[It's difficult to miss the ruined mirror in his bathroom. Her many shattered reflections frown back at her and like before she doesn't debate long what caused it. It served as a reminder how she even got here, stripping her clothes and taking advantage of his shower. This evening had been something of a mood roller coaster (not necessarily a bad one) with the most recent moments of it questioning the current nature of her relationship to Adam.
Samus had to question it because she couldn't easily figure it out, especially with both of them being so deadpan about it. Uncertainty and lack of clarity with all those implications and innuendo ironically only made her want to pry further.
She could at least assess that she enjoyed his company, had things in common, was concerned for his well-being and she felt comfortable around him enough to ease physical barriers, not that Samus was very ashamed of her body to begin with. Not arrogant or vain, but confident with who she was (and obviously to parade around in a skin-tight blue bodysuit without giving any damn). That didn't mean that Adam had earned a free pass with her, but subtly was probably an effective way to worm under the proverbial armor she wore. Tonight had demonstrated quite a bit of that, whether either of them was completely aware of it or not.
She's deep in thought, shifting weight from one leg to the other as the beads of water roll off her skin and as the steam builds around her in thick billows--not unusual for Samus.]
