"Wouldn't mind a shower, actually," Jigen grunts, abruptly painfully aware
of exactly how filthy he is now that he's surrounded by clean, civilized
things. He does take his own belongings into the bathroom with him, along
with a randomly chosen set of clothes, locking the door that he knows
Zenigata could break down without flinching.
Then he strips, gets under the hot water, and just melts. It feels like
heaven on his cold, raw skin. Jigen runs his hand through matted hair and
beard, taking his leisurely time as he indulges. Water pools and runs in
rivers through the gnarled scar tissue of his right arm but he barely
worries about it, nearly brought to tears just by the sensation of warmth
on him.
By the time he comes out he looks half-asleep but more alive, greyish skin
now a soft pink from the heat. "Hot water's run out," he mumbles, quite
aware of whose fault that is.
