see you again

Some time had passed since he had spent time with his oceanic friend, and things were now a little different. An adult he now was, entering a new stage of his life though she herself wasn't far behind. Had he really known her for this entire year - four seasons? It seemed untrue, though he remained glad that their friendship had lasted so long, and would hopefully continue in the future.

So he found her noticeable blue form sitting by the rapids, dipping her paws into the water. Chestnut limbs carried him over, where he greeted her before sitting back on his haunches. "Hey," he softly murmured, hoping not to disturb her thoughtful state. A year ago, he would have been frightened of the rapids and the dark history behind them though now he found himself calmed by the water, like as if his father's presence brought a soothing aura over him.
