It had been a busy little while around the swamps and after initial attempts to get and stay clean had failed because of the on-going activity, Vyoga-kwaa had stopped trying so hard-- but now that everything was over, he was determined to get most of the mud off of himself. He was sitting in the shallow water of the swamp, the most reasonable place, he decided, since anywhere you sit near water it was going to be wet. His feet were clean and he was in the process of trying to get all the mud from around his face- but it took some psyching up before he could stick his face in the water. Which was the only way it was going to get clean without a lengthy grooming session.
Already wet and still moderately muddy (his mane, in particular, still needed work), it was lucky he had no idea the queen was intending to begin her interviews or he might have ended up looking a lot worse after a frantic and rushed attempt to clean up. He'd already demonstrated in many of the events that he was clumsy despite looking so sturdy.
