Usually if people take baths together you only really scrub someone's back for them since that's harder to reach by yourself, but your chest was closer, so, um...

[BABBLE just tracing around his shoulder spikes while he talks]

[is standing very very still. and dealing with all this soft touching. This is fucking weird! But not bad... though all his instincts to protect his vulnerable spots are flaring up... but it's not like Kengo has any weapons and his claws take time to manifest!

... That's another thing, Kengo's human body that's just all pale skin, no horns or fur or scales... at all. Which feels wrong. But he's looking over him...]

Is this supposed to be ... soothing?

Ah--sure! It doesn't feel bad, right?

[Demonstrating better by taking his more human hand and starting on his palm, lathering his way up]

[llletting himmmm....]

It isn't bad.

[Kind of ending up examining all those scars as he works up his arm]

[there's so many. so. so many. Not huge and obvious from far away like on his chest, but they're in layers and layers. Most have faded. Darc has his eyes trained on Kengo, though he glances down to where he's touching him too... his pale skin on his dark arm really stands out, he thinks idly]

Haha, spikes on your elbows too, huh? [Sticks out own arm] Compared to me you look really rugged.

Rugged, huh. . . [hmf] I'm used to looking "like a human."

Mm... I guess they meant it as an insult or something, but you're actually really good looking, you know.

[...... startled for a moment... then squints his eyes at him.

hfffs.]

You've really lost your mind.

Ahh... I guess I feel like I'm thinking a bit different from usual, but that's the same as I always thought.

..... Don't you think I look strange? I thought you've been around humans all your life.

No way, I think you look awesome! I guess because I wasn't raised with the same ideas as people in your world? I mean, there aren't any real people like you where I'm from, but there's always been art and that sort of thing, and it's considered cool. Though I bet even some of the people you knew didn't think you look that strange.

... Nobody on the planet looks like me. If you saw a full-blooded Deimos you'd understand...!

[fhgn I don't know what art is, and all this fucking touching!! reaches up with his human arm to still his hand for a moment, insistent but not tight-- ughkfn their limbs look so alike...]

Though they... accepted me, after we fought together. It took time. They knew better than you.

[Stops as soon as Darc moves his hand away--distracted by the discussion]

Erm.. well I got a good look at Delma-san... She was pretty too though...

[didn't move his hand AWAY, just stopped it from moving all over the place] . . .

Hmph... that's right, you saw that...

You're right enough.... Then you just like Deimos.

[Well kind of interpreted that as "stop" unconsciously and dropped his hand a bit anyway, though apparently doesn't feel awkward about it]

But, Humans and Deimos have to be at least a little compatible or it wouldn't be possible to have offspring, right? So it's not that weird that someone without any reasons to dislike Deimos would think at least some are good looking.

. . .It's still ... not anything anyone's ever just done.

[SOMETHING OCCURS TO HIM]

Wait, do I look really weird to you? [LOOKS AT HIMSELF as if this will help him determine how weird he looks]

[f. face]

Obviously I'm not used to humans! It's weird for me to want one...

[... quietly in the recesses of his mind he knows that it wouldn't be the first time, but shut up, quiet recesses of my mind, this is why I never listen to you.

He looks Kengo up and down, then, after some hesitation... reaches to run his human palm up his arm, over just skin - doesn't run into any protrusion or... anything.]

[OH NO HIS FACE GOES COMPLETELY RED ////////]

[This is so strange! There isn't even any sign of his shadowy form, no mark or anything beyond the necklace. glances up--

...]

Kengo, you changed color.

[OH CRAP OH GOD WHAT IF I WERE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS--]

--Eh? No I didn't... [Hands aren't gray, see?]

I mean your face! Like you got a fever again all of a sudden! You damn well better not get sick again!
