One heavy breath, like he's got to shake something off, but his eyes remain alight and a smile tweaks into the corners of his lips. He puts the towel around his waist, and cautiously steps out of the tub while letting the rest of the water streak down his body. He keeps his gaze on August even after being out of the shower, the two of them like rival street cats keeping tabs on one another.]
