<sub>[ 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.

long happy sigh ]</sub>

[electricflock]

Feeling better?

[finalbows]

Immeasurably.

[electricflock]

[rumbles a loud purr]

See? Luxuriating.

[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.

[electricflock]

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.

1/2

[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--

2/2

[finalbows]

De-- Demons and taxes!

...
Actually, not even the taxes, huh?

[electricflock]

[laughs]

So it's demons and also demons.

[finalbows]

Better add a third "demons" just to be safe.

[electricflock]

Demony demonic demons.

[finalbows]

Now you're halfway to a summoning chant. We better not make any closed figures, in here.

[electricflock]

Oh yeah, and Doki Doki's even back, too.

[holds his hands up out of the water]

No circles here!

[finalbows]

<sub>[ "who's doki doki" he doesn't ask, because who cares about whoever THAT is!!!!

Angel Devil's tail rises up out of the water, to briefly encircle -- without touching, mind! -- one of those hands. ]</sub>

Indeed. You check out.

[electricflock]

[an hour ago he might not have blushed at that, but this is a post-strip tease world now]

Wouldn't dare otherwise.

Angie doesn't know you shouldn't use shampoo in a hot tub ...

[finalbows]

<sub>[ no takebacksiesss ♡

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-- ]</sub>

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 ]}

[electricflock]

My... what? My soap? Is over there.

[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?

[finalbows]

_{[ "again!!!" so that's absolutely what happened amid those tiny snippets of memory he has of this room ]}

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. ]}

[electricflock]

Will give you my best preening work yet!

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

[finalbows]

Almost ready.

<sub>[ 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...

Before he resurfaces, closer by. ]</sub>

[electricflock]

[meets him with a quick peck when he surfaces 'V'

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

Ready now?

[finalbows]

_{[ ✨️✨️✨️ yesssss. met with gusto. ]}

Mmhm!

[electricflock]

[MAYBE a little more than a peck and MAYBE a little longer than quick…~

leans away, but purring noisily]

Will need you to turn around to wash hair.

[finalbows]

Fiiine, fine~.

_{[ 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. ]}

[electricflock]

Will be worth it.

[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]
