Rose passed a few people in the halls, and while their faces were familiar and friendly, their names were not registering. She smiled at them. One or two asked if she was alright. How sweet of them. She tried to hold in the shivering, so as not to worry anyone. Those she passed seemed comfortable with the air conditioning. Maybe she had just gotten used to the tropical climate more quickly.
”Just need a shower. ‘M a bit cold is all.” She waved as she passed. She was weaving a bit as she walked, but that could well be due to just waking up.
The women’s bathroom, she remembered it from somewhere, but it had shower curtains this time. She stripped and let the scrubs lay where they fell, she didn’t have the energy to pick them up right now. Not when she was so bloody cold, to her bones. It was almost as bad as Women Wept, with its frozen oceans. Beautiful, but so cold.
She turned on the water. As hot as she could get it without burning. As it was her skin reddened from the heat. Oh, lovely warmth.
She managed to pick up the soap and shampoo and actually wash up before just standing under the hot flow. But her legs were shaky again so she sat down on the tiled floor. The tiles had warmed a bit from the water. This was nice.
