Tenderly, Ree touched the muscles on the others back scrubbing in small circles. The answer to Yianni's next question lay stuck in his throat. His fingers climbed up his spine. “She is our mother.” He wished the other would just let them bathe in silence. He felt strange, like he was being inquired by police.

Ree did as the other requested controlling his touch so that the cloth graced the delicate skin with a slight touch. The information about his mother while strange that he shared, not wholly unexpected. “What is it like to have others do things for you and to live in such a big space you can not fill it?”

Ree flinched back at the sudden movements dropping the cloth. .His long leg moved out of the way and arched its self over the boys giving him more room to sprawl out. “Surely you have other royal friends, a court... some one you can talk to... an adviser?” He picked up the cloth again reaching out to take the others arm. He lifted it into the air giving him access to the nobles pale chest. He let the idle hand fall to his shoulder so that he could steady himself, curling his fingers around the edge of the bin. Ree reached forward giving him access to the full curve of Yianni's chest. He paused. “... what is your name?”

He hesitated, wondering how much he should let the royal know about him. “ReeazuhKuss” He said like some one reading out a for the first time. It was always how he learned to say his name even though he recognized the letters he could never write it out in spelling. He smiled “....Kaiiorotha... Yexiall...you are clean.”

Ree nodded opening his mouth until he saw the strange gesture. The space inside the tub was too small. He tried to look any where but at the young man that was now looming over him. The darken flesh flushed red inside the water. “I prefer to be called Ree. It helps me remain anonymous.” he swiped at his abandoned cloth and started to wash himself. “There are clothes on the shelf and a towel.” He said gruffly hiding what he could with his cloth and the small attempt to clean himself.

He studied the other and it felt like something dropped in the pit of stomach. His face reminded him of when a new brother gets blamed for doing something wrong. He sprang out of the tub dropping his cloth that hid him. “Kais... whats wrong?”

He tipped over the tub trying to chase after the other. He tackled him before he could make it back into the main area of the house. “No.. you... you will scare the children.” He whispered harshly.

He grabbed the other by the ankle not letting go. He pulled the body back towards him causing it to fall again. Once Kais was down he scrambled to pin him again. He breathed heavily. "Stop trying to run away."
