Water ran in the other room and she listened with a greater intensity than she had to the phone conversation. How long had it been since she had taken a bath? Piper didn't want to think about it, and certainly didn't want to bring attention to this being a miserable state to be seen in. No one looked forward to being the victim in the story, and as far as her tale was told, she was a damsel is great distress. Absently, the balled figure curled further inward, hands placed on her knees so the palms could make blind assessments of how much weight had been lost. Again, more than she cared to admit - but at least she wasn't dying. It hadn't been that more than a day or so since her last meal; they had to have fed her. The effort came as brushing away mental cobwebs to map out her captivity, dissecting clips and scenes more carefully while left to her own devices. Had they been slipping her drugs? The more time Piper spent lingering on the memories, the less she wanted to.
When he returned, he earned a half grunt to imply she heard him. The blankets on the bed dragged in his grasp, sliding her slender person around the mattress, but it was forgotten in her complacency. She took no slight, accepted this fate, and seemed only to respond in the barest fashion. Even when gathered in able arms with the blanket swaddled about her shoulders, she didn't seem phased. Only Piper's brow knit, becoming a clustered ledge over hunter green hues to acknowledge the pain. There had been worse things to fear throughout her stay in that place, worse people to shy away from... They moved in tandem without anecdotes from the woman, just forest orbs taking in another room she had never explored.
His home was admittedly more inviting, clean and smelling of pleasantries she couldn't make out. Her nose still had dried blood clogging the nostrils, dried in unfortunate disregard, but it had been a godsend in her last location. Scanning the pseudo-filled tub as motions lowered her, the blanket was thrown to the wayside for lack of a better term, though this did nothing to elevate any inherent distress. The stranger had already seen her nude, so another flash of a battered shell didn't seem incredibly important to hide. Her long legs uncurled with the barest stretch, immediately tinging the water with the filth of blood and grime after extended time barefoot and bleeding. Feather light, Piper eased her slender digits along the meat of her inner thighs, against bruises and stained porcelain skin to gingerly assess damage. The rust stains still marked her ankles and wrists, but it was washing away while she soaked.
He called this 'our home', but at this point, Piper didn't even remember whether he had introduced himself. The touch along her cheek was light, airy, barely more than a breath as he wiped muck she couldn't see for herself. It seemed the more he saw of the damages, the less articulate he became. The final question was meant to be rhetorical, forgotten in his sympathy, but Piper shrugged. What had they done? Or, what hadn't they done? "Does it matter?" One act defined didn't seem necessary in the wake of her appearance, and Piper felt a queasiness in her gut at the notion of having to detail her account of the time kept locked away. No - He would have to take it for what it was worth. Whatever her body told him in the form of patchwork abuse was enough.
"But-" She moved on so he would stop fixating on the abuse because all this concern made her worried for her own sake more than she had been previously. If he was close to losing his cool at the sight of her, how should she be reacting? Had something inside her ceased to function properly? "this is your home?" A bare nod was sent to direct attention back towards the bedroom. "It's very big. How many people live with you?" She would otherwise let him clean what he chose to clean, her own hands busying themselves between and around her thighs under a murky cloud of maroon water. None of it was very pretty, but Piper had no other options than to try and direct attention away from the grotesque spectacle of cleaning up.
"I've never stayed in a place this high off the ground.."
