She would take far more if she thought he might let her. It was clear as sunlight to her that he was capable of handling this war, that he was in fact capable of things most other people could never be, but the pressure he was under was just too much. Maybe with time he could feel better with sharing more of it. She couldn't pretend to know how to sooth his personal suffering but that wasn't the only way to help someone help themselves.
Right now getting this much out of him was a victory so even if he couldn't smile with his eyes she did, and brightly enough for them both.
"Ahh," She leaned up as much as she could to kiss his jaw, "But what if you get a surprise for answering five?" Not that there was any guarantee ... But something could be worked out! The first few steps were taken backwards, but before she turned around she flashed him that same smile, and took his hand loosely. To the tub!! Except once there she deliberately got in before him, making sure to press her back against one end, her hair hanging over the edge because it wasn't worth getting it wet. If he thought he was getting away from an embrace here Roland was well and truly insane.
