[ It's been years. His cycle is probably long gone by now, turned to rust and plastic or recycled once they started their work on the city. He'd been back once to look through the ruins of his old place, but hadn't found much worth or able to be salvaged. As far as he was aware, the entire building was condemned and was a smoldering heap on the ground while they rebuilt. Material things hadn't mattered as much back when things were so bad.

[ One arm loops around his shoulders to tug him in close and he sweeps Noctis' hair out of his eyes with a delicate push of his hand, already groping for the shampoo to squeeze it into his hand. When he has an adequate amount - a little more than he uses for himself because Noctis has so much hair, he starts working it through in careful, slow strokes so he doesn't pull any tangles that may have resulted from the dip. He's as methodical about this as he is with everything, careful to ensure no suds or water droplets get in his eyes or ears, leaning into Noctis' hands in turn. ]
