[ With the water murky from their combined filth, Shouto fails to see the traces of blood in it before draining it, if it wasn't already empty from Allen's earlier attempt on his life. ]
Next time, you try to kill me. I'll know.
[ He says it casually as if it was common sense. He's not offended by it. There's no sense of betrayal. It's simply fact. Like when his brother tries to kill him. Or when his father beat him during training sessions. Or when his mother poured scalding hot water on him before his skin had gained its resistance to extreme heat. It makes perfect sense that the people he cares the most about have all harmed him one way or another. Allen isn't the exception, he's more of the same norm.
Once the water is gone, he sets himself to the task of cleaning up the tub by pouring more water in and draining it repeatedly until the dirt is gone. When the water at the bottom is clear, he deems it serviceable. ]
Take off your clothes.
[ He'll go in without them this time, since he's not good at cleaning them while they're on him. A waste of effort, but he can work with what he's given. He'll clean them himself after they're done cleaning themselves up. With soap this time. ]
