Tiptoe higher

He was often much more of an introvert, but he figured if such a lovely lady like this one like swimming as much as he did -- or at least enough to come all the way out here -- she must be pretty cool. With a slightly dramatic sigh, he plopped onto the ground near her. The shade was certainly a welcome relief from the sun's unrelenting rays, even though he knew if he got too hot, all he had to do was hop back in the water. He briefly shook his head, batting some water out of his eyes with a single paw.

"Nice to meet you too," he replied, offering her a sweet smile. Talon had to remember his manners, but it was awfully hard when he got so excited over meeting someone new. He let his silver gaze drift again, dancing over the strange green sand. It was like nothing he'd ever seen before!!

Maybe it's the only green beach ever, she suggested, and he nodded readily, agreeing with her fully. "Probably," he said, a bit matter-of-factly, nodding and considering the fact with furrowed brows for a moment.

He was probably a bit older than she realized, but he was rather skinny for his age, and his naivety made him seem that much younger. Perhaps if he was not quite so shy, he would've matured a bit more by now -- but he was content with taking life slowly, and carefully. "I told her I was going swimming," he said carefully. He didn't want his new friend making him go back home, but he also was fairly certain she would be less than impressed if she saw him swimming out quite so far.
