[Yes that's right, there's nothing to mind here, definitely not. The scrubdown is actually surprisingly soothing too, once he gets used to the touch, and Xie Lian finds his eyes slowly closing as he lets himself enjoy the soapy massage.
...Until Shino's hands start moving towards more personal areas, at least. He can handle the chest! Kind of! But once the touch passes his ribcage this raccoon is going to start Wiggling in an attempt to kind of nudge himself away without outright jumping out of his seat.]
Er, Shino, aren't you...maybe I could try washing the rest myself? This form has fingers, so surely it shouldn't be too hard, right? [Right!?]
[ Shino pauses with the words and the Wiggling, blinking because at first, he has no idea what Lian's talking about. When he does, he swiftly pulls his hands away. Oh, oh no, Lian doesn't like certain... anythings, and he's probably thinking Shino's trying to get... what's the word for that even? Trying to flirt?
... With a raccoon?!
No, that's stupid enough he shakes himself out of that thought. It's a lot simpler, really. Getting fully bathed by someone else is probably just weird. ]
Yeah, sorry, old habit. Let me know if you need more water on your belly.
[ Shino's at least wetted down while Lian has continued soaping up, so aside from cringing away so soap doesn't get into his eyes, he's actually laughing at the process. ]
Hey, hey, no fair! I don't need extra soap!
[ With the same grin, he's back with the showerhead, this time putting it right over Lian's coon head without reservations. ]
I'll get your back, you handle the rest~
[ He sing songs, continuing to sing a nonsense song of rinsing all the soap off, down the drain it goes, bye bye dirt and stuff, clean is better as we know~
All the while running water from the back of his coon head down his back proper, using nails to scritch and encourage the soap to come right out. He pauses when he's managed Lian's back and part of his sides, since... that's how backs work! To ask: ]
Want me to do your tail or do you want the showerhead back?
[ Mind, he's sitting there with his hair shampoo'd and twisted up on top of his head like some kind of goofy soft serve ice cream, because he's letting it sit. Like the bottles say to do. Does it really matter? He doesn't think so, but it also keeps his hair out of the way for now. ]
[The nonsense song is very silly and he'd laugh if that was a thing raccoons did (also if his head wasn't currently getting showered on). He tries to assist at first, little paws raising to try to get at his head and back, but one, i's difficult to reach his back from this position, and two....the scritches are nice. His eyes are closed for more reasons than just to prevent water from getting in them.
Xie Lian's coon ears prick up at the question though, and he once again shakes--mostly just his head this time, but he can't help if that shake happens to shake a little more than that.]
I think I can handle that much! Though I'm not sure how well I can handle the showerhead in this form. [Reaching out anyway? Maybe he can do it!]

Right! Thank you, I...I'll make sure to ask if I need it! Yes.
[He's never tried washing this much fur before but surely he can scrub the rest of himself just fine, right? Right.
And when he's done he'll shake himself and get soapsuds all over Shino, because. Instinct.]

[ Shino offers, but he does allow Xie Lian to try and take the showerhead first. ]
