[His hands are pink and raw from all the scrubbing he's been doing, through the night. There are circles under his eyes and his face is drawn and pale. He hasn't slept. 

But hey, at least his newly-claimed bedroom is spotless.]

Someone mentioned tea, when I first arrived. I want it now. The strongest black brew you have. 

[He rolls his neck.] And a bath, too. If anyone can point me somewhere private with hot water, tell me. 

[[lol oops >>; Dated properly now!]]

[Oh. Great.]

So, no private bath houses, then.

[Ordinarily it wouldn't be a problem--bathing is largely communal in Konoha. But the idea of townspeople whispering about his body, and the rumors that might fly regarding its condition, irritates him.]

[tatra]

Oh no, quite the contrary. There are private rooms for bathing in the castle.

[bondsoflove]

Safe from people sneaking peeks?

[tatra]

As safe as you can get, in Schwanheim. [ It's not like villagers are climbing walls to look in through the windows. ...Yet. ]

[bondsoflove]

You can give me directions over tea.

[tatra]

I look forward to it.

[bondsoflove]

Momentarily, then.

[And the orb goes dark.]
