Yeah, little bit.

We were um, sitting by the fountain. Like this.

[chitters and coaxes to get Angel Devil sitting on the edge of the bath with him in that figure-8]

From:

finalbows

_{[ lets his tail sink into the water behind them as they sit...

He leans in with more cuddly ease than he had, the night it really happened. He finds himself looking up toward the ceiling, and...

Two round glowing lights show up, near the ceiling. Angel Devil didn't so much as lift a finger in the casting; he's too busy making that all-important 8 shape!! ]}

Were the moons... there? Or...

_{[ they drift along a bit to the left. ]

here...? No... that's still not quite... I still can't remember...}

[whistles, oh wow! muffin's soon outright cuddling instead of just repeating the pose, leaning against angel devil's shoulder and cheeping at the moons as they move]

Um... maybe there? Or higher, was getting late. I don't remember that part exactly either.

Heheh. Then let's put them... here.

_{[ sometimes, you have to make compromises. ]}

...
I remember what it looks like around the fountain, of course. Ah...

That... might be about it.

From:

electricflock

It feels right.

[with the moons placed, muffin sends a spark through the bathroom’s lights to dim them down. a little more nighttime now!]

From:

finalbows

Ah-hah, that's more like it.

From:

electricflock

[chitters]

One difference still: we didn’t swim in fountain.

Want your bath now?

From:

finalbows

_{[ he was in fact just weighing the pros and cons of simply leaning back and falling right in there while still holding onto Muffin, but. no thorns, just yet, he thinks. it's about the balance. ]}

It's now or never! ...I did leave the rest of Rose on a bit of a sudden note. They'll keep. But I might wanna be just a tiny bit timely with my relaxation.

From:

electricflock

Did also have, um, half of Daffodil see us come in here. But might chalk time up to luxuriating.

[gives angel devil’s arm a squeeze, then untangles to stand up]

From:

finalbows

Ohh, nooo, scaaandaloussss☆.

_{[ slips off into the water ♡ ]}

From:

electricflock

[laughs, repeating the “ohh nooo” with a birdy sliding whistle, and steps around to turn the water off and start the hot tub jets. still chittering,]

Mind if I join you?

From:

finalbows

_{[ ?!

holy shit he's lived in three separate worlds before this one and never experienced TUB WITH JETS

PERKS!!! ]}

From:

finalbows

_{[ splish splash. makes room. ]}

Be my guest! Or... should I say... Let me be yours?

From:

electricflock

Both are yes, so!

[muffin's not even going to TRY matching angel devil's level of performance, he's just dropping his robe and climbing in]

From:

finalbows

_{[ ngl, angie is not planning on abandoning the jet he settled by any time soon. this is truly a game changer. once Muffin's in and it's easier to navigate around each other, he truly unspools, stretching out his long legs and sinking down low enough there's water lapping at his collar.

Feeling better?

From:

finalbows

Immeasurably.

From:

electricflock

[rumbles a loud purr]

See? Luxuriating.

From:

finalbows

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.

From:

finalbows

_{[ even the worst days are better than the gods' war, he thinks. but that thorny thought he sends away, as if it were but a vine he was commanding. ]}

Two things are certain in this world--
