(Fighting prompt) Let it BEE

Yuck. The other female had no hesitation in rolling around in the mud, though she refrained from cringing at the site. She'd seen a river on her way here, so surely she could retrace her steps and wash off before beginning to head home, right? Wrinkling her nose slightly she moved to the mud, tentatively lowering herself and rolling in it. Would this really help protect her from stings, or was this stranger messing with her? Even if she was, it wasn't much of a prank, given her own coat... though Hela's gray pelt made her look much less dirty than Caelia was about to. Begrudgingly she rolled onto one side and then the other, until her pale coat was sopping with mud - she just avoided getting too much near her face.

Hela said they'd have to shake the tree, and get as much from the hive as they could before the bees became aggressive. Caelia had a feeling that wasn't going to take long at all. Worth a try though, right? She was in too far deep to back out now. Scrambling to her paws, she nodded at Hela's words. "Let's do it then." She introduced herself not long after, and she repeated her name internally so she would remember it even after they were concluded here. Where was she from, Caelia wondered? Maybe she'd have time to ask after. Hela moved to place her paws on the tree, and Caelia joined her, lifting herself so she could put her weight on the tree and began to shake it hard, watching from the corner of her eye as the hive began to shake - and then all at once it came tumbling down hard.
