Erik disrobes to reveal he is already wearing his full-body striped bathing suit beneath the rest of his clothes. The sleeves of his suit come down to his elbows and the pants reach to his knees. It isn't that he's shy of showing skin, it's that he tends to charge for the privilege of seeing more of it these days. (Or, this is what he will say to anyone to deflect from the fact that anything less covering might reveal those scars on his back.)

"Oh, very much so," Erik murmurs from where he sits across from Edgar. "Now that I know this is here, I really may be content to live the rest of my years on this island or, at least, a great many of them."
