After the initial shock of seeing Loren (and indeed, seeing him without a shirt), Abasi noticed two things. Firstly that he seemed to be washing blood off his skin - this gave him some great concern and he stepped forward, questions already on his lips. But before he could reach Loren he noticed the second thing; that there was water running down the man's chest in a very distracting way.
"I was...looking for you." He replied, his voice tellingly distracted as his eyes followed the trail of one drop from Loren's collarbone and down his chest, over his stomach and to his hips. Abasi closed his eyes and breathed, trying to stop himself from getting flustered like a teenager with a first crush.
Besides, before he let himself get taken away with the rather unfairly erotic imagery before him, there were other matters. "I heard there was a fire and I was worried for you. Though it seems you are..." He looked Loren up and down again and cleared his throat. "Fine."
It did not, as of yet, strike Abasi that this was indeed somewhere private, like he had asked for the last time they had met. Regardless, he was aware of the rather warm mood that had settled over them. "...I was not sure you'd want me to come looking for you, but the people in the temple said you had gone off on your own. You seem...a proud man, so I wanted to be sure you had not come to make private a wound."
