That... sounds like a good thing?  If Vanyel was somehow trying to hurt himself right now, he'd be unlikely to stumble on taking a bath as the best solution, even subconsciously.

Thellim is also reminded of something else.  :At some point I'm going to need to do something about washing myself and my clothes.  Could tough it out another day until Haven, if Haven has absolute-advantage at bathing and laundry, but I'd also not want to tough it out if there's no reason to.  Getting caught in the rain probably helped, but it doesn't seem like quite a sufficient solution.:

(to Yfandes)  :Good to hear.  If Vanyel's basically functioning then I won't ask you for his info, it's his info now, but it sounds like he IS functioning to the point where he could take possession of his own info and that sounds like a good thing.:

(to Lissa)  :Speaking of baths, at some point I'm going to need to do something about washing myself and my clothes.  Could tough it out another day until Haven, if Haven has absolute-advantage at bathing and laundry, but I'd also not want to tough it out if there's no reason to?  Getting caught in the rain probably helped, but it doesn't seem like quite a sufficient solution.:
