Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jove may not have been aware of their little private lesson being an exam, but Hadiyya had been, and to say she'd been nervous was a bit of an understatement. A newly acquired fear of their instructor likely didn't help matters either. Both likely playing contributing roles in her woeful failure. Still, pass or not, she was moving forward to the second year, and it was hard not to be proud of herself for the accomplishment.

Celebrating would have to wait though. She'd touched the sickly pet in the exam, and she had the terrible urge to cleanse herself. Not just her hands, but her entire being. The chances of catching what the miserable little creature had were slim, but after their last sex ed class she was not willing to take any chances. A bath was clearly in order.

She ran into Jove wandering the halls on her way back to the dorms, and falling into step beside him, frowned down at his rather shocky expression. "Jove, are you alright?" A hand came up to touch his shoulder but stopped barely an inch from him, remembering the possibility for infection. "Hey, we should probably go clean up a bit after touching that pet, don't you think?" She didn't like the vacant look on her little friend's face. "How about you come with me, I've got a huge bath. We can add bubbles."

Narrow shoulders gave a helpless shrug to his questioning look. Had she realized he wasn't aware of of their lesson being an exam she'd have told him, but how was she to know the pup had been unaware? The smile that followed was both an apology and meant to encourage, and she leaned to lay the softest of kisses to the top of his head as it came to rest on her shoulder. "It's over now, no use worrying about it." She wished she'd have done a little better, that she'd been able to accurately diagnose the poor creature, but there wasn't a point to dwelling.

The wag of his tail was all the agreement she needed, and she chuckled as she draped her arm around his shoulders. Careful not to brush her had against him or his clothing. It was a little bit awkward, but not half as much as walking so close beside him without touching at all.

"I've got bath salts as well if you like." She had a variety, and they all smelled sweet and clean and did wonders to help ease stress and strain from the body.

Happily she lead the boil along on route to the demon dorms. Humming happily under her breath as the climbed the stairs at the entrance and made their way up to the djinn's own room. Releasing the boil only when they'd reached her door and she had to fish her key from the bands of her skirts. Unlocking and opening the door for him, she ushered him inside. Soen, dozing on one of the pillows that surrounded her low table, glanced up at them before yawning and dropping his head back on folded paws.

"Straight into the bathroom I think," she murmured to the whisp, gesturing towards the door set in the side wall. "Least we risk endangering my babies."

Once inside the richly furnished bathroom, the djinn nudged the door closed behind them with the tip of her toe, still justifiably reluctant to touch much of anything least she spread whatever infection that poor pet had to one of her own little darlings. She moved straight to the sink and turned the water on as hot as she could bare before rinsing her hands thoroughly, and only then added soap so she could scrub up to her elbows. When she was finished she coaxed the water down her arms and off the tips of her fingers, leaving her skin pristine and dry. Who needed towels?

"Alright," she said happily, turning at last to the tub and sitting down on the edge of it so she could reach the tap and turn it on. Steaming water flooding out to fill the grand basin beneath it. "You, down to the skivies and straight into the tub." While she spoke she'd poured a cap full of some sweet smelling purple liquid beneath the running water, and frothy bubbles were beginning to raise rapidly along the surface.

While he did that, she would go and change into her swimsuit. Grinning as she passed him and slipped through the door into her dorm and off towards the bedroom.

Moments later the ghoul returned in her official Amity swimwear. A black and orange one-piece, it wasn't incredibly flattering, but considering who she was sharing the bath with, that was sort of the point. "It's nice, isn't it?" She asked softly, indicating the frothy mound of bubbles that was filling the tub. In her own mind, nothing really beat a long, hot bath at the end of a trying day, or on the tail of something messy. Or just in general. As a marid, the djinn was very partial to water.

The door to the bath was nudged closed once again with one dainty foot as she entered the room. Hands preoccupied by the copious amount of hair she was currently weaving into an impressive braid. Hadiyya had long since mastered all manner of tricks with the thick fall of black silk, and what would have taken an average person ten minutes or more took less then five. When it was finished, she ended the braid with an elastic band and pushed it back over her shoulder before taking a seat on the edge of the tub. "It's not too hot, is it? I can turn the temperature down." Coming from a desert climate, heat was sort of relative.

The ghoul paused as the little ghost sputtered and tucked himself into the corner of the bath, pale features aghast with pure surprise. It had softly luminescent eyes blinking in benign curiously, the delicate point of the djinn's chin tipping gently to one side. Had he not been expecting her to join him? From the look on his face, the stream of bubbles snorted out his little nose, clearly not. "You're wearing trunks," she reminded him mildly, fending off the amused smile that was threatening to stretch across dark features.

The placement of dainty hands had Yaya rolling her eyes. "I've seen the bruise, and you know I don't care a bit about it. Why are you acting so bashful?" She didn't wait for an answer before sliding into the bath, but she did regard him with an expectant gaze.

She'd seen him in much the same attire when she'd taught him how to swim, so she failed to see what the big deal was with her sharing the tub now. It wasn't a pool, but it was a very large bath, and both were in proper swim wear.
