You're doing it again. [ Mike points out when he feels Eddie studying his face again but there's a hint of a smile on Mike's lips, like he's getting used to it and doesn't actually mind as much now he knows why Eddie is doing it. It makes sense. When Mike didn't know the reason, it just came across as creepy.
It's a sign Mike hasn't gone through nearly enough trauma to not be immediately reminded of blood when looking at the red water - now he can't get it out of his head after Eddie mentions it. Jesus, what happened to him for his mind to go there? ]
It's just water, okay? [ He gives Eddie a reassuring look before picking up his jumpsuit for him, putting a towel on the edge of the bath for him to wipe his hands with instead when he wants to use his device. He tries shaking some of the red dust off the jumpsuit, but from the way it sticks, it's probably worth washing it. ]
I don't think you should put this on again until it's clean. I've got some spare clothes you can borrow to go back to your house in. They'll probably be a lot bigger than you though. What's your house number?
