Rusty petted his head.
"Not hurting ya?" He asked. Hopefully, you know, he wasn't avoiding the water for a reason.

Opec sniffled and watched the drop. It just dangled before dripping off, sliding down his Buddha belly and coming to rest in his belly button. He giggled.
...no, it didn't hurt at all! In fact, it kind of tickled!
"Wa-wuh?"

Opec giggled and grabbed the cloth, squeezing it and watching the torrent before sucking on the hem. ...MMM! WHAT WAS THIS?!

Water! Rusty just smiled and stood, somewhat wobbly.
"Ithn't it nithe?" Rusty asked softly, just beaming. "Here, go to Daddy-" He was close enough for Shiloh to take the little munchkin.

Shiloh smiled and took the now-giggling Opec.
"Mind if I hijack the sink to give him a bath? Or the tub, of course."

"Not at all." Rusty smiled. "Hoth'th thampoo ith on the counter."
Hoss just raised an eyebrow at them, a Cheerio on one hook. You guys were crazy.

Shiloh put little Opec in the tub and turned the faucet on, letting the infant play with the streams. He dampened up Opec's hair and fur before beginning to shampoo him.
"So. What's new?"

"Not much." Rusty smiled, leaning against the wall. He was tired, and his body screamed to sit or lay down, but he mustn't give into the sloth! "Hoth can thay my name now. Or, clothe to it."

Opec's giggling undertoned everything anyone said, even as Shiloh began to use a little dixie cup to wash the shampoo away.
"Cool. Opec...Opec doesn't way anything. Anything but "water", apparently." He soaped up the cloth and began to wash Opec's plump little body.

Rusty smiled, leaning down. Without thinking, he rolled up his sleeves to help rinse him off.
...Oh, Shiloh. So many scars, so many cuts...

Shiloh smiled and gave Rusty's hand a thankful pat. Finally, the baby oil was put on and out came a dry towel-ridden Opec. Shiloh helped the baby into his little overalls with the hole in the back and put him on the bathroom floor. He immediately made a beeline for Hoss' crib. Crawlcrawl!

Hoss just watched the thing get closer, raising one eyebrow. Yes? What did you want?
Rusty smiled after Opec, finally giving in and sitting on the tub. "He'th tho cute." He sighed, eyes closing.

Opec reached up and, first using a leg, then the base, then the mattress, and finally the bars was able to stand and peer over the mattress at Hoss. Hello, baby! You are blue!
Shiloh sat next to him, giving a little nod.
"Definitely. I have no idea what such a sweetheart coulda done to get sent here."

Hoss looked at Opec for a long moment, nomming another cheerio.
"No." He said, dismissively.
"thometimeth, the thweetetht people have the... They have..." Rusty frowned, blinking slowly. Woah. He felt... He felt funny...
