Once Nyla's hands were completely cleansed of blood, or at least the best to her ability, she shook some of the water off her hands. She did her best to pay no mind to her shirtless company, the blonde felt that if she even glanced over it would make things awkward. When the dirt on her feet ebbed away she began to return to the bank of stream, sloshing noises sounding in her wake. Her ears remained stiff and soon picked up Zephyr's voice, who now had his shirt on once more. It caused her to glance back at her dirty tail, it would be a tad troublesome to deal with.
"If you don't mind. Soaking it tends to make it super heavy and annoying to deal with," Nyla answered. "Plus, I'm not the best at grooming it, even after having a tail for a couple of months."
The blonde stopped at the edge of the water, she was not certain where Zephyr would want her to sit or stand. Nyla had never had somebody else groom her tail before, thus it was difficult to say where she would need to be. She glanced at her companion again.
"Anywhere you need to go or something else? Nobody has ever groomed my tail before, so I'm a bit clueless here. She asked, keeping her yellow eyes on him.

Zephyr shrugged and nodded towards a log that was near the stream but not in it. As he made his own way towards it, he pulled the brush out of his little pouch he carried on him at all times. It was actually a dog brush he had found while passing through a smaller 'village' that had apparently hosted a boarding kennel.
"Just sit there, i know a few tricks to grooming fur. It, ah, can be a sensitive thing, let me know if it hurts in a spot so i can work it a little gentler, tangles in the fur can be painful if not taken care of."
Once she sat he gently lifted her tail onto his lap and began brushing, but not the way one would expect. He brushed with the lay of the fur first, then against it, lightly and gently, so as to get the under coat. As he did this he would wet his fingers in the stream and work the mud out, then take the brush to the freshly cleaned area.
It took all his will to not blush himself into oblivion.

Patiently, the blonde teenager waited until she was instructed by Zephyr's simple nod towards the log. She sloshed her way through the water until her feet met dirt, closing the distance between her and the log. Once she sat down on the rough surface of the log, her eyes returned to her companion who held a dog brush. Despite being a woman, Nyla was not offended by the idea of him using a dog brush on her tail, it was fur and thus a dog brush was probably better equipped for the job. When he mentioned any pain, the blonde gave him a nod and returned her eyes to the flowing water of the river. There was the slightest bit of blush painting her cheeks, nothing too noticeable, but still lurking nonetheless.
She felt the brush comb through the fur on her tail, it did not hurt one bit. Although, she refused to glance back, Nyla could guess that Zephyr was likely doing a good job. He did mention brushing Ember's fur which meant he likely knew a few good techniques. For the most part, Nyla's attention remained on the landscape around the stream, it seemed like another good place to draw.
"Man, all this nature is so nice. I'm going to have to come out here and draw sometime. This place would totally give me some muse, she commented. A small smile was on her lips, she was enjoying just sitting here and taking in the sights. "And, thanks for helping me out with my tail. Would've been super annoying to deal with myself. Probably would have had to soak it when I got home or take a while to clean it here."

Zephyr was just enjoying the soothing feel of brushing the tail, nodding and agree with her, although he lacked artistic talent (If he drew anything that didnt look like a stick with blobs on it, it would be a miracle) He did have an eye for beauty.
However when she mentioned soaking her tail, he simply blurted out what first came to mind.
"I could wash it right now."
He blinked and flushed bright red.
"What i mean is, i know ways to wash it the fur thoroughly and get it dry pretty quick. Fox fur is naturally water resistant, but when soaked it traps the water inside, its a sort of safety measure. In wild foxes, when the water starts to evaporate it pulls heat from the body, like when humans sweat, so the fur is designed by nature to hold the water, so that the fox doesn't freeze if she falls into a lake or something in the winter."
He shrugged.
"You can bypass that by running the water through it rather than soaking it, and the water thats left in the fur can be drawn out 'slicking' you just take your hands and run the edges of them down the sides of the tail, like blades, only you are just shaving water our of the spaces between the fur fibers."

Constantly, the blonde's yellow eyes gazed over the scenery, her mind thinking about all the wonderful drawings she could have made. It seemed like a long time since she had plopped down somewhere with a sketchpad and a couple of pencils. Those vivid thoughts of artistic beauty remained, until Zephyr mentioned something about washing her tail. Abruptly, Nyla straightened and her face flushed from the concept, she had the feeling that was not something an individual should say to a girl or guy with animal features.
"Um, what?!" Nyla started to exclaim. She then rudely added, "I can very well do that myself!"
The teen felt a little upset from what had been said, but she still listened to Zephyr's defense. Her arms were crossed and she was mildly regretting letting him help with her tail. She listened to the fox information, a topic that she had personally never thought about researching since like a majority of people before Maras came, she had not expected to gain fox-like features. Her ears flattened, she still was not very happy with what he has said previously, but she decided after a few moments to let it go.
"Good to know. Never thought about researching foxes myself since I didn't find them overly interesting. I will have to keep in mind what you told me for the next time I have to wash it." Nyla stated, keeping her eyes ahead.
Her ears soon pricked again, she still wanted to remain attentive after all. The blonde's hands returned to the log, her fingers gently rubbing the rough surface of the bark. For only a mere few moments she was quiet, but for a talkative teenage girl the silence soon became unbearable.
"So, what did you do before all of this anyways? Like other than living around animals. Did you have a job or anything like that?" Nyla asked curiously, trying to rekindle a better conversation. The last thinf she wanted speak about at the moment was her tail.

Yup, smooth, he should make that his middle name.
"Oh, well before Maras...I was in foster care until i was fifteen, and after i got up this way, well i lived in the woods. I was a run away, and i was in the country illegally. Anything i couldn't hunt, trap, or make myself, i traded for with the people who came out to trap themselves. I mostly just spent my time doing what i could to survive, which is actually a lot easier now, than it was. Before i was just some 'punk kid' with no skills other than being a good shot with a bow, now i have these gifts, that people actually need."
He shrugged while still getting the rest of the mud out of her tail.
"I'm really sorry, i just blurted that out, i'm still not used to being around people, and when you spend five year living with yourself, and no one else...you forget things like censoring yourself..."

There was still a feeling of upset in the blonde girl as she sat silently listening to what her companion answered her random question. It seemed that people were not commonly associated with in his life, which suggested to Nyla that he favored the company of animals. The concept made her feel somewhat sad and concerned that perhaps her company was not satisfactory or maybe even unwanted. Nyla merely sat in silence while he continued to speak and apologized for his randomly blurted words that had upset her.
She paused a moment, letting the apology hang in her mind. "It's fine, just try to avoid saying something like that again. It made me pretty upset," Nyla responded casually. Not accepting the apology would probably just make the entire thing awkward.
Once again she hesitated before speaking, he had answered the question therefore it was only fair if she did, or at least in Nyla's mind. To the blonde, if somebody was honest to her then that warranted some honesty back.
"Before all this, I was taking care of Ines obviously since my uncle wouldn't do a blasted thing. Had about two jobs and no social life outside of my family, a waitress one and sometimes I would do a bit of singing to earn some extra cash on the side. People thought I was some sort of workaholic, but I always had something to do so social gatherings practically never happened. Maybe the odd online one with a couple of my nerdy mates to play some new video game, but that was about it. I wanted to move out with Ines to be honest, couldn't leave her with my uncle, she would likely be fending for herself. That's pretty much my boring before the Maras life in Nootau." The explanation was lengthy and she did not mind using a couple of words to criticize her no good uncle.

Zephyr flinched when she admitted it upset her a lot.
"Sorry about that."
When she told her story however he grit his teeth. The anger that boiled up at the obvious selfishness of her uncle was like a furnace in his gut.
"Idiot obviously didnt know how good he had it. Family. i would have literally killed to have a real family."
The contempt in his voice was obvious.
"Well, if he ever shows up again, let me know, so i can find a nice deep hole and throw him in it."
He finished brushing the dirt out of her tail. He hesitated however before letting go of the soft plush appendage.
"If you...er...start shedding, I'll make sure to visit often, so i can help get it all out. It it doesn't get brushed out, it can cause a lot of problems."
He rubbed his neck...here he was, twenty years old, acting like a thirteen year old on his first date. It would be funny, if it wasn't so damn awkward...
"So, i figure we just need to head a little east from here to get back on the trail to where you've been living..."

When Zephyr apologized a second time it confirmed that he was most definitely sorry about what he had said. In response, Nyla merely shrugged and said, "It's fine. No hard feelings here."
The blonde teen began slowly kicking her feet back and forth as her ears listened to the trickling of the stream. For a while now, her heart has been beating a little faster, which forced her to stifle a giddy laugh. When Zephyr began talking about the idiocy of her uncle, it made her smile. Most would merely brush it off and state that 'it probably wasn't that bad.' That was truly infuriating to Nyla since they never came over to her home.
"I know right? He just threw it away." Nyla began and giggled at the notion of throwing her uncle in a hole. She was not against the idea. "Now, now. I still have to get my claws on him."
There was a moment where the brushing stopped and her tail was still held, but it was soon released. The blonde teen merely presumed it was to check for any remaining dirt splotches. For a few moments, Nyla wiggled her tail around before standing up and grabbing her filthy shoes. The girl then knelt down and smacked her shows against the ground to get rid of some of the dry mud, her ears pricked all the while.
"I will keep that in mind. Also, thanks, it helped a lot. Much easier than dealing with it myself," Nyla said, her tone happy.
Once the dry mud was in a pile, she dumped any of the dirt that ended up in her shoe before slipping her feet in and tying the laces. Her filthy socks were merely shoved in her pocket; they could be dealt with later.
"Okay, thanks again. Ines probably wouldn't appreciate me being gone any longer, plus I guess I should get out of your hair," Nyla said, her voice trailing off near the end. She did not like the idea of separation, but knew better than to say a word about it. "Also, when we do separate, be careful out there, alright? I don't like the idea of you going and gettin' yourself hurt or worst."

Zephyr actually grinned at her last statement.
"Trust me, i can handle myself. I'm more worried about you, what on earth would happen if you were attacked by a mud shooting giant earthworm?"
He flinched after he said it though.
"With my luck, we might run into one..."
He lead the way, holding out his hand if she needed to steady herself on the slick rocks. Once back on dry land, he turned and cut down a deer trail before coming out in a well walked trail.
"So which way from here? i know you traveled through here, but the scents are so faded now, i cant tell direction."

Upon mentioning a giant mud-shooting worm, Nyla laughed and turned back to face her companion, placing her hands on her hips. A large toothy grin was on her face. "Oh, really? I guess I would have to act like a damsel in distress." The back of her hand gently touched her forehead as she jokingly stated, "Oh no. I need a handsome knight to rescue me." Immediately after the words she broke character and started laughing again. Then she heard the words afterwards. "Oh, c'mon. I'm sure we'll be fine."
The blonde soon began to follow Zephyr, but hesitated when she saw the offered hand. Not even her jerk of a boyfriend had offered his hand to her back when they were dating, even if she was going to fall. Her smile broadened and she took the offered hand to make her journey of the slick rocks an easier one. Afterwards she released, but found herself giggling again as they walked. Eventually, she managed to compose herself so she did not get any animals to come towards them or away. Once they returned to the trail, Nyla's eyes wandered as she remembered her path.
"This way," she said, heading towards the direction of Nootau.
The teenager began to head down the path, her yellow eyes noticing each of the familiar signs that she had passed heading towards the river. Nyla was pleased with how her adventure to the river turned out, especially with the warm and fuzzy feeling swelling around her. Soon enough she was humming a cheerful tune, a habit for Nyla when she found herself happy.
She paused her melody a moment to speak. "This was awesome. I'm super glad I came out here, or else I wouldn't have met ya."

Zeph grinned. She was a funny one, of course his lack of social experience meant he had nothing to compare to, so he wasn't sure if this was normal or not. The only time he had socialized while in foster care was when he had to put on the 'happy child' act for the caseworkers. When Nyla started humming he listened contentedly, and when she talked about how happy she was to meet him he grinned wolfishly. "Well, that's always good to hear. Maybe I'll have to make a habit of wandering along streams in the misty morning." He stepped up his pace a bit to walk even with her, and started singing one of the few songs he had actually memorized. He started off a little scratchy but his voice cleared and soon he was singing Try Everything by Shakira with a smooth and soft tone. The song had always spoken to him, because he had always been told he would never amount to anything in life.

The intense feeling of joy kept Nyla moving with a hop in her step; she had even momentarily debated skipping. She kept her cheerful little tune going as she walked while a lip-tight upon her face all the while. The grass that licked at her shoes was also cleaning off some of the mud, which was a secondary small victory for the blonde teenager. Her humming was soon interrupted by a small chuckle she made.
"Perhaps you should, cause I might have to make a habit of wandering to streams on those mornings then," Nyla responded with a giggle. Soon it turned to a little bit of teasing. "Unless you want a mud spitting earthworm to meet ya there instead."
She took a momentary glance back and flashed another smile, Nyla was really enjoying this. Her eyes returned to the path, until she heard the beginnings of the song, which caused her ear to swivel a little back to hear better. It started off a little rough, but as Zephyr's voice smoothed she could easily identify the song. For a few moments, she merely listened to him sing Try Everything by Shakira, until her mind gathered all the lyrics and remembered the vocal tones. She started off a little off note, but corrected herself quickly and began singing the song. With a smile on her face, she glanced back towards her company and found herself enjoying the sudden burst into song. It reminded her of how she sang to Ines to calm her down and all the recreational times she would do it for the fun of it. There were very few times when she gained the chance to sing with somebody, but she was glad that she had the chance now.

As she began to sing along with him, he grinned, somehow able to keep signing despite it. As they finished he laughed and shook his head.
"You know, that song was always a favorite of mine. It was one of the few i had on my MP4 player when i left the foster home, i stole a solar charger, and spent five years listening to the same fifty songs."
He paused as he walked, but only for a moment, and only because Ember tried to trip him. He sighed and took an extra half step to catch back up.
"So i take it you like to draw and such? I trade with a lot of a people, i could ask around for some sketch paper and pencils."

Once the song ended, Nyla's face was lit up with a large grin and she gently joined in on the laughter. As expected, the blonde teenager had not possessed much time to enjoy herself since the post-apocalypse would keep one busy, thus this little break from the stresses was pleasant. She chuckled at the concept of only having 50 songs, mostly because her own playlists had consisted of a plethora due to her love of singing and not to mention the various times she had to learn a new song for a performance.
"I wouldn't live off that, love music too much for that. Plus I'm always trying to learn new ones for Ines," she gently chuckled. "Also, nice singing by the way."
The blonde had not noticed when Ember had tried to trip Zephyr, thus she kept a big grin on her face. She was pretty content being around him, the slight nervousness and increased heartbeat confirmed the concept. Thinking about it made her giggle again, something she commonly did when pondering the idea. When he mentioned the sketchpads, Nyla's face lit up with joy.
"That would be awesome! You would serious do that for me?" She exclaimed happily, her face turning into an unstoppable smile. "You're the best!"
Nyla's energetic ways soon got the best of her and she found herself opening her arms wide to hug him. Zephyr had treated her with kindness after all and if they were going to separate getting a hug in would be absolutely radical.
"Thank-you so much! Drawing is my jam, plus I can get my sister draw too. Oh, she would probably be pretty happy." Her words came out quick and a happy squeal ended her sentence. Her sketchpads were limited and pencils often broke to the point they were not salvageable, thus she was excited.
