[open] rub-a-dub-dub?

Who: Hilda and you!!!
What: It isn't often that legendary Pokemon need baths. This is one of the days that they do.
When: Day 139
Where: the banks of the lake in Gefion Park.
Rating: PG???? i doubt it'll get worse than that.

[ it's a beautiful day, Asgard. the sun is shining, the air is crisp... a perfect day for a bath. yes, a bath.

it isn't often that a legendary dragon needs a good soaking, but with the recent fighting that Reshiram has gone through with the Darkness attacking, it's feathers have accumulated a good amount of dirt, and even small bits of dry blood where Hilda had healed it's wounds. you aren't a stone any more, Reshiram. that shit needs to go.

but how do you bathe a ten-foot tall dragon? you get creative -- and in this case, access to a large lake is getting creative. Hilda's brought it to one of the banks of the lake with supplies (a few large buckets, a large cleaning brush that would probably be used for some kind of vehicle, and plenty of soap), and the dragon has somewhat reluctantly agreed to the washing. it might have a lax nature, but there is some pride in looking neat and tidy.

so if you're near the lake, feel free to ask why there is a girl in shorts, a white shirt and a Pokemon protagonist™ hat sitting on the top of a white dragon's head, trying to scrub behind the long mane that's perpetually flowing in the wind. it you're lucky, you might even get a spray (or a drenching) of water when it gives it's wings a shake... depending on how close you are. she'd appreciate some help, or you can just look on and watch. ]

[he catches the brush—kind of stumbles a bit and almost drops it, but he manages to hang onto it—and kind of... looks up.]

Uh... just climb on him?

No! I rode on Zekrom when Touya and I switched bodies.

[except of course that was to ride it, not... clean it... MAN WHATEVER. scaling the dragon it is!!]

Sorry, I don't get to climb dragons a lot in my free time.

[...yeah, he's just kidding around now. he takes her hand and, with a small grunt, finally gets up to where she is. NAILED IT.]

So, now what?

Gentle... okay.

[HE CAN TOTALLY DO THIS. even if he's never really had a pet before, much less a dragon... man whatever!! with brush in hand, he begins to comb the feathers, watching to see its reaction.]

Am I doing okay? [he's talking more to Reshiram than to Hilda...]

You know, even after everything I've gone through at home and here... I never thought I'd say I'd be grooming a dragon.

Not really. Dragons aren't really things you'd keep as pets—or partners. [sorry, Reshiram!!] And you didn't see a lot of them on Cocoon. You'd only find things like that down on Pulse... where all the other monsters are.

No, it... doesn't really work like that.

[the games don't turn into pokémon until ffxiii-2, alas]
