She had just pulled on her nightshift when Potter flew through the window exhausted. After a short circuit of the room, he landed by a basin to drink then abruptly dunked himself into it.

"Hey, watch yourself!" Willmina went over to him as he washed himself in the water. "You are no good drowned to death."

Potter chirped up at her and nuzzled the hand she extended to him. He then splashed around, wetting a good portion of the washstand and hanging towels at its side.

"So, little stud, do you have a mate out there?"

-He does.
Shetanth said with a conspiring tone. She was happy for him nonetheless.

"AHA! So you do, proud papa! I will want to see the Clutch you sired today."

If Potter could comprehend what she was saying he didn't indicate it. Instead, he struggled to escape the steep-sided bowl and got out only when Willmina wrapped him in a plush towel to dry him off well before a chill got to him.
She took him to where he had a bowl of wherry and his bed.
Gulping only a few strips of meat, Potter curled himself up in his bed and went promptly to sleep.

Willmina smiled and sent a thought to her Queen and poured the basin's water down the drain tube.
'MEN.'

(I would think that 'grey water' would be conserved in a desert Weyr like Minerva. Especially since the monsoon season is still a ways off. Hence, the idea of a drain tube that empties this water into a reservoir for the use on plants and such.)
