Dark blinked at the yawn. "Maybe we should head back home now." Dark did not mind the occasional camp out but they had not packed for it.

he looked to the sky then at the falls, he turned to the other and asked if they could return again. he was given a nodd and so agreed to leave. they packed their things and put on their shoes and headed towards home

The way back is slightly easier and they arrive hback at the house slightly after dark. "Good thing we got here now." Dark commented as he opened the door for Alexander.

"because of wolves?" he recalled what the other had said the day before

"Yep." Dark conferms. Dark places the dirty dishes and utensils in the dishwater.

he followed the other over to the sink. dark runs the faucet and puts all of their picnic things in the sudsing water. alexander is content to watch this display of domesticity

Dark finishes the dishes quickly. "Do you want to take a shower tonight or tommorrow?" Dark asked softly as he finished putting everything back in its proper place.

he froze. his mouth was dry and he didn't know why. he licked his lips and asked shyly "it is your choice. would you like to take shower today?" he did not want to hurt his lord but it was not he who was asking. he waited impaitently for the other to give an answer.

Dark shrugged, "I can take mine when ever, you can do it now and I can take one later or we could work somehting else out."

"oh..." was all he got out. he blinked. the other was giving him a choice? he looked dark in the eyes searching for the answer. he came back with nothing. "i...don't know." he was torn between his own wants and what he believed was best for his lord. though that the question was asked at all cast his thoughts on the matter into doubt

"You don't know at what time you want to wash?" Dark was confused had he worded that incorrectly or missed a que?

he was confused "wash? i thought you asked about taking shower" he felt oddly disappointed for not understanding but at the same time relieved he did not have to make a choice, making the wrong one would leave one or both of them unhappy and he had already done enough of that in a day to last the rest of his life with more to spare

Dark blinked and realized he had changed his wording by simply using a synom, "Wash, shower, and bathe have similar meanings and require almost the same thing to be done for each." Dark was trying to explain and failling horribly.

he had not known, though what they had done in shower was not how one bathed. he voiced his concerns "that is not how you bathe, it is not the same as taking shower at all but for the use of water"

"Well you get clean." Dark pointed out to tired for a conversation about weather or not bathing or showering were the same.

he opened his mouth to argue but saw the look on dark's face "you are tired"
