He was like a dog, he thought to himself. He took a towel and sawed it back and forth across his back, and scrubbed hard at the areas he liked to feel roughed up. Well, almost perfect, he considered himself in the reflection. The image was clear, steam free, perfect. No sense breaking a sweat before he needed it, he mused.
