Once Crocodile had gathered his things, he made his way to the bathroom, a towel just peeking over the side of the large tub. As usual, the water was prepared in no time, and he sunk into the water, his head resting against the cool surface of the tub. His eyes slid closed, one hand moving into his hair to push it out of his face, and before he knew it, he was asleep again. The night before had been unusual to say the least, but there was not a bit of him that wished it had not happened. While he still wanted to know why, there was no complaint in his mind. The dark canvas of his eyelids was painted delicately with a light shade of blue, following the tone he recalled in Robin's voice the night before. She seemed so innocent, if only within that moment. Although, it did come to the male's attention, that the voice he was hearing was not simply a recollection. When he let his eyes drift open, he was greeted by familiar blue eyes and sleep swept bangs.
"Oh no, did I wake you?" The female's voice came again in a tone that almost seemed to mock him. Her foot lifted from where it lay in the water and she nudged it against his leg. Sitting there on the side of the bath, she looked calm, relaxed. Her foot rested against his leg, giving it a gentle nudge. "Don't let me get in the way of your nap, boss. The water just seemed too relaxing not to give it a go." Robin's lips were just barely turned up in amusement at watching Crocodile's face contort and change in confusion. It only grew when he actually responded to her. He lifted a hand in response, seeming to wave her away. "Woman, you need to either warm up the water and get in or leave so that I can enjoy the rest of my time in here." Expecting her to leave, he laid his head back once more, letting his eyes slip closed.
When he opened his eyes again, feeling the water around his feel begin to stir again, he was met by tanned skin and the sight of his business partner stripping her night shirt away to expose said tan. Once she had eased herself down into the water, she turned away from him to drain some of the water, running warmer water into the bath. Crocodile shifted to sit up a bit, one of his arms resting against the side of the bath to prop his chin up. When he moved, Robin's attention was pulled to him and he noticed that her lips were still turned up. Obviously she was amused by something. "Why so startled? You did offer, did you not?" Robin cooed to the male, letting herself sink into the water, the level coming up to the level of her collarbone. The water moved slowly, sloshing against her skin, which made for quite the sight available for the male in the water with her.
Crocodile gave a quiet grunt and relaxed back down into the water, the hand that had been propping his chin moving to rest over his eyes. He sighed deeply, closing his eyes and letting the warmth from the water seep into him once again. "As long as you don't interrupt, you can stay as long as you'd like." He muttered to the female as he felt himself beginning to drift off again slowly. He did not know how long he had slept, but he was woken by the cooling water around the two of them. His eyes eased open and he glanced to Robin, a flutter beginning in his stomach when he saw the sleeping figure across from him. He got to his feet and grabbed a towel, running it over his face before looking back to the sleeping female. She really shouldn't sleep in here alone. Something could happen. He thought as he wrapped the towel around his waist, stepping away from the bath.
After a moment of contemplation, Crocodile moved to kneel next to the bath, his hand moving to rest on Robin's shoulder. He gave her a light shake, leaning down to her ear to speak to her. To his surprise, her reaction was immediate. Before he could say anything to her, her hand shot up to grab the hand that had rested on her shoulder and her gaze tracked to the male's face. He gave her shoulder a light squeeze, actually speaking now in a soft tone. "You're fine. It's just me." In response to the kindness, Robin's face relaxed, along with the rest of her body. Her hand, however, stayed on his, clutching it just the slightest bit. She cleared her throat and let her gaze fall from his face. "There's something I need to ask you." Her face stayed turned from him, but her eyes shifted in his direction in time for her to see him nod a bit. "Why did I wake up in your bed?" Crocodile's face shifted once more to one of confusion. "You know, Nico Robin, I have been wanting to ask you the same thing since you came into my room last night."
