It isn't much just the basics, you know?

[ If he's really curious, she'll leave him following behind while she heads for the washroom. ]

You must be using the same wash they gave us, at the start, for everything? Mm?

Putting down the toilet seat, she opens the suitcase up. On the counter, she leaves makeup remover and face wash, skin lotion, facial moisturiser, a makeup bag, her toothbrush and paste, and her hairbrush - into the shower, shampoo and conditioner! After that, there's still her pyjamas and a fresh shirt. ]

And I take it you aren't.

[ He picks up one of the lotion bottles randomly and reads the label. ]

All this for a single night, though?

[ Shrug! ]

Better than going without it, don't you think?

[ Glancing at him, she snerks. ]

On second thought, perhaps you shouldn't answer that.

[ Shaking his head he replaces the bottle and heads to his room. He'd arrived with his usual striped pyjamas, but seeing as they're currently in need of laundering, he sticks with the t-shirt and a pair of matching black pyjama pants that were provided to him. Once changed he rejoins her in the bathroom to see what this nighttime ritual of hers entails. ]

[ It appears that Grell has already brushed her teeth, and is rinsing her face clean of cleanser. Blinding reaching for the towel, she dabs her face. ]

The sink's all yours! [ Cupping her cheeks with the towel, she heaves a happy sigh! ]

[ Faster than he expected! He takes her place at the sink, brushing he own teeth while watching her in the mirror. Has he lost his mind turning to this redhead for comfort? Considering he'd already been in an asylum for years, he may very well have. ]

Choose whichever side of the bed you prefer, I will join you in a moment.

[ Grell just chuckles, reaching for the facial cream. ]

Oh, I'm not finished yet-- but it won't take me too long.

[ All the while, she's uncapped it to scoop some out, dabbing it on points of her face and neck, before she sets to massaging it in. ]

Here, after you're through, wash your face, and you can apply some of this.

[ Rinsing his mouth out, he takes up the bottle of face wash with a frown. ]

How is this any different from the soap they gave us?

[ Still, he uncaps it to smell if there's any floral aroma to it that he would rather not smell of. ]

[ The soap has more of an herbal scent to it! The moisturiser, however, might smell a bit odd and perfume-y, for anyone not used to it. ]

It's much more gentle, as the skin on your face is naturally sensitive in comparison to our body's! It will feel much softer.

[ Now, she's going to grab some of that skin lotion, and begin applying it to her legs! ]

From what you made me feel of it, your skin is quite soft.

[ A brief look to where she's massaging the lotion in before he decides he'll try the wash. And he's rather surprised by how refreshed he feels after he's rinsed and patted dry! Even to the point of examining his face in the mirror. ]

[ Of course, she doesn't fail to take note of that. Once she's glanced up to watch him, she chuckles! ]

Quite nice, right?

[ Now that she's taken care of her skin below the waist, she pulls on their issued pyjama pants-- she should have purchased some cute shorts, she thinks, but she'd spent their majority of her allowance on what's on the counter right now!

Now, she can strip off her vest and shirt, so that she may get her arms, next! ]

I wouldn't get too much of the moisturiser, if I were you. Don't want it feeling too heavy, you won't like it.

[ Turning towards her, he glances between the facial moisturiser he picks up from the counter and the one she's now using on her arms. ]

You seem to put a lot on.

[ She shoots him a grin. ]

Well, yes. It's very beneficial for skin health. That's how I can keep it feeling the way that it does. [ A wink, because that compliment didn't get past her! No way~ ]

[ Turning back towards the mirror, he does as she had before and dots a small amount on his face. Thankfully the scent isn't too heavy, but it's not one he could see himself getting into a routine with. ]

Are there more masculine scented lotions?

[ That has her face brightening, even if just a little! ]

I'm certain we could find something, even if it were simply a neutral scent, mm?

[ With her arms and body done, she pulls her shirt on, before closing her suitcase, at last! ]

That would work well. [ He hums. ] So I don't wash this off, correct?

[ A laugh, as she comes up behind him to watch, plopping her chin down on a shoulder. ]

No, darling. You let it stay to work its magic~.

[ Again, he tenses his shoulders, but not quite as much as last time. ]

Very well then, I don't believe I put too much on.

[ He makes eye contact in the mirror, silently asking for her critique on his application. ]

[ Well, he seems to want it - to some degree, at least - so he's going to have to get used to it! So, she stays.

Using the mirror to look it over, she hums. ]

It feels nice and even, I assume?

[ Just to test it, of course, she runs a knuckle along his jaw! ]

It feels nice, yes.

[ That time he barely moves at her touch! ]

I may leave the body lotion alone for now.

[ Oh, she's proud of him! Progress already! She stands, hands on her hips. ]

I thought you wouldn't appreciate the smell of it, anyway.

[ An amused croon, as she moves to exit the bathroom. Randomly, she chooses the left side of the bed, pulling back its covers to crawl beneath! ]

[ He was going to mention that it smells nice on her, but she's gone before he has the chance. Oh well, perhaps that's better anyway. He's already in deeper than he'd ever imagined he would be.

Not at all fussy about the side she's chosen, he climbs in beside her. There's certainly enough room for them both without any contact, but William's sure that won't end up being the case. ]

[ Indeed, Grell immediately scoots closer, curling one arm under her pillow, as the other rests beneath her chin. She's removed her glasses, but they're close enough that she can make out William somewhat! ]

What a day we've had...

[ He seems hesitant to remove his own as his eyesight is deplorable, but it would be worse to need them repaired should he break them. He sets them down on the nightstand before setting about getting comfortable. Though he tends to sleep on his back, he decides facing his companion for the evening would be a better choice. ]

Rather mentally exhausting.

[ The redheaded reaper hums in agreement - and now that the other can't see her, and she's relaxed beside him, her features have softened considerably! ]

Now, that is an understatement. [ She chuckles, breath lulling into a pause. ] How have you been feeling, by the way? Since-- you know, we'd concluded our assignment.
