spring cleaning

Alright, so this male wasn't in the best mood. Or maybe that was just his personality. Oh, well. Alarik wasn't going to let that bother him. Maybe he could just tone down the bubbly attitude a bit, pretend to have a little less energy. But that was hard to do when the ice water still seemed to be running through his body. He could hardly keep still. But he managed not to bounce in place or anything like that.

"Just a little," he said. "The lands I had to travel through to get here were incredibly muddy. I figured I had to clean myself off somehow." He smiled in a friendly way and waved his tail slowly behind him. Partly as a pleasant gesture and partly just to dry the fur on his tail.

"My name is Alarik," he said. It was only polite to introduce himself, right?
