Abultion def: the act of washing oneself.

This whole chapter is one big Sweeney Todd reference if you’re familiar with the stage show at all- though I can heartily promise that there will be no throat slitting, cannibalism or knife play beyond the Butler being trusted to shave the young master in this comic. Personally I couldn’t stand the idea of someone else that close to me with a sharp blade- when I did an amateur production of Sweeney last year half of my rehearsal time was learning to not flinch from the (very blunt) blade and act like I got wet shaved all the time.

This story is more a back story of the characters than the straight (ha!) up porn of the last chapter. Warnings for guilt, power dynamics and sadomasochism!
