Acting as if using the suds for just that purpose had been his intention all along, J'tir started in on his face. He tried to hide the amusement from his face when she scolded him.. he was used to taking orders, following them in the course of practice in flight, but being scolded like a creche-child was something he hadn't experienced in years. He thought about teasing her back in the manner of a wingleader at practice, but instead just nodded to her as she picked up a handful of sand. "You can start on my back, I'll do my front and then we can both down our own bottoms so we can pick up a picnic lunch and head to the lake so my poor, spoiled bronze can bathe." From behind the pair, the dragon grumbled, but said nothing. The silence was a bit unusual for the pensive bronze, and J'tir absently wondered if he was jealous of Ali. I am not jealous. I am just glad to see you happy. His words were punctuated by a light tapping as his tail thumped the ground like an angry cat. That action alone gave away his jealousy and J'tir grinned, You know you are the love of my life, dear Vleyth. You made my life better when you chose me, and I couldn't be more proud to be worthy of such a handsome bronze dragon. The flattery was enough, and Vleyth rumbled his contentment as his tail stopped its rhythmic tapping.
"Vleyth, you know if she and I spend a lot of time together it just means another person to love you and dote on you." he said aloud, for Ali's benefit. The dragon didn't respond, having discovered a more still pool and was looking at himself in its reflection. Getting back to his bath, he peeked at the woman and saw her skin was pink and wrinkly from the heat in the pools and from washing his clothes. The slightly gritty sand scrubbed the dried sweat and dirt from his body, while it foamed and released the scent of lavender around them. When she started in on his back, his skin tingled from her touch. They finished about the same time, and she gave him the okay to dunk into the water to rinse. While he was under, he scrubbed at his hair to get all of the sweetsand out. When he came back up for air, he climbed from the pool and turned away modestly from Ali and began washing his legs and bottom half.
