[The bat chitters happily, nodding and flitting up to sit on his shoulder. She points over to the other side of the pool.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh, sure.

We going for a swim?

[He keeps his head and shoulders up above the water, careful, and kind of doggy paddles them over to the indicated spot]

[fleurescence]

[Once they get to the other side she hops off of him and poofs back into her human form, sitting at the edge of the pool and smiling]

Thanks Hurricane!

[crossmyheartandhope]

No problem, dude.

You have catch a ride as a bat on your card or something?

[fleurescence]

'Cross water with an escort'. Mostly I was just being a bat because flying was fun.

You got anything I can help you out with?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I had swim with someone... pretty sure that counts.

We can do another one, though, if you wanna.

[fleurescence]

I'm happy to help with more.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You mind if I wash your hair?

[fleurescence]

[..............that request is a little uncomfortable right now, but it's not like she has her powers and Hurricane isn't going to do anything, it's fine right? He's a good guy, he's probably safe to try and get over this issue with.]

Sure, I've got plenty of it to go around. Let me untie it.

[Taking all her hair decs out and pulling her braid loose]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Noticing the way that smile changed,]

...I don't gotta. Or, like. If you're worried it's gonna take too long, I can do just an end bit or something.

[fleurescence]

Oh, it's okay, I don't mind about the time. Shrinking down helps to reduce time spent on it a lot, but if you just want to do the ends that works for me. One sec...

[It'll take her a minute to find the end of her hair, but when she does she offers it to him.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ah. I mean... if you're sure you're sure.

[Hesitates, then takes a handful of hair. Hesitates - halves it]

[Scrubs just the very tips in the pool, and gives it back]

Annnd, done.

[fleurescence]

[Laughs, touched by how delicate he's being, she was right he was a good choice. Taking the hair back, wringing it out then starts fixing it up again]

Thanks Hurricane, I feel refreshed.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Figure this way you don't gotta spend forever re-washing it if they stuck chlorine in this thing.

[fleurescence]

Ooh, that would be a problem. Thanks for sparing me.

[crossmyheartandhope]

No problem, dude.

You need a hand with anything else?

[fleurescence]

I've got a tone left, you wanna take a selfie?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Let's do it.

[Leans in so she can take the picture]

[fleurescence]

[Smiling and snapping a photo of them.

She does not show up in it.]

...Yep, looks great.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...dude. Oh my god.

[fleurescence]

What, it's a perfectly normal lovely picture, exactly as planned.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Uh huh, sure it is.
