Nonsense! We've come this far together. At the very least, we should make certain we all are comfortably cleaned up and as put together as we possibly can be in the aftermath of all of this!
Well, yes, I suppose so. I haven't seen any sort of laundry and drier situation, but it wouldn't take long for the clothing to dry if it was hung out properly.
[Hm...]
Perhaps some of the rooms have robes or something like that? For while we wait for clothes to dry. As for the eyepatch [which is very cool btw], I'm certain we could fashion something temporary!
I'm not worried about getting something temporary really, but, uh.
[ Well actually, a part of it is already visible even without the eyepatch and mask scenario most of the time, but he has these strange bruise-like patterns visible peeking out from under it and just barely on the bridge of his nose. ]
[ Screw it, he decides. His face isn't much of a secret these days anyway and having a wet patch just stuck on your face is 1) uncomfortable and 2) debateable sanitary-wise when it's all foreign lake fish blood water. It's pretty much as-is from icon. ]
[He tilts his head, brow furrowing a little, though it's more thoughtful than anything.]
Are you worried about this being seen in general? We could also make sure the others aren't able to see you until you're properly covered up again, if that would help.
It's outgrown most face coverings I can wear unless I want to wear a full mask all the time. I'm more worried that people will be concerned about it. Does that make sense?
I don't need people to tiptoe around it, it's okay. But I know it looks pretty bad, so...
I see... so it is entirely a matter of you being considerate.
Still! If you don't feel the need to keep it hidden, then the others will simply have to learn to be fine with it as well. Consideration is important and all well and good, but the space you occupy is yours, and you shouldn't attempt to minimize that.
Then we are both considerate people, as is only right and proper!
[A firm nod; he seems perfectly satisfied.]
Then if you aren't bothered by it, I won't be either! But if anyone does cause trouble, then you need only say the word and the three of us will be certain to do something about it.

The ancient Greeks were the first people to have showers. Their aqueducts and water systems made of lead pipes allowed water to be pumped both into and out of large communal shower rooms used by elites and common citizens alike.[4] These rooms have been discovered at the site of the city Pergamum and can also be found represented in pottery of the era. The depictions are very similar to modern locker room showers and even include bars to hang up clothing.[5]

Er.
Why not?

I saw something horrible happen in one once. So...
Ever since then, I can't... really use bathtubs.
no subject
I--I see! Is it only bathtubs themselves? Perhaps one of us could fill the tub and then dump the water on you with buckets, or something like that?

I'd have to take off stuff like my eyepatch and clothes to dry them, right? Do we even have a dryer around here?
no subject
Well, yes, I suppose so. I haven't seen any sort of laundry and drier situation, but it wouldn't take long for the clothing to dry if it was hung out properly.

It's maybe not so pretty under here?

He'd prop his hands on his hips, but they are occupied right now. But that's the vibe. He draws his shoulders back a little, anyway, brows furrowed.]
And so? It certainly isn't anything anyone should have a problem with!

No?

It's also on my hands and legs, so.

It's okay! It's a little bit of both? It's not that big of a deal.

R-really, it's never going to get that far!
no subject
Yes, I also don't think it will! But even so, the offer will remain open.
[He hums thoughtfully.]
Though I suppose baths and cleaning up will have to wait until whatever is afflicting all of you lets up.
[They are not all holding hands in the bath.]

I understand. A place can become tainted by the ills that ensued there.
I prefer to use hot springs and clear running streams myself. We've not proper baths in my current lodgings either.
no subject
I do think hot springs sound nice. And, um, I mean. Showers are totally fine.

Though, if I find a place where one might have a good hot soak under a starry night, I shall let you know.

Thanks, Melinoe-san. It sounds really nice. I'll look forward to it.
