Sivvus strips naked the moment they get to a river, wading in to wash the Mindflayer muck out of his hair and off his body.
Astarion whistles
Gale turns red as a beet and starts saying things like "HOOOBOYYY" and "GOSH, WELL"
but then flinches and makes a pained expression at himself, rubs his forehead, turns around to face away, turns back to ask a question, fumbles, turns away again, puts his fists on his hips and sighs really loudly and then realizes that makes no sense, points at a bird,
"YOU know those are rare in these parts-" voice cracks, clears his throat, rocks back and forth on his heels, "MmmhmMM! YES. Very. Very... ah... shall- are we stopping, now? Should we camp set up- set up camp perhaps-"
Sivvus, undisturbed, only submerged to his mid thigh with every expanse of his smooth, hairless, un-scarred, toned body on full display: "You all should bathe as well, I can smell you from here."
Astarion, unsure if he can tolerate running water yet: "And miss the show? Mm, I think I'll watch from here, darling."
Gale: "IM actually Quite FINE. Not that you aren't fine, Sivvus. You are very, very fine I just mean- for cleanliness I'm fine. You're, you- ah. I'll. Later."
Sivvus, deep frowny: "You're disgusting. Get in the river, both of you."
On that day a few things were learned: Sivvus has no concept of body shame.Astarion can go in running water, and Gale? Gale bathes with his entire outfit on.
Apparently.
When in company.
He also, by the look of the stream of bubbles coming up when he dunked his head, may or may not have taken the opportunity to scream under cover of River.
