No?

You're definitely not going to be clean sitting in dirty bath water though.

[iheardarumor]

[. . . the more you say it, the grosser he feels. :/

looking at the bath water]

I suppose I've grown used to worse conditions.

[soundsinsilence]

[That's because it is kind of gross . . . ]

It's okay, I mean . . . there's always next time? You'll be able to have a nice clean bath eventually, definitely . . .

[iheardarumor]

I'll admit, I was single-mindedly focused on having fresh water at all.

[soundsinsilence]

Been a while?

Mm, that's . . . really understandable.

[iheardarumor]

Such a long time.

My next goal was to inspect those windows I spotted.

[soundsinsilence]

This is the third floor. They're all along the south wall—on the floor above, they wrap almost half way around, and there's two stores of them.

The floor above that, goes right onto the roof, so you can stand below the open sky, if you want.

[iheardarumor]

... the sky?

[soundsinsilence]

It's a nice day out. Still a bit cool, but the snow's all melted . . . I'm sure we could find extra clothes if you wouldn't be dressed for it.

[iheardarumor]

Snow?

[weather does happen here!]

... I do poorly in the cold, but so long as the sun is warm, I should weather it well enough.

[soundsinsilence]

You aren't the only one. There's a lot of people here not used to it . . . the dragons on the first floor, too. They don't do so well.

Want me to show you the way?

[iheardarumor]

If you do not mind having such a rude person for company.

[soundsinsilence]

Doesn't that go both ways?

[iheardarumor]

True enough.

All right then.

[standing up.]

[soundsinsilence]

[Oh um.

Turns. Turns around.]

W-when you're ready, then . . .

[iheardarumor]

Hm?

--oh.

My apologies.

[splishsplash gonna get what clothes he had been given--they're definitely not for warm whether seeing as they're Dellen's favored soft cotton.]

[soundsinsilence]

It's fine, it's fine—!!

[Still not turning around until he's dressed though.]

[iheardarumor]

If it's so fine, you should calm yourself. Here, I'm clothed now!

[... and still dripping wet. oh well.]

[soundsinsilence]

[That . . . is pretty notable, yeah.

She goes to her own bag, pulling out a towel, and drapes it over his head.]

Here. You can have this—as an apology for earlier.

Want to see the sky now?

[iheardarumor]

[hands are going up to the towel before pausing at the question]

Ah, yes. I would like to.

[soundsinsilence]

Mm! Don't forget your scissors.

[Starts for the door.]

[iheardarumor]

[... right.

getting those.

snip. snip.

and putting them safely in a pocket before following after :)]

[soundsinsilence]

[. . . hopeless.

The corridors are at least more spacious than many of the tunnels, and something about them is . . . warmer.]

Would you like a mirror, after this? It's a little lopsided . . .

[iheardarumor]

[stone, stone, stone everywhere...

keeping the towel on his head, occasionally rubbing a hand against it to get his hair a bit drier]

I think I will be fine without one for the time being, thank you.

[soundsinsilence]

[Stone and stairs, though . . . stairs going up, and and up, and the almost-forgotten scent and feel of fresh air, still touched with just a bit of the morning dew.]

Okay. It's probably something you'd want to do yourself, anyway . . .
