Chapter 13 - Sharing
-W-
My human had actually tried to reach out for me. Watching from within, it seemed clumsy and unsure, but he tried his hardest. My own understanding of how it all worked was limited, but I attempted to reach back out to him when I felt him searching for me, probing for me, until finally he almost seemed to recognize that I was there. There was this beckoning feeling.. he was calling out to me, calling for me.. he wanted me to come out. Without hesitation I surged forth and eagerly, almost greedily escaped the darkness and returned to the light. Yet again I was met with unfamiliar, new sights around me.
We were in the smallest room I had ever seen, even my vast empty void I called home felt more open. The lights were so bright, the walls were so sleek and white and everything looked and smelled wet. Even my human. Once more he was naked. He seemed to like being naked. I too enjoyed it, I did not understand why he would cover himself with those dirty garments. I would not care to cover myself in such things. He was dripping wet from head to his funny little pink toes, shivering a little even though the tiny wet room seemed overly hot, humid and steamy. The dampness immediately seemed to cling to my fur and weigh it down.
There was an oddly over fragrance scent that stung my nose pleasantly, but horribly. It seemed to be coming from him. Perhaps he had been trying to wash off that overly sweet scent. We both stared at each other for a time, he needed to speak because I could not.. but when he did, he really started talking fast. I tried to keep up with his questions and understand what he was saying, giving answers where I could. I was simply happy to be there with him in the tiny wet room. He offered me a drink and it was.. incredible. My body understood its own thirst and needs but it was the first time crisp, clean water had graced my tongue and throat and it was wonderfully pleasant. Unlike blood which was hot and raw and tasty, this was cool and satiated my throat more than anything.
It also brought about another feeling, one that I had ignored the last time I had been out in the woods.. but now with the vast swaths of water I drank I could feel it once more. When the human mentioned the need, I gave into it. Such relief.. another first for me. My bladder released and I unintentionally marked my human. Unintentional.. but he was now marked as mine, and it helped rid him of some of that horrid pleasantly-sweet smell that had clung to him before. He did not seem to appreciate what I did, and once more I was scolded. So many rules to learn with my human, but I would try my best to follow them.
He did not care for me marking him.. and he actually began to apply that horrendous sickly sweet smelling liquid to his body as if it were better? My nose stung from it, but I stood back and watched him wash himself in the bubbly, foaming stuff. It was amusing, he moved around so strangely as he rubbed himself. He seemed to want to use both hands but I held one of them and it was mine to keep.. so he made do with the other one. I attempted to help him and pushed the slimy block he had been rubbing on himself at him.. but it fell on the wet floor and washed away in the slight current. The look he gave me was of annoyance and reluctance to retrieve it.
I stopped attempting to help after this.
When he stopped the water's flow he reached for the wall and peeled it away.. making the room bigger in an instant! Why he did not do this sooner was baffling to me, but I was happy to have more space to stretch. The moment I stepped out of the water covered part of the floor and into the rest of the room he began to yell at me. Not entirely sure what he was saying as I shook my large body wildly to get all the water free from my fur. Most of it seemed to get removed well enough. When I turned to face my human again that look of annoyance had only grown stronger. The water itself hadn't been the most pleasant experience to soak in, but I must admit when he began to dry the both of us I greatly enjoyed myself.
Drying me consisted of ruffling my fur and rubbing me all over with the large cloth. He had to get another, because I soaked the first entirely through. Then another again for himself, but his small pink frame hardly held water at all. I shook again to share some of mine. He made it seem like a monumental task to dry me, which I suppose with one hand and my size it was.. but when we were finally finished he smiled at me.
"There.. finally. Okay we are not doing that again for a while.. I mean how dirty can you really get if you are only out for short periods of time?"
I didn't have an answer for him, but I licked his face appreciatively. He crinkled his nose and wiped his cheek with his free hand, before tugging me along with him, guiding me through his house.
Our first stop was a small room within his bedding room, he pulled garments from inside and struggled to slip them on.
He made a show of grabbing and switching the hands I was holding onto to get himself fully covered, "You are just going to make every task more difficult. Let's get this straight right now though, the next time I am going into the bathroom to handle my business you are NOT joining me for that particular experience. We don't have to share everything. Now.. are you hungry?"
He had asked me earlier and I wasn't, but I was starting to feel that urge again.. I worried about telling him yes, he seemed incredibly anxious about the question, it seemed like there was more he was waiting to follow up with. My head nodded slowly and he rubbed at the back of his own.
"Well.. does it have to be.. alive?"
