Chapter 22 - Twenty-One (2/2)

I put my paw in the water, feeling the temperature, and it was warm enough to be confortable. I wiggle my talons and put the other one, going for the shallow part so I could stand; without anyone's lap.

Getting confortable I lay down and support my snout out of the water on top of the rock, closing my eyes for a little and naturally warming the water around me; I'm filled with fire after all.

So much skin on site… elves don't have much hair on their body, which gave me a clear view of those strong hill of abs, and those wide swimmer shoulders, the strong arms, not to mention the-

I feel someone approaching as my brother goes receiving pats from the others elves, and I look beside me only to see a child with big blue eyes and bronze hair staring at me.

”Can I touch you?”

”No.”

…

”Can I clean you?”

”No.”

”Can I help you bath?”

”No.”

”Can I-”

”No.”

I close my eyes then, but I still feel his eyes on me. Annoyed, I open one of my eyes only to see him staring at me without blinking. I take up the challenge and stare back.

Annoyed that he won't give up I scow and snort away, closing my eyes again.

”… and now, can I touch you?”

Ahhhh-soooo-annoyiiiing! I look back at him with an eyebrow raised as he looks at me and smiles, showing his missing tooth. Damn it, even the kids are cute.

”…Does that work with your parents?”

”Like a charm.”

Damn kid.

”…Only a little.”

I didn't even finish talking when he comes closer, fighting against the water to go quicker, and sits right beside me. One of the elves; I think one of his parents, brings a bucket for him, smiling apologetically at me.

The kid takes it and from inside brings off a soft brush, a metal brush, some shampoo and crèmes? ”Now, remember what I taught you?” Says his parent and the child nods.

He starts reciting something and I look carefully at them, feeling the water move around me. ”There! Now the shampoo won't go to the rest of the water.” The father says when I look down at the spiraling water that wasn't mixing itself with the rest.

The kid then takes the shampoo and starts to spread on my back. From now on I just doze off; never thought a bath/massage could be so relaxing. The kid is having fun, but couldn't keep the water spell for long, as his father took his place on cleaning the water from the shampoo and putting on the bucket.

It was late when they finish, and I've never felt so clean and fluffy, like a rich lady lap dog. My fur shinned on the moonlight, and I smelled of berries.

Ugh, how I'm supposed to hunt like this? Going to rub myself in some soil later on. The kid had fallen asleep beside me, so his parent had taken him out long ago.

When we got out; and my brother calmed down; the place was almost empty. I was relieved that I finally could look around without staring at someone's abs.

But of course I forgot Aeglos, right? He stands with my brother on his arms, asleep, and everything comes to view at once.

Those abs, those toned legs and thighs, arms like hills, all in all in perfect synchrony and still not bulky, giving him a slim figure and…

”Thilgon?”

”Yes?!”

”Hum… lets go back?”

I nod quickly, getting off from the bath and drying myself, rising my body temperature, as Aeglos passes a towel over my brother and starts to get dress.

Now that I can look without having a heart attack, we finally leave the bath house in the direction of his home.
