"Pounce used to give me baths all the time! You need one and you don't feel good so let me take care of everything!" She smiles in the direction she thinks he is in. Her hands are over her eyes to give him at least a LITTLE privacy. She'd dumped almost an entire bottle of bubble bath into the tub already. It was Jade's... but that Jade wasn't here anymore and Nepeta figured Equius could use some soothing lavender bubbles!

"Besides, I can wash your back for you and make sure all the tangles are out of your hair better than you can!"

Like she should talk about tangled hair!

She's right about that much. Sighing, he frowns deeper, taking his sunglasses off so he can make sure she isn't watching him take his pants off.

"...I was going to get around to it."

Still watching her, he grips the edge of the tub and steadies himself as he stands on his one leg and sits against it, guiding himself into the water. It isn't a lie. He had planned on doing this when he'd calmed down a bit, but...

He wrinkles his nose just a bit as he sinks into the hot water, surrounded by mountains of bubbles that dwarf him in size. He looks up at her from the horizon of foam, blinking.

"...You may look, now."

"Yaaaay!" She uncovers her eyes and admires the bubble mountains. "I should have used a bit more..."

It's good enough. She picks up the washcloth and gently scrubs at his face like Lucas did during mud week. She only hisses a little bit when her hand touches the water. It's for Equius. She can be near the water if it's for Equius.

"Your eyes look better! You must have slept well!"

He looks at her as she's scrubbing at his face, and he turns blue when she mentions his eyes.

"...I slept better when you stayed over."

In truth, he hasn't been sleeping well at all for the past couple of days. Ever since Aradia showed up again, he's been panicking, in fact. He needs to talk to Nepeta about that, and he needs to do it now. He knows. But it's hard to make the words come out of his mouth.
