027 Points - A clean castle is a happy castle

[tomatoandbasil]

[What a fine day it is for the tail end of summer, isn't it, Paradisa? Everyone's rooms are back to normal. We all may or may not be scarred for life. We may all be varying degrees of depressed to have seen and heard what was hidden in us and in others. But the important thing is we made it out alive. Right? Right. Life goes on

[Rin was just sitting in the autumn sun, brushing her Arcanine's thick orange fur... gotta get that summer coat all out so he's nice and sleek for winter...

She looks up at Alleyne, and blinks.]

... What?

[tomatoandbasil]

[Awww, doggy. What a lovely scene to behold. Does he need an extra cleaning too?]

You forgot your ears last time you bathed; I can see it from here.

[payback]

No way, I keep my ears very clean!

[No.. not Tad...]

[tomatoandbasil]

[She'd need bigger swabs anyways for the doggy.]

Are you sure about that now? I can see it quite clearly; you can't fool me.

[payback]

[Just

boggling at this woman.]

No. No, I'm really sure, everything's fine...

[tomatoandbasil]

[Headtilt, walking up closer]

I'm quite certain you need it.

[Her voice doesn't quite match her words, hinting that no, she wants this to stop, quit it castle]

[payback]

[Rin just... gapes, really. This is quite beyond the pale. And she's beginning to get up.]

Hey... are you okay?

[tomatoandbasil]

Depend son your definition of okay, miss.

[Hint hint, it's the castle.]

I feel fine save for the fact this urge has taken me over.

[payback]

Ear cleaning, you mean?

[tomatoandbasil]

I admit it's an odder urge to have, but for the life of me I cannot rid myself of it unless I act on it.

[payback]

You must be pretty good at cleaning ears by now.

[tomatoandbasil]

It's something brought over from my time back home, I believe. The castle wants me to relive it for reasons I can't even begin to fathom.

[That and you gotta be good to clean ears as huge as these. They flick a bit.]

...You sure you don't want it?

[payback]

I... guess you can clean my ears, if it's the only way you can get rid of wanting to.

[tomatoandbasil]

[Rin, she owes you one. She really, really does.

She sighs, taking a swab out and approaching you.]

You have my deepest gratitude.

[payback]

Right...

[Fff she's lying down and resting her head on Tad... who is also staring at Alleyne... wat]

[tomatoandbasil]

[Gonna give Tad a nice pat on the side there as she leans in and works that elven magic.

She looks so determined as she does this. Look at that face.]
