"No." Piper protested quietly, her hands moved onto her stomach to de-gunk any dirt that may have been plastered there. The pace was slow, careful, like she didn't know when this opportunity would happen again. After all, it had been some time since her last bath, and that had been nothing more than a hasty dunk in a pool. Memories were strange things, always abstract from the last time you focused on them, and while it may have been easy to see the eyes of those who kidnapped her, their actions were a cyclone with a funneled bottom. Perhaps today was the finish, widened and open for memorization. Perhaps what Connor said was worth paying heed to.
"I just don't want to talk about it." Not that Piper had much to add towards any fantasized horrors her companion could conceive just staring at the damages. She wore them defiantly, unashamed to be on display. There was no running from her own skin, and Piper didn't bother trying.
In the back of her mind, she was doing her best to keep tabs on what he said. The numbers, the extent of staff and security he housed. It wasn't anything she could relate to, having come from less than the average, with only family as a steady backbone to the inner workings of her household. In comparison, it was nothing more than a hovel in the fields, though she didn't really want to say that out loud. There were a great many things to be intimidated about in this moment, but the size of this stranger's home seemed the least important.
The stranger's name was Connor. That part she would not forget.
"Piper." Voice like a chime, she was barely louder than the water filling the tub for the second time. Initially, she had wanted to give her full name, as though he could sort out her affairs and ensure she returned safe. The only problem with this plan of hers was whether or not it could drag her family into these sordid, ugly affairs. Piper had never been much of a gambler, and what little time she had spent doling out cards and trying to keep a straight face hadn't ended favorably for her. That hadn't mattered at the time, but now it seemed to strike a cord, which stuck a frown on now clean features.
With her hair washed and rinsed, it looked less like a dead cat; though it needed brushing. Taming, if one were to get technical. The curls had begun to twist and form around her ears, fiery half ringlets to frame a milk white portrait where emerald hues stared openly at their surroundings. Not once since they two had began speaking did Piper stop looking around, and though still slightly less aware than she could be, the woman felt she was making strides in terms of memory. The catacombs were swept and dusted, sorted as Connor wrapped her in a towel to remove her from the water. The action came so naturally in this place, she didn't even flinch at the brief pangs of pain being lifted caused.
"I could eat." Offhandedly, Piper threw out the option so there was no question concerning whether or not he should feed her. After all, her body was sure enough sign she had missed plenty of meals, and though she was doing her best to be pseudo-difficult to be around, she wasn't going to punish herself by denying the need for nourishment. Beaming bright greens at Connor's face, they waited to see how he would respond. Did he just summon food from that woman Lilly? Was there a private capsule passage they shot it up through, or did he keep his upper levels just as stocked as the lower ones? Piper had a sick fascination with their location because she had never been anywhere so decadent.
Certainly not a residence of this size - that much she could guarantee.
"But I would like clothing." Another small fact they had glossed over in context. "Or a robe. Just something so cover up with..."
