Splashes of water adorned Ravana's body as she finished bathing Stubborn, the tiny gold wriggling with delight when the rider went to get the bottle of oil. She let out a sad creel when she set it aside and pulled out her beltknife instead of instantly oiling her. She had learned not to fuss by now when Ravana pulled out the tiny belt knife she used to trim the lizard's claws, settling for giving her a haughty baleful stare as Ravana carefully used the knife to shave slivers of claw off each of the firelizard's digits.
Only when each claw was shortened and dulled a bit, did Ravana reach for the oil again and start massaging it into soft golden hide. Stubborn chriped happily the entire time, wriggling and fussing until she could lie in the sun to dry. Her human bustled around the hut, then emerged after a while, her arms full of things.
A whistle brought Stubborn from Her light doze, the gold curious why she was carrying one of her baskets and wanted Her. She came though, preening when she was rewarded with a treat. Balancing on Her human's shoulder easily, she chirped in curiousity when they went to the building where cloth was made.
Hers had been here before with Stubborn, and the gold liked it here. There was a lot to see and do and people often gave her attention! She watched Ravana settle and crawled to lay over her neck, resting Her head where Hers could easily pet it. When a hand lifted to pet, she crooned happily, purring for Her human and feeling the sress that often hung over her human dissipate. Green Nuisance Sister landed settled outside, and Stubborn felt Her human tense up, crooning to her until she relaxed, even licking her cheek. Satisfied when Hers was relaxed, she looked around, wondering who she was waiting for. She recognized the air of anticipation and nervousness that clung to Her human. Settling to wait with her, Stubborn kept crooning, purring and butting at Ravana's hands for more pettings when she paused.
