"Get in the tub," the squirrel woman ordered before rolling her eyes. "You keep saying it... I had wanted friendship with sex, but every time we ********, which apparently wasn't -really- wanted on your end except this once, we fight." She took a deep, ragged breath and snarled, "I've been nice to you, I've helped you out, and now, I've told you what I want. Now answer my question Billy... What do you want from me?"

"PIty," He weased, not moving from where he sat, "An' compassion..... An' friendship...." He managed, trying to pull himself towards the tub, but had seemed to fatigue himself durring the fight. "I jes'.... acouple... I hate..." His eyes were lolling, his face almost white.

"********," she muttered to herself before, stepping rather gracefully over the ink pile to pick Billy up and help him back into the tub. In the very least, she wasn't going to let him die.

He crawled in with her help, staying under the water for a few good minutes. It was definatly a good escape from the argument.

The water plus whatever his body produced to lubricate his skin made the cuts in her hands burn painfully, and she stood once he was safe in the tub. First things first, she washed her hands immediately before carefully bandaging them up so the ink splatter could be dealt with.
Antony stayed silent all the while she cleaned the stain, trying her damnedest to not get any of the black, fishy substance on her fur. It was bad enough she had to smell it. Thankfully they were ony in the bathroom, and no carpet had been stained.

Once he was recharged, Billy peered out of the water, keeping the level just under his eyes as he watched her work wordlessly. There was no way he could leave without her help, and he wanted and needed her help in other ways as well. He wasn't sure why she was so upsettable when he was just doing what she had done to him. He was rather civil to her, compaired to how he was with most other people.

It took a while, but eventually Antony had cleaned up all of the ink and dumped the dirty water from the washbucket off of the front stoop's railing. For the time being, the bucket was left out there too.
Before she came in, the squirrel woman gave her door a few angry punches with her right hand, not really caring how much her knuckles smarted afterwards. As if the door assulting never happened, Antony walked back into the bathroom, arms crossed over her chest.

He stayed put, waiting to see who would speak first. His life really was in her hands just then.

She simply raised her eyebrows expectantly at him.

"Not particularly. Do you want me to help you to your chair?" Her voice was as neutral as she could make it.

"Didn't you want to leave?" Antony asked, not about to lose at whatever little game they seemed to be playing.
