A New Journey

She leaned forward at the invite to go for a swim, tempted by his explanation. Her trek across the lands had gathered quite a bit of grime on her, and it would feel good to take a nice long bath. Just the thought of the dirt gathered in her undercoat made her shake, causing loose fur to explode from her and float away to be carried on the soft breeze that drifted off the lake in the afternoon sun. She stood still as she watched him back himself up, distancing himself from the water's edge. Hadn't he just invited her for a swim? He paused to glance over at her, to which point she tilted her head slightly. Then he darted forward and she startled, not having expected him to have done so.

When he jumped into the lake, having landed with a splash, she ran up to the water's edge with eyes wide. For a moment, she wondered if he would come back up. Then he did, laughing, her facial features relaxed and she smiled at his antics. Silly wolf she thought to herself, her ears folding back as she relaxed. There would be no way someone like him would be interesting in hurting her. She chuckled herself, then began to step slowly from the sandy shallows into the crisp coolness of the lakewater. "Nice to meet you, Koda. I'm Enya." Deeper she stepped, inhaling as the water slowly moved from her paws up her legs to finally brush against the underside of her stomach. Maybe she should have followed the male's lead and jumped in herself instead of wading in. She shivered for a moment as the cold water chilled her, but as she waded out further into the water, letting the coolness wash over her back entirely, she grew used to the coolness and was soon floating in the open areas of the lake, avoiding the cattails.

While she floated, letting the water rinse her coat, she turned back to Koda and chuckled under her breath again. She was giddy with the pleasure of the environment around her, despite the hunger pains in her stomach. "Is this where you call home?" she inquired, flipping from her stomach over onto her back. Her front legs folded up and tucked in as her hind legs kicked out, moving her through the water. "It's so pretty here"
