@LuofuMischief Feixiao sits in front of him with her back to him so he can reach easily, guiding his hands gently up her shoulders so he’s aware of how she’s sitting. She hands him the shampoo, not protesting his offer as she gives a quiet sigh.
“This is what I needed after a long day.”
Finally finished with work for today, at least for the most part.
Work never really ends when you’re a general…but it can wait until she’s had a hot bath and a few hours of relaxation.
@AstralSoaring 🍃|| That would be preferable, honestly. They’re still online talking plenty. Just not to me, I guess. And I did ask them about it so. What can you do?
@LuofuMischief “Relax. Let me take care of my best medic.” She mummers, continuing to gently pamper him instead of the usual of him fussing over her. She washes his hair for him, mindful of his ears and when she’s done she gives a pleased smile.
“There. Perfect.”
@LuofuMischief “Someone’s feeling confident today.” Feixiao’s grin is soft as she reaches for a fresh cloth and her usual body wash, using it to gently run across his smooth skin. A small part of her is pleased as the gentle scent clings to him, same as her own.
@LuofuMischief “Now, now. Don’t blame me for trying to be helpful.” The general laughs softly, leaving him to remove the last of his clothing as she settles back into the large bath; averting her eyes respectfully. Though she does gently clasp his hand to help guide him until he’s also settled.
@LuofuMischief Feixiao’s own smile is just as amused, she knew fine well he’d be all too happy to receive an invite. Sitting up carefully in the water, she reaches out to gently catch his hands to draw him closer.
“I’ll help.” She mummers, fingers already aiding in unfastening his clothing.
@LuofuMischief “Hm, there’s no need for all that.” Turning, the general rests her arms on the edge of the sunken bath; chin soon pillowed against them.
“You’re not joining me, Jiaoqiu? Certainly more than enough room in here.”
@LuofuMischief This gains him a kiss to the cheek as she ties up her long hair, slips out of her clothing and eases on into the hot water with a sigh of relief.
Aching muscles melt as she closes her eyes and breathes in the soothing scent of both the candles and bath oils.
“As good as ever.” Feixiao greets with a laugh, hands settling to rest against his arms as they wrap around her.
“Did you sleep well, Jiaoqiu? I presume you aren’t awake this early to join me for training, hm?”
Though a bit clumsily he wrapped his arms around @StormridingFox from behind, resting his head on her as a content sigh escaped him, happy to have his dearest General in his arms.
"Greetings, Feixaio, are you well this morning?"
Feixiao doesn’t hesitate to take her old companion’s hand, linking their arms together casually as she sighs.
“Still plenty meetings and questions about…everything. Meeting was supposed to only last a couple of hours but that’s me just getting home.” A good thing too, –
"Ahh yes.. my apologies, Feixaio, I just couldn't quite get to sleep."
He looked her direction, though unable to see her, still giving the other a smile as he heard her approach, offering a hand.
"Why are you up so late?"
