Nao smiled, laughter gleaming in his crimson eyes. It was far too easy to get under Raumo's skin. Nao loved to tease, loved his games, but Raumo had not always shared the same sentiments. Still, the two polar opposites had always found a way around their differences, and for the most part, got along well. Nao flopped over onto his back, legs in the air, and cocked his head to the side. He wiggled around a little more, digging the mud further into his fur. "Worth it!" He chimed in response to Raumo's remark on the difficulty he was going to face in the near future. He didn't care much about the looming problem as much as Raumo might have.
But as the mud settled, and began to cake and dry under the touch of the sun, his skin began to....itch. Squirming, he finally couldn't take it anymore, and jumped up, rushing into the water. The water washed away most of the wet mud, and loosened some of the dry, but the majority of his white fur remained hidden beneath the brown. That, however, didn't matter: he was just glad to have his skin relieved. Feeling refreshed, but unwilling to leave, he rested instead near the bank, where the water was shallowest, and soaked. Resting his head on a rock, he glanced back over to the ducks, watching as they squawked and waddled around.
"Hey Raumo..." He mused. "Have you ever given thought to...a family?" He asked suddenly, thoughtfully. His friend had never mentioned such a thing, and while Nao had given it some thought, he wondered if his friend had.

Nao sighed, casting a brief, forlorn glance back at the family of ducks. Perhaps he was still too young to be considering such things, but the older he got, the more Nao wanted something...more. Something to call his own. A little version of himself scurrying about, someone he could teach and play games with. He didn't quite understand the process or the reasoning behind parenting, but from what he had observed, the parents were close, and enjoyed their time with their offspring. Seemed simple enough. Raumo was his best friend; that was enough, right? And they could all have so much fun together!
But Raumo didn't seem on board. He hardly even seemed interested. And he wasn't quite ready to discuss the topic in length. Perhaps at a later day. For now, they had the rest of the day to enjoy; the sun was still high after all! But perhaps they would venture forth to enjoy something...less strenuous. "Never mind. We can talk about it later." Shaking his head, Nao pulled himself up and out of the water. Hurrying for land, Nao shook his fur out, careful to stand away from Raumo as he did so; he didn't think his friend would be pleased to be met with more water after grooming himself. He smiled over at his friend. "For now, lets go find something...warmer to do. And cleaner." He chuckled softly, taking a few steps further away from the pond.

Nao titled his head to the side, eyes on the sky as he contemplated the options. A walk definitely sounded nice; another excuse to stretch out his legs and get those muscles working. However, after gallivanting in the pond, he was feeling a little wore out. The swim had been refreshing, and the sun felt warm and comforting against his fur, which certainly wasn't helping him stay awake. Shaking his head, he approached Raumo and and flopped down next to him, rolling over onto his side and stretching his legs out. Flecks and patches of dry mud still clung to his fur, but it no longer itched. He ignored the bit about washing the rest of the mud in the stream; he didn't feel like rushing all the way over there just for a little mud. The sun warmed him from above, and the dirt cooled him from below, lulling him into a state of drowsiness. "A walk sounds nice...after a nap." He murmured, snuggling closer to his friend. His eyelids drooped and he smiled, tucking his limbs close to his body.
