Laundry room- Wednesday evening

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had more clothes here than she did back home, but not enough that she felt she could afford clothes covered in dye. So after the obstacle course, and a hot shower to get herself clean, it was down to the laundry room to do the same for her clothes.

Currently she was sitting atop the unused dryer, looking perfectly fine waiting. At least until she went to toe her wet hair up, and cane away with dye on her hand again from somewhere. "Oh, come on!"


[I had to check that there was a laundry room! Open!]

"I'm sure we'll find dye in odd places for days," Breq said, entering the room. She remembered to smile at Rey.

She began filling one of the machines with her own brightly coloured clothes. Just like Rey, she didn't have enough to leave them unwashed.

"Just when I thought I had nowhere left to scrub," Rey sighed, frowning at her hand. "I didn't even finish the course."

[justice_undone]

"No? Did you get fed up with the dye or didn't you want to risk winning that fish?"

Breq wouldn't judge either way.

"Once there was ice water, I was done," she admitted. "I'm not doing that and chancing coming out third. Did you finish?"

[justice_undone]

"I did," Breq said. "I made sure I wasn't third."

"He's making it harder to lose the fish. I don't appreciate that."

Also first he yelled at her all over China, then there was ice water...

"He enjoys it," Breq said. She closed the machine. "Does it bother you for any particular reason?"

"It was creepy to begin with and now it's survived fire," Rey said, shaking her head. "I don't trust it."

There wasn't really a deeper meaning here.

"It's creepy," Breq agreed. "And disgusting. I've just come to expect creepy things here. Good things too, though."

She watched water fill up inside the machine.

"Are you thinking of anything in particular?" Rey wondered.

[justice_undone]

"The good things? I've met good people here, listened to good music."

She looked at her clothes spinning in the washing machine, face expressionless.

"How long have you been here?" she asked. Not that Rey could judge that answer, since she barely knew people.

[justice_undone]

"About a year," Breq said. "Why?"
