Jube rinsed out his hair thoroughly, and watched Kestrel head off. He began to wonder if Kes would be ok with his idea, or if she would find it uncomfortable. Still, she was so motherly towards the cub that he felt it was a good idea to do so. He eventually got out of the water and dried himself off. He replaced his wet clothes with some dry ones before wandering around the small area they were making their temporary home. Milo continued to play with Lupo, and it seemed the two got along quite well. Jube simply waited for Kes to return.
