Gaja replied with a soft cooing sort of sound. Once the water started, he shifted the bathtub, spreading his wings to aid Cian in getting the ash off. This all could've been easier if he just shifted into his human form. Alas, he is but a bird and, in this moment, was not capable of holding more than a handful of thoughts.

The warm water felt good. Gaja clicked and chittered happily, though still quietly, under the spray. He was careful to only shake himself a little so as not to splash Cian in the process. Please don't think him less dignified a creature if he does play a little in the water.
