It is a mistake for him to be here. I could get accustomed to having someone to talk with. Having someone to wait on me isn't a hardship either, although I understand it is the circumstances that has him doing the menial chores he would normally leave to a servant.
Still it is nice hearing the heavy thud of footsteps, watching as he labors, the way the muscles in his back, beneath his shirt, bunch and flex whenever he lifts a bucket and pour the water in the tub. He moves with such ease, a man comfortable in his own skin. He knows who he is, what he is, which makes him incredibly appealing.
“There”. He finally proclaims. “That should do it”.
I still am not certain bathing with him about is wise, but I do trust him, which is also probably not wise. Obviously the blow has knocked
