The hand in his hair didn't stop him, but Zavien smiled softly, his touch lingering as he wondered casually at what he was doing. Something satisfied and utterly content had filled him in this shower. It had snuck up on him like sunlight having crept across the floor until it was washing over him. As he finished washing Soh, he came to notice it, marveling at the sensation when he released her foot to stand.
His eyes ran languidly over Soh as she rinsed, wondering if this was her doing, if she was why he felt this way, why his mind seemed consumed by nothing but her. And when she turned to remind him of their deal, he still hadn't figured it out. But a deal was a deal. He handed her the soap and stood poised for her to direct him how and where she wanted. It had been decades since someone had washed him and he wasn't quite sure how he was supposed to act or help.
