I still don't think you own a brush. [Ain.] I'll just have to settle with running my fingers through it! [Ain—]
You're quite the opposite of the only other owner I had. [That word should carry a sour note to it, "owner". It's a word that pets don't like, for obvious reasons. It means bad, evil things, that word, but Ain rather likes the thought of belonging to someone too much to stop.] She was quite... ah... Hm! Let's just say she wasn't too interested in my free will. I like you far better.
[Vash is nice and good and kind, and Ain will murder thousands for him if he really really has to— but for now, he's too busy being pampered, and thinking about all the ways he could pamper Vash in kind. Humans don't have any grooming rituals, do they? Like, they don't have feathers or fur to groom. So he can't do that.
...What do humans even do in the shower if they're not grooming, actually... They take like five minutes?? And they're clean? Meanwhile Ain has birdbrain to the max and that means baths consist primarily of getting his feathers wet and rapidly shaking them everywhere.
...
Huh.
Yeah, he has no idea how he's supposed to return the favour.]
