Dalila couldn't help but grin and her tail wagged at the obvious joy that Siren showed at the idea of a bath. It had been far too long for the Queen considering how frequently her fur was groomed normally and puppies were a messy thing. She gave her sweet lady a little shake of her head when she mentioned how she didn't think she'd be able to make it to the stream and told her, "Don't you worry about that... I have a surprise for you." She was partially surprised Siren hadn't stirred at all in all the preparations she had done, but she was glad that she would get to see the true reactions as she revealed her surprise to Siren. She very carefully shifted Albion and Scylla away from Siren's side as to not wake them and tuck them into some of the furs to keep them warm and then helped Siren down from the bed, bringing her over to the room that she had been preparing for this very purpose.

She pushed open the door and let Siren into the bathroom and showed her the large tub in question, peeking at her beautiful face to see her reaction curiously. "I knew getting to the stream would probably be difficult so I brought buckets of water in here for you," she explained, still keeping her voice down so they wouldn't wake up the sleeping pups in the next room. "I don't know if it'll be as refreshing as the stream, but hopefully it's better than nothing." She dipped her head to kiss Siren's cheek before she climbed into the tub herself and then reached over the edge to help Siren over the wall of the tub, gently lifting the delicate Queen and helping her into the cool water.

A little smile lingered on her lips while she fell into the familiar rhythm of things, using a cloth and the fragrant soap to start washing everything from Siren's pale coat, suds slowly collecting in the water around them. Every once in a while she would sneak little kisses around Siren's face and ears, unable to resist the affections that they shared while she washed and combed through the long fur around Siren's face and undoing the braids that had been bundled up for far too long and had gotten frizzy in the mean time, letting down the long tendrels till they were floating on the surface of the water. She slowly worked through Siren's fur from the top of her head down to just past her shoulders, moving more slowly and savoringly than she might usually. There was more to clean from Siren's fur than there usually was and it was also the first time they had really been alone since the pups were born. She selfishly wanted to squeeze in as much time as she could with her, even if it was just to give her a bath.
