He knows Ravus is right but doesn't want to say it out loud - his lover has a big enough ego as it is (all thought with love, he swears).
The hot water is a balm to Gladio's very soul and he groans as the stream hits his aching body. Though his ears register when Ravus enters the shower, he says nothing until Ravus starts slowly cleaning his arm.
"Mmm...feels great Rae." Yes, the nickname slips out. "Been frustrated forever, what's another hour?"
His chuckle is more breathless than husky, but it is genuine. Gladio is all to happy to simply stand under the falling water as Ravus continues to clean him. He closes his eyes and sighs into the sensations of getting clean, of muscles relaxing, of Ravus' living presence behind him.
"S'more than filth." He pauses, trying to shake the clinging memory of ichor and scourge oozing out of the Ravus on Eos and how that ichor felt when it landed on his skin. Despite the heat of the shower and the comfort of Ravus' hand working his skin, Gladio shivers.
He leans a bit more against Ravus. "Gods I missed you. Even though I couldn't remember this place ... I felt somethin' missing. And when I woke up here it all crashed over me - ten years away from you... and of seeing you last as..." Gladio can't finish the statement. So he says something better, something he'll never get tired of saying.
