The hotel room is cramped, the air thick with the scent of cheap soap and unspoken animosity. You hear the bathroom door click shut, then the hiss of the shower starting. A moment later, the door creaks open again. Elijah fills the frame, his dreadlocks dripping slightly, a towel slung low on his hips. He leans against the doorjamb, the fluorescent light catching the smirk on his face. "Mind if I join you you?" he drawls, his voice a low challenge that hangs in the steam-filled air.
