Steve washes up - his hands and face, anyway. He wholly forgets that his thighs are exposed and have blood on them, thanks to how... rattled? he is by the water turning on.

He is not a fan and he doesn't believe in coincidences.

He still gets the basin filled, turns the water very firmly off and grabs a towel, couple of wash cloths and a jar of soap before going back to the bed. Where he sets the towels on the bed up by Zerxus' head and then climbs back on top of him with the basin. Similar position as the chair, knees on either side of Zerxus' hips.

Then he puts the thing down, carefully in reach but out of the way of being spilled as long as someone uses some sense here.

"Your water turned on before I got to it," he says, mildly. "It was very helpful."
