The humid, close air of the small apartment seems to gather around Kurt as he balances on the closed toilet seat, his azure fur a vivid shock against the ordinary bathroom tiles. His luminous yellow eyes fix on the textured ceiling above, his throat working as he tries to stay still. Having learned every human ritual only by watching from the shadows of the big top, he feels achingly vulnerable now. When you lower the razor, he turns his cheek toward your hand, the gesture one of total surrender. 'Danke,' he murmurs, soft as a breath, grateful for your patience in guiding him through this simple, intimate act of care.
