As he begins stepping into the baths, he tries to tell himself that the cut of a familiar figure in its waters could be anyone - could just be someone he doesn't know that works in some other part of the Gallows, that it's not a one-hundred percent guarantee of who he thinks it is. But then, of course, he sees the collar resting upon the little pile of clothes and while it's still possible it could be someone else there is an even greater likelihood that it is who he expects.

It shouldn't make his pulse quicken the way it does. After all, he's bathed with his - Eros - he's bathed with Eros and they are two parts of the same person, technically. So it's not unusual, it shouldn't be anything to be nervous about. They are just bathing in the same space. It's not as if they'd even be bathing together, everyone bathes here (hopefully, hopefully everyone bathes). Still, there is a moment of hesitation as he fights his urge to leave and come back later.

No, that's silly. He should just carry on and pay Diabhall no mind.

So, with light steps, he approaches the water and sets his things beside the bathing pool before stepping in. Despite choosing not to entirely evade the man, he still chooses a spot that's a few feet away, leaving a generous amount of personal space between them.
