For all his pouting, Huaisang is preening a little under the attention. As much as he just wants to go to bed, he does enjoy being taken care of. It feels good and in his time back home, there hadn't been much time or opportunity for pampering.

"You can wash my hair. I'll be done quicker that way and then we can both go to bed."

Once the tub is full, Huaisang turns off the faucet and sheds whatever layers of clothing that remain and sits down in the bathtub. He lathers up a washcloth with soap and gets to scrubbing off the sea grime.
