>You grab the bucket and prepare it, setting the cleaning supplies on the ground, and slide into it. On one hand, it's a metal bucket, which doesn't feel quite as good a proper wooden one. It's hard, but doesn't have quite as much density to it. It's also a bit cold, but you'll warm it up fast enough. On the other hand, it feels practically like slipping into that hot spring at Eientei once more. You can't remember the last time you voluntarily separated yourself from one for so long. As you fold your legs and settle into it, you can feel a knot in your stomach comfortably dissolve away and release a sigh you didn't know you were holding.
>As you clean the bucket and slide into it, Ruukoto tends to the guards, dragging them inside and disarming them.
