"Well, it's just that the ends are terribly distressed... I may need to trim it."

Herbert stared at him for a long moment.

"How much of it?" he said slowly.

"Oh, no more than an inch or two," *he said hurriedly.*

"Oh, very well," he sighed.

*He was surprised for a moment, that Herbert hadn't argued, but he realized that the poor likely had no more energy to do so.*
"Just a moment," *he said, and went to rummage in the drawer for a pair of scissors.*

Herbert stared at the filthy water and made a face.

*He returned with a pair of scissors and a towel manifested out of nowhere.*
"Out you get- that water's disgusting. Can you stand?"

"I don't know."
He frowned.
"And I'll still be covered in it..."

*Aziraphale felt a little bad for using so many small miracles in one day- and someone was sure to notice- but he felt that it was a fair trade for being unable to heal Herbert right out. The bath now had a modern shower-head attached.*
"Not for long. Come on."
*He let the water begin draining and went to help Herbert stand again.*

Herbert was now leaning heavily on Aziraphale again. He knew he was getting the angel soaking wet, but he almost didn't care.

*Resigned to getting completely soaked, Aziraphale at least had the sense to ethereally remove his shoes before turning on the water again. Maybe this would at least get some of the blood out of his shirt... He let the water run long enough to rinse away any of the remaining mixture of dirt and blood.*

"What's going to happen to me after this?" Herbert said softly.

*Aziraphale helped him out of the bath with a sigh.*
"You get better," *he replied after a moment.*
