HE WIGGLE ♡ CROCODILE WASHING

[ROXANNE R.]

Roxanne had gotten up early that morning deciding that since she had a bit of a spa day when she found the hot springs, she would do something nice for one of her salt water crocodiles and that one being her first (and favorite) little reptile companion that being Kalayavan. She had already gathered a few brushes, a bucket of water, and a bloody bag that was not visible of its contents as she dragged it out to the large albino crocodile that lay on the beaches with mouth wide open. "There's my baby boy! Whose my baby boy? You are! You are!" She would begin to coo at the terrifyingly large crocodile and a hiss could be heard from the scaley beast but Roxie approached regardless petting at Kal's side only to place several kisses on his snout which caused him to close his mouth entirely. "Mama has been rather busy but today is our day, you and me, baby boy." A warm grin on her maw as she reached to grab a sponge from the bucket starting to scrub at the crocodiles back.

"My sweet little boyyy ~, oh Kalayavan!" She said in a sing song voice feeling rather happy and well, less stressed seeing as washing her crocodile was a rather calming procedure for herself anyways. Roxanne would hum quietly as she scrubbed at the crocodiles head with the sponge "Cheesus Kal... You were so dirty that your scales were hardly even a pearly white. We should do this more often cause I know you love and I love it. Yes, you do! Yes, you do!" The last bit she was cooing at the large reptile once more who only seemed to offer a low hiss and closed his eyes or at least the protective sheath was over them. A relaxed and happy boy that he was. "You're gonna shine like a just found pearl, you can bet that much!" Roxanne purred quietly as she tossed the sponge back into the bucket before grabbing a brush did she place herself between the powerful jaws of the crocodile that could've easily killed her yet... There she was flipping off death in the face and... Brushing the crocodiles teeth.

Dental care was important, after all.

If there was any pet that Vayne had to grow accustom to, it was her adoptive mother's crocodile. Seeing such a large, ferocious creature in the home was alarming, to say the least, but eventually Vayne grew to trust and like Kalayavan. The girl was wandering the beach when she heard the sing-song voice of Roxanne and decided to go over and see what was going on.

"Ooh, is it spa day?" Vayne chirped, a smile forming on her face as she spoke. "Can I give him a treat, Momma Roxie?"[glow=COLOR,1,400] ━ ✧*:･ﾟ[/glow]

ALL I FOUND THE SPACE BETWEEN THE SPACES
STANDING IN THE NOTHING, AND TIME RECLAIMS YOU

Much like Roxanne, Michael also had a crocodile companion traveling with him that day. Not his own, though, considering he preferred company of the much smaller and more fluffy variety. Instead, he was helping out Roan by taking the other's little crocodile friend, Galaga, out for a walk. Normally the soothsayer would do it himself, but the other had been busy lately due to the uptick in injuries, so his uncle had agreed to help out. Michael had his own duties as a dealer to worry about as well, obviously, but his weren't quite as life or death as Roan's.

So, with a little help from his nephew, the bobcat had managed to get Galaga up onto his back, strolling out of the temple and out towards the beach. He figured that the hatchling would appreciate a bit of sunbathing, considering Michael loved it quite a bit himself, and he wasn't even cold-blooded. Of course, he hadn't exactly been expecting to see Roxie with her head stuck in Kal's mouth when he got down to the shore.

He immediately paused upon coming across her, taking a moment to process what was going on. He obviously knew about how dearly Roxanne loved Kal, and he had always figured she pampered him, but... he hadn't been expecting this. He was broken from his frozen state by the sound of a sharp beep from behind his head, coming directly from Galaga. The hatchling seemed excited to see his father, whacking Michael lightly in the back of the head during his frantic rush onto the sand. A soft sigh left the dealer before he muttered, watching Galaga pull himself forward, "You could've given me a little bit more of a warning, kid..." He didn't hold it against the hatchling, though. Instead, he just gave a light shrug of his shoulders before following Galaga's lead and making his way over to sit nearby.

Unlike Vayne, the thief didn't exactly have much interest in putting his paws anywhere near Kal's mouth. Instead, he remained a short distance away, his tuft of a tail twitching behind him as he muttered to Roxie, "I'd say you're spoiling him... but I'm pretty sure you know damn well that you are." His tone was soft and teasing, and he found himself chuckling again when Galaga reached Kal's maw, shuffling against his father's jaw. Michael muttered then, watching the hatchling make himself comfortable, "I guess this was a good day for me to offer to take Galaga out for a walk... bit of a family visit." Not that Galaga and Kal were particularly kept apart. Roxie wasn't shy about taking Kal places with her, including the temple where Galaga usually resided.

He had seen rats, he had seen birds, but for the love of all that was holy, crocodiles? At what point was a line in the sand, haha pun, drawn where taking care of another animal became too potentially dangerous? He wasn't even being rude or insulting in his thought process, he was just genuinely curious. Up until now, Danny avoided pretty much all of the above, having been taught that they could all be potentially dangerous, and he didn't need to think twice about anything that could be dangerous. So, obviously, when he found Roxanne babying Kalayavan, a terrifyingly large boy.

Another weird, almost feverish dream had plagued him during what was supposed to be a decent sleep, causing his head to spin so fast it hurt, everything was much too loud and the sunlight felt like it would burn out his eyes. So much so that even leaving the tavern and stepping outside sent him stumbling around like a drunk, which should have been a bad enough sign that he wasn't feeling well, as Danny was a good kid and would never touch an alcohol, not now anyway. The realization of being orphaned by a fallen tree and having witnessed Goldie get burned alive was also pretty upsetting, as well as Deldrach's missing eye...what else was there on the list that was upsetting him today and ruining his beauty sleep? He was sure he'd find something else, but all he ended up finding was the captain with her head in the mouth of a giant albino reptile. Danny stopped rubbing the side of his head and slowly put his paw down, opposite action but with the same energy as someone putting their hands up with a gun pointed at them. Except there was no gun, just Kal. He blinked, as if any second the croc would disappear and he could laugh weakly about his sleep deprived hallucinations, but the creature stayed where it was. He even looked over at Vayne for a second, wondering if she was used to the giant boy and that's why she, y'know, offered to feed Kal.

"C-Captain...who...who's that?" Danny asked, not entirely proud of the shaking he did just looking at Kalayavan. In his defense, it was a crocodile and he'd never gotten the time to get used to Roxanne just having him around.

NYSTRÖM!

The young kit didn't own any pets. She had never thought about it before. But now that she had thought about it it seemed that everyone else had them. So maybe she should get one too. But what? She felt it odd really for animals to keep other animals as pets but she was sure there was a good reason behind it. Stepping forth the girl would hum a small tune gently, stopping every so often to clear her throat. The way was really pretty so she was just out for a walk when she came upon the scene. Slightly startled by the giant albino crocodile that Mrs. Roxanne was cleaning off. But she understood after a moment that he must belong with the Captain. And it was so freaking cool! The beta couldn't help herself and she sprinted forward to the group, her thick tail waving back and forth frantically with her excitement.

"Can I pet him!? Please!" She really wanted to. He was so cool and looked so scary. Her golden eyes were glued to the fierce looking  creature before she had to pull them away to look at the Captain. Where had she gotten him from anyway. She liked his scales and the white coloring and really being honest it wasn't like she had seen one before.
