#Kallus hates it when he shakes his wet fur out

[mayawakening]

Headcanon: Zeb smells like a wet dog.

Like, if you've seen his live-action appearance, you know this man is insanely fluffy, look at his arms. Have you ever bathed a large dog or cat before?

Animal fur takes a ridiculous amount of time to dry, even if you have a hair dryer for them, plus everything they touch instantly becomes damp.

Now imagine how uncomfortable it would be as a sentient humanoid coated in thick fur to have to get all of that wet. It would be so much heavier, and it would take forever to work soap into and then rinse out.

Then imagine doing that where there may or may not be a hair dryer available (if Sabine is being nice). For a 6'8", 250ibs guy, it could take HOURS to dry off enough that whatever clothing you put on isn't instantly soaked, not to mention how cold and uncomfortable it would feel in the process. Really the only other option is to sit naked on top of the ship and air-dry.

So the big guy probably doesnt shower until its absolutely necessary, because its an incredibly long and uncomfortable process for him.

Add onto that the fact that he probably DOES sweat a fair amount in combat and you got a kinda funky smelling lasat.

I like to think Kallus starts helping him bathe/scrub clean/towel dry him when its reasonable to, and gets him some of those anti-bacterial wipes that pet stores IRL have for dogs to help cut down on the funk.
