"Come on, it's not even that cold. I'll hold your paw." The sound of splashing is subtle, quiet in the morning air as Duskgaze offers his paw out to his mate. Spring, a time of love. One could say Dusk was a romantic, with the way he found comfort in the presence of his beloved. A certain fondness behind tired eyes, if only when he looks at Him. A look only for the tom before him, soft adoration with a hint of mischief. He sniffs as water drips down his nose, sneezing momentarily.
..Maybe the water was a bit cold, still.
Even when Fox joined him in the water, his eyes would stay on him; wary to make sure he didn't slip or go under for too long. The chill from the water was a wonderful one, easing aching muscles and joints worn down from war and training. Being made a warrior later than most led him to train more to compensate what he was lacking, his insomnia keeping him most nights. What else could he do, other than train? Eat, train, attempt to sleep. Failure. Skip to repeat. This was much more convenient now that he was a Warrior. He'd wake up beside his mate, sleeping a tiny bit more often, hunt, then train. A routine, never-changing.
"...Pfft. It's cold, isn't it?" He asked, drawing a giggle of soft laughter from the taller tom.
