Intimate Bathing

[matingseason]

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!

(ooc | As a canonical prince of Troy, maybe this is something one of his servants does for him and builds in UST. Since it would be pre-kidnapping by the gods, Ganymede will be a happy, cheerful kind of person.

On the other side, maybe he's finally free of the garden but with no life in this world, he has to take the job as a servant. This Ganymede will be ruder and have a sharper tongue.

Also A-okay with just assuming a relationship and having this intentionally intimate. )

[Sometimes Horde duties demanded slogging across alien swamps on a reconnaissance mission, forced to wade through hip-deep sludge water and crawl through mud and brambles. Unencumbered by resources, unburdened by helpful minions that could back them up, because Shadow Weaver was disdainful of effective leadership in general and Catra in specific.

Their reward for achieving success against such odds? A bath. Or more accurately, a locker room-style shower, hot water beating down on them as Lys painstakingly teases out brambles and burrs from Catra's tail.]

Hang on...this one's really tangled in there.

[ Travelling through the desert had been grueling for Troy and his small army, so the promise of this oasis city having luxurious baths was a blessing enough that even someone like Troy, who works too much, was compelled enough to relax for once. After mingling with the locals and easing himself to a restful night after a merry dinner, he went to one of the local bathhouses to end the night on a soothing note, unaware that one of the dancers from earlier is going to be there.

Olivia stood out to him earlier. She's very pretty in looks and movement, and he noticed that she looks his wat a few times as well, albeit shyly. Troy didn't think he'd see her again anytime soon, but here he is about to be proven wrong. It's not uncommon for the dancers to have other tasks in this city, so after their performances the dance troupes have something to do and make additional money by attending to bathhouses and treating the guests.

The last man to be at the bathhouse as his companions went to sleep, Troy appreciates the peace and quiet of the empty hammam. He took a few minutes sweating it out in a sauna before coming here, where he was told he'd be washed by an attendant. He didn't mind cleaning himself up, but it's the culture here so he was just going to roll with it. Clad with just a towel below his waist, Troy looks around to see Olivia arrive. His eyes mildly quirk wide with pleasant surprise, instantly recognizing her unique pink hair and shy body language. He smirks, laughing softly as he sits down on the marble ]

This is a surprise. A welcome one, don't get me wrong.
