Oblivious Adonis [Open to K'tir Admirers] - K'tir - 02.Jul.13 Bath time was always entertaining; at least for Ghaeth. For K’tir, it was a toss-up and depended on a lot of factors. The preferred time was when no one else was around and they could just get right to work with the scrubbing followed by the oiling. It was a nice time to bond with his dragon and it was peaceful. The solitude didn’t bother the man either since it was almost relaxing to the point of a form of meditation with the steady motions of cleaning the hide. It gave him time to reflect and even purge memories that were better best forgotten but liked to linger all the same. The baths that weren’t always the most ideal were the ones where Ghaeth couldn’t stand still and ended up playing more than bathing which left K’tir wetter than anticipated. In the colder months that wasn’t appreciated but now that the weather was warming again, the brownrider planned for such things and stripped down to the barest minimum, like he was now, in shorts used for swimming. Ghaeth was off splashing in a deeper section of the lake but K’tir knew that soon the dragon would be running around in the shallower portion near the beach, spraying water everywhere. K’tir was ready for it though. He knew he could continue to stand away from the shore and keep himself safe and dry until his energetic dragon came to a halt but if he didn’t show interest sooner rather than later in the bathing portion of the trip to the lake, then Ghaeth would swim all day and forget the real reason they were there. So K’tir stood at the edge, wearing only his shorts, with a sponge in hand. “Let’s get started, Ghaeth.” The brown dragon paused in whatever game it was he was playing right then and seemed to frown at his rider. K’tir managed a smile and shook his head at the antics as Ghaeth took his time paddling in. Once his feet reached the sand, however, it was just as predicted. The dragon went running through the shallows, splashing water everywhere, including on K’tir. Serves you right! I wanted to play longer. I hoped to have friends show up. K’tir wiped water from his face and pushed back his hair, mourning his lack of hair tie he somehow managed to forget to pack. “Who did you invite?” There was suspicion in his voice as he eyed the brown now slowly circling back for likely another pass. Everyone! Ghaeth replied with glee as he did indeed run by again to splash more water on his human. K’tir sighed; it was just as expected. “Let’s start bathing and maybe they’ll come by and join you for a bath and swim after that.” K’tir preferred not to have company since that was another major factor but he could probably deal with some of the riders. Ghaeth had an odd collection of friends but at least some of them had bonded to fairly sedate humans. So long as it wasn’t Grith and Par’a, K’tir imagined he’d be fine. As the subject says, all K'tir admirers are welcome to pop in! Whether you're one of his lovers or one of his greenriders that crush on him and he doesn't really notice, come on down! Join in with the bathing and playing or admire from afar, I'm cool with it. I'm trying to get him out there a bit more... even if this opener isn't that great. :|
