He did tell her that he'd repay that debt for tripping him up in the living room and nearly falling on the floor. That would have smeared some unwanted substance on the floor, but he feels what he's done here has made up for it.]

[He says with a smile, but he doesn't go to leave or finish washing his hair, instead choosing to ignore her request to sink his hands into her hair again, pushing hers out of the way. He starts where he left off, being mindful of her eyes as he massages her scalp once more.]
Lumine...
[He says quickly, before she can slap his hands away again.]
I'm grateful that we can have this time together.
[His eyes soften as he looks down at her, and he means it earnestly. The day before, he'd been left in a crumpled heap on the floor, and if it had gone any differently he wouldn't be standing there, able to do something as simple as wash her hair.]
