[He'd mostly just meant wiping himself down. A full shower might elicit suspicion, like Elan said. Still...]

They might, but I could probably talk my way out of it.

[Perhaps by saying he went in the hot spring again and showered afterwards (assuming none of the others went back there). Or he could finagle some type of other excuse. Maybe he popped outside for a bit but fell in some mud and had to wash off? Though it is rather cold outside...

In the end he shrugs it off.]

Well, I'll try not to let the humidity get to my hair too much. I just kind of want to bathe together, since we never got to go in the onsen at the same time. I never washed your back, and you never pointed up at the stars and explained the constellations to me! Though perhaps some other time...

[He starts to get up from the futon... and then leaves his underwear there. He'll put those back on when he's clean again! Throwing a smile over his shoulder at Elan, he heads for the bathroom.]

Anyway, let's go!
