Since Bastion was hanging around Salsola there was nothing placed upon his body in order to cover him. He didn't bother with such things if he were to be staying home. It was only while he went out that he dressed himself and took a scented bath. But if he were to be within the protection of the thistles then why should he worry about such things? And well, he really tried to stick around Salsola once night fell. Of course he had those times when he wasn't here. But of course he made that they were around the time for when they would all eat together. That was one thing that he always made sure that he was around for.
And it seemed he was lucky to have gotten in when he had. Though he had been hanging around Salsola now he had gotten back not long ago. He had been given enough time to strip down and clean away the blood from his hands. What he did while he was away was generally his own little secret. Of course some of it could be speculated at. And there was at least one occasion that another had witnessed that he wasn't quite as innocent as he came off. Or at least a couple other outside of his puppy. Still the number of live witnesses were minimal in this area. Or any area really. They had either been past puppies or deceased.
Bastion was glad that he had the chance to clean up before he heard the call to attend the supper. He made his way there quickly, not wanting to be late. He moved over to try to greet those present with a lick to each cheek and of course his childish nature decided that the gesture needed to be accompanied by a hug should it be allowed. Of course with greeting Sirius he ended up adding a single whispered word. "Present." The word was whispered to the Boss with an inclination of his head to indicate back the way that Bastion had come from. He didn't say anymore but moved to take his spot, choosing to sit on the other side of the Crone. He knew that she didn't like him but after what had happened prior she seemed to tolerate him a bit more at least.
