Don't be afraid to catch feels

Wasn’t he fun? Never one to admit aloud just how deep her weakness for a little entertaining banter might run, Echo snorted and shot back with a roll of her eyes that was quite obviously exaggerated, ”Oh, how generous of you! Aren’t you a sweetie?” Sticking her tongue out for good measure, but adding in a playful wink to keep it light hearted, Echo suppressed the amused laughter bubbling up within her and substituted a few slaps of her tail against the water.

He was sharp, but not as quick some of the wolves back ‘home,’ if she could even call it that now. Loving the way her words caught him of guard, she was unable to hold back the cackling laughter that surged from her lungs, filling the space around them. When she composed herself, she gave him the smoothest, slyest grin she could manage. Acting as though she were inspecting one of the nearby palm trees with interest, Echo cooed, ”Oh, ya’ know, the usual. Shiny things and items of great value. You might’ve found yourself a target if I saw anything on you. Don’t worry, I checked as soon as I walked up.” glancing back over at him briefly to gauge his reaction, she murmured, ”But, you could totally help, we just need someone to steal from” prancing a circle in the water to motion at the lack of someone’s, she sighed, ”Might take a bit of legwork, though.” He might be a hindrance when trying to take shit… But then again, with fur that eye-catching, he was kind of the perfect distraction… Echo sensed opportunity.

If only he knew the half of it. Whether or not her story was interesting wasn’t something she usually spent a great deal of time pondering, but, yeah it might be kinda different compared to the residents of these lands. Shrugging while she strode through the water in lazy, meandering patterns, Echo hummed, ”Mh, I guess you could say that. I’m not exactly from around here, after all.” Coy as ever, the mysterious girl raised a brow, clearly eyeing him as she debated something internally. Eventually she broke the silence and motioned for him to approach her, ”Tell ya what, if you race me across the water I’ll tell ya’ whateverrrrr you want. Anything at all.” It was quite the deal, but Echo figured living in a new place meant it couldn’t hurt to share whatever she felt like. No one from her place of birth was going to find her here, right? So she could tell him all about her thieving ways. So long as he didn’t warn potential marks, they were cool.
