I was once used to this kind of thing.

[ All of it, really. Freezing outdoors, being mistreated and humiliated... It's all familiar. Having a parrot pour wine over him to raise public morale (??) is conceptually hilarious and McGillis resents that it hits him on a level that is any deeper than annoyance, but he can't quite escape it.

He washes himself off carefully and slowly, stalling for time before he has to go back outside. Though maybe he should wait until his hair dries from being washed out anyway, lest he risk it freezing. ]


This is a good wake-up call for how sensitive I have become.
