Eve's silence was strange, but maybe she just got distracted. She does live with two other people, so perhaps the Doctor or Miss Blade wanted her for something. Eve will get back to her when she has time. Corrin can finish her tea and then focus on her bath in the meantime. She disrobes in her bedroom before crossing to the bathroom, and begins filling up the tub. The clothes are left carelessly on the floor for now, out of sight enough that a cursory glance of the room probably wouldn't notice them. She sits on the edge of the tub as it fills, letting her hand gauge the water temperature to make sure it doesn't get boiling hot or ice cold. This is going to feel so good. With the door to the bathroom closed, the running water probably isn't very easy to hear.
And because of how tired and sore she was coming home, she didn't bother to bring up the ladder after her, or lock the door. She was home, after all, no need to worry about any thieves breaking in. What would they steal, anyway? Mr. Pookie, safely on her bed?
And then the door opens and Eve walks in to find Corrin sitting on the edge of a mostly-full tub of warm water, reaching over to turn the flow off.
Completely naked.
Corrin manages to keep her composure; it's not like she's never been naked around other women before, after all. The Nohrian camp did have open-air baths, and during the designated women's bath time towels weren't always used. But then again, those were public baths. One expected to be nude around other nude people. Less so in her own home.
Cheeks pink, Corrin straightens up. "Oh, um. H-Hello Eve." She says, carefully crossing a leg over another and covering her chest with an arm. "I didn't hear you come in. I was, um. About to have a bath." Well, so much for that for the moment. "Would you wait outside for...for a moment?"
She can wrap a towel around herself to get to her discarded clothes in the bedroom at least.
