[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]

[He works his way all the way down to her ankles, kneading out the tight spots as he goes]

[When he reaches her feet, they get the same treatment, thumbs digging into the balls and arches of her feet]

[He keeps it up a while here, too, seeking out the parts that feel tight and working on them until they stop causing her feet to flex when he presses into the muscle with the ball of his thumb]

[He keeps it up a while longer, just because he can, and because he likes seeing her like this, relaxed and comfortable like she deserves. But, finally:]

You ready for me to do your hair?

[There's a beat while he puts the order into his phone - another, while it gets delivered]

[Then the sound of a cap popping open, and he holds it toward her - it's rich and herbal, rosemary and jasmine and a few brighter hints]

This okay?

What, for me? I usually just get whatever.

[He sets the bottle down and turns to look for a shower head, to get her hair wet]

Figured you deserved something nice tonight, though. Don't they say stuff that smells good helps you relax or something?

Who says it's trouble? We got delivery now.

[Helping himself to the pitcher, and filling it with very warm water]

Gonna start now, okay?

Lucky you we ain't doing hair cuts. Then you'd really be in trouble.

[Pouring the warm water over her head, gentle; he angles his free hand against her forehead, to keep it from getting into her eyes]
