Krem shoved down hard on the lingering desire to touch and just gave Cole's shoulder a squeeze. He would retreat before his wants got too loud. They were both clean by now, and they both had the day to themselves to do with what they pleased. So Krem wanted to be able to relax, take advantage of the peace of this quiet space, the white noise of the waterfall outside of the undercroft providing quiet background susurrus.

Tossing the washcloth back to the edge of the pool, Krem went to find that natural little bench again and settle onto it, sinking down into the water up to his neck and leaning his head back against the stones.

"Thank you for showing me this. It'll be good to come down here for the quiet."
