[It's plastic, it can take it]

[Which is to say, he curls her a little closer, keeping up the petting]

[No biggie either way]

[Certainly nothing to worry about for a long few minutes, while the tub does its thing. In the meantime, he continues the slow strokes, fingers combing softly through her hair]

[As you do]

[It's been a very, very long game]

Yeah. Let's get you cleaned up.

[He presses a kiss to her forehead, soft - shifts slightly, to offer an arm for support so she can make it to the tub]

Go on. I got you.

[He presses a kiss to her cheek, soft]

I ain't gonna let you fall.

Anytime, dude.

[Another kiss, as soft as the first, and he reaches for the soap and a washcloth]

[He soaps up the cloth, careful, and then gets to work]

[Her face comes first; he uses the corner without much soap to gently wipe away any lingering smears of blood. When the worst of it's gone, he dips that portion of the cloth again to rid it of the soap and gives her face a more thorough wipe down: the crease beside her nose, and the divot under her chin, and the space behind her ears]

[When her face is done, he moves onto her neck, just as gentle - her shoulders, and then her arms, one at a time, careful to get between each finger]

[He's definitely giving the injured areas a wide berth; they've been cleaned already, after all, so no sense in a do-over, especially not if it's going to hurt her]

[The name of the game seems to be slow and relaxing, honestly; the strokes of the cloth are as much to soothe her as to get the blood off]

[He skirts around the injuries on her side, giving the plastic plenty of space - cleans up her other side, though, then skims down to get her hips]

[When he's done, he reaches in for a leg - tugs gently, to coax her to rest it on the edge of the tub for a minute]

[Now that her leg isn't submerged, he can soap it up properly - does so, working his way along the calf and thigh, over her ankle and between the toes]

[If anything's particularly tight, he'll work at it with his fingers instead of the cloth, kneading gently, and when he's finished he does the other leg, as well]

[...oh]

[Going to slow it down and be more thorough then, digging into the knots in her calves with the balls of his thumbs]
