"See! That wasn't so bad!" Mission complete; SM is now clean.
The scruffiness seems to persist though...
SM is an artist AND an unsocialized little guy, you bet your ass I'm HCing them as an anxious wreck that doesn't know how to act around anyone that isn't Suns.
Though SM is begging for their personal space - on hands and knees with tears - the slup seems pretty determined to get SM cleaned up.
