Alastor laughed, a light peal of sound that rippled through the air. Even to his own ears, it sounded different now, just shy of otherworldly. He noted, his shadow slithering across the floor to follow Lotte's movements around the room like an interested cat, that his connection to his power felt no different than it ever had. Fortunate. That wasn't really something that had concerned him, but it would have been an unpleasant discover to make, to be sure. What could hurt him now, he wondered?
The second burning swallow slid down his throat, flecked his lips, a damp glimmer he brushed away before Lotte turned back to him with the damp washcloth. Quietly, in the corner, is shadow pulsated silently. It was laughing at him - not mean in spirit, but amused.
His eyes fell shut, the briefest moment of indulgence. While he wouldn't normally hold with unsolicited touches, this was... Different. Unexpected. So bizarrely soothing now that he suddenly found himself with a body that could experience such things, it didn't occur to him to protest.
"Clever," he said behind that slow smile, a soft clicking sound in his throat, eyes shut and head tipped back under Lotte's ministrations. "But it's nothing to concern yourself with. "We'll be leaving here tomorrow, too. I don't intend to keep you here in this cesspit any longer than necessary - that wasn't our deal, now, was it?"
