[ Reiner smiles as he reads that. The smile is as small as ever, but it's sincere. ]

Oh yeah? What scent did you pick?

[neighsaying]

I have two. One smells like sandalwood, the other one smells citrusy - it's lemon, apparently.

I alternate, since I can.

[ Sandalwood is only notable because Jean's mom used to send him sandalwood satchets, to keep with his clothes, so that he always smelled faintly like it at the start of the day. ]

[nohero]

That sounds nice. It keeps things fresh.

[ Maybe Reiner should look into scented soap. He still hasn't adjusted to smelling different without his Titan. It's weird to be so aware of his own scent. He doesn't enjoy it. ]

You're settling in pretty well, huh? You got a job at a bathhouse, right?

[ Potentially revealing that while he may not have commented, Reiner did see Jean's SLEEPR profile and a few responses. Given the picture Jean used, Reiner's curiosity was understandable—or so he thinks. ]

[ Wait until he learns about shampoo. Then nobody in Jean's house is safe. ]

It's fun. We got a mint one for Eren and Mikasa has lavender. And yeah, I figured I should get a job sooner rather than later. The bathhouse has been pretty nice, for the most part. You should stop by and get the whole experience sometime.

[nohero]

[ Mint for Eren. Lavender for Mikasa.

Reiner is happy for them. Truly, he is. ]

Maybe I will. [ But he has to ask: ] Bathing there doesn't have any weird side effects like at the hot springs, does it?

[neighsaying]

[ Jean laughs, even if it's a very valid question. ]

No, nothing like the hot springs that just opened up. It's a normal bathhouse - one side for guys, one side for girls, mixed spot in the middle. The owners told me the water's good for your hair and skin.

[ Once upon a time, Reiner would have preened at the idea of bathing in something good for his hair and skin. He'd flash a grin, flex a little, and make Bertholdt roll his eyes.

Now, Reiner is only thinking about how nice such a soak might feel. ]

All right. I'll check it out.

[neighsaying]

[ It's part of the spiel he's memorized for when people ask about the bathhouse while he's there. Thankfully, he didn't give the full sell to Reiner, nor did he need to whip out his 'nice' voice. ]

I'll be on the lookout. Don't disappoint me!

[ He also notes down when his next couple shifts are, so Reiner can stop by when he's there too. ]
