With all the madness, the hoard of students running off to help Red with some mission, It left the halls a little more quiet and less occupied. it left the hound with a calming sense of normalcy. Even if the feeling was probably fleeting in his mind. It was nice, just to be able to stroll around and think and not worry about the humans attacking.
There were many things on his mind these days, keeping him up at night, keeping all of his personalities awake. The eventual trip home. The stress and anxiety of it and what will come from his clan elders assessment of the progress, it was just as terrible.
"I need to go blow off some stream." he grumbled to himself, kicking off from the bed that had its sheets twisted and turned into a little doggypile of comfort and watched as regal took up the unoccupied place. sleep can come later, right now Demi would rather visit the fitness club for a workout and a refreshing shower. That sounded like a much better idea to him as he grabbed a workout duffel and threw a towel in and headed to the intended room.
Half and hour later of grunting and kicking and he was finished with his workout, feeling boneless and achy and content. It was off to the locker room to grab his towel and head to the showers.

Where did he put it... It was a well known fact to his closest friends, that little Jove liked to borrow clothing. He liked to wear scarves and shirts and sweaters, and it was even better when he was wearing something someone had given him. Most of Ren's sweaters had been worn by the pup at one time or another, some taking up residence in the pup's room on a more permanent basis. But out of all the sweaters his brother still claimed as his own, Jove had left one of them somewhere. And after searching under Ren's bed, his own room, and a few other places, the pup could only think maybe he left it in his locker after a bruteball practice. So that was how Jove ended up in the locker rooms just in time to hear the sound of running water from a previously unexplored section of the room. Although he was a part of the bruteball team and attended gym class, the pup usually changed and rushed out of the locker room as fast as possible. He was timid about his bruises, and the less time he was seen, the better! And since he never sweated during his practices, he never felt the desire to linger at the lockers any longer than strictly necessary. With his sweater dilemma forgotten, Jove's curiosity got the better of him and he quietly padded around the corner to where the showers were. Where was that sound coming from?

The sound of pitter patter on tiles was always soothing the the hellhound. It wasn't quite the same as it was in the outdoors. Not to mention that the distinct scent that came with natural rainfall was void in the room. Water was water and either way, Damien was glad to have to moment of peace, at the the peace that came with multiple voices in one's noggin. "La la la, time for suds." the green eared pup hummed to himself in the echo-y cavern and palmed a dollop of green gel before working it into a loofah. He was suddenly one very poofy and clean smelling student.

Jove's head tilted. That sounded like Demi! But what was he doing in there? The pup's head tilted as he followed the voice, it echoed quite a bit on the tiles even though the sound of water was more overpowering to the pup's sensitive ears. Poking his head around the corner, he was greeted by the sight of a very soapy hellhound. Under what looked like a rainstorm. Inside. Ears perked, Jove was oblivious to his friend's lack of clothing as he trotted closer to look at the strange thing. Had little rainclouds always been inside the locker room here?

There was something special about hygiene to Demi, a way to prevent the smell of wet fur by having even wetter fur seemed like a odd concept. But it worked. Even if right not there was less fur to clean and more skin, then Natural form cleaning can happen afterwards. The steady stream of falling water continued to drown out the sounds of the locker room as he continued to lose himself in the act of proper hygiene, ears folded in close as he stuck his head directly into the stream and opened an eye to spot a curious Jove at the locker room. "Hey Jove, why are you in the shower with your clothes on?" asked as he put the boil into friendly headlock, forgetting the fact that he was sopping wet and getting the foxfire soggy as well. But who could resist giving someone a body wash noogie? not the Hellhound.

Jove squeaked as he was suddenly grabbed, but even his usual protests were moderated by his desire to investigate this whole 'shower' thing. Hadn't Ren mentioned showers before? Was this them? Little rainstorms inside? His nose twitched at the smell of soap, and it struck him that Demi was washing away soap bubbles, not little pieces of cloud stuck in his hair. He was about to snort at the comment about his now-soaked shirt and shorts, it was only natural to wear clothes after all, but he was cut off by the realization that his companion was actually... not wearing... clothes. The pup blushed brightly, his cheeks glowing with a pink tinge as he dashed out of the shower area, leaving a wet trail behind him. He hid behind the wall, only fingers and one slightly soapy ear showing to indicate he was still there. He couldn't look while Demi was just standing there!

One moment Jove was there, the next he was cowering behind the divider.Just when Demi thought he figured the fellow puppy out, jove goes off and does something unusual. It was perplexing, and never more so when the tiny boil never said a peep. One sopping wet ear twitched and perked up at the sight and he in turn cocked his head to the same angle. "What's wrong?' he asked, honestly puzzled by his actions. "I'm just showering." he explained, running a hand under the steady stream of water. "I dont' smell like wet dog, honest."

It wasn't the SMELL that had Jove running for the hills, contrary to popular belief, most wet dogs smelled fine until they started to dry. Besides. He lived with foxfires, it was hardly a smell he even noticed anymore. With one hand over his eyes, the pup timidly emerged from behind the wall, and then briefly peeked out from under his hand before clamping it back over his eyes. He wanted to know what this 'showering' thing was, but Demi hadn't even put on a towel! It was just not modest at all! Not even his hand could hide the fierce blush that brightened his cheeks.

The hazy mist of the shower was billowing, it did nothing to block out the rosy cheeks of the pup that was hiding behind the corner. - you lug, Jove's embarrassed, cover up- Phos was more intuitive than Demi remembered, he didn't think anything was wrong, they were just boils in the shower. It wasn't as if he was trying to grab him down there. in hindsight, it was Jove after all and after all the moments he spent with the foxfire, the fact that he was easily flustered should have been picked up sooner. The hound snapped back to reality and showed a sense of humility, grabbing a nearby towel and placing it around his hips. "There, my shame is covered, Jove, its safe now." he called, turning around in place to show that he was indeed covered up from the waist down. But it still wouldn't stop him from launching at the pup for a hug. "Did you need to get cleaned? I have some spare body wash you can use if that's the case." they were like brothers. What was his, was Jove's.

Jove's ears flicked back nervously, but he gave Demi the benefit of the doubt and peeked out from under his hand once again. That was better. Still not great, there was still too much skin being shown for Jove's tastes, but he understood it was easier for a short-haired canine to go without- He yelped as Demi leaped towards him, and didn't get far before he was being hugged by a wet, soapy, half-dressed hellhound. The water soaked through his clothes in an instant. This struck him as very Ren-like behaviour, but then again, Demi and himself were almost brothers too. So it was probably okay. The pup's ears perked, and he made a speculative "hmm?" noise. Was that what this shower thing was for? Cleaning? He tried to wiggle out of the taller boil's grasp so he could better investigate the shower.

It was like looking after the pup back home, when they wanted to see something, they really wanted to see it. The dampness that was seeped into the smaller boil has already soaked in, it didn't seem to matter anymore. What's the harm in getting more wet? Thats what towels were for. The wiggling mess in his arms drew closer to the shower fixture, and he helped Jove to get used to it. But putting him under the running water, clothes and all. "Say hello to mister shower." He was enjoying this far too much. "Go change and i'll show you how it works if you want to know ok?" He patted the boil off to the lockers and got down to properly washing himself in case Jove came back and prevented the blushy blushy of proper cleaning. Jeeze Jove, you're a big boil now.

The pup snorted loudly, and repeatedly, and jerked away from the stream of water. His ears and hair were wet and flattened only one side by the time he escaped, the other side glittering with beads of shower mist. But that didn't stop him from putting his hands under it, turning them palm-up to feel the artificial raindrops. Go... change? Jove made a confused noise as he was gently pushed in the direction of the lockers. And stopped when he was only a few feet away from the showers. Change into what? Into... Nothing? NO WAY. The pup turned around, with the intent of going right back to the shower.

The solitary time in the shower was always good thinking time for Damien, a chance to sort out things under running water. It really put into perspective the knowledge that he had, even something as simple as a shower. "Heh, guess you can learn something new at any moment." the hellhound muttered to himself and began to wash off the body wash. The scented foam that slopped off as he turned around to get his back. The sudden and swift reappearance of Jove took him by surprise again, It was as if Jove just was hiding lying about his embarrassment and wanted to take a peek. "Jove either you get a pair of shorts or you get a towel, but you are not messing up your clothes any more." he fired back, giving the best mom-like voice he could muster to the fellow pup. The authoritative pointing helped too.

Thankfully the pup's intentions were purely innocent, and 'taking a peek' was not on his mind. It was something he never wanted on his mind to be entirely honest. He ignored both the admonition and the pointed finger, and made a bee-line back towards the shower. He definitely wasn't undressing! It was bad enough he hadn't brought his heavy jacket with him, the white shirt he wore was starting to cling to his skin as he stood near the water. It was starting to show the ugly bruise markings that stood out darkly on his pale skin. He tried to ignore that and explore the water instead. Ears perked forward as he put his hands in, enjoying the feel of the droplets running over his hands. It was definitely different from baths!

Jove was not good at listening, that was all that demi got from this, it was either that or he just wasn't very authoritative. Neither reason made him very thrilled at the foxfires actions. The scowl only deepened when Jove continued into the manufactured rainwater. Was this kind of rebellion he was going to have to expect whenever he gets scarelings? It was something to think over but the dark skin under the other boils skin captured his attention. "What's this?" the question was out of his mouth before giving it extra thought, gently prodding at one of the discolored marks. the fact that he was questioning Jove in the shower went out the proverbial window too. Jove's safety and health mattered more. "Jove?"
