There are times that Kija can be oddly perceptive, and there are times he's just as oblivious as always. This time, it's the latter. He doesn't even know that Jae Ha threw him that glance, focusing on getting that towel wrapped neatly around his hips instead (and fumbling on occasion). It's true that the marks on his back are tied to an incident most would call a tragedy. It's true that for most of his childhood, he's been touch-starved for the only parent still alive with him, and such a violent incident actually made the only time they had touched him. Still, despite it all, there was no shame in having it on his back. He willingly showed it to everyone, because with his positive attitude Kija saw no actual tragedy. He understood the feelings of his father, and if anything, the mark only strengthened his conviction.
wow wait theres no actual point to this introspection because kija has no idea they're having a serious thread right now
anyway
Nimbly, Kija dips his toes into the water to test the temperature. He then steps in, the expression on his face softening and his cheeks going pink with bliss. They always tend to do this when he's feeling comfortable and happy (or flustered, or emotional, or embarrassed, or amazed...) ]
This was a good idea, Jae Ha. A bath is indeed the best thing after a spar. [ his nasty ass should probably start scrubbing though. a relaxing soak isn't enough to get all that sweat and mess off of him ]
