Ugh...more water. He had just spent the whole night outside in the rain. More water simply wasn't something he was looking forward to. At least this time it'd be warm water.
Once inside the tub, Demy did his best to stand still so his two friends could climb in with him. If he was feeling better he certainly would have cracked a joke about being in such close quarters with the other two.

Scooping warm water into the bucket, Lali unceremoniously dumped it over Demy's head. As far as she could figure, it was going to take several drenchings before all the dried gunk was loose enough to wash away. Humming softly as she continued to pour hot water over her friend, she finally decided that she had enough to work with and passed the bucket around to Spence in case he wanted it.
Then, feeling like a murderer, she ruthlessly attacked the matted fur, blood and mud with soap and washcloth. Not to say she was careless, but she wasn't about to leave even a speck of dirt around the injuries on Demy's back.

Spence relaxed his tension a bit, ears pricking to listen to Lali's tune. Taking the bucket from her, Spence repeated the girl's process on Demy's front. The elder borrowed a soapy washcloth to rub vigorously at the youth's crud covered face, trying to be gentle to avoid getting in trouble with Lali.

For the most part the boy was good. Despite the discomfort the scrubbing caused he did his best to stand still and let his friends clean the fur. He'd feel better after they were done..he just had to keep telling himself this. All the mud and stuff caked into his fur was weighing him down and it'd feel a LOT better to get it out.
But even so, he could only take so much of it before the discomfort turned into pain he simply didn't want to deal with anymore. And thus after letting them clean the vast majority of the crud off of him, Demy whined, squirmed, and attempted to climb his way out of the tub and away from the various scrubbing items.

Flicking Demy's ear tip gently with a washcloth, Laliheld out her other arm to block him in.
"We're not done yet. I'm assuming you'd like to be rinsed off before you charge around my apartment half-naked and dripping? I've got all the junk back here gone and there's a tiny bit of bleeding, but that'll just help keep everything clean as long as you dont' get muddy again."

Noting the boy's squirming, Spence was not taken off guard by the boy's attempt to flee. He quickly nabbed the youth by the waist and dropped him back into the tub to wash out the last big clump of muck in the his hair. "We're almost done, dumbass," he informed Demy a bit gruffly.

"Charging about half naked doesn't sound like such a bad id---HEY!"
The boy snarled and snapped his teeth at both of them before he could even control the reaction. Good thing he didn't -actually- bite either of them, since somehow this whole change had given him slightly longer fangs as well.
"Grrrrr, cmon damnit this HURTS, let me the ******** go!"

Arching an eyebrow, Lali simply drawled, "My, what big teeth you have, granny."
Then, grabbing the bucket, she filled it up and dumped it over his head and back to rid him of the leftover soap lather. As she did so, she scolded him furiously.
"Which would you rather have? A little pain now that is going to go away now that you're cleaned up or a monster ******** infection that would cause a WHOLE LOT MORE pain if we didn't take care fo things now? I can guarantee you the infection would be nasty. Somehow, I don't think you'd be pleased with festering pustules."
Snorting as she reached for a towel to gently pat his back dry, she rolled her eyes in exasperation for Spence's benefit.

Spence growled at the boy's snapping, raising his paw to strike back. He quickly dropped the paw as Lali got back at the boy for him. He snickered slightly, glad to see the boy getting the scolding this time instead of himself.

"A little pain?! A LITTLE pain?! You wanna try suddenly GROWING new appendages and then say it's a LITTLE pain?!"
Stuck between them, he had little choice but to let them finish cleaning. That wasn't going to stop the occasional snarl or growl from the boy. As soon as they were finished one could be sure he'd be scrambling out of the tub and trying to get somewhere to hide until the pain stopped.

Finishing up her share of the drying process, Lali tossed the towels into a pile and ruffled Demy's hair.
"There! I'm done. I left you clean clothes in my room on the dresser if you wanna go put them on and sleep for a while. Food'll be ready for whenever you want it, okay? Just do me a favor and don't try to sneak out and run off because you think you don't deserve a little kindness?"

Spence stepped out of the tub, allowing the youth to go free. Stripping off the dirty shirt Lali had leant him, he tossed it into the pile with the other clothes. Hell, if Demy was allowed to run around half naked, he would too.

"I won't sneak off...mrmphhh"
Free, the boy quickly fled the bathroom in favor of fresh clothes and a bit of rest. Clothes presented a problem however. These wings made everything a bit difficult and he really wasn't in the mood to figure it out now. So, wiggling himself into a pair of pants, the boy quickly curled up in the blankets of Lali's bed and fell asleep.

Lali waited a few moments before slowly walking towards her room to peek in and check on Demy. Smiling slightly to find him already asleep, she shook her head.
"Poor thing must not have slept at all last night," she muttered under her breath as she slipped into her room and snagged a clean, oversized shirt for herself. Then, she headed towards the kitchen. Tacos and cookies weren't going to cook themselves, after all.

Spence nabbed the pile of discarded towels and linens and stuffed them into a nearby hamper. As he left the bathroom, the elder glanced jealously at Lali's door. Why had she let Demy sleep there?! Couldn't he have slept on a couch or something? Grumbling a bit, he joined the girl in the kitchen. "Got any beer?"
