Rugs and throws and pillows abound and work to soften everything, hopefully more inviting than the ominous exterior, but it's the water that they're after and Simon guides Yoon and Kija directly towards it.
Dressed for the beach as he already is, Simon sees no reason not to step into the water first, his feet finding the built in stairs in order to help Yoon in next.
If there's to be any ceremony...this feels like it ought to be it, Simon suddenly thinking back to those ancient rituals or baptism, welcoming the new follower into the fold by dipping them into the water. The comparison doesn't sit quite right with Simon, but if it works to cleanse the blight then Simon will deal with his own small discomfort.]
