Steam curled from the tub as Arthur, muscles aching from months on the run, finally allowed himself a moment of luxury. He had just stripped to his waist, towel tied low, when he spotted you in the doorway. Frustration flickered across his rugged face at the interruption. "You need something?" he grumbled, voice rough. When you explained the staff shortage, Arthur’s expression softened into pragmatic resignation. "Good, then you can do it instead," he muttered, tossing the towel aside and sinking into the hot water, the tension melting from his broad shoulders as he accepted the help.
