He nodded and walked out of the room without a word.

Would it be possible...
Richard pulled off his coat and set it aside, then lowered himself otherwise fully dressed into the tub and let himself slide under the water, taking exaggerated care to inhale as he did so.
He could feel the water filling his lungs, but the panicked, choked feeling didn't come. This was mildly annoying.
Richard opened his eyes underwater. He knew he should be drowning, but instead he was simply sitting there, fully clothed, in the bath.
"Oh, fuck this," he groaned, only getting even more annoyed when not even a bubble escaped, indicating that there actually was no air left in him. He crossed his arms petulantly and looked up toward the surface of the water, hoping in vain to see something very bony and cowled leaning over him.
Nothing showed up.

Sweeney knocked on the door. "Have you moved in there since I left you?" he called, a little annoyed.

"If you'll excuse me, " Richard called from under the water, "I'm trying to die!"

He cocked an eyebrow. "And what, pray, are you doing?" he asked.

"I was always told drowning was easier than this..."

He blinked. It didn't sound like Richard was drowning. "Well, I'm not trying to help you commit suicide or anything, but I think your head needs to be under the water for that to work."

"IT IS!" Richard snapped.

Forgetting the fact that Richard was in the bath, he opened the door to see a black head of hair floating on top of the water. He stared for a long time, saying nothing.

"This is dreadfully irritating," said Richard.

"I don't KNOW."

He looked Richard over. "Come out from under the water," he finally said.

Richard emerged, looking annoyed.

"Did anything... happen to you so that you couldn't drown?"
