[It makes sense, really, but that doesn't mean Ling is about to accept it. There's still dirt in the spring, if only at the bottom, and he refuses to admit that whatever came off of himself is worse than that.]
Filtering through another kind of dirt doesn't make it any less dirty.
[Huff, huff. He'll never back down, all logic to the contrary. Sorry.
Having washed his hair, Ling has no qualms about letting it hang down in the water. There's a lot of it, and it's everywhere, making him look vaguely like a hairy octopus. At least the spring is big enough that contact can still be avoided.]
