While Wormwood was finally managing to adjust to his new home in the swamp that Tanglewood inhabited, that didn't mean that he wasn't still bothered by the overwhelming heat, particularly in the mornings when he had just woken up and already the air was suffocatingly humid. Unfortunately he had been sleeping and napping a lot more lately thanks to the recent death in the group that made him feel lethargic and worried. In fact, sometimes he just spent the night in Poet's house sleeping on the floor instead of going back to his own home because of how worried he had been about the other passing out and passing away lately. It made him feel somewhat comforted, but Poet's house unfortunately wasn't any less horribly hot than his house was.
Growing more and more tired of experiencing nothing but awful heat for the last few days,
Wormwood had finally decided to try going to the shore that he had been hearing about from different npcs when he had asked about how the hell to get around the territory without getting hopelessly lost every other moment. Apparently it had lots of nice clean and cool water, and also sometimes accumulated small shells, rocks, and other things he could perhaps collect. It had taken a bit of searching and asking around, but eventually Worm had found his way to the shore, grinning at the clear waters in front of him that contrasted so starkly with the marshlands he had just emerged from.
Not wasting any time, he moved out into the water, letting it wash over his paws and ankles, before he went a bit deeper in and practically laid down, letting the water wash over him and rinse the dirt and mud out of his fur. Chuckling loudly for the first time in several days, the large golden lion began to roll around in the water, flicking his paws and throwing water up into the air. He laughed gleefully at just how nice and comfortable he felt as he rolled and splashed in the clean water. He flicked his ears and went to the edge of the water, pushing his paws into the rocks and silt and searching around with his nose for anything interesting. When he managed to find a small sand colored shell, he made a happy deep purring noise and put it aside, laying back down and closing his eyes in relaxation as he felt the small waves roll against his fur. It was probably the most happy and carefree had been in... ages, really.
