He doesn't need it, but he takes it all the same, Phillip one of the few people allowed to see him like this, to offer this kind of comfort and have it accepted so easily. From someone else, he's able to graciously accept what's needed, and mostly knows the difference between needed and merely wanted. Mostly. But with Phillip, there's no hesitation to lean his weight into him, all but let him carry him to the bathroom.

If left to his own devices, he'll run a bath and put some relaxing oils into it, the tub here a little spartan and small but big enough to at least somewhat soak (and to somewhat disguise the fact that he's not really sure that he's able to stand up through a shower) but if Phillip takes the lead on that, he'll just slump against the wall instead while he works, perfectly happy to turn even that over the the other man.
