Lucien's eyes flicked to him, and he shook his head. "Yes. I'm fine. It's nothing you need to worry about." he replied, clearing his throat softly and fastening his attention on the hallway again.
It's not in the Cards (O/O)
Aki nods before hurrying after the other. He hums quietly to himself, his eyes shutting. "There's magic around this place…" he mutters softly. "It's strong…" He whispers.
(I gtg to bed for reals now lol. Good night!)
Lucien glanced at him, hand on the knob to his room. "I…what do you mean?" he asked, cocking his head.
(Lol night)
"Around the castle. Magic it's there. But here it grows stronger…" he mutters softly. His eyes search the hallways. "Something… It's not important. I can investigate it later. I need a bath." He laughs quietly.
Lucien frowned slightly, and nodded, opening the door for his room. "Alright." His room was a bit messy, clothes scattered around the room and the covers on the bed unmade.
He chuckles and sighed softly. He looked around and smiles. "I like this. Seems more homey then the castle does." He says softly.
Lucien looked at him, and nodded. He sat down on the bed with a sigh, tossing the crown unceremoniously onto the pillows. "Yeah." He agreed with a small smile. Then he blinked. "Right. Bath." He stood up again, and led Aki over to the bathroom.
Aki followed after and hummed softly, relaxed. He sighed as he entered the room and relaxed and followed after him to go to the bathroom. "Wow… this place is as big as my house…" He laughs.
Lucien chuckled softly. "Mm." he opened the door to the bathroom. "Uh…fresh towels are in the cupboard." he said.
Aki nods in thanks before pouting a little. "As I recall.. I thought you were going to join me?" He asks curiously, a small smirk on his lips.
Lucien chuckled. "Mm, only if you're sure." He replied, leaning against the doorframe.
"Absolutely positive." Aki replies with a small smile, wagging his finger in an inviting manner.
Lucien smirked a little, and closed the door. "Alright then." He replied with a soft chuckle. He reached up and took out the two small braids in his hair, setting his hair ties on the counter.
Aki started a bath, making sure if was warm water, and bubbly. His ears twitched a little as he waited for the tub to fill with the warm water.
He also set the crown down. "By the way, if you want to make it a bubble bath, the supplies are right there." He pointed at a bottle sitting by the tub.
Aki looks over and grabs the bubble bath supplies a childish smile on his lips. "Wonderful."
He chuckled, smiling. "Don't use too much, I don't want to drown in bubbles. That would be embarrassing."
Aki pouts before nodding and smiling a little. "No problem." He puts it away after a moment and sighs happily.
Lucien watched him with a slight smile on his lips. I wonder if…
Aki hums before looking up and beams at Lucien. "No peeking." He giggles softly before undressing and slipping into the water. A blissful moan exits his lips as his muscles relaxed in the warm water.
Lucien laughed, obediently closing his eyes and turning away. "You good now?" He asked, chuckling quietly.
"All good!" Aki calls, laughing softly. "Come and join me." he says happily as he relaxes into the tub.
Lucien chuckled. "Alright. You don't get to peek either." He pulled off his shirt, and undressed, before climbing into the tub. He let out a soft sigh, leaning against the edge of it contentedly.
He smiled gently and hides his eyes. He looked rather pleased as he felt the water shift. He looks up and smiles before slowly opening his eyes. He smiled warmly as his ears twitched happily.
He smiled back, stretching. The water came up to his mid torso, due to the way he was slouching in the water. He submerged his head, soaking his hair, then came back up. His dark hair stuck to his head, sticking up a little bit and dripping water down his skin.
Aki giggles softly and washes his hair happily, looking rather pleased with himself. He sighed softly and looked down, playing with the bubbles. He looks at him happily, before sighing quietly. "This feels wonderful." He mutters quietly.
Lucien smiled at him. "Oh, good." He replied, leaning back against the wall of the tub. It was a rather large one, thankfully, although there still wasn't much room for the both of them.
Aki nods and sighs happily, relaxing into the water. He looked over to the other. "This is nice." He giggles softly.
Lucien nodded, looking over at him. "Mhm. I'd be skinned alive if I was caught doing this, but hey, what's life without a little risk?" He grinned teasingly. He wouldn't really be skinned alive, of course. Just maybe in a little trouble.
He chuckles quietly, "why's that?" He asks curiously, his head tilting rather cutely as one ear perked up, the other flattening against his head. He seemed rather happy and relaxed as the warm water seeped into the marrow of his bones.
