The narrator's use of the phrase "almost blindly" shows that Travis knows exactly where his towels and clothes are because he does this so frequently. We don't know Travis's opinions about sharing the bathroom or getting up in the morning. The narrator describes Travis as sturdy and handsome, but we don't know if they came from his mother or father.
