Andreas let out a breath, backing off to the edge of the tub and resting against it with his eyes closed. He peeked one eye lazily open, watching Koda play with the bath toy.<br/><br/>Asalia returned a few minutes later with some towels and a status update. "Good work," the demon said appreciatively, climbing up out of the bath He allowed the Vampire Demon to help dry him off and wrapped the used towel around his waist. Then waited while his new pet was dried off. "Come on, then," Andreas said, speaking less forcefully than he had been, now that the bath had relaxed him (perhaps that was the main reason he took baths when he was usually spotless).<br/><br/>They came to Andreas's room on the second floor. It was lit well enough, but the walls were painted a red so dark it seemed black. Most of the furniture was made out of a similar deep red wood. It made the room feel warm and cozy, if a bit sinister and dark. Andreas's bed was a beautiful king size, with black satin sheets. Also, since Asalia had been prompt about following his earlier instructions, there was a new addition to his room. At the foot of his bed was a human-sized doggy bed, made out of a deep red satin. Affixed to the floor on either side of it were chains, their purpose yet unclear.<br/><br/>The demon strode to his bed where Asalia had laid out some night clothes for him. Unlike the rest of the room, these were white. In the middle of the dark-themed room, decked in his white silk pajamas, Andreas looked rather more like a ghost than a demon.<br/><br/>Asalia helped to redress Koda, and Andreas himself fastened on the new collar, careful that it was at a comfortable tightness. This simple acted seemed kind, coming from him. But then he lead the Wolf over to the doggie bed and fastened both chains to the collar, effectively restraining him there for the night, as they refused to unhook. Andreas didn't say anything to address this situation, and simply climbed into bed himself.
