"Thank you," she says, because she might be an asshole a lot of the time,
but she also definitely knows when someone's doing her a favour. She waits
until Nova tosses her a t-shirt and then disappears into the little room,
shutting the door behind her. She doesn't bother locking it - it's not
like he doesn't know she's in here. She stands under the hot water for a
long time, letting the crucible wash off her skin. She soaps her hair with
shower gel, combing it through with her fingers and then rinsing away the
suds.
Eventually, she climbs out, drying herself off, pulling on Nova's clothes
and wrapping her hair.
"Thanks," she says, her voice pitched to carry when she opens the door.
"That really helped..."
