Nicolai's lips curled up again, but he made sure to hide it from Ariana. He walked to the bathing room from where he picked up a clean towel and then brought it back for her to wipe her clothes.
"Thank you," she said to him in a tentative voice.
"Hmm," Nicolai did not say anything as he walked to his bedroom and stripped off the black sweatshirt that he was wearing. He wiped himself clean before walking out of the room and haphazardly threw the clothes in the laundry basket.
"Don't do that," Ariana said to him with a frown. "You should wash your clothes if they get wet in the rain."
Nicolai rolled his eyes. Leave it to her to still worry about wet clothes when he was marching around in front of her, silently screaming that he was sulking.
