[ ♑ ] This is not a bath house

who: grand highblood + you
when: afternoon almost evening
where: the lake inside the forest [south-east quadrant]
style: any is fine
status: open

The highblood had spent a good chunk of his time after various events such as Summoner's death, Summoner's return, that scuffle with Darkleer, his own death by Darkleer's hands, just wandering off on his own. He didn't let anyone see him come or leave, and if they did, they obviously didn't bother him enough for him to care. As neglectful as he is of himself on a regular basis, he became even more so during this time and it led up to a point that even the highblood himself couldn't keep letting it go on as such.

It's one thing to look intimidatingly furious and unkept, but it's a whole 'nother thing looking like some kind of homeless feral creature. So to remedy this problem, he saunters on over to the nearest body of water and just slowly submerges himself underwater wearing only the minimal amount of clothing (meaning just his underwear -- yes, the one with his symbol on it). Not that he ever really wore that much to begin with these days, usually forgoing shirts regardless of the time and place. He remains under for a couple of minutes before the large spiraling dark red-to-orange-and-yellow horns slowly rise up through the clear surface, his massive amount of hair floating around him like kelp as it stuck to his hulking body while more of it emerges. It's quite a sight, really.

Talk to him? Try and wash his hair properly instead of how he's just making it worse by not properly shampooing and conditioning? Join him? >;o)

"If you're quite certain..."

Though really, anything Zelda can put out on a physical level is unlikely to be considered painful by the highblood. She can make faster work of it at least, though the way the oil makes it stick together makes her wish for some soap. Perhaps she should summon some once she gets the worst of the tangling out.

No, she's certainly not a slave. This is an act of her own free will, and as far as she's concerned, a favor to the entire neighborhood. There's still a of work to be done untangling his hair, but it might as well be accomplished in warm water. Maybe it will even relax him a bit.

"There are hot springs further in the forest. They're at a good temperature for bathing, or so I am told. I haven't used them myself, but I know others who have. Would you like to go there?"

Zelda can't really bring herself to do the whole outdoor bathing thing. She feels exposed in clothes most people consider modest, taking everything off outside would be far too uncomfortable.
