[ he doesn't care, either. he knows this is to help out with kaeya and that's all there is to it. no reason to get weird about it. besides, everyone's had to deal with strip checks already. no big.
but he does help him get into the tub. the water isn't too hot, luckily, probably more mild because of factoring burns. ]
...Wish I had something to help with those injuries.
[ really. he's grateful as the water soothes with the lightest touch, mild is good he draws his knees up and wraps an arm around them. once he's settled, it starts to truly feel good and he drapes an arm over the edge, resting his chin on his arm. ]
You're a good man, Kotetsu Kaburagi. I know our time in Krankaz towards the end was difficult for you. But you're so resilient. I just... wanted to make sure you knew that... I have respect for you.
[ he turns to rest his head fully on his arm now. ]
[ he can't help but feel really warm from these words. settling himself on the floor next to the tub, arm resting on the ledge for now. he offers a soft smile in return to his words. ]
I've had a lot of good people around me to help support me through it. I owe everyone a lot.
[ there is a pure fondness in his voice. he truly does care about the people he's gotten to know here. ]
Wild, huh?
But I'm glad I've gotten to know you, too. None of it's easy here, but we keep going forward because we need to.
[ he laughs a bit at that water flick. instead of flicking anything back, he reaches out to gently pick a small piece of fabric off of him. being very, very soft about it to not hurt him.
but then he pauses at the question and just turns a light shade of red, burying his face in his arms and feels like he's dying all over again. he mumbles into his arms. ]
I didn't see anything. It was something over my link. I'm guessing some embarrassing memories or something.
he stills as that happens, fingers tense until he realizes that the gentleness that kotetsu is using keeps it all to a minimum. when he relaxes, it goes even easier, and he's left pressing his cheek into his arm. another flick. ]
Must have been very embarrassing to make you blush like that.

[ he looks at kotetsu on the floor tenderly, flicking him with a little bit of water with a lazy hand. ]
Oh... hey, Kotetsu. While I have you here, tell me what all that was about in the boat? You made that face... and then your daemon jumped on you.
[ and rocked the entire boat. he's raising a brow softly. ]
What did you see?

[ flick flick more water he's a lil shit ]

It probably was. I didn't ask what happened. Easier not to pry into your link's private life, right?
[ but he lifts his head a bit, cheeks still holding a little blush as he looks at kaeya like this. ]
no subject
[ he just offers him a smile, taps his own cheek briefly. your face is still blushing. cute. ]
no subject
It makes you wonder what the guy has hidden.
[ a huff of laughter. ]
