[A janitor closet with a drainage grate in the floor and hoses connected to the sink is a reasonable bet. Julien takes off his clothes without hesitating - they're more a sop to the idea that he should have clothes than anything else, things tied around his neck and waist and each foot. Then he can start wetting himself down, transferring the longest hose from the remaining fingers on either wing to feathers to a foot freely as he twists here and there, opening a wing as much as he can in the limited space to get it and under it, beaking at his feathers. The water runs cloudy for a while. He has a tremendous amount of surface area for seawater and things in it to stick to. Small feathers pull free and float away fairly regularly, which is unusual.]
