Bear Necessities
She watched him curiously, watching as he entered the water until he was fully submerged for a moment before rising again. Her head tilted with curiosity, watching as he did something she had never done. She never thought about swimming before, though she doubted this spot of the water was deep enough for her. The male seemed to enjoy himself, and hesitantly she shuffled forward a little as if something within her desired to do as he did. Would that be okay for her though? She had never gone swimming before, especially in the North because the water there was too frigid for them to swim in. But here? Perhaps Auster held better swimming places, and she was now curious about trying.
He responded to her question, calling it invigorating and asking her if she had ever done it before. Slowly she shook her head, ears falling half against her head, wide and innocent eyes looking on. "N-no...the water was much too cold where I was born, and I've never gone swimming before." She confessed, somewhat embarrassed by it. Was it uncommon for wolves like her not to have ever swam before? She had no idea. At the mention of the cave though, her curiosity only grew more. She stood up, stepping closer to the water but stopping just short of it. It was just water...she'd be alright, wouldn't she? If he could do it, so could she. With a deep breath, she stepped into the water and waded towards him, a small gasp slipping past her lips at the coldness, but it wasn't anywhere near as cold as it could have been. She approached the man, stopping just before the waterfall as she became hesitant again. The rush and roar of the water was almost deafening now that she was this close, but she was here now, and she didn't want to seem like she was a big baby.
Holding her breath, she dunked her head through the waterfall, feeling the rush of the water on her head and body as she strode further. She stood a couple of feet by his side, ears pressed against her head until she opened her blue eyes. They widened with fascination. He was right! There was a cave here! "Wow! I didn't know there were caves behind the waterfalls!" She exclaimed, her pup-like curiosity drawing her forward even more until her body had passed through the wall of water until she was within the cave. |
