Through the Deep End (Finished)

[Vyn]

Blood rare dissuaded Mephit from anything, least of all spending time with Pravus. Not that she'd make her reasons for joining the feline in his bath nearly as clear as that. She would honestly do a great deal of things that she usually wouldn't just for the sake of tending to the feline. Talk about weakness! And here Pravus was, bothered by needing a bit of support after receiving the greatest shock of his life.

Mephit slid into the tub just behind the bloodstained feline, her fingers moving confidently through his fur as she helped to flush away the obnoxiously clinging taint of red.

Peaches washing herself in the sink didn't receive much attention from the doe, though she did glance over to watch the woman for a moment. She'd yet to acknowledge the significance of her gloved hands though she was clearly aware of the fact that it was rather unusual to soak your gloves before taking them off.

Ah well. Not her problem, honestly.

She glanced over at the pair. Why was Pravus giving her that look? Whatever, honestly. He and Mephit could have fun with the blood in the tub. Oh god the blood. She grabbed onto the sink tightly so she wouldn't fall backwards. She hadn't been this dizzy in a long while. Not to mention her stomach was acting up.

Oh flash backs. That was just wonderful wasn't it? She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Right, she needed to focus on helping Pravus. If she didn't focus she would end up flat on her face, and that wouldn't be very useful.

"Is there anything else you want? Should I get some tea or something," She asked the pair of them as she stared into the mirror. Peaches couldn't quite look at the blood filled water. However little blood it was, she still knew what it was.

Pravus closed his eyes as Mephit got in. It was comforting, as everything seemed to be right now. Every word, every touch, it all seemed to be making him feel better. He sat quietly as Mephit's nimble fingers weaved their way through his fur. Chipping off flakes, loosening bloody mats. He stared down at his hands through the murky water that was coloured by the blood of his Queen. Nothing could ever be truly right again. But he refused to be crippled by it, even if it hurt like hell everyday to function.

Without him realizing it Pravus began to purr as he became more and more clean. The warm water was sinking into his bones, warming him from the inside out. He looked up quickly, startled by Peaches speaking, for a minute he had nearly forgotten either one was there.

"Just. . . stay." He managed to say, perhaps his first coherent words of the day. "Please just stay." He whispered into the water.

Mephitisia didn't think about the blood diluting into the water, she just focused on getting it out of the feline's fur. They would have to drain the tub soon, rinse the remainder of red stains out and then off of them both, but for now this was fine. She was content to sit and stroke her fingers through his fur and to feel the oddly comforting rumble of his purring. She didn't think the purring could even remotely considered happy but it was a display of content to some degree.

It warmed her, though she would not admit it, to know that she was offering him some sort of relief.

When he directed his attention to Peaches, Mephitisia was surprised to hear the whispered words. He really did want them to stay then? She had wondered about it at first though she had never intended to leave. A faint smile touched her muzzle briefly and she leaned in, her arms sliding around to his front as he continued to groom his fur with her fingers.

Well. That wasn't what she expected. The woman shrugged before slowly releasing her grip on the sink and moving over to sit by the tub. She was closer to the blood stained water, but at least she was sitting down now. She took a few deep breathes, trying her hardest to fix her dizzy head.

She needed to get over herself for the moment. "Fine," she muttered, "I don't think either of us are going anywhere unless you kick us out anyway." Good humor was hard to find when someone was sitting in the tub on the verge of insanity. Why had it all come crashing down? Was this really happening? Well yes, it really was happening somehow.

It was just hard to admit. Someone she cared about this much was breaking down because he lost his love. And he was still convinced that he was coming back. She absently sighed at the thought before trying her hardest to give off a slightly less "it's the end of the world" vibe.

Pravus nodded, slowly. It was time to get out of the tub. He made a movement towards the edge of the tub and finally, accepted the help that came his way as he crawled from the lukewarm murky water. He had given up, to a point. Why fight the fact that his body was hurting itself and end up even more injured? He stopped questioning the caring of the girls too.

Pravus still couldn't honestly believe that anyone was capable of actually caring for him, but his Queen. His Queen always had. But that was an issue for another day. The cat refused to think of anything else this night, all he wanted was to curl up and sleep.

As he reached the bed he lay down slowly, spreading across the whole surface. It took him some time and nudges to get under the covers. Once he was hidden beneath the expanse of warm bedding he shifted to animal form and peeked his nose out from under the covers.

(want to assume the girls crawled in and call this one a wrap?)

(Pravus is positively adorable<3

But yeah, I'm fine with doing that if Kari is. ^^)
