Escaping from the realm would have everlasting consequences, anyone could have guessed that. Trauma, scars, years lost from the real world… And the obvious, physical changes to many of those trapped within. Luckily, most with those circumstances had others to rely on. For example…
Guest was currently being sprayed with a hose. She had managed to get herself into a massive mess, and was too big to fit in the tub. She had just wanted to try and bake, forgetting that she was large and not nimble at all. To think making something as simple as a cake would leave egg tangled in her fur.
…To be fair, she successfully made it! It was… not good. But she had wanted to make a gift for the individual who now was hosing her down in the middle of the afternoon. Worst part, is all she could do was look at them like a guilty puppy. Which she presently was!
Noob could only sigh as they ran their soapy hands through her hair. “...Don’t look at me like that… You know I’m not mad.” They rubbed her cheek, one of the few furless places on her body. She could easily feel the cold metal on their finger- a reminder that made her heart flutter. “I just worry you’ll… you’ll hurt yourself or something, and I-I don’t know what I’d do if you did…”
They leaned up and kissed her cheek… getting soap on their lips in the process. They quickly spat, which only led to the soapy taste filling their mouth further. “Eugh…”
Sixer laughed. Her laugh was some mix of human and animal, but it was identifiable as a laugh. Something that’d probably alarm anyone other than Noob. They, instead, merely huffed in response and kept cleaning her. Not without spraying her with the cold hose water in retaliation, of course.
…This kind of back and forth made the “bath” take half an hour. Both looked like they had dunked themselves in a lake after, especially since Noob had put on a swimsuit for the occasion. She stared at them, and got a devious little idea.
One they caught on to a bit too late. They had realized only due to the stupid look on her (already pretty stupid looking) face. “Don’t you dare-”
She, like the animal she appeared to be, shook herself. Hard . Water sprayed everywhere, specifically onto Noob. They had already been soggy, but now they were drenched . Well, to be fair, they also had already been drenched- but it’s the principle .
They half-heartedly glared at her. “...You’re the worst .” Despite those words, they were smiling, just a wee bit. “...I’m going to go dry off and order dinner, since someone ruined the kitchen…” They got up, shaking a bit (seriously, they were drenched) .
Sixer, reminded of her guilt, awkwardly followed. There was still a half burnt cake to eat, after all…
