"Alright." He didn't hear any sounds from his room as he stood, putting his hand out for Tseng to take so he could carefully step out of the tub once the last of the blood had been washed away. He felt steadier on his feet now, though still exhausted. He was going to sleep well tonight.

"I have some early morning meetings tomorrow with some contractors but I'll contact you in the afternoon so we can coordinate our efforts," he remarks as he grabs a towel. He was supposed to have gotten through some proposals tonight but he figured he would just plan to wake up early instead.
