That's handy. Can't say the cold bit sounds all that appealing, though.

[Then again, he's taken cold showers by choice before. They have their place, just as hot showers do.

Cal leans back on his hands for a few moments, breathing in the steam from the hot water. It feels almost wrong to allow himself to relax like this, after everything that's transpired in the last month or so. When he should be back with the Mantis, with everyone else. But, at the same time, it doesn't hurt to have a little taste of a nice thing. All in moderation.

With a decisive exhale, he sits up and tugs off his shirt, displaying not only a rich collection of freckles along his pale shoulders and arms, but also what appear to be some burn scars, the most recent being a horizontal line across his chest and a circular scar in his left shoulder.

He slips into the water and can't help the small groan of appreciation that leaves him as the heat works its magic on his sore muscles.]


Yeah...that's real nice.
