[They better hope they at least have the good sense to try not to drown. :|]

Yeah, that's right....kind of like a concept I've stumbled upon in my research-- yin and yang. You can't have light without darkness, day without night, and all that. It's rather poignant to think about.

[ HOPE IS WASTED ON THE HOPELESS but Squalo would probably climb out if he thought he was falling asleep so there's that. ]

I like that. [ A thoughtful noise. ] People get to keep their hands and reputations clean because someone else is doing the dirty work to support them.

[Mei might climb out and pass out naked on Squalo's bed-- but that was another situation to deal with. Later.]

Perfect descriptor for life, isn't it? I like it, too.

should we timeskip soon or something? this is getting pretty old askdhas

[ Sounds like a plan. ]

So. [ His voice's suddenly quieter, just a bit, and he opens his eyes to give the other a Look. There's both amusement and seriousness in it. ] Are you the light or the dark, Koumei?

[dishevelment]

[An interesting, and one that made Koumei's hands slow to a stop while he mulled over it. In his mind's eye he could see things that he knew he shouldn't even understand as intimately as he did-- the bodies of the dead and dying, the scrolls inscribed in magical characters that kept a body from decaying, a veritable army of soldiers awaiting his words...]

I'm not sure,[he murmured quietly, resuming his work.] I think I have a little of both, but doesn't everyone?

it's a wraaaaap

[ He snorts a laugh and relaxes again. ]

Answered like a true politician. Profound yet nothing exact. But I supposed you're right.

[ Anyway, they will continue to have lovely mutual hair care time. Once the conditioner's out of their both hair, Squalo just might decide to straddle the other man and suggest they try it "the other way". Then we have a *CENSORED* segment, then they'll finally make it out of the bath, dry off, dress and go to actually "compare notes". Which also includes a lot of hair brushing, especially for Mei, since Squalo is determined to get that mop in order. They probably doze off somewhere in the middle, but before that they manage to determine that they see different "worlds" - or maybe times - in those dreams/visions they've been having. Though it appears that a few people share theirs, like Squalo and He Who Must Not Be Named, or Koumei and his maybe-brother, while a lot of others don't seem to. How interesting. ]
