Kate opened the door slowly and poked her head in. "Thank you so much." She spoke as she entered. I know this is improper. You will find I break protocols a lot...at times rules have to be broken. Life is dull if you do not add a little excitement."<br/><br/>The mage placed a folded towel on the floor and settled to her knees. Kate picked up a bottle with white liquid. "Tilt your head back in the water. It must be weeks you were clean. You will feel human again. Are you human?"<br/>She braced his head and drizzled honey-clover shampoo over his hair. Kate handed him a hand towel to protect his eyes. She felt welts over his scalp and was very gentle massaging his head.. "Relax, deep breaths. I got you. Your not use to being touched softly. In time you'll learn my hand are not going to hurt you. Every time a door opens you will not be harmed."<br/><br/>Kate reached for a pitcher of water and tested the water. The water was was room temperature 83F. The mage carefully poured water over his head getting most soap out of his face. "I am going to was your hair three times before adding conditioner. It will help get the tangles out."<br/><br/>Kate applied conditioner and left it in his hair. "Your hair will feel extra soft. Lean forward for me so I can get to your back. Do not hide your pain. How much do you hurt."
