Ace wasn't exactly expecting a yes so he stood there a sec trying to regain himself before following her into the shower "Huh....it still seams big even with two ponies" he said seeing how much room they had to move around with
Max smiled and chuckled. "Well, these rooms were for senior doctors, most of who tended to be on the mature and... horizontally challenged, side of things." She explained, trying to choose her words carefully. Saying the shower had been designed for fat old stallions seemed a bit disrespectful.
Ace smiled and grabbed the twenty year old soap and smelled it Then read the expiration date "Pfft thease ponies didn't know what they were talking about, it still works and smells nice, even though it's 18 years past it's expatriation date" he said smiling at the comedy of it before he started to use it on himself
"Actually, soap contains chemicals which break down over time, and form more caustic compounds that can cause permanent fur-loss." Max said, matter-of-factedly, as she stood beside him, washing herself without soap. She was lying of course, playing a trick on Ace for his earlier tickle attack. She struggled to keep a straight face as she waited to see his reaction.
"Then how come you used it yesterday" he said remembering the soap in a different spot then when he looked in the bath room when they had first used his shower
"That was was this soap," Max replied, holding up a different bar with her magic. "I brought it with me from my Stable, where we had machines to make new soap." Ace was proving to be more difficult to fool than she'd hoped, but luckily she was used to making up convincing lies on the fly.
He sniffed hers "Then why did you smell like this one" he knew she used this one, why was she trying to.... "Oh I see what your doing" he said smiling as he continued to clean himself
Max shrugged. "Hey, it's your fur." She knew he wasn't buying it, and was a little bit miffed. She'd have to come up with some other way to get him back...
Ace still had most of the soap on him and he gave her a big hug "No it's our fur" he knew she was lying now so he figured he could mess around a bit with it
"Hey!" Max said, giggling, as she looked at all the soapy foam now on her coat. "You'd better wipe that off~!"
Max blushed a bit. "Well if you're going to keep doing it, you may as well just wash me yourself~" She purred, pressing herself up against him.
Max closed her eyes and smiled, moaning softly as Ace worked the soap into her coat. It felt so good, and began to tremble slightly with excitement once more.
Ace closed his eyes for a second as he stifled a laugh "Never mind" he said as he continued to clean her
After a while, Max couldn't take any more. "Okay! I think I'm clean now!" She squeaked, opening her eyes suddenly, and looking at Ace.
