey didn't want it. For now, they were relaxing and washing each other hair. Or Rather, Sif and Peter were relaxing and poor Rey had to handle naked people very close to her. It was good to know that the jedi might be interested in them or at least curious.
Gently grabbing the long hair, Peter moves it aside to place a kiss on the curve of Sif's shoulder after they looked eyes. When he spoke up, his voice was a mix of amused and mortified. ]
I can testify that it is. Thor once walked on me in the shower just to talk to me, because he couldn't wait to tell me that he beat Rocket at cards. Rocket always cheats, so that was quite the feat, but still...
[ Peter grabbed the shampoo but didn't immediately pour it on Sifs hair, instead he started with wetting it some more and then running his fingers through it, nails scratching the scalp. Then he added, teasing. ]
Ey, Rey, if you need an extra hand...
no subject
Yes, when Thor has a story to share, he certainly won't wait for something like a bath to be finished.
[ She giggled as she moved her fingers down to the base of Rey's skull as asked. She made the effort to massage the area as she noted the tension there. Before running her fingers through Rey's strands of hair again, allowing the suds to bubble up and spread around more. ]
If you are in need of a good neck and shoulder massage, I can attest to the fact that Peter is quite talented at giving massages. Even better than myself.
[ Though her tone was amused, she obviously meant the compliment and she wasn't ashamed to admit that his skill at it was greater than hers. ]
no subject
Is he always impatient? He manages to barge in regardless of what others are doing. [Not as a dig or anything mean, but truly a wonder. It seemed very...childlike? Was that the right phrase? Perhaps not, Finn sometimes barged in when she was doing things, but he understood when it was best to just wait for her to be finish before trying to get her attention.
Especially if she was trying to meditate or work on her saber.
She gradually began to relax, leaning into Sif a little. Her eyes fluttering shut as she lowered her guard.]
Huh? I thought he was washing your hair? I wouldn't want to take him away from you. [Because Sif was doing really well, and the warm water felt utterly divine. They were three adults in a bath, it would be fine.] Well...Peter if your offer is good, is there something I can do for you?
[Pass him shampoo? Wash his hair?
Uhhh....pass the soap?]
no subject
Yup, he is always impatient. I had to add new locks to my bathroom door because he kept breaking them while barging in. [ Peter still has to figure out if Thor just didn't notice they were there, or he broke them on purpose and then acted like nothing had happened just to rile him up. ]
But enough of Thor, why bother talking about him when I have two goddesses here with me? [ Yes, Rey was included in that category as well.
The guardian snickered at Sif's compliment, trying and failing to hide how pleased that made him, and keep focus sing on gently untangling her hair. He keeps checking on Rey now and then, glancing past Sif's shoulder to stare at the curve of the other woman's back, at the stiffness of her shoulders that slowly begins to fade away. ]
I'm sure Sif won't mind if I give you some attention for a little while. [ Peter's hand reaches around the Asgardian and caressed Rey's ear, wondering if that would make her jump or shudder. ] I like having my hair tugged too but that can wait. Should I move in front of you?
[ The voice is casual and Peter is trying to keep the flirty tone off his voice, but he doesn't quite manage it. ]
no subject
And I am far more patient than Thor, I might add.
[ She smirked, glancing back at Peter again. Flatterer. Though she continued moving her fingers through Rey's hair working the shampoo through her loosen locks. She only paused to give Rey's shoulders a gentle squeeze. ]
Peter's right, I wouldn't mind. Besides we have time. My hair can wait a bit longer.
[ She was completely willing to let him take over finishing up washing Rey's hair even, if Rey were amicable to it of course. ]
Would you like Peter to take over, Rey?
no subject
Rey was brought out of her thoughts by someone--Peter? touching her ear. It made her shudder and slink down into the water a little more. As though by hiding in the water it would keep Sif and Peter from seeing her reaction. ]
Peter can take over... if he doesn't mind moving over here. [And it kind of dawns on her that two people will be working on her.
Two people, pampering her.
How did she get herself into this?!]
no subject
You're much more attractive too. [ Peter leaned in to nuzzle Sif behind the ear after meeting her eyes, to speak softly. ] Smell better as well.
[ Ey, can't blame a guy for getting a little touchy-feely with his lover when they were naked into a warm bath. Peter was doing a shit job at actually cleaning Sif's hair because he got constantly distracted but at least there were no tangles anymore in her hair. Sif said that she didn't mind him helping Rey and Peter trusted that she would tell him if it truly bothered her. It didn't seem like jealousy was an issue now, and he was glad for it. More often than not Peter was the one at fault for that particular sin, anyway.
He didn't have any ulterior motives to flatter Rey, she was a gorgeous and strong woman and Peter liked to point it out. He knew that she always had trouble accepting compliments, if the odd looks they got him in return were any indication, but that had never deterred the guardian. Rey had to know how awesome she was, and he would tell her repeatedly until the idea sunk in. After a very soft and amused huff at Rey's jumpy reaction, Peter waded around them and moved in front of the Jedi, giving her a smile. ]
Hello, beautiful. [ Reaching up, he placed his hands on the curve of Rey's shoulders, not doing much more than that for the moment, and squeezed lightly. ]
no subject
[ She replies with a playful wink. While Sif is capable of jealousy, it is only really in certain situations. And the current situation doesn't really count in her eyes. She quite likes Rey and only wishes to help her relax. Thus she continues to smooth her fingers through Rey's scalp as Peter maneuvers his way around them to position himself in front of the Jedi. ]
Your hair is longer than I expected.
[ Sif speaks softly as she scoops some water into one her hands to gently pour onto the back of Rey's hair. For a seasoned warrior, her touch can be quite soft, especially as she continues to rinse the shampoo out of Rey's hair.
She smiles at the compliments that Peter gives Rey, quite agreeing with his sentiments. Rey is a powerful and beautiful warrior that deserves all the praise. ]
no subject
But, he was a King? Or, still was? She wasn't sure anymore. Her mind didn't linger on the subject too long as Peter was now in front of her, giving her a full view of his strong chest and handsome face.
And of course, give her a taste of his charm. Something sweet enough to entice any woman. A faint blush came over her cheeks, but that could easily be explained away by the warm waters of the bath.]
H-hey. [Or, not. So more for trying to play it cool. Sif's expert fingers help to ease the younger woman back into a better state of relaxation.]
Ahh, if it's too long I can wash your hair instead, Sif. [Was it really that long? It had been sometime since Rey had gotten it cut.
In her pondering, her grip on her towel loosened, causing it to slip down the hills of her breasts, giving Peter an unobstructed view of her chest.]
no subject
His attention goes to Rey after that, his hands moving to massage the tense muscles at the back of her neck when Rey doesn't complain. She should be more worried about Rocket than Thor when it comes to her lightsaber. It's the little furry dude who was obsessed with cool weapons rather than the God.
Rey attempts at small conversation are very endearing, Peter finds himself smiling even though she only greeted him. It's the blush that does it, it's too cute. He's about to say something else about how tense she seems to be, when the towel that is there one moment it's not in its place a second later. Well then. Peter's eyebrows shot up and big green widens, appreciating the lovely view for a few seconds before Peter's brain catches up with his cock. He looks up to the ceiling and squeezes her shoulders again. ]
Rey, you might want to...not like you're not gorgeous to look at, mind you!...but...you might be getting cold in the chest area.
no subject
No, it isn't too long. I was merely offering an observation. You wear your hair up so often that I hadn't noticed that it is a good length.
[ She explained, though the moment she glanced up, she noted the way Peter's eyes widened with a bit of wonder in them. Instinctively she followed his gaze and saw that Rey was giving Peter a full view of her chest without realizing it. She tried to suppress the urge to laugh as Peter's quickly looked up and began telling Rey what she was unwittingly doing.
Though she failed in her effort as she ducked her head to the side and chuckled. ]
It seems your towel has slipped.
[ Sif said more frankly, dipping her hands down to grab Rey's towel and help her pull it back up as she had a feeling that Rey might get embarrassed. And she sought to help spare her friend the awkwardness of the moment. ]
no subject
However, her nice time was....interrupted because she let go of her towel. Her cheeks burned a deep red. Thank the Stars for Sif, grabbing her towel and slipping it into her hand for Rey to hold onto tightly.]
T-thank you.
[Embarrassed? Yes. Better than being mortified.]
Sorry about...um...that. [And if she could find a hole to crawl into, that would be nice. She kept her head down, trying to hide how her cheeks were.]
no subject
Alas, a sure way to offend both women at once, or to get smacked in the face, was to ask straight away. Peter's hands on Rey's shoulders had stilled, and he almost missed her interaction with Sif, lost in his own thoughts about possibilities. Sexy possibilities. Maybe he needs a cold shower instead. But ah, right, Rey was apologizing, and he really didn't have to. ]
There's no need to feel sorry. [ Peter started finally making eye contact with Rey. Or trying too, it was tricky since she was avoiding looking at him in the face. He looked past Rey to exchange a glance with Sif, make sure she wasn't mad, and then tilt his head in a way that either said Should we do something? or Help here, please. Silent conversations weren't new between them, not now that they spend enough time together to be able to read each other. ]
no subject
It's okay, Rey. No one is offended. So no apologies are needed.
[ She whispered softly, before glancing up at Peter with a soften expression. Lightly she brushed her hand against Rey's shoulder blade as she gave Peter a 'it'll be alright' type of nod. Rey was shy right now, but Sif still firmly believed that she just needed to a chance to come out of her shell.
Gently she began brushing her fingers through Rey's hair again, returning to finishing up with rinsing the shampoo from her hair. While occasionally rubbing at the base of the Jedi's skull to help alleviate some of the built up tension.]
