The caves, with so many around, they had become rather disgusting in places and the large Beast was not one for dirt. He hated it in fact. The snow was always so clean, barely ever a spec of dirt would he pick up. The pristine white so pure in every aspect. And the caves they just harbored dirt, being underground was not his thing. He needed to bathe and what better place than the Sunken falls to do such a thing.
As if stepping from clothing first, the Beast readied himself then waded into the cool waters. At first he stayed in the shallows, timidly walking around. The water was oddly cold at first, even though the Beast was used to temperatures much colder than the caves, which oddly still held a warmth to then, despite the lack of the warming ball of fire.
He pawed gently at the surface, such a soft touch for a large mammal. He played in the shallows for a little while, almost a foal; if only his size wasn't so large. His large tail slapped against the surface, creating a large area of ripples, intriguing him greatly. He always was amused by the water, but when you only saw frozen lakes, it was even more spectacular to see a pool of liquid.
Water flicked up in a great wave as his tail skimmed the top, splashing himself in the face, he chuckled softly, content. And at that he pushed deeper into the pool. A smooth transaction, almost as if he just fell face first into the water. The beast only went as deep as his cloven hooves could still touch the sandy bed, with his head still above. Dragging his long beard through the ripples, creating a smaller circle of them. Stupidly he put his nose straight into the water, enjoying himself a little too much. Only to be ruined by a silly, idiotic mistake. He choked on the water. His breath stolen from him for a brief moment in time. The Beast truly was new to all of this.
Feeling less sure about the water, he moved back to a safer depth, where he lay down in the cool pool, his tail flicked around, sprinkling water over his large boulder like bodice.

The Beast was so caught up with his own reflections, playing with the ripples and imagines that cast across the water, He barely even noticed he had company until the sound of someone plunging into the water came from behind him. He turned to glance with a slow motion. Never did he move very fast. He nearly would have missed it if it wasn't for the wings. Such a small little guy. The Beast smiled back as they seemed content in playing in the pool. He chuckled softly to himself. "So eager little one" He smiled at the sheer innocence of youth. Though you could say the Beast was still in his youth for the way he was acting also. "You can call me Beowulf little one. What can I call you?"

Seeing that the little foal was amused by the splashes; just as like himself. He lifted his thick massive tail and smacked it down into the water, creating a large wave of water in almost all direction. Some went so far it hit the cave walls along the side. He chuckled softly, as if they weren't already soaking wet, they would be now. At least the horrid stench of the caves had left his coat.

Little be known to the beast, but they had acquired another set of eyes a spectator in the sport the two children were playing.

The beast flicked the end of his tail, creating a little pool of ripples, he rolled to his side, rather awkwardly, then rocked back the other way, getting a motion to help his large size to his cloven hooves. Using his tail for balance as he managed to stand, rather slowly. But he got to his feet, only to have his tail slam hard down into the water. Splashing around yet again, as he turned to face the little grey guy.
