He had been given a short tour of the facilities, as well as an overview of his new duties. It was going to be hard work and sounded like it would be rather perturbing, at times, but he held fast to Vitani’s words. He had a roof over his head, steady pay, and belonged to a pack of others like him. That thought still made him chuckle. All throughout his childhood, he had thought that he was rather special, now he finds out that he really isn’t, he was just sheltered and kept away from his father, who could have taught him about himself before his mother had chosen to. It was quite a bit to swallow at once, but he was managing well enough.
At least there was a pool, he thought, pushing through the swinging door to the pool room. He wrinkled his nose slightly at the pungent scent of chlorine filling the air. At least it was big enough for a nice swim. Apparently his duties didn’t really start until breakfast time this time around, so he still had some time. He had abandoned his shoes as quickly as he could once getting inside the hotel (they currently sat in his rather modest room on the lowest floor available to the pack along with his ragged backpack), so he simply stripped out of his shirt, revealing a strong, well-toned body, and slipped into the pool with a shallow dive. Kicking his legs together, he passed the whole length of the pool and touched the far wall before breaking the surface and refilling his lungs with air. A grin splayed across his face at finally being back in the water. Kicking his legs slightly, he flipped onto his back and spread his arms out to the sides, closed his eyes, and simply enjoyed the close embrace of the warm water.
