[He lets out a low, dry chuckle, turning the strong line of his jaw into that nuzzle before he bends to press a kiss against Hythlodaeus' forehead. Reaching out to test the heat of the water for himself, he gently urges Hythlodaeus to step forward into the spray with a hand at the small of his back, encouraging.]
That you most certainly are.
[He has not forgotten. Given the opportunity, Hythlodaeus would never allow him to do so, but even after thousands of years apart, there is much he remembers as though it has been only days. There were times when he had often cursed his own memory and the pain it brought with it, but this particular memory offers him the opportunity to smile at his partner's teasing, and he is grateful for that.
Once he has the opportunity, he steps smoothly into the shower behind him, pressing against his back and leaning in to press a soothing kiss against Hythlodaeus' jaw, followed by his neck, careful and attentive. They certainly do have plenty of time ahead of them, and for once, time no longer seems a dreadful and unending thing, but an opportunity.]
No doubt we'll find a way to fill those hours together.
[He begins to carefully undo what little remains of Hythlodaeus' braid— they'd made quite a mess of his hair, honestly.]

Not too hot?
