Don't wantcha to wanna...

[Cocks her head; Avante's bathroom is inferior, but Nem won't stop her, and she'll lead her safely through the receiving room to her bedroom]

Well. Too bad. That's romance, baby.

[ delivered flat, but smiles anyway. clean time pls clean time... once they're in the actual bathroom she'll start very gingerly removing her clothes.

or, start to anyway, before freezing at the sight of her hand patchy with golden smears. ]

... ?

[Hesitates, going to gather a towel]

Uh...yeah...that happened. You sure it don't hurt?

Uh-- no... is it from you?

[ scrubs at her hand, but it neither spreads nor rubs off. ]

I mean, when I touched your face, that’s what happened... Might need some special soap...?

[washing her own hands, surely there’s something heavy duty with as many wounds avante sees on average days]

It doesn't hurt or feel weird or nothin'...

[ ... well, getting undressed the rest of the way, then. ]

You sure?

[Nem's hands were indeed grimy but nothing gold seems to be involved?? Well anyway she'll get the tub going, keeping an eye on Req all the while.

...Looking for other weird bruises and stuff, not just 'cause girl hot (though also)]

Yea, m'sure.

[ bruises, sure, there's plenty, but they're all normal. All the scratches seem to be concentrated around where she had skin showing; head, face, arms, hands, wings, now more or less having stopped bleeding entirely.

there's no smears of non-bruise color under her clothes, at least.

she comes over to the tub, though, still considering those gold patches. ] ]

[A little anxious, still, but only carefully peels off her tattered outfit, dumping it into the hamper instead of the trash for some reason. There's still faint bruising over her ribs and her back is all scabs and scrapes, and a dark film flaking from the places that hadn't been covered in clothes. there's a thick seam just left of the center of her chest. But everything seems old--healed enough, if not cleaned, so]

Well... I'm gonna rinse off first; I'm too gross for the tub. You mind?

No, it's fine.

[ that's immediately noticeable and eye-catching enough though that she pauses, and reaches out, to run her fingers over that seam, frowning. ]

Hey, what...

[her breath hitches at the contact, just enough to cause a coughing fit. she turns away, towards the shower, since otherwise would be gross, and the seam is apparent there, too, just a little shorter. if Req were to look closely enough, she might notice that it isn't just a scar--rather than a ridge of freshly knitted skin, it's a crevice, shiny scar tissue disappearing into the hole from both sides]

What--?

[ ... no, touching the back of her shoulder with a worried look. ]

You got some new junk too, huh?

[Looks down, only now noticing what Req's looking at; grimaces]

...Guess it didn't heal that neat. Dragon kicked my ass.

[ gently slides her hand down again to brush her fingers over the portion of it on her back. ]

... geez. Kitty, I'm sorry-- if I was there maybe I could have...

[Shivers again; there's a definite divot where the two sides meet, and it is apparently sensitive]

N-nah, it's fine. --We all got pretty trashed. Better you missed out on that part.

Does it hurt?

'S just a little tender. You don't gotta worry. Pretty sure it can take some hot water.

Edited 2020-08-01 03:50 (UTC)

We can just do warm anyway.

... we can prolly get-- one of 'em to heal it up proper-like. Don't need two of us with open holes in her body.

...You sayin' only one of us got a good enough sound to look like an instrument?

[She is probably leaning into the hoarse croak of her voice a bit, but still]

Right now? Absolutely.

[ leans in to kiss her hair, despite any grossness. ]

... c'mon, let's clean up.

[oh no

Leans in as well to press a kiss to Req's sternum, cheeks hot against Req's skin]

[ ...? amused though, curling an arm around her shoulder. ]

Could wait 'til we get clean before we get all into that, y'know.

Uh-- I didn't mean...

[Turns away, flushed dark; only showers now]

Didn't mean?

[ lets her go, but sits on the edge of the tub to patiently wait; she'd help, if she weren't still gross herself, so maybe separate cleaning is best for now...

she's got no qualms about watching tho. ]

Not everything's about bein' turned on...

[with that, she hops into the shower, tipping her head forward to start rinsing out the grossness. she takes a moment to just enjoy the spray against tired muscles before just scrubbing away]
