"If you try to run away I will eat you while you're still alive so you can watch it happening," growled Rain.

The Kobold let out a little high pitched squeak and hurried to hide behind Opal.

The group set off into the cave system with Opal leading the way. Soon they left the area that the Piscine liked to inhabit and were moving into a more green and plant-filled cave biome. Grass began to carpet the tunnel floors and vines were strung across the walls and overhead. It wasn't long before they came across an exceptionally lush and beautiful cavern. White crystals embedded in the ceiling cast the room in picturesque natural light.

What halted Rain in his tracks though was the crystal clear and shining pool of water in the middle of the cavern.

"Oh. We're stopping here."

"Wait, what, why?!" cried Opal.

"Bath."

Opal looked over herself. Filthy and splattered in blood. Then she looked at Rain. Absolutely drenched in blood.

"But we're both perfectly clean! we don't need nasty water on us!"

Rain's brow rose at that. "You know it's not surprising Goblins have a bad reputation."

"I'm not going in! No way!"

Rain picked her up and held her over his head kicking and screaming.

He marched down to the lake and dropped down the Kobold's chain then kicked a boulder over it to keep it in place.

"Stop! Let me down! Kobold slave, I demand you stop him!"

The Kobold looked up at the Goblin as though she had just told him that monsters and levelers could all live in harmony, in other words, bonkers crazy talk.

"Uh. I'm moving this up the chain of command, that would be your call your wolfliness, pleasedon'teatme!" said the Kobold as he ducked behind the boulder.

"NUUUU!!" cried Opal as Rain took a running leap and cannonballed into the lake with a Kersploosh!

The Goblin spluttered to the surface and spat water.

"Why do you do this! This is the worst!"

"Because it's good to be clean," he said as he grabbed her and dunked her below the surface. He held her down as he tore all her clothes off before letting her swim back to the surface.

"You're so mean about it too!" she pouted, her cheeks colouring.

Rain simply grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her away from the massive discoloured patch of water they had created. He then began rubbing her down with his paw pads, scrubbing her skin clean through dint of effort. He didn't even pretend shame and squeezed and pawed at her chest before moving on to the next part. Even her privates did not escape this treatment and the goblin made her gasps quite verbal. At last he came to her hair and ran his claws through her black locks over and over as she sat in his lap until it was as clean as he could manage.

The Goblin looked over her spotlessly clean body and scowled.

Rain lazed in the water and casually ran his paws over this own fur. He gave her the side eye.

"You're going to need to get used to it. I intend to bathe you at every single opportunity possible."

"GRAAH!" said the Goblin slamming her fists in the water. She turned on Rain.

"Fine. But this isn't going to be one sided."

She leapt on the wolf and began furiously rubbing his chest fur. Rain simply continued cleaning his arms and pretended not to notice. Her hands worked their way down his torso and abs until they were touching up to his oversized sheath, it had grown enormously since last time she had been with him, enough that she couldn't even get her hands around it. A lewd leer crossed her face as she began to fondle and rub at him, her breath coming in pants as her cheeks reddened. A huge paw came down and enclosed her hands however.

"We're about to attack some very dangerous monsters. Remember what happened last time? after the mushrooms? You couldn't walk straight for a full night and then you got kidnapped by slavers when your legs turned to jelly at the worst possible moment."

The Goblin made a strangled scream and slammed her small fists down on his thighs before flouncing away.

Rain sighed and relaxed back into his bathing routine.

Half an hour later he emerged from the lake and shook himself dry, his glossy clean black fur gleaming in the cavern light. He had the Kobold go and fetch Opal's clothing from the water and then he hung the clothing over a bush to dry. A little later he found Opal sulking and throwing pebbles in the lake. She looked up at him as though expecting a talk. Instead, he picked her up and put her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and marched back to her clothing while she swore up a storm. When she refused to put on clothes he began dressing her himself. He held her arms up In the air in one paw and carefully wrapped her chest with the other. Then lifted her off the ground and put her legs in the holes of her shorts before ramming them up causing her to yelp.

The Goblin looked like she was about to explode and her face was blushing bright red. Rain gravelled a laugh.

"You wanted me to do that didn't you."

Opal opened her mouth to angrily retort, paused, closed it, and bit her lip. She turned away as she reached new never before known heights of blushing.

The group set off and Opal, trying to avoid looking Rain in the eye, led the way.
