The white female hadn't thought his question was stupid at all. As a highly social creature, it was rare Julooke ever thought any question wasn't worth asking, even for conversational purposes. The friendly male didn't really have any time to reply, however, as Julooke got distracted by a passing fish.
He seemed happy to play along with her splashing, getting her back before asking if was a way of asking for help with the blood on her fur. She had all but forgotten it. If it makes you want to play, sure! she responded with a laugh. Quickly, she bounded through the water towards him, bringing her front legs up to try and push him over into the water. Julooke had no idea that the male might have had the beginnings of a crush on her. If she had, maybe she would have been a bit more reserved so as to not give him any hope since her heart was very much already taken.
