gondolindrim | Baini takes a bath

Baini: *peeking at Lio's bath and attacking the water with one paw*

Ecthelion: *what*

Baini: *fascinated by the water*

Ecthelion: *just trying to take a bath*

Baini: *slips!*

Baini: *splish*

Baini: *head pops up, not very much cat to her at all it turns out, was mostly fluff* ._.

Ecthelion: Oh dear. *lifts her out of the water*

Baini: *drapes in his hand and sneezes some water*

Ecthelion: *puts her down on the bathmat and climbs out of the tub, reaching for towels, one for each of them*

Baini: *makes a nest in hers, not quite getting the point*

Ecthelion: *no matter, dries her thoroughly*

Baini: whyyyy!

Ecthelion: You need to be dry.

Baini: *grooms her ruffled fur in annoyance* I like water. I play more in?

Ecthelion: Not while I'm bathing.

Baini: why? I no scratch!

Ecthelion: Because I wouldn't like it.

Baini: why?

Ecthelion: It's not fun for me.

Baini: you no like me?

Ecthelion: I do. but I like to bathe without cats.

Baini: I learn swim. Is good. *rubs against his leg*

Ecthelion: You can. Just not while I'm in the tub. *pets her damp head*

Baini: you no in right now... *hopeful mew*

Ecthelion: Go for it.

Baini: s*crambles up the side and back in with a splish*

Baini: *keeps going under a few times before she gets the hang of dog-paddling*

Ecthelion: *dries off and gets dressed while she swims*

Baini: *splishsplish*

Baini: *tries to climb out*

Baini: *caaan't quite make it*

Baini: meeeeer!

Ecthelion: *to the rescue!*

Baini: *snuggles into the towel when she's dried for the second time and purrs*

Ecthelion: Swimming takes a lot out of you.

Baini: I like!

Ecthelion: Good to know.

Baini: *cat-nose-kiss to his hand*
