He took his time in the shower, first relieving his physical discomfort before just cleaning up his body and preparing himself for everything that was going on. It was tempting to let his emotions do the talking for him, to tell her that he didn't want to go, that he wanted to stay here and spend every morning as they just had and that she was amazing and precious to him but he knew that would only make it harder for the both of them. One hand rested against the wall of the shower as he dropped his head beneath the streams of water, letting it run over the back of his head and down his broad shoulders. Swallowing hard, he started planning out what he was going to say to her and how he was going to handle the situation, how he was going to psych himself up for the mission and then center himself so he was focused only at the task at hand and not the girl he had left at home. It took him awhile to get used to that thought, he had never left a girl at home before, had never gotten attached to anyone before and it was damn scary. He wasn't worried that he wouldn't come back to her, instead he was damn worried that he wouldn't be there to protect her and keep her safe. He was going to have a firm talk with Skeeter about his responsibility he was taking on in caring for Reese and he trusted his friend with his life but that didn't take his worry away. The hand that had been splayed out on the tile tightened into a fist - damn it - he had to get his emotions under control before he left this apartment, he didn't have time to waste lamenting over things that couldn't be changed. After a few more long breaths, he felt a little better prepared and got out of the shower and dressed in a pair of cargo camo khaki's and a tight olive green long sleeved thermal. His camo bandana went around his head and after shaving a bit he stepped out, nodding towards the bathroom. "It's all yours." He moved past her, into the hallway to go get breakfast going - his stuff was all set to go.
