That Bob laughed his normal (read: self-deprecating laugh) when Bailey informed him he was tall was a good sign that things were getting better. His arms had somehow sagged lower and he was getting used to the splich and sploch of his drenched shoes.
"Yeah, I'd," he nodded towards the stairwell ahead, "much rather take the stairs if that's fine. You're absolutely right, though," he said about the hypothermia, smiling at her. At the back of his head, actually, he wondered if the lift would have been better. It would be faster, less messy...but he didn't want to wait.
Bailey was doing a great job making Bob forget his plunge, though. She was fresh, she seemed very chill. "Bob," he said, choosing to use his nickname first as it seemed to fit her personality more. "Although my real name is Robert. I'm the groundsman. It's not a part of my job to test the water, though." He tried to laugh at his own sad joke. He never said he was smart enough to talk interesting stuff while they took the stairs, though.
