Sam was in hot water up to his neck. This time, however, the hot water was entirely literal; he sat mostly submerged in one of the hot tubs in the bathhouse, eyes half closed and relaxed enough to be zoning out. He'd relaxed into his partially-humanoid form as well, letting his wings spread out to soak comfortably in the unoccupied space, his short green-and-cream fur fuzzing out in the hot water.
He always wondered, when he came back to the institute, why he stayed away as long as he did in between visits. The luxuries available here were a pleasant perk to existing as a demon, and he didn't have to be pent up in a limited human form.

Nuru shed his clothes as he tip-toed into the the baths. Bare blue fuzz and skin all soon exposed to the heavy humid air, both refreshing and invigorating to him. It seemed at first as though he was alone but the soft trickling sound of a body shifting in water drew his attention over. It was a demon he had not met yet.
He crept closer and closer, moving to keep out of their line of view at all times. Moving up behind them curiously, he noticed their wings floating on the surface and scratched his chin. It seemed as though everyone but him was blessed with such appendages.

Sam moved one ear. Had he heard something? The quiet of the bathhouse was interrupted mostly by dripping water and the occasional sound of the pipes as someone turned a shower on or off. It was probably just that. He sank down further until his nose was just above the water, emitting a couple of bubbles.

Nuru crept ever closer the more Sam seemed to relax. Curious mostly at who and what this demon was. What he represented. What he might be like.
He started to lean over the edge of the tub for a better look, unfortunately the bubbles concealed the majority of their form. Leaving only the top of their head and floating appendages for inspection.
He rested his chin on the warm edge and simply watched them rest, watched as breaths almost imperceptibly drew in and out and then muscles easing and tensing as muscles were apt to do.
Still. He couldn't help but want to see more. He glanced around the room before suddenly climbing up and plunging into the warm bubbling waters.

At the sudden splashing intrusion, Sam shot straight up, baring a mouthful of sharp, jagged teeth in a loud snarl, his hands coming up to display long black claws on fingers that seemed to be covered in blood. The red was simply fur, though; real blood would have washed away easily enough. "What the ********!"

Oh. Nuru froze mid-entrance to stare in surprise. That was certainly an unexpected response. After the initial shock however, the demon resumed slipping into the bath, leisurely melting right into its comforting embrace.
There were red markings too, he'd mentally noted with continued surprise. There were more secrets to be found, he was sure of it.
"Allo," he waved a clawed hand cordially and flashed his own razor sharp teeth, with his attempts at a warm smile. It wasn't all that comforting.

Sam rumbled an irritable growl, but the bluish male's calm, non-aggressive response cooled his anger. "Don't ********' sneak up on a guy," he growled, and subsided slowly back down into the water, claws retracting and the ridge of fur on his spine settling itself as he relaxed somewhat.

Nuru curiously watched as Sam's rage seemed to subside, everything about him akin to a cockerel that just realized it may have just been puffing up at its own reflection. He slooowly stretched out, taking up quite a bit of the little space that separated them.
"Ya got wings," Nuru commented not so nonchalant. "Flyin' nice?"

Sam shoved a foot at Nuru's foot as it encroached on his personal space, defending his bubble. His wings pulled in slightly at the question. "Uh huh," he answered. "I like it." Truthfully, he didn't fly very frequently; when he did, it was generally at night. The dark sky and the feeling of night air on the membranes of his wings pleased him. "You don't, huh," he commented, looking Nuru up and down.

At the foot shove, Nuru promptly spread his arms out and attempted to slide one around Sam's shoulders and tug him close.
"Not a mon of manneh words are ya?" He smirked with amusement. He decided not to comment on his own lack of wings even when it was specifically brought up.

Sam didn't dodge the arm, but his claws slid back out, and if or when Nuru attempted to sidle closer he would find those claws pressing lightly but pointedly against his side. "Words," Sam grumbled, "too complicated," and then demanded, "what're you trying to do here?"

Nuru absolutely slid closer and very quickly felt Sam's sharp prickles. Unfortunately, he did not seem too terribly deterred by the gesture. Instead, he smiled. "What am ah tryin' ta do?" he repeated with a bit of a croon. "Ahm tryin' ta intrahduce mahself."

Sam flexed his claws, digging in lightly, not quite enough to break skin. "Uh huh," he said. "What body parts you tryin' to introduce first, huh? How 'bout we start with what to call you?"

"Nuru, but ah taught ya jus' sai' words bein' complicated," He was still not put off by the claws. If anything he seemed a little too interested in the threat, even pushing back slightly more himself. Maybe blood might just have to be drawn.

"Gotta have something to call you, unless you want me callin' you a*****e or some such." Sam's claws flexed a little harder, scratching lightly. "You can call me Sam." He wasn't yet sure if this guy wanted a fight or something else, but he was interested in finding out despite himself.
