Re: Svarik and the company II

[VisAnastasis]

" The servants are in charge of that. Payed handsomely for it too, if I may say so. You don't have to wash your clothes anymore. " Tide told him while continuing making the aromatic bath. " There's a washing room in the ground floor. Just leave them to servant girl Marissa, she's the daughter of the servant assigned to clean library every once in a while, and tell her your room - she'll make sure to bring your clothes, clean and fresh, to your shelf, once they are dry and ready. If you're too nervous to do it alone on your first time, I can go with you to do it later, or I can do bring them downstairs in your stead so you don't have to bother, would that feel better? "

[Mirach]

"Are you sure that staying here was msant as a punishment?" Senecio asked. "Becauss it seems to me like an upgrade in pretty much everything... I would appreciate of you could go with me and show me where and to whom I should speak."

[VisAnastasis]

" I'd be happiest if we go do that after you go to sleep and wake up - it would be needless strain to force so when you're tired. Just leave clothes at a side by the mirror, and I'll pick them up in a bag later, so we can carry them to washing room after your waking. " critter noted with tender smile. " And who knows... Whether they meant is as punishment, or who knows what else... I came before a decision made, when bidding for your life. I am not concerned of their plans, only plan of my own - to turn that punishment into a blessing for you, sweet prince. "

[Mirach]

"You must be the best thing that happened to me in my life," Senecio said. 

[VisAnastasis]

It felt almost for a second as if the temperature of the room raised for few degrees and back, as creature grasped on the edge of the bathtub, so strongly tile cracked a bit, seeming rather flustered before magnitude of such words. He turned to actor, gazing at him for a moment before giggling shyly.
" Those... Are pretty big words, dear... " he said wonderingly, his voice cracking a little with emotions, as he slowly started to pile up all scentic candles he brought to a side. " But... I'd rather but be someone dear, who had showed you that all best things in your life are yet to come. I don't want to be raised to a pedestal of best thing - I want to bring so many bestest things to you, that you can no longer decide, which one is the best... " he said hoarsely, as with one single elegant dramatic move of his hand, he gracefully lit all the soothing candles.

[Mirach]

"Then I should say *best thing until now*," Senecio smiled gently. "Can I kiss you?"

[VisAnastasis]

" You'll get me all sparkled again - but for this, I don't mind being sparkled anew, by someone who is so beautiful to me..." creature chuckled shyly, and it removed its mask , by this time with more trust already, and it leaned towards him trustfully.

[Mirach]

"I already washed my face while shaving. See how smooth it is?" Senecio chuckled, and kissed the demon.

[VisAnastasis]

" As smooth as silk.. " creature smiled, and it returned the kiss tenderly, as they were doing so a lot, seeming to already by now grow a little more free and trustful with the actor in that.

[Mirach]

When the kiss ended, Senecio caressed Tide's cheek. "I will come after the bath," he promised.

[VisAnastasis]

" If it's not inconvenient, would it be alright if I just stayed outside of door, somewhere aside?" Demon bid shyly." You seem to be prone to dozing of, and this is very relaxing bath, so... it would just calm me to just follow your breathing, to make sure you are alright, as you humans are so prone to getting drowned.... Would that be alright?"

[Mirach]

"How about you stay here?" Senecio asked. "Just give me a moment to get into the water. There are so many bubbles you won't see anything... if you don't want to," he grinned.

[VisAnastasis]

" I think I would like to stay closer.. but I don't want to take advantage of you. You can trust me,  I will behave, I promise, you will see." Creature beamed, promising fervently, as in its own peculiar trait of throughts, it seemed to understand Senecio's offer as some test of respecting boundaries, something it did desire to prove. It put on a mask anew, and then it covered the place above it where his eyes would be with his palms, innocently like a child, and then decidedly turned with his face toward the wall, as if to demonstrate he is not peeking.

[Mirach]

Senecio smirked, and quickly undressed and entered the bath. "You can turn," he said then.

[VisAnastasis]

Creature evaded looking at that direction, while he slowly turned and sat down on the floor, so he could not see beyond what was concealed with the edge of the tub, and only then, more free with Senecio, he took of his mask again, and smiled, embracing his knees and grinning  a little shyly, almost a bit like a playful little puppy, desiring  to be ddeemed goodraised for behaving.

[Mirach]

Senecio smiled at him from over the edge of the bathtub, and then closed his eyes contentedly as the scented water started to relax his muscles.

[VisAnastasis]

More he relaxed, more he could feel the benefits of carefully prepared bath. It left him feeling the simple soothing pleasure of proper care coming through strong effects of powerful herbs, reaching through the water deep into his body. Combined with the peculiar mysterious scentic candles, it left him with desire to stay there longer, and more he stayed, more weak with pleasure he felt, and it was hard to move, as nourishment left him feeling calm, wholesome, cleansed - and quite disoriented and drowsy, too, on edge of falling asleep, as demon seemed to mix up quite a strong doze in desire to treat him.

[Mirach]

Senecio felt safe with Tide being there, so he allowed himself to doze off, although he still made sure to lean on the edge of the tub so that he wouldn't slip.

[VisAnastasis]

Creature, like it promised, did not intrude on his privacy in any way, respecting it firmly, he just remained quiet beside him, seeming to grow calmer too, listening to actor's even relaxed heartbeat and breathing.

[Mirach]

Senecio woke after some time. He remained in the bath for a while longer, relaxing and enjoying it. Then he asked Tide to leave him for a while and wait for him outside or in his room.

[VisAnastasis]

" If the water grew cold and you'd like to enjoy yourself some more, I can just warm it up for you. " Tide offered. " But if you're sure you're done, I will wait before the door, if it's okay. " he bid, and then, he carefully turned away toward door first, so he can not accidentally catch an improper glimpse upon him, before standing up slowly to it to leave room while actor gets dressed and ready.

( OOC: Just noticed it's the Summer Solstice today, hope you're having a nice happy suuumeeer <333

[Mirach]

"It was very nice, but I would like to get to bed now, and before that I should give the present to the king" Senecio said, and after Tide left, he got out of the water and dressed in the borrowed clothes. Then he left the bathroom.

[VisAnastasis]

Tide waited him docily before doors. He smiled broadly, as he looked up at him, head to toe, dressed in black clothing with stars.
" It's a bit too big, but it suits you. " he marveled. He extended his free hand then, and shyly suggested a carrying position, as he seemed to desire to carry him back to actor's room. " You must be tired, and it will be hard enough carrying that lame present for the king... " he teased innocently. " No need to strain now... "

[Mirach]

"There is a difference between physical weariness and sleepiness, you know..." Senecio smirked. "But I don't mind..."

[VisAnastasis]

" I am a demon. No weariness touches me, but emotional one. " Tide smiled a little thoughtfully, and pinched his cheek endearingly, before he raised him up anew in his arms and made him comfy. He seemed to enjoy carrying him, as if it gave him joy to feel him near, and as if there was something intimate to him in that act that made it so important - specially after Senecio shared him more insight into his lonesome world without parental figures that would look after him the way he did.
