As soon as the warm water engulfed their bodies, Erik and Elora breathed a deep sigh. "That's quite nice…" Erik muttered with a lazy smile.
"It is," Elora agreed with another sigh. She slipped out of his arms and settled herself down between his legs. Erik pulled his legs up, allowing Elora to rest her arms on them, before leaning back against his chest, almost using him like a comfortable chair.
Erik didn't mind, of course, and used his now-free arms to spread himself wide as he released a deep, contented breath. He rested his head on the soft bath's edge, allowing any remaining tension to quickly flow out of his body.
They both closed their eyes, released a third sigh, and molded into their respective seats with gentle smiles. They stayed quiet for a while. The environment allowed them to experience something they hadn't in a while: true calm, and they intended to enjoy it to the fullest.
