[He just wanted to have a quick soak and then slink back to the club for some more drug-induced sleep. When he sees his grandsire, he almost turns around and leaves.
Instead, he silently strips down and steps into the water. Before his body sinks below the surface, it's obvious how thin and sick he looks.]
[Chimera flinches just a little but doesn't look up, just settling into the water up to his shoulders. He's in human form, even though he knows his wings need a cleaning badly.]
No... just tired, Grandfather....
[He must be tired, he's being polite to Rex. And it's not sarcastic at all, just quiet and subdued.]
[Rex grabs a rough bath sponge and glides over to Chimera, the support of water canceling out his destroyed leg and making him appear all the more fearsome and majestic.]
Turn around. [Gives Chimera a look that can't be ignored.]
[Stares back. The look of this one is unfamiliar... not particularly offensive, but the power radiating off PDD is enough to make Rex's wings flare and his claws show.]
[My what impeccable timing. Sure he's got a fancy jacuzzi tub at home but hot springs are just so relaxing. That is until he spots who he'll be sharing it with. He falters for a minute, maybe two before deciding that he's a god damn king and he's not gonna let anything stop him from doing what he wants. And right now that's taking a bath. In the hot springs.]
[In a rather similar state of undress, he passes by the phoenix before stepping into the springs and sinking into the water, eyeing him surreptitiously while remaining otherwise quiet.]
[Have a Yuusei kind of in a corner of the hot springs, kind of ruffling his wet, jet-black wings--though they look a little sparse for feather-coverage due to some really bad wing-keeping on Yuu's part, he isn't as on edge as he was a while back.
Um.... kinda. Yea. [He'll answer to it, but he still really, really dislikes being called it.] My name's actually Ben. Ben... ah... Godwin. [That look on his face? It's very much desperately hoping that there is one world out there where when he mentions his name is "Godwin" to someone from it that he won't get looked at funny.]

And just what are you?

[Eyeing him up and down calculatingly and not at all nicely. Not a fan of Rexes, clearly :|a ]
[And two can play at that game. He crosses his arms to make his Claw marks conspicuous.]

His memory of you is kind of foggy, old man.]

[Going over to help Yuu with his wings now.]

[Flutters anxiously... but you don't seem like a threat. That line faise is kind of alarming though.]

[Starting to pull out broken feathers now. You really suck at this whole preening thing.]

He needs to stop running into incredibly odd versions of his father. It's not good for his head.]
