The alabaster women must have been exhausted because when she woke up, not only was Shiloh and Sarian gone, but the room was a complete mess. Kiara got up and shook herself to rid her tired body of any lingering sleep. As the arctic wolf carefully walked through the dirtied apartment she could only wonder what sort of trouble Sarian had gotten herself into. Whatever had happened, it would have clearly ended in a bath. A small piece of paper, heavy with Shiloh's scent was left for Kiara to find. Kiara had never learned to read the unintelligible scrawl of humans, so the runes only occupied a few moments of her time. However, there was no mystery as to what had transpired within the apartment so the snowy women left the apartment complex to join her friends in a lovely bath.
When Kiara finally arrived, Shiloh and Sarian were already climbing out of the water to join X'yrin on the grass. Sarian was already pestering X'yrin, who was relaxing in the grass and Shiloh was spreading out blankets. As she moved closer, Kiara announced her presence with a small howl. Sarian happily replied with her own puppy voice, but never left X'yrin's side. Sarian saw Kiara and Shiloh every day, but X'yrin was a treat for the little puppy. Kiara made a mental note to make keep an eye on the pair in case X'yrin needed to be saved from the pup's over enthusiasm.
Kiara greeted Shiloh and X'yrin before making her way into the water. Today was a little warmer than normal which made for perfect bathing weather. Water flowed through Kiara's snowy coat, taking away any impurities that had collected in her fur. At some points the water was deep enough for the arctic wolf to swim. It had been too long since Kiara had last enjoyed a good swim and she would occasionally dive under to water for a few moments and allow her large paws to run along the stream bed. Eventually, Kiara had enough and returned to the banks to shake herself dry.
Now that the bath was done, it was time to give Sarian a little scolding. The alabaster women was sure that Shiloh had already scolded Sarian, but some reinforcement never hurt. Kiara walked over to Sarian and looked at the pup with her disapproving sapphire eyes. "Sarian, you've made a mess at home. When we get back, you and I are going to help mommy clean up. Do you understand?"
