Peorray opened her eyes as she felt the water around her move, more in automatic reaction to the disturbance than in awareness that she had company. She figured out the latter fact soon enough, however, when it spoke to her and her eyes found the man who'd apparently decided to share her bath when she wasn't looking.
A different lady might have finessed the situation to act entirely unruffled, or screamed the house down at the presence of a male in her bath. Peorray, however...
"Disturbed. On several fronts." She blurted honestly. The woman watched (only the face, of course) her intruder with a wary but unalarmed air. She wasn't used to bathing in mixed company with a non-related male, but she had been married and was mother to an unclaimed son.
Besides, this didn't seem to be an overly large or aggressive man. She could probably take him if he tried anything, at least long enough to get away. And R'nya could take care of him after that.
"Hello to you too, though. I'm sorry, but I thought I locked the door." She explained, a bit sheepishly. "Still brooding a bit over yesterday, didn't think I'd make very good company for anybody."
