Dokja is at least correct about one thing; there's a small bubble of relief that rises and pops at the reassurance that, no, nothing happened as a matter of fact and everything is fine. Could it be a lie? Sure, but he'd like to think that he and Dokja have moved past the stage where they constantly hide things from each other. (Hahahaha.) It might not be enough to chase away his concern entirely, but between the fatigue from having to claw his way out of Alenroux and the overall guilt still weighing heavily on his shoulders at having up and vanished, he lets any further nagging die on his tongue.
The hiss of water hitting the tub adds another layer of distraction, and it's not until his shirt is pulled halfway off that he registers what's wrong with the situation. Namely, that they are now in the bathroom and that there's another person in there with him. ]
