[After McCoy has left Qingxuan to the shower with explanations on the purpose of each item and how to adjust the water temperature, he takes a hot shower and nearly cries at the feeling of it. It isn't as relaxing as soaking in a hot bath, but it's hot water, something he hasn't used in over six months. He shampoos his hair twice for good measure before using the conditioner, and definitely chokes up a little when he feels how soft his hair is after.
It's nowhere near as silky as it used to be, but it's clean and tangle free, a luxury he hasn't had for a while. A sliver of guilt pierces his heart at the thought and he wipes at his wet eyes, turning off the shower and stepping out.
They're luxuries he doesn't deserve anymore. Begging here might not be possible from what he's learning so far, but that didn't mean he had the right to bask in this either.
When he's done, he's about to change back into his ragged robes when he notices a set of simple but much cleaner robes waiting for him on the counter. He hesitates for only a moment before reaching for them to change into, after which he towel dries his hair so that it doesn't immediately soak his back and steps out of the bathroom feeling cleaner than he has in months.]
Thank you for the shower and the robes! [He bows again before raising his eyes to meet McCoy's again. They're a little more red than before, and a little more sad than before, but his gratitude is sincere.]

Do you know how I can find a place to sleep?
