I think Moto Moto likes you! - river bath

Baths. Arvid took them, of course, but he never quite made such a... show of it, like Byriath seemed to be doing. Unlike his feline counterparts, Arvid wasn't able to just lick himself into being clean without ending up coughing up a lung. So instead, the dire wolf was left to occasionally dunk himself into the river, usually to wash blood and poison from his fur. Didn't want to lick his paw and accidentally end up killing himself, after all. That would be quite the pathetic – and hilarious – way to go.

The young scientist had actually been heading for his usual bathing spot when he came across two others – Byriath and Saturn. Pausing nearby, Arvid had to actively bite back laughter when Byr resurfaced with a dramatic flip, as if he was a model in some commercial. Of course, the thane only ended up losing it when Saturn spoke up, a burst of laughter leaving the boy before he answered for Byriath, "Yeah, that's Byriath! Wow, I really wish you could see him now, Saturn. He's acting like some kinda model." Turning his attention directly towards Byriath, Arvid had a playful smirk lingering on his muzzle as he teased, "Are you trying to get on one of those human magazine covers, or something?" That certainly would be an interesting volume of Sports Illustrated.
