Faolan meets Lily's eyes and tries to convey to her that he's not getting any pleasure out of torturing her like this, believe him on that one, and that he's sorry for what he's going to have to do next. Then he reaches forward and, making sure she's firmly held in place, tilts her head back and shields her eyes so that he can get her face wet and the ruff surrounding it. Taking care not to get water in her nose or her ears as well. He'd never had a pet dog for himself before, but he's been around them and certainly had to bathe one or two before.

He takes care to reassure her that she's a good girl as he does. For every moment that she keeps still for him, he makes sure to reassure her for her patience. Though he makes certain not to keep the water in her face for longer than he needs to. Once he's done rinsing her front to the best of his ability he pulls back, fully anticipating for her to shake the water back into his face for his efforts.
