Counterspell on that.

[ He only pulls away to lean back against the bath with a stretch and immediately winces, laughing as the grooves down his back make him hiss in mild pain, splitting in the hot water. It's nothing he'd rather be rid of though, opening up an arm for Molly to settle in if he wants. ]

I could fall asleep right here, no joke. If I drown please let everyone know exactly why you're responsible.

[devilstongue]

I don't think you can drown right now, love.

[ Water breathing magic and all that.

Molly leans to Fjord as soon as the other man looks settled, chuckling slightly at the wince and gently rubbing an arm in 'apology'. ]

...but I know what you mean. I'm so comfortable that they might have to throw us out.

[halforc]

Oh, fuck. Yeah.

[ What the hell was he doing before he did Molly? He can't remember shit. He peppers kisses across a forehead, one for each ridge on a horn that he can reach without trying, letting him know he's fine and will be happy to feel those scratches for as long as they last. ]

We're going to be a pair of prunes. Oh! You'll really look like one, hah.

[ That's funnier than it should be, oops. ]

[devilstongue]

[ Few people remember what they were doing before they did molly, to be honest.

Mollymauk leans into the touch with a smile, feeling the sensitive skin by the horns get a kiss before traveling over the bone. Then Fjord deliver's that and he has to lean away to not gore the poor warlodin. ]

I'm a plum, thank you! You're the one with white in your hair!

[ He's a delicacy at least 27 years your junior, Mr. Fjord! ]

...and you're a more of a pickle.

[halforc]

[ Molly: an actual five year old in so many ways. ]

A fucking pickle? Wow. This abuse ...

[ Fjord wraps his arms around Mollymauk to rein him back in with a bear-hug, squeezing him gently. No goring, only cuddles as he murmurs into that dark hair. ]

Come here if you're my very own plum, let me see how sweet you are after bullying me like that ... !

[devilstongue]

[ Brat™ ]

I can't exactly call you a gherkin, that's more of a Nott.

[ He laughs, easily plucked into those arms and hugged. Molly's happy, which is new and exciting and a little scary at once. ]

You know I'm very sweet if you handle me correctly.

[halforc]

I might've learned a thing or two since you swooned into my arms in the kitchen.

[ That's how it happened. ]

[devilstongue]

You have some strange kind of charm to go from breaking someone's tail to having hot sex with them in less than an hour.

[ He wiggles the end of his tail a bit, the thin part by the spade unmarred thanks to the Wildmother's grace. ]

[halforc]

Never hear the end of that, will I? I'm sorry [ running his hands up Molly's back, ] that I broke [ leaaaaning in to plant a soft kiss on his lips, ] your very, very pretty tail.

[devilstongue]

[ Molly meets that kiss with a soft sigh of happiness, hands running through that dark hair to sweep a thumb over the white part. ]

Mm... apology accepted. I'm fairly sure it knew just how much you love it after that.

[ All that tail-play! ]

You're wonderful.

[halforc]

It's attached to someone I rather like, so ...

[ He tips his head into the touch, eyes closing as Molly's fingers sift through his hair and the water remains toasty around them. ]

Mmm, we should head back or you'll miss the girls leaving.

[ But first, more kisses, since they're in a beautiful bathhouse and no one is here to interrupt him lavishing Molly in affection. Getting out is hard. ]

[devilstongue]

Aw, fuck.

[ That was a thing. Something he had kind of forgotten in his decadent happiness of being in a fancy bathhouse on a fancy date with his fancy boyfriend. ]

You're right. I'll handle the tip if you sweet talk the manager again. I'm pretty sure he knows why we were here once you mentioned Marion, though.

[ Molly squishes his pecs together to make a cleavage. ]

Was I a good courtesan, Mr. Sailor?

[halforc]

[ He quite clearly is trying not to laugh as Molly poses for him, shaking his head at the display. Two fingers walk their way up that cleavage as he puts on his thinking face. ]

The very best ... and now you'll never see the Chateau again! You're mine!

[ Those would be comically amorous kisses all down Molly's front as Fjord wraps his arms around and sinks him enough to have his own head underwater, sweeping him around with a swoosh that creates waves over the bath's edge. ]

[devilstongue]

Gasp! Are you stealing me away from my work! Sweeping me off my fee- ahaha!

[ He laughs at the kisses and Fjord plopping under the surface, like he's some kind of siren with his prey. Then he's swooshed around and the laughter turns up to hysterical as he's splashing everywhere.

Children. ]

[halforc]

[ When he raises his head he does so with a flourish that flicks his hair back, grinning into Molly's space for a low, giggly kiss. ]

Claimed by the sea, buried in a bath ... !

[ A knocking at the door is the only thing that can distract him, immediately swirling them around on the spot in his surprise to cover Molly. Not that he needs to, it just ... feels natural. They're naked!

Fjord sighs. ]

I suppose we'd better get a move on.

[devilstongue]

[ Molly pouts at the interruption, but he's endeared by the half-orc's need to 'cover' him. like he's not naked on a near-daily basis. ]

Yeah. Let's get out, wash up and get going.

[ There were a few buckets to rinse off with, but he imagines the water is probably cold. One ridiculous sigh later, and Molly wades off to the stairs and gets out of the bath. Hips swaying just to be a dick. ]

[halforc]

Mmmrrrgh. Alright, fine! Fine, I'm getting out.

[ One large stretch later he dunks under the water just to get in one last swoop through the all-encompassing heat. He's treated to the sight of Molly walking away, naked and scratched up across the backs of his ass and thighs: Fjord has a little bit of a swagger as he passes him by, lightly swatting those pink-lined cheeks.

Gotta get dressed though, no time for retribution!! Not if he dances out of the way, at least. ]

[devilstongue]

[ Molly jumps at the swat, laughing and trying to get one in with his tail before he rinses off and heads for the changing room. Drying off with a super-soft towel is a luxury in itself, and he sighs at the feeling of fluffy cotton against his heated skin.

Once mostly dry, he starts slipping on his leggings (hard) and his shirt (easier) and pulls back his curls from his face to artfully slick them behind his horns.

He grins at Fjord and steals another kiss as they finish up. ]

[halforc]

[ Fjord has a much easier time getting dressed, not having to squeeze himself into skintight pants. He hovers by the exit and enjoys that stolen kiss all the way out into the corridor of the main foyer, the two of them radiating I Just Had Sex energy to the degree that no one at the front desk seems surprised to see them in such a good mood. Fjord reaches into his pouch of money and tips the manager three gold, more than the bath would have cost, and any impending talks the staff might have wanted to have about cleaning bills is abruptly dead in the water (hah).

Outside the sun is shining and morning is in full swing, hawkers on their way to the main market and streets full of colourful people, none of which are are beautiful as the red-eyed brat at his side. ]

Hungry on the way back?

[devilstongue]

[ Molly leaves a tip specifically fro the cleaning crew and then exits with Fjord, renewed and ready to start the day... even if it was a little later than usual, even for him.

He loves the feeling on the sun on his skin, brightening up into a smile like he's blooming. The weather's great, there's a new city to explore and Fjord just mentioned food. ]

Is there anything on a stick I should try?

[ You know, portable brunch. ]

[halforc]

I know just the thing.

[ He follows his nose to a fishy scent until a cart is tracked down selling fusaka fish on sticks, cutlets smothered in spice and fried in oil with a crispy golden exterior. He buys two, one for each of them, and offers Molly his arm again on their leisurely stroll back to the Chateau, sunshine blaring brightly over the bustling crowds.

Even through the crush, he leans over and gives Molly's neck a sniff with a smirk. ]

You still smell like vanilla.

[devilstongue]

[ It's quite a fun food idea, things on sticks, and the fried fish is delicious. Trying new things is the motto of Molly's, and he's loving it. Walking with Fjord and munching on the food, he smiles softly as the half-orc leans in to give a sniff. ]

Mm. I love it. I feel like a new person, all clean and smelling wonderfully.

[ Before they reach the Chateau, he disposes of the stick in a trash bin and then strides inside with Fjord. The girls are already waiting, Beau frowning a bit as they enter, while Jester smiles brightly and Yasha looks a little relieved. (Veth glares and comments that they were late.)

Molly turns and gives Fjord a kiss before he saunters over to hug yasha and then start planning which shops to visit. ]

[halforc]

[ Beau gets an unrepentant smile for that frown, to which a silent conversation is had between their eyebrows that leaves her snorting. Fjord accepts the kiss from Molly before wishing them all a fun time and heading upstairs to find Caduceus, pleased by the bright smile his offer brings when he asks if he can join him about town. By all accounts the day passes in a blur of activity, the wildbros returning in the late afternoon with two bags of plants for Caduceus to adorn Marion's balcony with.

Fjord does his rounds of the other rooms to see if anyone is back, a box of doughnuts with him. ]

Ho, anyone home yet?

[devilstongue]

[ Molly has a lovely day of shopping, sightseeing and squabbling with the girls, getting some errands done and even bothering Caleb and Yussa with lunch they bought for them. They have all returned when the wildbros come back; Beau and Jester are in their room (and Jester immediately makes grabby hands for the doughnuts), while Veth is hanging out with her family again. That leaves the circus kids, Molly draped in Yasha's lap in Marion's sitting room.

He smiles brightly as he sees Fjord, waving from his barbarian throne. The shell on his horn has changed, now more securely attached with actual chain and rings, and a bead of green sea glass added just before the hanging purple shell - which seems to have gotten a coating of something to make it less brittle and more shiny.

The tiefling also has a new outfit - something more traditionally Menagerie-an but with a Molly flair. A very low-cut shirt with billowing silk sleeves in shimmering colors, a pair of pants with slits almost all they way up the sides and a belt that definitely would make a jingling sound if he stands up. ]

Welcome back! Did you have a nice time with Wildmom?

[halforc]

We had a lovely day at the plant nurseries, yes. Look at you, you're practically a fancy southerner now.

[ Doughnuts are distributed via Jester as she sweeps the entire box from him and starts designating flavours. Fjord leans down to play with that dangling shell, now bejewelled and chained, to Molly's horn, delivering a peck of a kiss. He takes a seat on the empty chaise longue, hooking an arm over the side of it and stretching out with a groan to be off his feet; how Caduceus is still up and now gardening on Marion's balcony is beyond him. The sun has baked his biceps a slightly darker green when he itches a shoulder. ]

What did you guys get up to?
