How irritating. It seemed he would have to work a little cautiously even while just cleaning himself. It was true that he tended to get in and out of the showers relatively quickly, but he still would have liked it to be as pleasant as possible for that short amount of time. Worrying about getting a wound wet didn't exactly allow for any sense of relaxation.

It may have been thanks to that distraction that he noticed someone take up the shower next to his. Normally, he'd have just blocked everything to the point of honestly not even caring to notice. Not that it changed anything in the long run. He had no initial intention of acknowledging their presence at all. At least, not until they spoke up first.

He glanced over at the other, only moving his eyes at first as he assessed the other for a second. The guy was young-looking. A kid, probably. Someone who only just qualified for adult showers through technicality. Not really anyone worth being wary of. If anything, he had reason to feel wary. Maybe that was why he'd decided to say something. Or maybe it was some high school gym showers courtesy where he was from. There was a sort of awkward attempt at amiability in it. Nothing rude. Probably just something he did without realizing this wasn't exactly the most comfortable setting for a conversation, even if just small talk.

However, as he looked at him, he noticed the kid was just... staring at him. Again, not in a particularly rude way. But for a heartbeat, he stared back, wondering what he was so enamored with. Certainly, Klavier was used to being stared at, but it was usually by women. Or slack-jawed defense attorneys who lacked any sense of an inside voice.

So he tried getting him to stop staring in the same way he usually did: Klavier turned his face to him entirely and spread a bright smile. "Haha. Hello~ Is something the matter~?"
