Gangsta

Drik attaching himself to Ix's leg once Kaz started moving away, the dragon apparently wanted someone to cling to constantly. He was a little pampered, but that was fine as far as Ix was concerned. It was nice having a constant companion that was as safe as. Well, as safe as Kaz's own new baby kitten looked. "Hm? Ah, just a year since I stopped taking lovers. They're all up in hissy simply because I'm making sure you don't escape."

Heading over to one of the other doors in the room, Ixavier opened it to reveal a walk in closet, disappearing inside though he continued speaking. "Don't mind any weird stuff they ask, and don't worry, I'm not interested in being frivolous anymore. Too distracting, and too dangerous." The last person he slept with sort of tried to stab him in the middle of things. Talk about a real turn off, completely ruined the mood.

While Ix didn't have very colorful clothes, sticking to his formal attire now that he was in charge, he did have an array of fashion disaster pajamas. Some of which he picked out just for the monochrome Kaz to brighten up his mood. Totally the only reason, as he picked out a pair of rainbow pants with a grey T-shirt that was a little big on him, so should be perfect loose pajama size on the slightly smaller male.

Ah yes, this was going to be great. Of course he couldn't let the other see ahead of time so waited for them to disappear with their dragon before he'd go deliver the clothes. It was a big bath with a separate area for both the shower and large bath. "I'm taking your clothes and leaving the new ones here darling~ Enjoy your bath!" Drik wished them a fun time in the bath as well, but instead of leaving with Ix, he detached from his leg to wiggle himself towards the bath. "Me too?" He questioned sticking his head over the side.

“I see, well I doubt you made things better by calling me handsome.” He couldn’t blame Ix for keeping an eye on him, but he was a man of his word and planned to stay for that solid month. If he liked it or not was another question altogether though.

Behind the bathroom door, he set Nyx down on the floor as she uncurled. Her multiple eyes blinking for a moment as she crawled towards the tub. She was curious about the area, and with Kaz calm she didn’t feel too bad wandering away from him. Stripping his shirt off, he stood there a moment to run his hands across some bruises left behind. They stung like hell but that was his life, often getting himself into dangerous adventures. From what he remembered anyways, he felt like there was an important piece of information missing. One that was related to the watch that was still counting down, not that Kaz knew that either.

He did know it was important though. Figuring it was just the forethought to remove the watch before his shower and soak. Tugging at the watch to remove it, it wouldn't budge at all. Leaving him squinting as he looked at the bottom for the latch but found nothing at all. It... wasn’t supposed to be removed? Just trying to rotate it on his wrist didn’t work either, more curious as of a why then how in the moment.

“I won’t, don't you worry.” He called back, voice echoing off the bathroom as he started to remove his jeans and sat on the edge of the tub to turn that on first. It would be warm by the time he was done stripping.

Sticking her nose in the watex, Nyx jumped as Kaz laughed at the small dragon. Picking her up to gently hold her as her little legs paddled in the water. Looking up to Kaz with just terror in her eyes he awed. Pulling her back to his chest as he wiggled into the tub himself now, the water felt lovely against his skin. Leaning his head back he couldn’t remember the last time he had a nice soak like this, though part of his memory told him not long ago. It felt like an eternity or if he had never enjoyed the joys of a nice relaxing time in the tub.

“Alright, thanks.” Letting Nyx lay on his chest and pur away, he looked down at her as he closed his eyes again. SIlence following for a moment before his eyes blinked open and he turned to stare at the noodle who didn’t leave with Ix. “Won’t Ix get lonely without you though?”

Tilting his head to the side slightly, Drik seemed confused on why Kaz would think that before shaking his head. "Naah, he feels fine. He's reading right now so it'll be okaaay." Maaaybe there was that slight tug of loneliness coming from Ix, but he was distracting himself enough that Drik couldn't really tell for sure. He wanted his dragon to play and bother Kaz if he wanted. Besides, it was the perfect opportunity for them to be able to share their guest's physical condition under their clothes.

Wiggling next to the tub, the dark dragon reached in to dip a claw in. Swishing it around a little, Drik casually slid the whole armored hand in, looking like he was about ready to get in and join Kaz's bath if he wasn't stopped. "Besides, why do you care?"

“Someone has to take care of him, he seems lonely.” Kaz told the other, reaching out a hand to stop him as he wasn’t fond of sharing his baths. With his one dragon was one thing, with another dragon it seemed.... Strange. He was naked and all under the water, who was to say he wouldn’t go tell Ix all those juice details?

Squinting, Kaz’s pretty ball of fur was still purring away but didn’t seem as pleased as she was before. Even if newly hatched she could feel that slight discomfort from her rider. It wasn’t strong, but she could feeeeeel it. Letting out a loud meow, Nyx crawled across Kaz’s arm, battling at Drik for a moment before darting off. Maybe starting an impromptu game of tag to lure him away? As she dashed off and Drik didn’t follow she came back, nipping at his tail gently until he slipped back down. Looking after hsi strange cat dragon, he shooed Drik off.

“Go on now, she wants to play. Are you going to be so mean to the baby and not play?” He asked the noodle dragon, trying to convince him in a more subtle way to leave him be.

Not seeming to understand Kaz's worries, Drik was a pure bean despite his very not pure rider. There were people in the water, the water was warm, he wanted to be in the water, his only intentions being to relax with their new guests. It just confused him when there was a sudden hand in his face, making him freeze up at the gesture Ix would often use to get him to stop. He might not listen to verbal commands very well, but he obeyed hand commands to a tee.

"What? No! Of course not, I wanna play! I do!" he pouted at the accusation, turning right around to go chase after the kitten spider. There was still something left behind though. Even as Drik ran off to play with the kitten, something was off. That something would happen to be his shadow. It didn't move when he did, the companion not looking like it wanted in the water, but did simply stay beside Kaz for company. It was silent too at least as it laid on the bath's lip.

Smiling at the dragon as he was off to play with Nyx the distraction, he was settling back into the water while watching them when his arms moved across something dark in color. Pausing, he tilted his head as he sat back up. Watching the shadow who was having such a nice lay without it’s body near it.

“Huh... you’re a strange little shadow buddy.” Kaz felt as if he should be more concerned, but he felt as if he thought this was normal. It left him wondering if his forgotten dragons had something like this attached to it. He supposed he would remember when he came across them again. Nyx felt like he was his, so surely the other dragons would feel the same? He hoped so.

It left him curious why Ix had that strange belonging to him feeling, was there something important he was forgetting? Was Ixavier hiding something from him? He wasn’t sure... but he wished he knew. The strange boss left so many more questions then he did answers. He did have a month to get all those answers though, surely that would be plenty of time to sort it out... well... maybe not. Leaning back into the water, time could only tell.
