Byron wasn't about to give Maeve any time to prepare herself.
He had always been a bit of a clean freak, and going two days without
anging clothes was already his limit.
If it weren't for his aversion to being touched by strangers, he wouldn't have asked Maeve to help at all.
"What, do I need to personally invite you?" Seeing her standing there like a statue, Byron urged her coolly. "N-No need," Maeve answered.
Maeve took a deep breath, steeling herself, and went to the bathroom to prepare a basin of warm water. "Mr. Mcdaniel, should I help you take off your shirt?"
Her voice trembled with barely concealed nervousness, but Byron acted like he didn't notice. "Go ahead."

She angrily threw the towel onto his left hand, her face flushed a deep red. "It's already nice of me to help you at all! Can you stop saying weird things and making this awkward?" She thought, 'What on earth is he thinking?"
Byron was momentarily caught off guard by her reaction.
Realizing how she'd interpreted his words, a faint blush crept up behind his dark hair, though he remained outwardly composed.
