After a while she sat up and looked at Ashe, "Its about time we head back." She said smiling at him, He nodded in agreement, she really didn't want to go, but she knew should, so she got up and got on Ashe's back, she strapped her legs in, Ashe got up slowly, then he spread his wings and with a few strokes was airborne, not happy with leaving just as it was, Ashe dived towards the water, then he turned on his side, the tip of his wing skimmed water and Ember laughed, "You can't just get up and leave, you always have to get attention!" she scolded him playfully, but then they took off, flying back to the stables, he landed in his stable, and Ember unstrapped her legs and got off, She unstrapped his saddle and took it off, Ashe stretched gracefully without the saddle restraining him. Then he settled down and laid down, Going outside of the stable with a bucket she filled it at a Water pump, then she took it back to Ashe who drank gratefully, then she refilled it again and he drank more, then she refilled it a third time, and she got a rag from a shelf by the saddle, then she sat by Ashe and dipped the rag in water, then she started cleaning the dirt and grime off his scales, He had been to the mud hole again she knew, and she smiled, he began to softly sing, it drifted out into the streets where several people stopped to listen, Ashe occasionally shifted when she was finished cleaning one part, She scrubbed into the evening, when she was finished she got up and dumped the water down a hole, it lead directly to the sewers, then she kissed Ashe on the head and bade him goodnight, she headed back to her room to have a bath and retire for the evening.
