It isn't long before Septimus returns, and instead of a rather non-descript tunic he looks rather more comfortable in red and blue, and his face and hands are clean again. (He would have preferred to clean up more, but water is too limited a resource right now.)

Still, either way, he looks undeniably a little more invigorated and more relaxed. "There. Barring emergency, I should have some time. I'm sorry, I don't believe I know your name."
