A quick dip

Raijin was incredibly close to Ashen, he could even smell the pack scent markers on the wind, but he wasn’t ready to venture there just yet. His travels had exhausted him and he knew he was dirty, so a trip to the Hot Springs were just what the doctor ordered. The koi diplomat made a bee-line for the warm waters, hardly hesitating before jumping into a particularly deep pool. His head disappeared below the surface for a moment before reappearing, a rumble of pleasure echoing up his throat. He paddled over to a submerged ledge and laid on it, feeling the sweat and grime from his journey practically melting off.
