He takes advantage of the way Shinjirou is hugging himself to put a little distance between them, beginning to wash his back. Despite the hot water that surrounds them, it's colder without Shinjirou spooned up against his chest, and Jade can feel goosebumps forming at the back of his neck.
"Alright," he says neutrally, not bothering to contradict Shinjirou's assessment of himself. He had already praised him once, earlier that night. If Shinjirou doesn't remember it, or wants to do even better, he's not about to dissuade him.
With Shinjirou's back done, Jade finally turns his attention to his hips, where the worst of the scratches are present. He takes extra care as he soaps up the area, working slowly, and leaving himself open for Shinjirou to slump back against.
"Did you enjoy yourself tonight?" He asks suddenly, not missing a beat in his work.
