[Things are different here, Syaoran and Mokona aren't around to keep the mage company even if they're all just sitting around in silence. His own errands could have waited but they both know just how well the ninja can see right through the mage's facades. Having that one person just on the other side of the door while he tries to deal with his emotions is not always the best idea. It gives him at least a little bit of time alone because chances are they'll be sticking close most of the time.
When Fai exits the bathroom, Kurogane turns to look the mage over. Not looking for any traces of blood but at the overall emotional state of the other man. Evidence of crying, a hint of a real expression even though it's not a happy one. All-in-all, Fai's looked worse.
He's looked better too. Real smiles that came after the events of Celes and not looking as though he's lost nearly everything he ever cared about in one fell swoop.
Kurogane crosses the room and presses his cup of tea into Fai's hands, not giving the other man much choice but to take it or spill it on himself. Then reaches for a towel and drops it over the mage's head, using it to help dry some of that damp hair with gentle hands.]
It's not a guess - I remember. We've gotten new clothes in nearly every world we've been to.
