it is better than most come out from tangling with the Creature.
Rook hums as he maneuvers them both, making sure to not let the pull of his Cardinal go too far, but just enough that Jiho doesn't feel pain when the water washes off the blood. enough that the assassin doesn't flinch at the movement of Rook's hands along the bruises on his back, furrow between his brow.

Hey, I will have you know I'm wearing real clothes today. Kinda. [ his shirt is white, well, was white, and the pants are light grey. both are probably going to be ruined after this, but Rook doesn't care at all. he finds himself smiling, warmth in his bones, at the look on Jiho's face. and yeah, maybe it is his Cardinal at work and maybe none of this is real but-- fuck, Rook is enjoying that Jiho is letting him this close. is letting him help in whatever way he can.]
