As much as he knew this was entirely his fault, and that he'd dragged her into this mess, it was nice to know he had her to lean on. Seeing that little smile, and her confirmation just made it seem as if it would all be better.
Having her smirk like that and look at him certainly didn't hurt, and perhaps he'd been going about this sympathy thing all wrong. He didn't protest at all when she started to undress him, even though she called him a big baby.
His sight seemed to improve as he watched her shimmy out of her robes and stand there naked as he hopped into the shower. The water felt good as he stood under the stream, letting it pour over his face and head. He felt the heat of her body next to his as she stood with him under the water, moaning just softly from the feel of her hands against his skin as they showered together.
"We don't do this nearly often enough," he said in a smug tone, watching the water across her skin. He could see the marks were fading as her skin was beginning to look flawless again. She was still rather thin, but she wasn't looking as pallid as she had been the week before.
