Astrid moved towards the bath house, looking around herself as she stepped lightly across the pavers and up the steps. She paused in the lobby, looking around everywhere checking that no one was around to watch her. She had to do this, the blonde encouraged herself. She had been dared to use the boys baths by one of her friends who was a son of Mercury. She wouldn't be surprised to see him inside, the dirty bastard probably just wanted to see her naked, she thought to herself.
Still she had to do this, she steeled herself and walked through the doors to the boys baths. Without even looking around or thinking too much about it, Astrid stripped naked, throwing her clothes on the ground and jumping in. When she surfaced above the warm water, pushing her blonde hair back out of her face, that was when the daughter of Ceres realised she was not alone.

Matthias made sure he was the only one there in the baths, mostly because he was uncomfortable bathing with other people around. When he wa bathing, he wasn’t really there for the social aspect, it was usually to relax after a day of training or something that he needed time to seep in, keep his mind off things. He didn’t need to deal with anyone that thought he needed to be included in their testosterone seeped conversation. The fact that people would always look at him made him uncomfortable as well. Nudity was not something he was really okay with publically, even those in his cohort that would take their shirts off after training made him uncomfortable. It wasn’t like he had much to hide, he just didn’t want to be made eyecandy of the week. Frankly, the giggly younger female campers annoyed him, and those were the kind that would do something absurd like that.
Matthias was snapped out of his thoughts by someone jumping into the water. Who it was, Matthias couldn’t tell, he snapped to attention by the time they had already been submerged into the water. What he did see was a long wave of blonde hair swishing around the water, rather long than what was typical for most Legion males. Perhaps it was a retired Apollo kid? Some of them, who were closer to the hippie type, had grown their hair out after their service. Matthias had seem them out and around New Rome strumming on their guitars, not something that interested Matthias much, anyways. When the figure resurfaced, it was made imminent to Matthias that that person was certainly not a man… No, what he was staring at intently was the face of a woman. Matthias didn’t mean to stare f course, but he had lost track of what he was actually doing, and how it looked to other people, just trying to figure out the identity of this person… Chances that they knew each other were slim, Matthias remembered the people he met. “You know, the girls baths are in the other room”, Matthias said, quirking an eyebrow at this girl. Why was she even here, anyways?

Astrid realised she really should have looked before she leaped, or at least stripped naked and jumped into the hot bath. She wanted to sink beneath the warm water and just stay there until the boy left. She had never wished to be a child of Neptune more before in her life. Astrid could feel her cheeks burn as she looked over at him, Pure shock and embarrassment written all over her face. "Shit," She said it without thinking and moved her hands under the water to make sure that she was at least somewhat covered incase he decided to take a peek. The blonde thought about trying to explain, but she couldn't make the stupid words come out of her mouth. "I am aware of that." She replied without thinking. She stopped looking at him, instead look everywhere else in the room. The Centurion finally bought her eyes back to the boy, "I'd prefer to know your name, especially now that you've seen me naked."

"If you know all so well, why are you in? I don't see anyone who could have pushed you in", Matthias said, casting a glance towards the doors of the bath. No, there wasn't anyone else, just him and this girl, whoever she was... Now that he thought about it, she seemed somewhat familiar... Wasn't she a centurion? From fifth or maybe fourth? She didn't strike him as anyone from the first. "You wouldn't happen to be a centurion, would you?", Matthias asked, glancing at her once more, curiously. After all, if this was found out by anyone... It wouldn't look the best for the Danish man, being in a bathing facility with a higher up of the opposite gender. He wasn't interested in anything that lied below her shoulders, but as stories were passed to and form by word of mouth, the situations could be twisted to make it sound far more perverse than it actually was.
"Well, seeing you naked wasn't my intent, I can assure you. To be fair, you're seeing me just as nude as you are", Matthias said. He wasn't fond of public nudity, nor having a woman see him naked. He was the kind of person that would even have the lights off, nudity was just not his thing at all. He didn't show how uncomfortable he was about this with the girl in front of him though, instead opting for a facade that seemed far more uninterested. It wasn't like he cared about her or her body for that matter, he was merely here for a bath, something that happened to get interrupted by her jumping in the males baths in the nude. "If you're going to insist on my name, I could really care less. I'm Matthias."

Now Astrid was becoming less embarrassed and more irritated by the whole situation. Sure she'd jumped into the male baths naked but still. She glared over at him, crossing her arms over her chest. "No one pushed me," She told him still glaring, "I was dared to bathe in here." She told him, some indigence in her voice as her brow furrowed. She could almost see him recognise her all of a sudden and her mouth dropped, she hadn't been centurion for very long and because she was in the fourth she never really thought she would get recognised outside of her own cohort. "Um ... yes," the blonde dropped her gaze to the water in front of her, suddenly realising that stupid dares like this wasn't really befitting of someone in her position.
Looking up at she spoke Astrid realised that it was true, if she wanted she would have been able to see equally as naked as herself. Biting her bottom lip, she looked at his face and was somewhat upset to see that he looked completely disinterested in her which caused her to frown. Not that Astrid thought she looked amazing but she definitely wasn't unpleasant looking, she pouted as she thought about this, it was making her upset, not that she wanted Matthias to know that though. "I'm Astrid," she told him, not that he'd asked, but she figured that she may as well tell him.

Matthias chuckled slightly at that. "Really? This was a dare? Honestly, you're pretty lucky that it wasn't someone else in here, someone that might have taken advantage of the situation", Matthias said, with a small nod towards her. By the way she spoke, he could tell something about this encounter had inflicted a sense of irritation in the other, something that he wasn't all too sure how to explain in his own words. To be frank about the entire situation, Matthias might have brushed it off. Though not often did anyone say that they were in a bath naked with a female Centurion, that was quite spotty as a whole... "I'm sure you're feet can't be all that interesting", Matthias said, glancing to her, before swimming closer to where she was, on the other side of the pool. "
Matthias noticed the way her lip quivered, perhaps there was something he had said that was upsetting her? That certainly wasn't the boy's intention, but sometimes he came off that way though. He tried to maintain eye contact with her, give her his full attention, even if she was in the nude right in front of him. "Astrid, ah? Pretty name you have there. Sounds a lot like one from back home. Suits you well though", Matthias said, crossing his arms in the warm water.

"Yes this was a dare," She replied rolling her eyes, before he could finish. She felt like she was always saying this because of the things she gets up to with her friends. However at Matthias' next sentence her eyes opened wide and she looked at him. Astrid had thought that her friend who had dared her might hide out in here to get a glimpse of her nude and that was why she hadn't told him when she was doing it. But surely he wasn't suggesting that someone might take advantage of her in here. She frown at at her feet until he spoke again, looking up and watching him swim towards her.
Astrid couldn't help herself, her eyes quickly moved up and down Matthias as he stopped in front of her. She bit her lip and looked purposefully in the eye instead of at the water. "Thank you. And, where are you from?" She asked, trying to keep the conversation like her eyes, away from both of their nudity.

"You know, I'd think someone would be stupid to dare you with something that could have gone a lot wrong... If anything happened to you, they could get their ass handed to them for it", Matthias said with a small shrug. It seemed that wasn't the answer she was expecting, but that was the answer that he gave, obviously from a far more wary standpoint than she might have been thinking of. "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to you. I'm not that kind of person" he said, noting how she glanced at her feet, not looking him in the eye.
Matthias noticed that she had taken a glance down him, and he took a step back, feeling uncomfortable at the looking. He was incrediblymodest, and that kind of attention being brought to himself, choked him up insanely to be frank about it. He didn't speak for a few moments, just regaining his composure of earlier. "I'm actually from Denmark, Copenhagen to be precise. You see, there, Astrid is a pretty common name. I can tell you're American though, because of your accent", Matthias said, though taking her features into account. She did have pale blonde hair, a lighter shade than Matthias' own golden blonde locks, a trait that was typically stereotyped to Scandinavians. Matthias wasn't exactly the best person to go against the 'all Danes have blonde hair and blue eyes' stereotype however, taking his appearance into account. He was tall, with icy grey-blue eyes and tousled golden hair, that was currently damp from the bath, and slicked back behind his ears for a neater appearance, which wasn't a bad look for Matthias.

"I would hand their ass to them," She replied darkly, "Or anyone who tried." Astrid may look weak but she could definitely handle herself in a fight. She also wasn't someone that would let someone take advantage of her. "Oh," Her expression lightened as he reassured her, "Good." Even with his reassurance though, Astrid decided to keep on her guard. after all, what kind of person would even suggest that kind of thing.
She hadn't meant to make him uncomfortable by looking down. She'd done it so quickly as well that she hadn't taken anything in when she'd done it. Astrid blushed, her pale face turning a bright red as she nervously bit her bottom lip again. Astrid opened and closed her mouth a couple of times, waiting for the apology to come out. Finally, at the exact time that Matthias started to speak. "I'm sorr-" She cut herself off and instead listened to him. Nodding along she smiled shyly when he spoke about her name and being able to tell that she was american. She hadn't realised that the name was common when she'd picked it. All she had known was that she liked it a lot more than her real name. "I'm sorry for-" She had to stop herself from looking again, instead using her hand she did an up and down motion above the water, "looking."
