[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His skin deflates, leaving a saggy boy behind.*

“……..”

[professor-azran]

“Are you alright?! Did that hurt?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…It did not.”

*He pulls at his own skin, finding it comes off much easier.*

[professor-azran]

*He breathes out a sigh of relief.*

“Good… It looked painful to me.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He shakes his head.*

“It is akin to…cutting off hair.”

*He lowers his hood, getting some of the back.*

[professor-azran]

“I see…”

*His fingers brush his too-long hair tickling the back of his neck.*

“It would not hurt to find a barber, truth be told.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“Perhaps there is one in the next town…”

[professor-azran]

“That would be wonderful…”

*He sighs softly.*

“I would also like to rest in a town for a few days, if at all possible. I’m a little drained, being on the road so constantly.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“I would not mind that…”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles at him.*

“Do you need help with your peeling? I’ll be gentle.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His tail flicks.*

“…………..Perhaps.”

*Said in a sort of not really way. He peels a hand.*

[professor-azran]

*He’s aware of the tone, at the very least. He nods.*

“Ask me if you need the help. No worries.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods back, putting a hand up his sleeve to peel further up. He looks like a kid trying to do that trick with the sleeve. You know the one.*

[professor-azran]

*He glances every so often, just making sure he doesn’t need the assistance.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He’s got his little skin bag tied to his tree belt and everything, he’s got a full system for this.*

[professor-azran]

*He kind of watches like he’s in awe, a master at his craft. Woag.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*….. He catches him staring after a few minutes. He raises an eyebrow.*

[professor-azran]

*… He smiles.*

“You’re so pretty…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks.*

“As are you, Clayton.”

[professor-azran]

*He flushes pink.*

“I don’t think I will ever be used to you saying that…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“But it is true.”

*He reaches up, cupping his face in a clawed hand.*

“You are a very pretty man.”

[professor-azran]

*He leans into the touch, turning his head to kiss his hand.*

“As are you, my dear…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He inhales, then nods slowly.*

“…Thank you….”

[professor-azran]

*He grins, planting one more kiss before stealing his hand for his own to hold. He squeezes once.*

“….. Can you tell me more about your childhood?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks, then nods.*

"Is there anything…specific, you would like to know...?"

[professor-azran]

“Well… I know you did not have any siblings, per se… But was there anyone you were close to? Friends?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…I did, yes.”

[professor-azran]

“Would you like to tell me about them?”

*He rubs gently at Sarnax’s knuckles as they walk.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…In my earlier years… I was close to a group of four… Drita, Arsuqoxl, Ichishot, and Vish.”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles.*

“Oh? What were they all like?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I do not remember much… this was almost fifty years ago. Drita enjoyed rules, following and creating them. Arsuqoxl liked pretending to be an animal. Ichishot was a sensitive soul, and set himself on fire many times…. Vish was brave.”

[professor-azran]

*He hums softly, nodding along.*

“… They sound like a good group of friends. How did you fit into the equation? What were you like?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…I was quiet. I did not speak much until I was older. They…… did not seem to mind much.”

*He raises his lantern for a moment, looking into the flame.*

“…We grew apart after a time.”

[professor-azran]

“… Of course. That does tend to happen.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“…….What about you, Professor?”

[professor-azran]

“Ah… Well.”

*He clears his throat.*

“I had some… Acquaintances. But no one I would say I was close to.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods in understanding.*

“Well, it is good you have us, now.”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles softly.*

“It is good… I am thankful every day for it.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He tugs him down and kisses his cheek.*

[professor-azran]

*His pink cheeks turn rosy, and his smile grows. He plants one on the end of Sarnax’s snout.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He chuckles quietly, kissing his nose back.*

[professor-azran]

*He giggles softly, kissing his forehead next.*

“Handsome…~”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His eyes widen slightly, pupils enlarging.*

“…I enjoyed the way you said that.”

[professor-azran]

“Did you? Good. I intended you to.”

*His smile turns into somewhat of a smirk.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“You’ve succeeded..”

[professor-azran]

“If I made you feel even half as good as you do me when you compliment me, then I believe I have.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks, then takes his hand in both of his, lantern sort of third-wheeling.*

“I am incredibly lucky for you to have sought me out, or else I would have not met my two soulmates.”

[professor-azran]

*… He flushes bright red.*

“You think of me as your soulmate…?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“In our own way, yes.”

[professor-azran]

*He flexes his free hand, over and over again, a big stupid grin on his face.*

“I never thought I could be that for someone… I’m touched.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He slow blinks at him, then kisses his hand a few times, nipping at his index finger’s knuckle once.*

[professor-azran]

*!!!!! Slow blink back!!!!!*

*He crooks his finger up to scratch under Sarnax’s chin.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Ohhhhh his eyes shut. He leans fully into it, tail flicking happily.*

[professor-azran]

*He laughs softly, adding two more fingers for a proper scritch scritch.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Chirp. Chirp…*

[professor-azran]

*He coos, smiling.*

“I love all the little noises you make…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He cracks an eye open.*

“…You bring them out of me.”

[professor-azran]

“And I’m honored that I do…”

*One proper kiss to his lips.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He holds it for a few more seconds than needed, looking at him with soft eyes.*

[professor-azran]

*He smiles, cupping both of his cheeks and stroking his scales.*

“… Perhaps we can find a little theatre in the next town. Have you seen plays before?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I have.”

*If you count religious dances and the things they encountered in their expedition as such.*

[professor-azran]

“Perfect. I would love to take you and Shepherd to one, should we have the opportunity.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I would not mind that…..”

*He is barely listening.*

[professor-azran]

*He is so aware, and so endeared.*

“Alright… It’s a date~”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His tail whips around at that.*

“A date…”

[professor-azran]

“Mhm… A date.”

*He chuckles, scritching along his jaw on either side.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He leans into it like a big excitable doggy. His ass is kinda shaking with how much his tail wags.*

[professor-azran]

*Oh he is so endeared. Scritch scritch scritch, kiss kiss.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His eyes open slightly, looking up at him.*

“…I love you…”

[professor-azran]

*His eyes are shining.*

“I love you too, Sarnax…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He wants to kiss, but also. Scratches.*

…

*His hands find Clayton’s forearms, gently kneading.*

[professor-azran]

*He smiles, offering himself up to be Sarnax’s pin cushion.*

“Cute…~”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“……..Hm?”

[professor-azran]

*He laughs.*

“Exactly.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He leans up from his hands.*

“I did not hear what you said.”

[professor-azran]

“I called you cute, my dear.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“……….Oh.”

*His tail is going to fly him to space.*

[professor-azran]

*He nods, planting a kiss on the tip of his snout.*

“Let’s keep walking, hm?”

*He offers his hand out.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods, and takes it. Kiss to the knuckles.*

[professor-azran]

*Squeeze. He leads the way.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Does this to you next time you molt*

*His tail whips around at that.*

“A date…”

[professor-azran]

“Mhm… A date.”

*He chuckles, scritching along his jaw on either side.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He leans into it like a big excitable doggy. His ass is kinda shaking with how much his tail wags.*

[professor-azran]

*Oh he is so endeared. Scritch scritch scritch, kiss kiss.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His eyes open slightly, looking up at him.*

“…I love you…”

[professor-azran]

*His eyes are shining.*

“I love you too, Sarnax…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He wants to kiss, but also. Scratches.*

…

*His hands find Clayton’s forearms, gently kneading.*

[professor-azran]

*He smiles, offering himself up to be Sarnax’s pin cushion.*

“Cute…~”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“……..Hm?”

[professor-azran]

*He laughs.*

“Exactly.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He leans up from his hands.*

“I did not hear what you said.”

[professor-azran]

“I called you cute, my dear.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Does this to you next time you molt*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His skin deflates, leaving a saggy boy behind.*

“……..”

[professor-azran]

“Are you alright?! Did that hurt?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…It did not.”

*He pulls at his own skin, finding it comes off much easier.*

[professor-azran]

*He breathes out a sigh of relief.*

“Good… It looked painful to me.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He shakes his head.*

“It is akin to…cutting off hair.”

*He lowers his hood, getting some of the back.*

[professor-azran]

“I see…”

*His fingers brush his too-long hair tickling the back of his neck.*

“It would not hurt to find a barber, truth be told.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“Perhaps there is one in the next town…”

[professor-azran]

“That would be wonderful…”

*He sighs softly.*

“I would also like to rest in a town for a few days, if at all possible. I’m a little drained, being on the road so constantly.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“I would not mind that…”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles at him.*

“Do you need help with your peeling? I’ll be gentle.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His tail flicks.*

“…………..Perhaps.”

*Said in a sort of not really way. He peels a hand.*

[professor-azran]

*He’s aware of the tone, at the very least. He nods.*

“Ask me if you need the help. No worries.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods back, putting a hand up his sleeve to peel further up. He looks like a kid trying to do that trick with the sleeve. You know the one.*

[professor-azran]

*He glances every so often, just making sure he doesn’t need the assistance.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He’s got his little skin bag tied to his tree belt and everything, he’s got a full system for this.*

[professor-azran]

*He kind of watches like he’s in awe, a master at his craft. Woag.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*….. He catches him staring after a few minutes. He raises an eyebrow.*

[professor-azran]

*… He smiles.*

“You’re so pretty…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks.*

“As are you, Clayton.”

[professor-azran]

*He flushes pink.*

“I don’t think I will ever be used to you saying that…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“But it is true.”

*He reaches up, cupping his face in a clawed hand.*

“You are a very pretty man.”

[professor-azran]

*He leans into the touch, turning his head to kiss his hand.*

“As are you, my dear…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He inhales, then nods slowly.*

“…Thank you….”

[professor-azran]

*He grins, planting one more kiss before stealing his hand for his own to hold. He squeezes once.*

“….. Can you tell me more about your childhood?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks, then nods.*

"Is there anything…specific, you would like to know...?"

[professor-azran]

“Well… I know you did not have any siblings, per se… But was there anyone you were close to? Friends?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…I did, yes.”

[professor-azran]

“Would you like to tell me about them?”

*He rubs gently at Sarnax’s knuckles as they walk.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…In my earlier years… I was close to a group of four… Drita, Arsuqoxl, Ichishot, and Vish.”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles.*

“Oh? What were they all like?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I do not remember much… this was almost fifty years ago. Drita enjoyed rules, following and creating them. Arsuqoxl liked pretending to be an animal. Ichishot was a sensitive soul, and set himself on fire many times…. Vish was brave.”

[professor-azran]

*He hums softly, nodding along.*

“… They sound like a good group of friends. How did you fit into the equation? What were you like?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…I was quiet. I did not speak much until I was older. They…… did not seem to mind much.”

*He raises his lantern for a moment, looking into the flame.*

“…We grew apart after a time.”

[professor-azran]

“… Of course. That does tend to happen.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“…….What about you, Professor?”

[professor-azran]

“Ah… Well.”

*He clears his throat.*

“I had some… Acquaintances. But no one I would say I was close to.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods in understanding.*

“Well, it is good you have us, now.”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles softly.*

“It is good… I am thankful every day for it.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He tugs him down and kisses his cheek.*

[professor-azran]

*His pink cheeks turn rosy, and his smile grows. He plants one on the end of Sarnax’s snout.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He chuckles quietly, kissing his nose back.*

[professor-azran]

*He giggles softly, kissing his forehead next.*

“Handsome…~”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His eyes widen slightly, pupils enlarging.*

“…I enjoyed the way you said that.”

[professor-azran]

“Did you? Good. I intended you to.”

*His smile turns into somewhat of a smirk.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“You’ve succeeded..”

[professor-azran]

“If I made you feel even half as good as you do me when you compliment me, then I believe I have.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks, then takes his hand in both of his, lantern sort of third-wheeling.*

“I am incredibly lucky for you to have sought me out, or else I would have not met my two soulmates.”

[professor-azran]

*… He flushes bright red.*

“You think of me as your soulmate…?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“In our own way, yes.”

[professor-azran]

*He flexes his free hand, over and over again, a big stupid grin on his face.*

“I never thought I could be that for someone… I’m touched.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He slow blinks at him, then kisses his hand a few times, nipping at his index finger’s knuckle once.*

[professor-azran]

*!!!!! Slow blink back!!!!!*

*He crooks his finger up to scratch under Sarnax’s chin.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Ohhhhh his eyes shut. He leans fully into it, tail flicking happily.*

[professor-azran]

*He laughs softly, adding two more fingers for a proper scritch scritch.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Chirp. Chirp…*

[professor-azran]

*He coos, smiling.*

“I love all the little noises you make…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He cracks an eye open.*

“…You bring them out of me.”

[professor-azran]

“And I’m honored that I do…”

*One proper kiss to his lips.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He holds it for a few more seconds than needed, looking at him with soft eyes.*

[professor-azran]

*He smiles, cupping both of his cheeks and stroking his scales.*

“… Perhaps we can find a little theatre in the next town. Have you seen plays before?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I have.”

*If you count religious dances and the things they encountered in their expedition as such.*

[professor-azran]

“Perfect. I would love to take you and Shepherd to one, should we have the opportunity.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I would not mind that…..”

*He is barely listening.*

[professor-azran]

*He is so aware, and so endeared.*

“Alright… It’s a date~”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His tail whips around at that.*

“A date…”

[professor-azran]

“Mhm… A date.”

*He chuckles, scritching along his jaw on either side.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His skin deflates, leaving a saggy boy behind.*

“……..”

[professor-azran]

“Are you alright?! Did that hurt?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…It did not.”

*He pulls at his own skin, finding it comes off much easier.*

[professor-azran]

*He breathes out a sigh of relief.*

“Good… It looked painful to me.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He shakes his head.*

“It is akin to…cutting off hair.”

*He lowers his hood, getting some of the back.*

[professor-azran]

“I see…”

*His fingers brush his too-long hair tickling the back of his neck.*

“It would not hurt to find a barber, truth be told.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“Perhaps there is one in the next town…”

[professor-azran]

“That would be wonderful…”

*He sighs softly.*

“I would also like to rest in a town for a few days, if at all possible. I’m a little drained, being on the road so constantly.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“I would not mind that…”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles at him.*

“Do you need help with your peeling? I’ll be gentle.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His tail flicks.*

“…………..Perhaps.”

*Said in a sort of not really way. He peels a hand.*

[professor-azran]

*He’s aware of the tone, at the very least. He nods.*

“Ask me if you need the help. No worries.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods back, putting a hand up his sleeve to peel further up. He looks like a kid trying to do that trick with the sleeve. You know the one.*

[professor-azran]

*He glances every so often, just making sure he doesn’t need the assistance.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He’s got his little skin bag tied to his tree belt and everything, he’s got a full system for this.*

[professor-azran]

*He kind of watches like he’s in awe, a master at his craft. Woag.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*….. He catches him staring after a few minutes. He raises an eyebrow.*

[professor-azran]

*… He smiles.*

“You’re so pretty…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks.*

“As are you, Clayton.”

[professor-azran]

*He flushes pink.*

“I don’t think I will ever be used to you saying that…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“But it is true.”

*He reaches up, cupping his face in a clawed hand.*

“You are a very pretty man.”

[professor-azran]

*He leans into the touch, turning his head to kiss his hand.*

“As are you, my dear…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He inhales, then nods slowly.*

“…Thank you….”

[professor-azran]

*He grins, planting one more kiss before stealing his hand for his own to hold. He squeezes once.*

“….. Can you tell me more about your childhood?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks, then nods.*

"Is there anything…specific, you would like to know...?"

[professor-azran]

“Well… I know you did not have any siblings, per se… But was there anyone you were close to? Friends?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…I did, yes.”

[professor-azran]

“Would you like to tell me about them?”

*He rubs gently at Sarnax’s knuckles as they walk.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…In my earlier years… I was close to a group of four… Drita, Arsuqoxl, Ichishot, and Vish.”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles.*

“Oh? What were they all like?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I do not remember much… this was almost fifty years ago. Drita enjoyed rules, following and creating them. Arsuqoxl liked pretending to be an animal. Ichishot was a sensitive soul, and set himself on fire many times…. Vish was brave.”

[professor-azran]

*He hums softly, nodding along.*

“… They sound like a good group of friends. How did you fit into the equation? What were you like?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…I was quiet. I did not speak much until I was older. They…… did not seem to mind much.”

*He raises his lantern for a moment, looking into the flame.*

“…We grew apart after a time.”

[professor-azran]

“… Of course. That does tend to happen.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“…….What about you, Professor?”

[professor-azran]

“Ah… Well.”

*He clears his throat.*

“I had some… Acquaintances. But no one I would say I was close to.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods in understanding.*

“Well, it is good you have us, now.”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles softly.*

“It is good… I am thankful every day for it.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He tugs him down and kisses his cheek.*

[professor-azran]

*His pink cheeks turn rosy, and his smile grows. He plants one on the end of Sarnax’s snout.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He chuckles quietly, kissing his nose back.*

[professor-azran]

*He giggles softly, kissing his forehead next.*

“Handsome…~”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His eyes widen slightly, pupils enlarging.*

“…I enjoyed the way you said that.”

[professor-azran]

“Did you? Good. I intended you to.”

*His smile turns into somewhat of a smirk.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“You’ve succeeded..”

[professor-azran]

“If I made you feel even half as good as you do me when you compliment me, then I believe I have.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks, then takes his hand in both of his, lantern sort of third-wheeling.*

“I am incredibly lucky for you to have sought me out, or else I would have not met my two soulmates.”

[professor-azran]

*… He flushes bright red.*

“You think of me as your soulmate…?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“In our own way, yes.”

[professor-azran]

*He flexes his free hand, over and over again, a big stupid grin on his face.*

“I never thought I could be that for someone… I’m touched.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He slow blinks at him, then kisses his hand a few times, nipping at his index finger’s knuckle once.*

[professor-azran]

*!!!!! Slow blink back!!!!!*

*He crooks his finger up to scratch under Sarnax’s chin.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Ohhhhh his eyes shut. He leans fully into it, tail flicking happily.*

[professor-azran]

*He laughs softly, adding two more fingers for a proper scritch scritch.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Chirp. Chirp…*

[professor-azran]

*He coos, smiling.*

“I love all the little noises you make…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He cracks an eye open.*

“…You bring them out of me.”

[professor-azran]

“And I’m honored that I do…”

*One proper kiss to his lips.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He holds it for a few more seconds than needed, looking at him with soft eyes.*

[professor-azran]

*He smiles, cupping both of his cheeks and stroking his scales.*

“… Perhaps we can find a little theatre in the next town. Have you seen plays before?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I have.”

*If you count religious dances and the things they encountered in their expedition as such.*

[professor-azran]

“Perfect. I would love to take you and Shepherd to one, should we have the opportunity.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I would not mind that…..”

*He is barely listening.*

[professor-azran]

*He is so aware, and so endeared.*

“Alright… It’s a date~”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His tail whips around at that.*

“A date…”

[professor-azran]

“Mhm… A date.”

*He chuckles, scritching along his jaw on either side.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He leans into it like a big excitable doggy. His ass is kinda shaking with how much his tail wags.*

[professor-azran]

*Oh he is so endeared. Scritch scritch scritch, kiss kiss.*

*He blinks, then nods.*

"Is there anything…specific, you would like to know...?"

[professor-azran]

“Well… I know you did not have any siblings, per se… But was there anyone you were close to? Friends?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…I did, yes.”

[professor-azran]

“Would you like to tell me about them?”

*He rubs gently at Sarnax’s knuckles as they walk.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…In my earlier years… I was close to a group of four… Drita, Arsuqoxl, Ichishot, and Vish.”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles.*

“Oh? What were they all like?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I do not remember much… this was almost fifty years ago. Drita enjoyed rules, following and creating them. Arsuqoxl liked pretending to be an animal. Ichishot was a sensitive soul, and set himself on fire many times…. Vish was brave.”

[professor-azran]

*He hums softly, nodding along.*

“… They sound like a good group of friends. How did you fit into the equation? What were you like?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…I was quiet. I did not speak much until I was older. They…… did not seem to mind much.”

*He raises his lantern for a moment, looking into the flame.*

“…We grew apart after a time.”

[professor-azran]

“… Of course. That does tend to happen.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“…….What about you, Professor?”

[professor-azran]

“Ah… Well.”

*He clears his throat.*

“I had some… Acquaintances. But no one I would say I was close to.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods in understanding.*

“Well, it is good you have us, now.”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles softly.*

“It is good… I am thankful every day for it.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He tugs him down and kisses his cheek.*

[professor-azran]

*His pink cheeks turn rosy, and his smile grows. He plants one on the end of Sarnax’s snout.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He chuckles quietly, kissing his nose back.*

[professor-azran]

*He giggles softly, kissing his forehead next.*

“Handsome…~”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His eyes widen slightly, pupils enlarging.*

“…I enjoyed the way you said that.”

[professor-azran]

“Did you? Good. I intended you to.”

*His smile turns into somewhat of a smirk.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“You’ve succeeded..”

[professor-azran]

“If I made you feel even half as good as you do me when you compliment me, then I believe I have.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks, then takes his hand in both of his, lantern sort of third-wheeling.*

“I am incredibly lucky for you to have sought me out, or else I would have not met my two soulmates.”

[professor-azran]

*… He flushes bright red.*

“You think of me as your soulmate…?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“In our own way, yes.”

[professor-azran]

*He flexes his free hand, over and over again, a big stupid grin on his face.*

“I never thought I could be that for someone… I’m touched.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He slow blinks at him, then kisses his hand a few times, nipping at his index finger’s knuckle once.*

[professor-azran]

*!!!!! Slow blink back!!!!!*

*He crooks his finger up to scratch under Sarnax’s chin.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Ohhhhh his eyes shut. He leans fully into it, tail flicking happily.*

[professor-azran]

*He laughs softly, adding two more fingers for a proper scritch scritch.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Chirp. Chirp…*

[professor-azran]

*He coos, smiling.*

“I love all the little noises you make…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He cracks an eye open.*

“…You bring them out of me.”

[professor-azran]

“And I’m honored that I do…”

*One proper kiss to his lips.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He holds it for a few more seconds than needed, looking at him with soft eyes.*

[professor-azran]

*He smiles, cupping both of his cheeks and stroking his scales.*

“… Perhaps we can find a little theatre in the next town. Have you seen plays before?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“I have.”

*If you count religious dances and the things they encountered in their expedition as such.*

[professor-azran]

“Perfect. I would love to take you and Shepherd to one, should we have the opportunity.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*Does this to you next time you molt*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His skin deflates, leaving a saggy boy behind.*

“……..”

[professor-azran]

“Are you alright?! Did that hurt?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“…It did not.”

*He pulls at his own skin, finding it comes off much easier.*

[professor-azran]

*He breathes out a sigh of relief.*

“Good… It looked painful to me.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He shakes his head.*

“It is akin to…cutting off hair.”

*He lowers his hood, getting some of the back.*

[professor-azran]

“I see…”

*His fingers brush his too-long hair tickling the back of his neck.*

“It would not hurt to find a barber, truth be told.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“Perhaps there is one in the next town…”

[professor-azran]

“That would be wonderful…”

*He sighs softly.*

“I would also like to rest in a town for a few days, if at all possible. I’m a little drained, being on the road so constantly.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods.*

“I would not mind that…”

[professor-azran]

*He smiles at him.*

“Do you need help with your peeling? I’ll be gentle.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*His tail flicks.*

“…………..Perhaps.”

*Said in a sort of not really way. He peels a hand.*

[professor-azran]

*He’s aware of the tone, at the very least. He nods.*

“Ask me if you need the help. No worries.”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He nods back, putting a hand up his sleeve to peel further up. He looks like a kid trying to do that trick with the sleeve. You know the one.*

[professor-azran]

*He glances every so often, just making sure he doesn’t need the assistance.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He’s got his little skin bag tied to his tree belt and everything, he’s got a full system for this.*

[professor-azran]

*He kind of watches like he’s in awe, a master at his craft. Woag.*

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*….. He catches him staring after a few minutes. He raises an eyebrow.*

[professor-azran]

*… He smiles.*

“You’re so pretty…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He blinks.*

“As are you, Clayton.”

[professor-azran]

*He flushes pink.*

“I don’t think I will ever be used to you saying that…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

“But it is true.”

*He reaches up, cupping his face in a clawed hand.*

“You are a very pretty man.”

[professor-azran]

*He leans into the touch, turning his head to kiss his hand.*

“As are you, my dear…”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]

*He inhales, then nods slowly.*

“…Thank you….”

[professor-azran]

*He grins, planting one more kiss before stealing his hand for his own to hold. He squeezes once.*

“….. Can you tell me more about your childhood?”

[bathe-in-dragons-light]
