Commander Celeste Yamaguchi was standing in the bathroom, as nude as the day she was born with nothing around her save a robe which she had left hanging on the door.

She looked down at herself in the mirror. "Ro'cholk. You vile bastard." she shivered despite it being quite warm as she regarded the closed door. "Brianna, he was using me ... as a way to get to you." Celeste said softly to herself. "I get to reap a bitter harvest."

She knew that Hobbs tended to be an early riser which in truth she didn't mind. There came a soft knock at the door as Celeste answered it, it was Hobbs. "Hey." Celeste greeted her as she moved out of the way so Hobbs could enter.

"How are you doing?" Hobbs asked.

"I think I'm gonna be okay." Celeste admitted. "I'm sorry for being so demanding..." she added before she looked down.

"Demanding?" Bri asked. "Honey, I can barely tell if your alive."

Celeste regarded Hobbs as she tried not to laugh or cry at the same time. Instead she said. "I need a shower...come on.. you can show me I'm still alive." before she turned and went over to the shower, she turned on the water so it was how Hobbs liked it, a little cool for her tastes but she would endure rather then the almost scalding hot the way she liked it. "I'm still alive... he's not going to win... I won't give that vile bastard the satisfaction." Celeste added, with much more emotion then one was used to, anger and rage darkening her tone of voice.

Bri stepped into the shower. "That's the Celeste I know. I like hearing more from her."

Celeste followed Brianna Hobbs into the shower. "That Celeste is still here.." she admitted. "He used me like a puppet... I was nothing but prey to him." she felt the warm water wash over her chest and hips. "Mmm... " she sighed softly. "Nothing like a hot shower to start the day." she said quietly, even though the water was colder then she preferred.

"Good." Brianna smiled at Celeste. "Celeste Yamaguchi is an intelligent and compassionate woman who has brought nothing but good into her world. She is not nor ever was prey. She is strong and loving. She adopted two orphan children. She is the woman I feel in love with."

Celeste closed her eyes as she let the lukewarm water gently caress her anger and fears away. "You are too kind Bri." she responded quietly before she gently kissed the other woman on the side of her neck. "Sometimes though... I have to wonder...". Celeste was still processing recent events. "I'm doing okay... really... I am... most of the time." she admitted at the end.

"Celeste dearest, you can tell me anything you want to." Bri replied. "No matter how wild or crazy. I am here to listen."

Celeste opened her eyes as she regarded the other woman next to her. "Well... I don't how to tell you this... but... you have your showers too cold." as she grinned at the other woman.

"Then turn the heat up." Brianna laughed. "No one is stopping you."

Celeste touched the temperature controls for the water, as a smile graced her lips before with a gentle touch, she began gently increasing the heat slowly before she turned her attention to Bri. "Too warm?" she inquired before she smiled.
