"I feel certain you are." Robin's eyes followed the lines of her slender body admiringly as he grew ever more conscious of his own disheveled state. Normally he would not care, had not cared before, but this woman made him feel the weight of everything he had never learned.
Robin's chin went up in answer to a self-issued challenge. Yeoman he may be, but he was no bumpkin. "Will you wait here, then? I shall be only a moment."
The moment he was out of her sight he sprinted to his room, taking care to put Chance's bow away carefully even in his haste. He grabbed a clean shirt and trewes, mentally thanking the house-elves, and ran to the bathroom. Robin divested himself of his clothing, leapt into the shower (taking care not to wet his hair much - no time to let it dry), scrubbed himself with soap, rinsed like a madman and toweled off hastily. He shoved his legs into clean trewes and leather breeches and left the bathroom only minutes after he had entered it, tugging the shirt over his head as he jogged barefoot down the hall.
When he re-entered the Common Room he had just finished tucking in his shirt. Robin leaned against the nearest table and hastily pulled on his boots, then spread his hands, smiling. "Forgive me - I did not wish for you to smell smoke and raw wood throughout our walk. Have I kept you too long?"
