Freedom!
Dammit! She would notice him. His attempt at potentially sneaking away without a word would be an ungranted wish. The silver femme had noticed him, his fault for approaching her in the first place. Ears flicked the droplets of water off, crimson gaze betraying nothing as he simply looked at her. It was a simple enough question, though Kakashi was hardly one to respond right away. After a long and uncomfortable silence, he would speak at last. "I'll have to agree on that. I haven't swam a distance like that in years, perhaps not even close." His expression remained stoic, thoughts carefully sealed away behind a mask. Voice cool and collected. He half turned around then, thinking that perhaps he had satisfied her with a brief answer though he wasn't sure if he was inclined to talking. But, that would be rude of him wouldn't it? So instead, he played it off as if he were simply staring out over the waters, a long swim indeed.
He gazed back at her, for the first time he would really take a good look as he sat down. After he curled his tail around his haunches, crimson gaze looked her over as he secretly searched for any sign of injury, but there would appear to be none. What he did note, however, was the lavender that wove throughout her fur, even going as far as marking her face in a unique X shape. Slowly, curiosity would take hold of him as his eyes followed the lavender trails before falling on her light green gaze. The colors along with her silver tones complimented her pretty well, but he would not comment about it. He had come across many different individuals in his five years of living, though she definitely had to be the most unusual of all.
Ah, the uncomfortable social situations he put others through. He knew it too, the male usually not saying much unless there was reason too or if he was comfortable with someone he got to know. Arian was definitely one of them, though even with her his conversation wasn't much to go off of. Mild curiosity struck him, however, as he wondered what she was doing out here all alone. She carried an underlying scent of a pack beneath the salt and smell of wet dog, did her pack live out here? "Coming back home after a trip on the mainland? If your pack lives here, then I will go." |
