Tenderly, Ree touched the muscles on the others back scrubbing in small circles. The answer to Yianni's next question lay stuck in his throat. His fingers climbed up his spine. “She is our mother.” He wished the other would just let them bathe in silence. He felt strange, like he was being inquired by police.

[littl3chocobo]

he wasn't certain if it was the hand or the tone the other used that made him shiver but all the same he felt a twinge down his back. "....wash me more carefully ok? i don't want you doing weird things." he got no response and the other washed his back in silence for a bit longer before he spoke again, "i have met my mother a few times, she seems like a pleasant woman and she is very fashionable"

[Poggio]

Ree did as the other requested controlling his touch so that the cloth graced the delicate skin with a slight touch. The information about his mother while strange that he shared, not wholly unexpected. “What is it like to have others do things for you and to live in such a big space you can not fill it?”

[littl3chocobo]

he barked a short laugh, "stifling and dull and lonely." he splashed the water with a hand. "even when the place is filled for people it is empty, you have it much nicer in this ramshackle hovel with screaming siblings and a caring mother." he turned around to to look at the thief, "it feels full here"

[Poggio]

Ree flinched back at the sudden movements dropping the cloth. .His long leg moved out of the way and arched its self over the boys giving him more room to sprawl out. “Surely you have other royal friends, a court... some one you can talk to... an adviser?” He picked up the cloth again reaching out to take the others arm. He lifted it into the air giving him access to the nobles pale chest. He let the idle hand fall to his shoulder so that he could steady himself, curling his fingers around the edge of the bin. Ree reached forward giving him access to the full curve of Yianni's chest. He paused. “... what is your name?”

[littl3chocobo]

he let himself be repositioned before he spoke again "kaisanii orothall of yexiall, son of lord korimasaggio orothall of yexiall and lady sau-geun of bressat." he looked away. "...what is your name?"

[Poggio]

He hesitated, wondering how much he should let the royal know about him. “ReeazuhKuss” He said like some one reading out a for the first time. It was always how he learned to say his name even though he recognized the letters he could never write it out in spelling. He smiled “....Kaiiorotha... Yexiall...you are clean.”

[littl3chocobo]

using the leg he lifted himself from the water and turned heel so that he was facing the other, lightly he bowed. "it is an honer to exchange names. then relaxing somewhat he twitched his lips into a small smile. "but i would prefer to call you 'ree' and would not be upset if you called me 'kais' in return"

[Poggio]

Ree nodded opening his mouth until he saw the strange gesture. The space inside the tub was too small. He tried to look any where but at the young man that was now looming over him. The darken flesh flushed red inside the water. “I prefer to be called Ree. It helps me remain anonymous.” he swiped at his abandoned cloth and started to wash himself. “There are clothes on the shelf and a towel.” He said gruffly hiding what he could with his cloth and the small attempt to clean himself.

[littl3chocobo]

his face dropped at the roughness of the boy's voice but he should have expected as much from a veritable stranger. stepping free of the tub he dripped over to the towel and did his best to dry off before reaching for the borrowed breeches and tugging them on

[Poggio]

He studied the other and it felt like something dropped in the pit of stomach. His face reminded him of when a new brother gets blamed for doing something wrong. He sprang out of the tub dropping his cloth that hid him. “Kais... whats wrong?”

[littl3chocobo]

sharply he turned to fling the name back at the other but stopped after the first syllable as his eyes shifted downwards. against his will he thought back to the grope from before and his face wnt crimson. looking back up he caught the other's eye and the worried look resolved itself into a look of smug self-satisfaction. he didn't stick around to see the other pose

[Poggio]

He tipped over the tub trying to chase after the other. He tackled him before he could make it back into the main area of the house. “No.. you... you will scare the children.” He whispered harshly.

[littl3chocobo]

he thrashed under the heavy body as he was sent sprawling to the floor. using the water to his advantage he wriggled free from the grip and tried again for the door

[Poggio]

He grabbed the other by the ankle not letting go. He pulled the body back towards him causing it to fall again. Once Kais was down he scrambled to pin him again. He breathed heavily. "Stop trying to run away."

[littl3chocobo]

as he was yanked down once more he rolled over. striking out with his elbow he jammed it into the boy's chest before he was pinned again. "let go of me you damn mongrel whore!" quickly the thief's hand found it's way over his mouth "i am a virgin, not a lady of the night or an indulgent royal who wastes his money seeking the company of others because love can not be found among ivory towers." he stilled at the words but in doing so felt it pressing against his leg. angrily he took up his thrashing again
