Tao followed slowly, watching as he seemed to be trying to decide if there was anything wrong with the water. His head tilted to the side as he watched, it was almost like watching a child discover a new toy. Figuring out if it was safe, if they could touch it, tentative, then suddenly playing. He could name the herbs, if the smell was too much for him but it shouldn't have been too fragrant. His own nose was sensitive and contrary to popular opinion, he wasn't interested in smelling like a garden.
Catching his eyes he waited to see if he would ask or back off, instead he, laughed? Then was gone under the water. A surprised laugh bubbled up and he shook his head moving to the edge of the tub and sitting down, letting his legs dangle in the water, letting the heat rise through him.
