✢ When the idea of bathing together is first proposed, Laios is greatly flustered by the idea of being nakey with you
✢ However, it immediately becomes one of his favorite things to do with you, especially at the end of the day when all you want is relaxation and a good cleansing
✢ He’d love to help wash your back and the areas you can’t reach, gingerly scrubbing your skin to rid it of grime
✢ He’d also like threading his fingers through your hair, spreading the shampoo and conditioner evenly while massaging your scalp
✢ You’d do the same for him, having him facing away from you in between your legs as you tenderly massage and even out the shampoo/conditioner
✢ He immediately melts into your touch, soaking deeper into the bubbles as he revels in your presence
✢ Laios is the type of man to cry when you do this, feeling so loved and cared for by you who takes the time to make sure he’s all clean
✢ Sometimes Laios might play around with you in the bath, splashing water or blowing soap in your direction
✢ He’d also do those hair/beard styles with the bubbles, making all kinds of goofy expressions at you (he’d especially try to mimic monsters)
✢ Laios might own a rubber ducky or two in a modern au, having it displayed on the corners of the bathtub
✢ You and Laios would rant to each other about anything, from gossip to fixations, it’s such a nice way to unwind
✢ When the two of you are finished bathing, he will offer to help dry your hair, using a towel and then a comb to untangle any knots
✢ If you have a skincare routine, Laios would love to take part in it, inquiring about the different products and what they’re for
✢ In the end, he smells like sage, an earthy yet slightly sweet scent
✤✤✤✤
✢ It would be hard to convince him to have a bath with you, but he’d crack eventually
✢ He’s keen on helping you scrub your back and wash your hair, thoroughly scrubbing and rinsing the suds off
✢ Chilchuck is the type to dump a bucket of water over you to rinse the soap off…
✢ A small play fight might break out between the two of you due to his sarcastic and mean attitude, you know better though
✢ Trying to wash his hair would be a challenge for you, he wouldn’t let you touch it, persisting that he wash it himself
✢ When he has difficulty reaching his backside, however, he begrudgingly lets you help scrub him down
✢ The aroma of the bath salts and the steam from the water relax the both of you, Chilchuck sinking into your side subconsciously
✢ The two of you take the time to chat a bit (about the other’s day, what to eat for dinner, etc.…), basking in the silence when the conversation goes dry
✢ After the two of you wash up, you ask him if he would like to comb out your hair, maybe even style it if he wants to
✢ With a roll of his eyes, he gently combs through your hair, being mindful of your ears and how hard he might tug
✢ Depending on your hair length, he doesn’t mind braiding it or putting it up despite his complaints about there being a lot of hair/shedding
✢ If you have a skincare routine, Chilchuck would only take part in a bit of it, not fond of the texture that's on his face after applying multiple products
✢ He’ll ask questions here and there about the products, finding out their purpose and the ingredients used in making it
✢ If his daughters are into that sort of thing, he’ll ask you for your recommendations so he can gift it to them
✢ In the end, he smells like pine trees, an earthy and fresh scent
✤✤✤✤
✢ When you ask Marcille if she wants to bathe with you she’s ecstatic !!
✢ She loves baths and rambles about how it's important for casting spells, etc…
✢ She’ll jump at the opportunity to scrub your back for you, in fact, she wouldn’t mind scrubbing all of you, finding solace in taking care of your wellness
✢ Marcille especially loves doing your hair, threading her fingers between your locks to make sure the shampoo/conditioner covers every strand
✢ She’ll throw in a little scalp massage, loving the feeling of you sinking into her
✢ When you offer to do the same for her (scrubbing and doing her hair), she can feel her heart beating out of her chest
✢ She’s buzzing with energy before you start, eventually relaxing into your touch with a satisfied sigh
✢ Marcille is definitely the type to use bath salts and herbs, teaching you about their benefits for the body and mind
✢ She would have a eucalyptus bundle hanging from the showerhead, further enhancing relaxation
✢ When the two of you are finished washing up, she’d ask if you would want to dry her hair for her with a small flush on her cheeks, she wouldn’t mind if you decided to brush through it as well…
✢ She’s practically putty in your hands, melting into your tender touches with pink cheeks and a dopey smile
✢ Of course, she’d return the favor by drying your hair as well, offering to comb through it if you want
✢ If you have a skincare routine, have no fear for Marcille also has one !! (definitely a skincare girly in modern times)
✢ She’ll inquire about the products you use while also showing you hers, the two of you would probably delve into a conversation about skin care products and cosmetics (your favorite brands, the brands you hate, etc.…)
✢ In the end, she smells like lavender and vanilla (sometimes she might smell a bit lemony/fruity), a soft and floral scent
✤✤✤✤
✢ …This guy doesn’t even take baths…
✢ You’d probably have to throw him in to get him to bathe
✢ You’d let him wash up on his own but insist that you wash his beard and hair so he isn’t half-assing it
✢ You take your time thoroughly scrubbing through his beard and hair, making sure all the dirt and grime come out (can’t risk him having fleas or something)
✢ Even though he grumbles in the beginning, he quiets down and relaxes in the water, his muscles easing from the tension
✢ When he’s finished washing up, you’ll help trim his beard or shave any stray hairs, ensuring that his hair and beard are well-kept
✢ You offer him some of your skincare products, but he usually declines, not really interested in it until you start listing the effects it has on the body
✢ Senshi only lets you put a little on him though, not liking the feeling of multiple products on his skin
✢ You’d probably rub in some beard oil as well so his beard doesn’t end up drying out and stuff
✢ In the end, he smells like coconut and vanilla, a sweet and creamy scent
✤✤✤✤
✢ …Have mercy…
✢ It might be a little hard to have Izutsumi let you bathe her, insisting that she can do it herself (plot twist, she needs help with the knots in her fur)
✢ So she begrudgingly lets you help her, giving you strict rules to not do anything weird which you assure her that you aren’t some kind of freak (stares at Laios**)
✢ You’d take your time carefully combing through her hair and fur, making sure not to miss any spots
✢ She’d hesitate before letting you rub shampoo/conditioner into her hair, gradually leaning into your touch with a small purr rumbling in her chest
✢ You’re mindful of her ears and tail, avoiding getting water or soap stuck in her eardrums and crossing the line by touching her tail
✢ Izutsumi wouldn’t really know how to help you with your own stuff, so you’d just have to wash your hair and scrub your back by yourself
✢ When the two of you are done, she lets you pat her dry with a grumble, whining about how you’re just like her old party members
✢ You’d sit her down and comb through everything again, making sure there’s no knots
✢ If you have a skincare routine, she’s not really interested but would probably try a face mask with you
✢ She’d end up laughing at you, saying you look like an oni
✢ In the end, she smells like petrichor (rain), an earthy yet unique scent
