Description

Panel One: DJ is standing next to Cal, and gesturing towards a row of tubs. "Better?" he asks.

Panel Two: Cal smiling as he relaxes in a tub. He's resting his head on a towel on the edge of the tub. "Much better," he says.

Panel Three: Cal sits up suddenly, glaring. "Ah, crap!" he says. What?" asks DJ, who is resting in the neighboring tub. "All my bath stuff's still in the cart."

Panel Four: DJ hands Cal a bar of soap. "Here. Just use mine," he says. "Thanks!"

Panel Five: Cal is looking at the bar of soap with a small smile on his face. He thinks, " Hmm... Dark blue and purple swirls, with night-blooming jasmine... Lavender... And musk. Yep, this is 'Moonlight Serenade'." Off-panel, a voice calls out, "Hey, DJ!" DJ looks up questioningly as the voice continues, "I heard you got a roommate!"

Author Note

Yay! Cal has something nice happen to him! It was so good to draw happy, relaxed Cal. Probably the first real bath he's had in a while, and the most relaxed he's been in weeks. And while the recognizeable soap is probably a bit bittersweet, having something familiar in his hands that his family made feels good, I'm sure.

Also, wet-hair DJ feels like a Mood. Not sure what kind, but it's definitely a Mood.

The story continues next week! I'll be taking the next few days off streaming, but I'll be back online Saturday.
