[ Given that Urianger has been here for less than a day, the relief he must feel to see any familiar face is quite understandable. That being said, it's still endearing how he aims to rise out of the water to issue a proper greeting, only to remember that he is in the altogether. Not that Thancred has any particular issue with being naked around others, but he knows that he and his fellow Scion are on opposite ends of that spectrum.

He doesn't hide his amused smile, however, as he gives a small shake of his head. Not that he should expect much different from a man who'd hidden under a hooded set of robes for so long.

While he suspects that Urianger has last seen him only recently, for Thancred it has been half a year. Which is nothing like the multiple years he'd spent in Norvrandt before the other Scions had trickled in, but it is nice to see such a good friend here. How many times has he wished for Urianger's presence, when it comes to researching magick and the like? Better not let on to that.

Thancred is kind enough to half turn away as he unwraps the towel, sets it down, and then steps into the warm bath. A small sigh escapes him as he settles down and he shuts his eyes for a moment — though when he opens them to see Urianger clear on the other side of the baths, awkwardly covering himself, he doesn't hold back a laugh. ]

I don't bite, you know. And here I thought you'd be relieved to see a good friend. [ Urianger has already said as much, but Thancred can't help the tease. ] I've been here for some six moons now. Even if time passes here, it does not pass on Etheirys. Himeka and I have sorted out that much.

[ Yes, she is also here, if not exactly here. There is much to explain, but at least they can be somewhere comfortable whilst he does so. Comfortable for him, in any case. ]
