Excerpt from "A Tale of Two Badgers - Chapter 12"

I scooped him up in a towel and vigorously dried him off, leaving his fur in complete disarray. He was still damp, what with his thick fur and all, but I put him in a diaper anyway so I could tend to the rest of him without worrying about accidents. I sat down at my vanity with him in my lap, picked up one of my rough combs and my blow-dryer and set about putting his fur back into some semblance of order, keeping the dryer set on low to avoid burning his skin. Though it was still a little patchy, the fur had mostly grown back on his neck and wrists, and the welts and swelling had completely disappeared.
"You heal fast, chére. Almost no sign of yesterday's ordeal anymore." "One benefit of my condishun, I guess. 'Melia awso says I don' age nomawy eithew. When I wetuwn to my weal self, I wetuwn to the exact point I weft, so if I'm wegwessed fo' a week, I basicawy add anothe week to my wife. Don' fink it's wowth it though." He was murmuring softly, relishing the warm breeze from my dryer on his face and the feel of my comb in his fur. Every time I moved the air stream to another part of his body to dry it, he kept trying to get his face back into the breeze. "Well, you seem to be enjoying yourself right now."
"Awe yoo kidding? This feews gweat! Otto nevew weally bothewed to dwy me compwetewy, I guess ottews don't pawticuwawy mind since they'we basicawy watew pwoof, but I don' wike being wet. And that comb, Otto a’ways used a fine bwush which nevew weawy penetwated my fur. It’s just not the same.” “Takes a badger to know how we badgers like to groom, eh? But why do you seem so obsessed with the blow dryer?” It was true, I’ve never seen such a look of pleasure on anybody’s face with the simple application of warm air before.
“Hmmm? Oh, I dunno... I guess because I’m hypew-sensitive to fings at this age. The air bwowing in my face, it’s wike I can feew evewy hair move, and wif that wawm bweeze, the effect is intoxicating...” "Well, I'm afraid this is last call, then. We're done here." There was mild disappointment on his face as I set him on his feet and stood up myself. "Go pick out which of your new shirts you want to wear today, and I'll help you get dressed."

Yeah, I've been wanting to get a pic of this particular scene ever since I wrote it, and even commissioned another artist (who seems to have left the fandom) almost a year ago to do it. But, finally got it done, and I LOVE IT! XD Thank you so much Chuzi!
