He stared mutely at the pile of clothing she offered to him for a moment too long before taking it, fingers brushing over the soft fabric and finding himself reveling in the feeling. It had been such a long time since he had had any experience with something clean. For A brief moment, his emotions threatened to overcome him, the sheer weight of what his friend was doing for him just beginning to hit him across the shoulders. It threatened to make his knees buckle.

Letting The first genuine laugh to come from him for months burst out of him, he swiveled his body and began heading towards the bathroom, raising one hand and giving it a small wave. "catch you after I smell better!"
