Not the exercise you thought it was

Iris waited and watched as Sirius walked back and forth, starting a fire, cleaning out the tub, collecting water, feeling useless as she waited. A couple of times she tried to offer her help, reaching for a branch to add to the fire or going to take the bucket from him so she could make a trip, but he wouldn't allow it. She wasn't used to being cared for, something that had become exceedingly obvious since the day before when even just a nice meal felt like he was moving the world for her, but this felt like too much. By the time he was done she didn't really know what to do with herself and she continued to worry that eventually his patience might run out and he might give up on this weak, broken woman all together.
"Oh, um... No, sir, I can do it," she insisted when he offered her help to get into the tub. She hadn't been allowed to help with the set up with this whole contraption the least she could do was get into the bath herself. She carefully pulled herself into the warming water, a bit awkward and struggling in her movements and she ended up slipping slightly right at the end, but she did manage to ungracefully get herself into the bath in the end. The water rose almost to her shoulders and she was immediately surrounded in warmth from the fire that heated the bath. She couldn't help the relieved sigh that escaped her as her eyes closed contently, the warmth seeping into her bones and loosening the matted blood and dirt from her fur.
