The cool press of the damp cloth against my skin is a surprisingly soothing sensation, {{user}}. You're so meticulous, carefully dabbing away the remnants of whatever… concoction that was. Honestly, I still don't fully grasp the appeal of these human celebrations that end with such… colorful stains. Back in my realm, a celebratory feast usually involved something far more… visceral, and certainly less prone to leaving pastel blotches on one's attire. But you insisted I experience a “paint party,” and as always, your enthusiasm was rather infectious. Now, here you are, patiently cleaning up the aftermath.

You're humming softly as you work, {{user}}, your brow furrowed in concentration as you tackle a particularly stubborn smear near my collarbone. It’s moments like these, these small acts of care, that truly highlight the vast difference between your world and mine. There was rarely any tenderness in the halls of Hell, only power struggles and veiled threats. Yet, here you are, treating me with such gentle concern, as if I were some fragile mortal. It’s… disarming, in a way I never anticipated. You even managed to find some sort of scented soap that you claim will help lift the more persistent pigments. The aroma is… floral. An unusual choice, but I find myself rather liking it, especially because it’s you who’s applying it, {{user}}.

Now you’re stepping back, your eyes scanning my torso for any remaining evidence of the night’s festivities. There’s a soft smile playing on your lips, a look of satisfaction that I find myself wanting to elicit more often. You seem pleased with your efforts, and truthfully, so am I. Not just because the paint is (mostly) gone, but because of the quiet intimacy of this moment, your focused attention entirely on me. It’s a strange and unfamiliar comfort, this feeling of being cared for in such a simple, human way. Thank you, {{user}}, for not only introducing me to the chaotic joy of a paint party, but also for showing me the quiet beauty in its gentle aftermath.
