As he neared a narrowing in the creek, he bowed his head. At first the boy was so focused on ignoring the red-haired woman (paradoxical as that indeed sounded) he did not seem to notice when his aim was off. Instead of dipping his snout towards the surface, his mouth hung above the surface for a split second and then his entire snout made the plunge — and he bupped his nose against the river stones skimming the bottom.
It was the closest he'd been to water for a long time. When Tryphon realized (not even a heartbeat later) that he had erroneously submerged his entire face he comically gasped, sucking in water, and reversed. Water streamed off of his face, slicking down the plush fur of his cheeks so as to make him look both ghoulishly gaunt and saturated, the way a forest might look after a hard rain.
He gagged and spat, shaking himself off vigorously — feeling suddenly quite vain in the presence of the old-timer. Once the majority of the river had dribbled off of him, Tryphon gave himself another youthful shake. He glanced with his peripheral vision at the stranger when he heard her coughing, but offered her not a word. His pale gaze narrowed with a mixture of confusion, concern, and - strangest of all - curiosity.
Deciding to accept her presence for the time being, he huffed a small grunt of acquiescence back at her. Yeah, I see you. What do you want? The look in his eyes was saying, before he turned nonchalantly back towards the water's surface to take a proper tongue-lashing of it.
