in the same breath

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'together?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sharing soapy water on getting into it' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'water' could be 'ea' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ea' is found within the answer.
'into' could be 'in' and 'in' is found within the answer.
'it' could be 'sa' (old-fashioned abbreviation for sex appeal) and 'sa' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in the same breath that I've seen before include "with a single blow?" , "needing no further inspiration?" , "Together" , "Without breaking off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
