At last, he stops moving -- shuddering when Jade uses him as nothing more than a towel. He doesn't understand. Jade could have told him not to come and he would have accepted the order. But Jade has even helped him come, only to treat him like this afterwards.
Slowly he sits up, hugging himself. "Yes." He wants to take a shower right now, he doesn't want to clean the floor, and he doesn't understand why it needs to be this way around. But he doesn't question it. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe it means he's learning. He can accept what Jade asks of him. In the end, what Shinjirou wants is to follow. What he knows very well is, after all, that his own decisions are rarely good.
"Thank you." His movements are sluggish, but he pushes himself up to his feet successfully. Gravity drags Irvin's seed down his legs, a very strong reminder of what has recently happened here. He'll need to ignore that in favor of cleaning up and it seems like a good idea to get to work right away.
