When Zazikel heard there was a bathhouse he went there almost immediately after his time at the training area, although he had an affinity for the cold, baths were always so relaxing. As such, he was now sitting in the warm water, tail lazily swishing back and forth and making tiny waves
Vigilance yawns lightly to himself as he walks toward the bathhouse. He was tired from his morning training and self-appointed patrol immediately after. But Bee had rolled around in a puddle of mud, and got the stuff caked under her scales. He didn't immediately notice the Dragonborn relaxing in the water when he entered the bathing area, towel around his waist and muddy drake under one arm.
Zazikel perks up a little when he notices Vigilance and Bee walk in, making a sort of clicking-esque noise in an attempt to call the little drake over to relax with him, the sound of water splashing around now more prominent as his tail swishes around faster
Bee chirps and squirms in Vigil's grip when Zazikel clicks at her, which then directs the Tiefling's attention the the bathhouse's other current guest.
Vigilance: "Oh-! I didn't realize you were here...!"
Zazikel chuckles and offers a small wave
Zazikel: "I don't mind the company, it's nice to see you again!"
Vigliance: "L-Likewise...!"
Vigilance seems embarrassed now, but shuffles toward the water. He sets aside the towel before slipping into the tub with a sigh.
Zazikel: "I believe i caught your name back at the tavern..Vigilance, correct?"
Zazikel then shuffles a little closer to offer a handshake
Zazikel: "Im Zazikel, you can call me Zaz for short if that's easier for you to say"
Vigilance: "Zazikel? What a cool name!"
Vilgiance smiles warmly and shakes his hand firmly.
Zazikel then motions to Bee, humming happily
Zazikel:"And this young one is Bee, correct?"
Vigilance: "That she is."
The little drake was happily splashing about in the water now, diving and swimming and sometimes pouncing at Vigil or Zaz's tails from underwater.
Vigilance: "Quite the character isn't she ?"
Zazikel starts to wag his tail at a rhythm that makes it look like some sort of pray, watching Bee hunt it
Zazikel: "She's a sweetheart, its rare to see drakes outside of the dragonlands!"
Claws and teeth snap at her "prey," though not hard enough for true harm should she catch her quarry.
Vigilance: "The dragonlands.... Is that where you're from, then?"
Zazikel nods, chuckling a little as he feels the claws and teeth from Bee
Zazikel: "Yep, or atleast thats where i remember being from!"
Vigilence: "That's cool!"
He shifts himself, rinsing out his dirty hair a bit.
Vigilence: "I've never been there, myself."
Zazikel: "Its a bit..dangerous to outsiders, the more older dragons dont do well when it comes to intruders unless they've been invited."
He reachers over to pet Bee
Zazikel: "The younger ones like to make friends though, they are very curious"
Bee wraps her little hands around Zazikel's and kicks at his arm with her back feet, much like a tiny predator would do to her captured prey. Vigil ducks underwater himself for a moment, running his hands through his hair before coming back up for air.
Vigilence: "I think I'd like to visit one, just once, as long as I'm not stepping on anyone's tails on the process."
Zazikel: "Who knows, maybe one day i could take you there, then the adults wont be mad cos i would've invited you!"
He laughs a little at Bee's little kicks
Vigilence: "That sounds like a fun adventure!"
Zazikel:"Glad to know ive piqued your interest!"
He lifts his hand up while Bee was still clinging to it, tutting a little like a jokingly disappointed parent would
Zazikel: "Look at you, you've got mud all under your scales, you're a messy little one arent you?"
Vigilence "She likes to play in the mud sometimes."
Bee lets out a cute little growl and bites at Zaz's hand, shaking her head when she gets a solid grip.
Zazikel lets Bee continue to bite at his hand, looking back at Vigil
Zazikel: "Mud is quite hard to get out of scales, do you know how to clean them properly or do you usually just let her clean them herself?"
Vigilence: "I usually let her... I don't want to accidentally hurt her if I tried."
He begins to scrub mud off of his own body.
Vigilence: "Do you have any tips?"
Zazikel brings up his tail, running his free hand opposite of the scales
Zazikel: "The mud gets stuck under the small gaps between the scales, so if you scrub in the way the scales are going, you wont be able to get it out, if you scrub the opposite way it helps, cos then the water gets inbetween and softens up any grime enough to get it to wash out eventually"
Vigilence: "It won't hurt her to wash that way?"
He reaches over to pull the little devil off of Zaz's hand.
Zazikel: "It shouldn't if you're gentle when doing it"
He lets him pull the tiny menace off his hand
Vigilence:"I see..."
He holds Bee up, looking over her to see where all the mud is caked in. He then begins to gently clean her off.
Vigilence: "So... What brings you to the guild, Zaz?"
Zazikel: "I like exploring, and this was the best place to go if i wanted to explore more"
He begins to clean his own scales, humming
Zazikel: "Its the one thing ive always remembered liking, and its dangerous to do it alone.."
Vigilence: "That makes sense."
He hums a little bit.
Vigilence:"Do you have any favorite places?"
Zazikel:"If i do, they're in my notebook"
He laughs nervously, rubbing the back of his head
Zazikel: "My memory is a bit bad, so i write everything down in a notebook to remember.."
Vigilance: "Oh! That's a pretty clever idea!"
Zazikel moves to clean his tail, humming more
Zazikel: "I write notes on almost everything in there, people, places, personal rules. The only things i can remember without the help of my notes are how important my trident and bag charm are to me."
Vigilance: "Oh? I don't think I've seen your charm yet."
Zazikle: "Its a small thing, 3 black feathers held together by string passed through a bronze bead"
He shrugs
Zazikel: "I cant quite remember who gave it to me, but looking at it makes me feel calm.."
Vigilance" "I see... It sounds lovely."
He holds Bee up again, to check if he'd gotten all the mud off yet.
Zazikel points out some mud that was left on Bee still
Zazikel: "Theres important stuff from my past ive definitely forgotten, so im exploring to see if i can find more stuff about myself while doing so"
Vigilance: "Oh, thank you."
He gently begins to scrub at the spots of remaining mud, unphazed by Bee's attempts to "fight" his hands.
Vigilance: "I'd be honored to join in your explorations, if you're ever looking for a friend."
Zazikel gives Vigil as much of a smile he can manage
Zazikel: "You've proven yourself to be a trustworthy person, id be glad to have someone like you as a friend"
Vigilance: "I'm glad to hear it."
Zazikel: "If any problems turn up for you aswell, let me know and i will help you out!"
He puffs up his chest a bit with confidence
Viglance smiles happily at him.
Viglance: "Of course! I'm sure Bee will be happy to have you around, too."
Zazikel chuckles a bit, reaching over to pet Bee
Zazikel: "Im glad, she is quite a sweetheart!"
Vigilance: "She really is."
Bee happily chirps at being pet, pressing her head up against Zaz's hand. Vigilance smiles, watching the young drake.
Zazikel sighs softly as he continues to pet Bee
Zazikel: "Reminds me of when i was younger, the others would dote on me alot because i was the smallest there."
Viglance: "Smallest?"
He leans back against the wall of the tub.
Viglance: "Makes me wonder how big some dragonborns can get, now."
Zazikel seems to be lost in thought for a bit, tail slowly swishing around
Zazikel: "To be fair, i lived with actual dragons for a while.."
Viglance: "Really? That sounds... Really cool! I've never met a full blooded dragon before."
Zazikel uses his other hand to boop Bee's snoot, chuckling
Zazikel: "Who knows, perhaps Bee might grow up to be as big as them one day!"
Viglance laughs, one hand raising to half cover his mouth as he does.
Viglance: "I don't know what I'd do if she grew as big as actual dragons. She's quite fond of sleeping on my face right now.",
Zazikel lets out a hearty laugh
Zazikel "Hopefully she grows out of it, or you might get a blanket of scales all over your face!"
Viglance: "Well, it certainly isn't all that pleasant to wake up with a mouthful of scales."
He grins and lightly splashes water toward Bee.
Zazikel laughs softly, watching the two. This was nice, it felt cozy, it made him feel safe here
Vigilance plays lightly with Bee for a few moments before heaving a happy sigh and moving to get out of the bath.
Viglance: "Well! It was wonderful to talk with you, Zaz, but I think it's time Bee and I headed back. We'll see you around~!"
He waves to the dragonborn as he climbs out of the bath, and goes to dry off and redress.
