Luke thought aloud through the dilemma while Saena listened patiently, grinning wider when he suggested he would just not bathe. There were plenty of wolves and animals that had poor hygiene around, so finding him would still be difficult, she knew. Besides, a bedraggled, unkempt appearance wouldn't suit him. She could only hope he wouldn't make good on that promise.

With reassurance that he would check on her once in a while, Luke rose and planted a friendly kiss across Saena's head. She returned it by jabbing her nose quickly against his chin, a brief bump of farewell. "I'll see you around," she promised, "and you better have a bloody pack by then, or I'm dragging you home with me!" Maybe she would do it anyway, if the pack he chose wasn't one she approved of (and there were only two of those). Smirking playfully after him, the young female swished her short tail and then turned about.
