Ellery stopped to take a break from scrubbing and wringing out the heavy sheets, leaning against the edge of the large stone vessel. He let out a tired puff, rubbing his aching elbows.

No need to cause drama over a few dirty sheets and dresses. He looked up as he heard the sound of approaching footsteps, gazing curiously at the one who had just entered.
