Of course, this was bad news for any cats with long or black fur.




    Today was one of those days and it had driven Arthur to the lake once more, this time for an obviously different reason. Normally, he wasn't a huge fan of swimming, but when it was hot like this, he had to admit it was nice to dip into the water a little bit.




    With that, Arthur placed his glasses on the shore and would slowly walk into the water until it was deep enough where he had to kick his feet to keep himself afloat. Swimming around for a bit, he dipped under a few times to get himself completely wet before going back to the shallower part so he could stand, smiling and shaking himself off a bit.




    No way, was the trainee... smiling? This couldn't be the same Arthur, could it?




    /have some happy arthur <3
    this is my apology to him for making his life suck lately
    oops

    Summer, in all honesty, is Fresh's favorite season. That may be pretty biased, as that is basically the only season he's lived in thus far, but from what he has heard about the other seasons, it sounds like it is the most fun. While heat may be a downside to some, he will certainly enjoy it more than the cold climates that BlizzardClan may suffer later on. Not only that, but he has heard that in winter, the lakes and water usually freeze into place, and are unable to be used for swimming purposes. Why would he enjoy such a season, especially one that makes him unable to do one of his more favorite pastimes?


    The mutated axolotl could be seen basking, his head tucked between his paws and the rest of his frame gently lying against the grass. Today was a blistering hot day, and he merely took that as an advantage to relax. Normally he would be sprinting about, chasing some butterflies or maybe even a dragonfly, but not at this moment. He was unable to track down an insect, thus, he resorted to simply lazing about. So far, the day appeared to be relatively peaceful.


    Hearing the splash of water, the male would lift his cranium, and turn it slowly towards the lake. Lifting himself onto his feet, he would pad up to the shore, his tail fin slowly wagging as he caught sight of Arthur's head popping up. "hello!" he greeted, kneading his paws against the grass, before dropping his vision towards the water.


    He had plans to go swimming later, but he figured that he might as well go now. Dropping down into a crouch, he would excitedly wiggle his hindquarters, before bounding into the water. For a few moments he would splash about underwater, savoring the coolness it provided, before propelling himself upward. Head lifted above the silky surface, he would happily smile at the black feline, using his legs and arms to stay afloat.


    ((aa yis happy Arthur is cute Arthur))

They personally preferred spring, when all the flowers bloom and the animals come out of their holes. It's a very alive season. But anyways, that's not important right now.




    The small dalmatian found their way over to Fresh and Arthur, today without their beloved sweater, and took a seat on the edge of the water, watching their best friend swim. They passed Arthur a smile and then barked, "Hi Freshy." They greeted sweetly, offering the Swampert a wave of one spotted paw. They were always happy to see him, and he tended to be just about everywhere they went, so they felt pretty good right now.




    Just wait until the crowd comes. Truey reminded themself, eyes dimming a little at the concept. The dog shut their eyes for a second, exhaling heavily out of their nose and then opening them again, returning them to their friend in the lake. Calm. They thought simply.




    Calm.

    /Arthur deserves a break


    The water's easier to get into, when the heat's along with it; before, when he'd hopped into a stream, it'd been freezing. Leon's lucky he didn't get sick from the cold that followed, and he knows now where to find the warmer waters when the weather's not the greatest for cool creeks. Today, though, is warmer, and the lake's looking appealing. He's not the only one with the same idea, Arthur and Fresh both enjoying the escape, but Fresh is usually in the water anyway. Truey's here too, sitting at the bank; more people will come later, Leon knows, because that's usually how this works. Glancing at the water, he contemplates sliding in and doing a few circuits.


    In the end, the canine stretches out on a smooth rock outcropping, jutting out over the lake. He can keep an eye on everyone too, from a slight distance; since he doesn't make the best casual conversationalist, this is a pretty good spot for him to stay. Resting his head on his paws, he inhales, doing his best to relax and enjoy this moment of tranquility for as long as it lasts.

    Arthur turned his head as he heard a familiar voice, seeing Fresh. "Hey Fresh!" He would reply, oddly chipper. The tom was still smiling as he turned to gaze briefly at True and Leon, silently greeting them

She enjoyed the golden sunlight, and the solace in the bright blue sky.. The late sunsets, too, alongside the early dawns. She just.. enjoyed this season in particular, mainly because she had joined during this season, a year prior. She had joined, and Matty had taught her what 'summer' so much as meant, and therefore, it was her favourite season by default. Other seasons were nice, and she knew how to appreciate the aspects of each.. But, summer was her overarching favourite.


    Tama would weave her way over, pulling her heavy form after her, as she seated herself beside Leon, exhaling a gentle sigh as her ashen orbs rested briefly upon the limpid surface of the river. "Ah.. Tama's going to miss the summer." She would add, though an airy smile seemed to traverse her features, nevertheless. Her gaze would then proceed to pivot towards Arthur, whom seemed to be busying himself with a swim, at the moment. It was nice to see him.. happy, really. It was truly nice to see him content, once in a while, mainly because he didn't deserve to feel so down, all the time. "Ah, having fun, Arthur?" Tama would inquire, with a soft giggle.

    Swimming? Swimming could mean drowning, or choking, or being lost... but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.


    Just in case anyone happened to drown, Matty decided to approach. Pausing next to his wife, and giving her a soft smile, he'd look towards his swimming clanmates, muttering, "Just... be careful." He enjoyed swimming, but... anything could be dangerous.


    The vampire wasn't sure if he truly enjoyed summer or not. Of course, it was one of the things he taught Tama about when they were young, which made it such a lovely season... but it was so hot. Matty loved the cold, and he'd much rather be freezing than overheating, so summer was difficult for him to like. But, since most of his clanmates here seemed to be enjoying the heat; he decided to stay quiet about his opinions on the weather.
