Zahra needed to get a lay of the land now that she had arrived and things seemed to have calmed down a little. She was sure leaving the room would worry Kash, but she had only ventured out a few times briefly and now it felt right. She had filled him in on everything that she knew happened back home, spent many days enjoying the marvel of hot baths on demand, and discovered what a 'TV' was and tried to get some idea of what this plane was like. Now it was time to experience it for herself.

Zahra did not hide what she was. The red-skinned Tiefling wore a grey dress with a hole cut and sewn to allow her tail freedom of movement behind her. She decided to leave her staff behind, but she had done so after a lot of thought. The humans here didn't need to see her walking around with a weapon, but she felt naked and vulnerable. Kash said they were safe and so she would lean on those words as she navigated the inn weaponless.

She found the pool, crouching down by the water and feeling the cool water against her fingers. She could smell something from the water that told her the water wasn't entirely pure. It took her some time to figure out it was a place to bathe or swim, like a lake in the middle of the forest. She did take note of the heated part of the pool.

Her next step was through the lobby to the bar. Taverns looked similar no matter what plane of existence you were on, it seemed. She felt her stomach growl and after a moment found her way to the restaurant. She ordered the chicken because it reminded her of Scanlan.

After her meal she found her way to the library. There were not as many books as there was in Whitestone or even the Slayer's Take, but there were many. She started to peruse.

Her last stop was to Vex's room. She knocked and waited patiently.

(ooc: Find her anywhere. She has white eyes with no pupil or iris and horns on her head.)

She pressed her forehead against his, her tail wrapping lightly around his calf. She spoke softly. "You were alone for almost a year. I do not blame you for seeking comfort in another." And she didn't, but she knew Kash wanted an answer, wanted some tangible.

"For me... All I ask is you continue to be the man that took my heart. And that you find self forgiveness." She knew the second part would be the hardest.

Kash stilled and held her against him, just listened to her heart and the gentle sounds of the tip of her tail caressing his leg. It took time, but his hand began to move against her back and through her hair.

Voice quiet and intimate, pitched to her in a way that spoke of long days alone in Whitestone and Vassalheim, the two of them being the people they were in the same space. Talking when there were things to say and breathing when there weren't, he finally asked, "Do you have any plans for the rest of the afternoon?"

Zahra smiled, enjoying the warmth that he provided for her. "Nothing in particular. I've done all that I've sought out to do. I am yours to do with as you please." Whatever she could do to help heal his wounds, she would do it.

"Tempting." He dropped a kiss to where her neck and shoulder joined, inhaled, and lost himself in the warmth of her skin. All he wanted was to be with her, until he didn't remember how it hurt to be without her. "But I think I'll do with you as you please. Maybe start with washing your hair, give you a long massage...what do you think?"

"That, darling, sounds like a wonderful offer." She kissed him on the temple before climbing off of Kash and reaching for his hand to lead him back to their room.
