butch pixie mechanic who loves to crawl inside engines and work out what’s going on, but gets absolutely filthy with grime and engine grease. clicking my tongue and pinching one of their wings when they try to come inside like that, shaking my head. filling a bowl with warm water and soap and stripping off their little mechanic jumpsuit, ignoring their squeaks of protest. holding them in the water and washing them, using a soft toothbrush to scrub off all the grease. they relax eventually, the heat of the water soothing their sore muscles. by the time they’re clean, wrapped up in a fluffy warm hand towel, they’re all limp and sleepy and their wings are still too damp to fly, anyway. so i tuck them into my bra to nap while i go about my day
