Oh, right, keeping that part private makes a ton of sense.

But don't worry, it's all done now!

[ time to draw a bath-- something he's totally good at doing on his own now!! ]

[Gonna start stripping her clothes off again—I mean, they were only on so they could get to the bathroom anyway.]

At least we got a huge tub. It'll make getting clean waaaay easier.

Yeah!

[ once the water is running-- he's learned to check back to make sure the water isn't too hot or cold.

But after that, he also peels off what clothes he has on, before pulling her close to him. ]

[pressing herself against him and leaning up to get a kiss]

This is pretty nice, though.

[ leans in to kiss against her shoulder ]

Yeah... I like not being alone. But like this, we could just enjoy the water!!

I like not being alone, too.

[tilting her head and brushing some of her hair out of the way...]

It'd be impossible not to with you there.

[ oh thank you, he will drag his fingertips across that spot, leaving wet trails from damp hands. ]

Wanna hop in?

Of course! If we wait too long, it's gonna get cold.

[So, she'll pull away from him, though she does take his hand and tug him towards the tub, and climbs in]

And there's nothing worse than a cold bath.

That's true.

[ BUT HE RUNS HIS BATHS HOT.

it's fine, it's like a hot spring! ]

[jesus christ my guy this is a lot, there's! surprise! but after a moment she is just going to sink into the water and deal with it because it's just like a hot spring]

You really are a lizard.

A lizard...??

Because you like hot stuff?? Get in here, don't leave all the extra hot water to me.

Well, lizards are cold blooded...

[ he climbs in next to her, and he could talk at least a little about how that makes them like hot things... ]

And you're always so cold! So. Are you actually cold-blooded, or just cold?

[leeeaning against him, though.]

Just cold!! It's so cold here, don't you think??

The weather fluctuates so much...!! Back at NRC, Scarabia even feels like home. So, just wearing something extra warm makes it bearable 'til we get back to the dorm...

No way, this feels... it's not the same as back home, but it feels close to it.

We'll have to find ways to keep you warm, though. I've heard body heat is pretty good for that~

Ahahaha! That's true...!!

[ he wraps his arms around her waist and leans his head against hers-- sneaking a kiss. ]

I guess I'm just not used to it, but I'll cling to you instead, when I'm cold.

I'll gladly do what I have to to keep my Kalim warm. There's no way you're gonna freeze this winter.

[resting her hands on top of his, nuzzling into him... and just relaxing.]

[ this is definitely the preferable way to get clean, right?? though he does wish it were easier to keep the water warm... this is where he needs more of his magic, honestly. ]

Thank you, my moon and stars.

You're welcome, my—

[there's an awkward pause, and the words don't feel as comfortable on her tongue as they probably would on kalim's, but:]

My sun.

[ but he seems happy with them anyway? ]

Oh, you're trying too!!

It still feels a little weird to say, but...

[presses herself closer to him]

It feels right.
