He smiled a bit wider at her obvious determination, his expression filled with genuine mirth. It was nice to know that others truly valued socializing as much as he did - while he was fiercely, stubbornly independent, he did enjoy the company of others. He preferred them on his own terms, though, unburdened by a sense of.. owing another something. He would not allow himself to ever feel that way. His tusk head bowed to the ground as he watched her emerge from the river, her coat soaking wet.
He laughed at her own joke, fairly certain that the water was not cold enough to pose a risk to her health, or he would've urged her to stop before wading in too deep. She'd be fine once she dried off, though getting to that point might leave her feeling a bit chilly. He didn't mind that she shook water onto him; in fact, it sent him into another bout of hearty laughter, his gaze leaving her briefly to fixate on the sky. "No worries," he'd shake off the apology quickly, his wide shoulders shrugging carelessly. "It's nice to meet you, Caelum," he offered gladly. "Do you call these lands your home?" Admittedly, it would be an odd place to live.. but perhaps she lived close enough to consider this home too.
