Awash in intimacy

[asoftermeme]

the intimate bathing meme;

Grooming is an important part of many species' rituals. It keeps them clean, healthy, and content. And a good bath? It can change the whole tone of a day from terrible to relaxed and blissful. But nudity is sometimes viewed as a weakness - and it is almost always sexualized - so bathing is often kept a private matter. If you do share these moments with someone, they're almost always a significant other or a sexual partner. Like you're doing now. Whether it be after a battle or after sex (or before sex, even), the two of you are going to get clean. Be sure to help each other out with that, won't you? After all, there are places on the back that just can't be reached... HOW TO PLAY: Comment with your character, your prefs, etc. If there are other grooming-related practices or kinks you'd like to include, like shaving, hair washing, mention them! Reply to others!

[TLJ-compliant, can avoid spoilers, open to AU and cross-canon as well as canonmates, etc. etc. come tag me]

(ooc: Haven't seen TLJ yet, but I'm okay if small spoilers slip out. How would you feel about a super upbeat force-sensitive girl that Rey and co. kind of stumbled on? Maybe they're both from shithole planets and kind of enjoying a natural spring they find?)

[ Come bathe with a goddess! What fool would turn down such a request?

...no, seriously: what fool? Everybody knows what happens when a goddess is spurned. Just ask the Trojans. ]

[It's obvious that Xander works hard every day to hold a kingdom up with pride and power. She is not blind to the duties of royalty, but even kings need to relax. A tired ruler can be easily seen from his people, discouraging them among negative emotions.

Sona did not get any personal time with Xander until the evening, retiring to their chambers to wind down before sleep. A maid already prepared her an evening bath, hot and refreshing as she sinks down to rest in the waters.]

Are you going to join me?

[Even if she needs to step out of the bath to drag Xander in with her, she does want to be with him and get him to relax before taking on the day tomorrow.]

lol whatever idk

[A little charm went a long way, even among the loyal servants of the Ren family. They loved Kouen, almost to frightening amounts, but they were also weak to Sinbad's charms and eager to believe him an honest man.

Kouen, evidently, did not share with them his opinion of Sinbad as a low down serpent. So, when he pined for an opportunity to admire the gardens, they granted it to him.

And, before they could catch their bearings, he disappeared back into the depths of the castle.

It was no easy feat, slinking through the halls undetected wearing next to nothing. But Sinbad's entire childhood was equal parts running, hiding, fighting, and flirting his way into success.

He would find his metal vessels, somehow. He could feel them.

However, when he found himself in the royal bath chamber, he staggered. It was large, echoing and opulent, full of warm cloudy steam. The bath itself was round and wide enough to fit half a dozen people comfortably, full of sweet-scented glimmering water, and, alone at one end of the tub, was none other than Kouen himself.

Sinbad crouched instinctively, glancing around for any servant girls tending to him--but Kouen appeared to be soaking alone.

He approached, bare feet silent over the slatted wooden flooring, and squatted close to the edge of the tub. He placed his hand over the center of Kouen's chest, leaning over him.]

All this, and you leave me to be washed by those old serving women?
