the lion blushed at being reminded they were already in the bath. he truly had been distracted and worked up if he had forgotten a fact as blatant as that. he relaxed a little as Cyan pampered him, purring loudly as he was washed down with care and a loving touch, especially over his belly.

Cyan was actually getting a closer look at his mate for once now Leniad wasn't fidgeting or rushing around as he seemed to do a lot, a habit he had developed in his time on the streets. he had a lot of split ends to his mane and it would need a good brush to get some of the knots out. his fur was thicker and silky soft in some places, but in others it seemed distressed, rough and thin.

He even appeared thinner than Cyan was lead to believe him to be, his fur hiding it. his belly was swelling yes, but the rest of him was well underweight. clearly even though he was being given every almost amenity possible, he wasn't taking care of himself for some reason, not eating enough and not bathing properly to take care of his fur and mane.

However there were some signs that he would have been a regal presence once upon a time. hidden in his fur and on his body if one just knew where to look.
