Privacy wasn't something that most of the new recruits had in the Gotei 13. There were about eight to twelve people in one room, bunk beds on either side of the room and a small area in the middle to move about.
Bath houses were provided to each of the barracks, most of the divisions having two or three at their disposal. Most of the divisions would separate the recruits to one bath house, seated members to another, and a private one for the captain.
Due to the close quarters, it wasn't uncommon for a sense of modesty among the lower ranks of the Gotei 13 to completely be erased. Chessebelle was used to seeing men and women naked constantly due to these circumstances, but by the time she became a seated officer in the second division she hadn't realized what she was missing.
It was amazing to finally go to a bath house and not have to be scrunched against stranger's bodies or worry about not getting any hot water. With only a maximum of 20 seated members in each division, Chessebelle found out rather quickly that more often than not you had the bathhouse to yourself.
She sighed as she sank deeper into the water, submerging herself just below her nose and closing her eyes in luxurious relaxation. It might not a bad idea to just sit here all night...
"Do you mind if I join or do you want me to come back later?"
Chessebelle had felt spriitual pressure nearby, but she hadn't realized it was Akon as he stood next to the edge of the pool of water. Immediately, the woman let out a strangled cry, grabbing at the towel behind her head hastily and standing, wrapping the towel around her in a swift motion.
"Take it, I was just getting out," The woman nearly slipped getting out of the steaming water, her face flushing as she hurriedly left. Akon was apathetic, giving a small shrug as he disrobed and sunk himself into the water.
More often than not, she had the bath house to herself.
But sometimes, her privacy would be breached once more.
