[NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 8: It's Curtains for You!

[Halae]

[Harnel's Room]

"I'll go take that bath then," he says, "Do you want to get some sleep?" he rubs her back in response to her movement. He enjoys the closeness, it not being something he's ever really had before.

[Shadowcaller]

[Harnel's Room]

"Mhmm... just give me a moment and I'll join you. You can warm up the water yourself right?" She is still used to using elemental water which she then warms up.

[Halae]

[Harnel's Room => Bathroom]

He says, "They have heated water here. It's pretty amazing." he says with a grin. He knows how he's going to get hot water into the bathtub. After a moment more, he'll leave her in bed and start getting dressed - just his pants and shirt, but he's not about to go traipsing through the WATCHTOWER completely naked.

He'll leave after that giving a smile to Cessie before closing the door behind him, and walk over to the room they had set aside for baths. He had gotten a bucket just for this - He goes and turns on the hot water on the sink tap in the bathroom, waits until it's as hot as he can get it, and then starts filling up the bucket, which he dumps into the tub. Rinse and repeat, until the bathtub is full. At which point he'll undress, climb in, and wait for Cessie, relaxing in the steaming water

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

Well, neither is Cessie, she is only naked when absolutely nessecary.
In fact, she is wearing her full dress as she enters the bathroom, still rumpled of course and her hair is a mess, but naked? Oh no.

"I see that your enjoying the water..." She comments as she see Harnel already in the bath. "How is cleaning your scales anyway? I guess you have nothing to compare to however..." The mage says as she slowly start to undress.

She have locked the door after herself of course, she remembers such things unlike a certain half-dragon.

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

The water may actually be a bit hot for Cessie when she tries to get in - Harnel turned the hot water up to maximum. it doesn't hurt him for obvious reasons, but maybe it's cooled off by the time she gets in? I'll leave that to you.

"If I scrub the wrong way it's like rubbing the soap over sandpaper, so it can be a bit difficult, but nothing too bad." He's lounging at one end of the tub, a pleased smile on his face as he watches her get undressed.

And he left the door unlocked this time for her, since she was coming in as well. Not that that excuses last time

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

As she have stripped down, age gently lowers herself into the bath, heat is actually nothing she have a problem with. Her nature makes her able to withstand it a bit more then a normal human.

"Warm..." She comments as she is in the water in the opposite side of the tub to him. "I guess thats something we have in common, we like heat." She says with a smile.
"I have a question though, just how resistant to magic are you?"

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

He thinks about that for a moment, "I'm not sure, honestly. I think my resistance is fairly strong - an apprentice mage would be hard pressed to bypass it, and mages with some real experience ave gotten through it as well, but I think that the more magic has been used on me, or the older I get, the stronger it' advancing. That's how it works for dragons, so it makes some sense that's how it would work for me."

Cessie may find his feet rubbing up against her ankles and shins. It occurs to me that his feet are pretty massive compared to hers, just like the rest of him.

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

Yep, she feels rather small when he's nearby. "I guess so, the only dragons we still have are the spirit dragons. I doubt there were anything like your type of dragons though."

She suddenly giggles as she with no doubt feels his tail against her. "I like feeling your scales against my skin by the way."

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

He grins when she mentions skin and scales, and moves over to her, and tries to put an arm around her. There's a lot more scales on his arms and chest than just on his tail

"All the dragons where I'm from are either feral beasts or dictators, with only a few exceptions, like my mother. I agree; the spirit dragons from your world are probably very different."

He'll rest his head against hers and nuzzle a bit, "I'm so glad you like the way I look..."

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

Cessie gives him a quick kiss in return, "Something you aren't used to..." She says quietly. "Sure you wouldn't like me better with scales though?" She teases him.
"I got magic after all."

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

Harnel looks stunned for a moment, "...Can you do that? I don't know if I'd like it more, but it's definitely something I'd like to see." he looks at her top to bottom, trying to imagine what she'd look like with scales. The thought of it is quite surprising to him.

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

"Err... well, I know it's possible. I wouldn't be able to do it though." She admits, having not expected that answer. "I can summon and control energies and materials from the elemental realm, but I can't control the ones here. I might be able to arrange something however, something involving illusions. Could do something similar for you as well too if you like."

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

He shakes his head, "Not for me. I don't really enjoy having magic cast on me, and besides, I've gotten quite used to the way I look. But are you sure you want to do that? Would you actually be... another half-dragon? Or would it just be an image?"

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

"It would be realer then just an image, thats for sure. You'd be able to touch it and so... but it wouldn't be a real half-dragon with your strength or your magical resistance." She replies.

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

Harnel nods and looks her in the eyes, "That doesn't worry me. But is that something that you want?"

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

"Why not?" She says with a smile, "It's just an illusion after all and I think it's fun... I tried to be an elf with Aegnor once and that was quite enjoyable."

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

Harnel smiles and hugs her, "Alright then, we should figure out what color we want your scales to be," his eyes are almost sparkling with the idea

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

Cessie appears a bit nervous with his enthusiasm but slowly nods, "Ehh... I guess. I'm not sure what colors there are however."

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

He lists them off, lifting a finger for each dragon color he mentions, "There are five of the. The first and smallest are the whites, who breath cold and live in cold places. Then is black, who live in swamps and can spit acid. The next largest is blue. They live in deserts and can shoot electricity from their mouths. Next is Greens, who are forest dwellers who breathe fire. The largest are the red dragons. They live in mountain areas, favoring volcanoes." he sounds like he's quoting something.

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

"Red, like you?" The mage asks with a grin, "And a white half-dragon would be smaller then?" Cessie wonders. "It does sound the colors of dragons in our world too."

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

Harnel will grab some soap off the side of the tub and begin actually washing... potentially washing Cessie as well

"I couldn't tell you what the size difference would be for different half-dragons - I've only met a single blue and she was almost as small as you."

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

She wouldn't mind being washed, she is used to other people washing her after all. Those persons were always female however.

"Almost as small as me huh? Well... blue is my favorite color. That or white... or possibly black." She explains.

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

Harnel Starts washing her back. He actually has quite the gentle touch in this, contrary to how he is most of the time. He must be worried about hurting her with his claws. "I think you'd look best in blue, personally. Like your eyes."

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

Cessie giggles, looking like she is enjoys being cleaned. "If you say so, making such an illusion could take time however. I need to have a clear image how a half-dragon look like, maybe you could describe her?"

So he isn't gentle other times he touches her then?

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

He thinks for a moment. The half-blue dragon had had wider hips and no breasts, and was a bit taller. That, and she'd had a dragon head, which had just seemed like all kinds of weird to Harnel. "I could draw a picture of a blue dragon for you. That might help a lot more than a simple description."

He's a bit rough sometimes

[Devixer]

That about sums it up, yes. If they're brought together, the world will end. Thing is, since there's a lot of them, it's not exactly an emergency like the last two big world-ending gigs.

[Outside]
"Also, if there are many of these things, then there should be a lot of people looking for them, I would think. That would make it harder for them to be brought together as well. But hey, what do I know?"

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

How rough are we talking about here? >.>

"I suppose it might, all the 'half-dragons' I meet until I saw you just had a few scales at best. The only offspring of the dragons within my world." She explains, closing her eyes and leans back into Harnel's embrace, letting him wash her.

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

Enough to be fun, but not enough to hurt. If Harnel hurt her, he wouldn't forgive himself for it, so nothing too bad.

"I'm glad I can be exotic for you," he says, smiling, and beginning to wash her arms, also leaning into the embrace, "I suppose working off the picture You'll just have to take cues for your appearance from me, huh?"

[Shadowcaller]

[Bathroom]

Ah... I think she would like that actually.

"Pretty much." She says calmly, opening her eyes as she speaks. "I think I would keep some err... human parts though. I still like to appear... feminine you know?"

[Halae]

[Bathroom]

He smiles playfully, "I think you should keep the feminine features as well. I quite like them."
