Damian doesn't complain. He realises how much the zombie-raising, crime-scene-examining Executioner values being free of various fluids. When you have a dirty job, being clean becomes more firmly engrained.
He wonders if the metaphysical ache that overcomes him when they physically part is as strong for her as it is for him, and for those few moments that she spends in the bathroom, he worries that she will think too much, second-guess herself, and withhold her touch again.
It's striking to him how very much that thought affects him, and he mentally prepares himself for the worst. Lying on the bed, he enjoys the moment. He might be in Milliways, but right now he's naked in Anita's bed. The scent of sex lingers here, as well as Anita's personal scent. He can even smell traces of her leopard bedmates, Nathaniel's sweet vanilla and Micah's subtle, but masculine cologne. All together, this has to be one of the most comforting scents he has taken in for a while.
He closes his eyes, remaining calm when he hears and senses Anita emerge from the bathroom and approach again.
