Riley let out a sigh and took the offered hand, pulling himself into a sitting and then standing position in one swift, fluid motion. He took just a moment to look Tao up and down once and then released his hand and took a few long strides until he was standing beside the tub. He looked down, his expression curious, at the large, luxurious bath. He had never seen anything like it. He let out a soft, animal-like whine from between his teeth and then dipped the toes of his right foot into the water. Hot! Like he hadn't ever felt before! His eyes widened a little as he sunk his foot in deeper and he looked over his shoulder at Tao, his expression incredulous. He was too busy feeling a sense of wonderment to feel embarrassed.
He withdrew his foot and then knelt down at the edge of the bath, taking a long, tentative sniff of the water. He let out yet another soft whine and then slipped inside of the tub until the water was up to his waist. He tilted his head to look up at Tao for a brief moment, and then he let out a barking laugh and ducked under the surface of the water with a tremendous splash.
