Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
"Maybe if you had been harder to track down I would have seen more wilderness before we came back here." You joke. You normally are like this—quick with a sunny reply and a smile—but you're also using it as a bit of a litmus test to see how much of this conversation he's tracking, and able to follow.
Hearing the sound of Finn's sudden shift in position, you glance over your shoulder doing a double-take, before immediately rushing to the lip of the tub. Your eyes scan him quickly to see if there any fresh wounds, before you bite back a sigh, reaching instead for the towel he's discarded. Placing it over his lap and resisting the urge to try to literally shake some sense into him, you pay the wall of the tub farthest from the tap. "Come lean here." You encourage softly.
"Took a bath?" You wonder aloud, before wishing you'd never started the sentence at all. I’d not been alone in a very long time. It was possible that he'd had to use joint bath-houses, or that cleaning up was part of the price paid. Some who might like to baby him? Or to watch him wash himself? You shiver at the thought.
Reaching for the tap, you turn it on low at first until you can get the temperature right. "You're burning up Finn. I know you aren't going to want this, but it'll have to be colder than normal. Don't hate me for it, alright?"
