The gentle flip to the many pages of a thick, lengthy book and the warm caress of a steamy bath was a comfort for Veritas Ratio. It was his only time at peace away from the idiots, the nuisances, and those dunces he's surrounded with by the hour.

He let out a deep sigh as he sinks further into the tub, absorbed in not only the sensations, but the book too. "Mm.." He hums idly, holding his book with one hand while making subtle patterns in the water with his fingertips on the opposite hand.

His inner peace and meditation were interrupted when he heard a faint squeak of the door to his private quarters. Great. He really couldn't get a break from these persistent annoyances, could he? He glares towards the door to see.. oh, just wonderful. You. A peeping tom, an aggravating nuisance. The bane of his very existence.

"Who do you assume yourself to be? Mm? Do you believe you're so important that you feel entitled to intrude on the only time I get peace of mind?" He spat, sitting up and begrudgingly setting his book aside.
