[ Angel Devil. ] [ chatcube, or action. ] [ if you're visiting the rose barn, look for the door with the creepy bat-and-angel-wing sigil on it. Knock first! Or get zapped. ]
Nothing like hot water to really make one feel like a person. Ahhh~~! At Rose, I'm still having to fold up like a pretzel to fit in our tub. We have plans, just... you know.
Unless I've forgotten an entire theatrical production in my missing time, the days truly... [ flicks water. ]March, unrelenting, around here.
Haven't put on your play yet. Haven't forgotten that.
Really is a lot that happens in a few days here. Always rituals, always small disasters. Is... nice, when a plan gets to be accomplished or when can find a quiet moment to relax.
[ it's easy to "remove" the basket from the air, the glow fading. Angel Devil takes the opportunity to take a breath and dive fully underneath the water, counting to ten, fifteen seconds...
[ he rearranges, and tucks any hair that's ended up in front of his shoulders toward the back. the feathers more subtly hidden in the layers of his hair stand out a lot more, when it's slicked down like this. ]
[thanks to a certain distracting Rose, muffin has forgotten why you shouldn't use shampoo in hot tubs, but that's a problem for future muffin to clean up.
right now, there's a difference in how he washes angel devil's hair now than when he washed redsoul's. more than just longer hair and feathers needing more attention, he's taking his time deliberately, happy to dote and preen and spoil]
[ there's a different, tinier sigh, once muffin's really gotten into the swing of it. a little hummm... that can barely be heard, perhaps done more for the sake of itself than for the one who's around to hear it.
it's always a little strange, before it starts to be soothing. but when it's actually soothing...
he doesn't make any other noises. doesn't pull any provocative poses or make any suggestive murmurs, as Angel Devil for-real 100% relaxes into the almost hypnotic feeling of his touch. he is, in fact, taking this moment to actually Brain Off, Only Nice Preening Now. it's not at all a stillness of someone frozen in trepidation, that's for sure. ]
[muffin sings quietly to himself as he works, sometimes humming, sometimes chirping. there's a few pieces of familiarity, like a music box tune or a birdsong from out in the pasture, but it's mostly peaceful aimless meandering.
every feather gets its share of preening, his hair is rinsed with handfuls of water poured carefully not to splash or get in his eyes, and eventually muffin has to admit he's made angel devil's hair as clean and tidy as he can possibly get it today.
he chirps a little louder and taps angel devil on the shoulder, all done.]

No circles here!
no subject
Angel Devil's tail rises up out of the water, to briefly encircle -- without touching, mind! -- one of those hands. ]
Indeed. You check out.
no subject
Wouldn't dare otherwise.
Angie doesn't know you shouldn't use shampoo in a hot tub ...
eventually, he does start poking around to see if there are any nearby bottles, meaning to wash his hair since they're here and all-- ]
Where's yours? I've met Tart. That's the only one I'm getting away with availing myself of scott-free.
[ actually he just wants to leave here scented like muffin's shampoo but shhhhhhhhh ]
no subject
[he's got a small basket of things on a shelf nearer to the shower and the other bath. PERKS UP,]
Want me to wash your hair again?
no subject
Retracing steps hasn't steered me wrong so far. And I already know you have talented hands.
[ the basket indicated gets a purplish glow around the edges, and floats right over. ]

[reaches out to take the basket out of the air. floating! cool!!]

Before he resurfaces, closer by. ]

muffin also likes the idea of angel devil going home smelling like him.]
Ready now?

Will need you to turn around to wash hair.
