[ That's... unexpected. ... Or on second thoughts, is it really? For all he complains and makes a show of treating her poorly, has the Mors King ever actually failed to accommodate her in all the time she's been here? Tormenting her would be as easy as keeping her half starved and denying her a place to sleep or bathe but he's done none of that. The worst he's done is assign her chores like the maidservant she'd offered to be and made a show of shallowly indulging in her body at night. Last night had been the only time he'd truly crossed the line in that regard... and it was only because she'd asked.
Something has changed. Something has shifted and Ai isn't quite sure what to make of it yet. Instead, she just dips her head with a murmur of thanks and slips out from under the covers, tattered shift and all. As expected, the cold air on her skin is unpleasant but not unbearable, especially when she knows she has a hot bath to look forward to. Quietly thanking whoever attached the bathing area to the Mors King's chambers, she hurries over into them, trying not to think too hard about how much of a disgrace she must look like this. ]
