David ran the cool water over the wounds, the temperature more to help slow the bleeding than to be unpleasant, but he'd still enjoy watching Marcel squirm. The water tinted red as it spiraled down the drain, and before long the blood was gone, replaced only by what little still flowed. He pulled a bottle of alcohol from the counter, pouring it over Marcel's back to clean out the wounds without warning. The stuff would sting of course, but he figured Marcel would expect it. Infections weren't pleasant to deal with, and the last thing he wanted was for Marcel to be getting sick. "I managed to get three days leave to come get you, but I've got to go back to work." He said as he rinsed off the stinging liquid before shutting the water off. He pulled the large fluffy white towel from the hanger and carefully dried first Marcel's back, and then the rest of him. "What am I going to do with you then?" He asked as he tightened the towel around Marcel's waist so it would stay. "Out of the tub." He said, gesturing to the mat where he wanted his pet to stand, a jar of ointment in hand. He slid the thick substance over the wounds, his motions not exactly gentle, but exact and careful. "Better?" He asked, turning Marcel so they were facing each other again as he pulled a roll of bandaging from the drawer. "You aren't getting off easy tonight, if you want to eat, you're making dinner, and there are chores still to be done before bed." He said sharply, as if to negate the question of Marcel's comfort.
