Caught A Baseball With My Face

Aerndis shook out her coat, sending a spray of water into the air. She was just debating whether or not it was worth trying to get the squirrel when an unfamiliar voice called out to her. She turned to face a young woman with beautiful blue eyes. Aerndis grinned sheepishly. Of course, it was just her luck that someone was standing there to see her. How embarrassing! "Yea, they really are. I was just debating if it was worth trying to get at them." She gazed back up at the spot she'd thought the pinecone had fallen from but she didn't see any movement. The trees were silent now except for a light breeze tickling the trees and causing the needles to shiver. Where was the summer going in such a hurry? Even though it was balmy in the south she swore she could feel the shadow of autumn lurking just around the corner.

Aerndis turned back toward the woman and walked back up onto the shore, shaking the water off her hind legs one at a time. "Yes, I suppose it is a good day for a swim but I've still got a lot of exploring to do before nightfall. My name is Aerndis by the way. Who are you and what brings you to the Rio Grande?"
