Raze's mind went blank for a heartbeat as he processed the princess standing in his doorway while he sat naked in a bath. Heat flooded his face as the awkwardness of the situation crashed through his awareness.
"I'm in the toilet!" he called out, the words tumbling from his mouth before he could think of something more dignified. "Please, give me a moment!"
There was a pause from the doorway, Fedora's voice carrying slight tension when she responded. "Of course, I apologize for the poor timing."
But she didn't leave.
"I'll wait," she said, her tone suggesting she'd resolved herself to endure the awkwardness. "What I need to discuss is important enough to warrant patience."
Raze heard her footsteps moving away from the bathroom entrance, presumably to give him privacy while remaining in the suite. He climbed out of the bath quickly, water sluicing off his body as he grabbed a towel and dried himself with hurried efficiency.
