if i could tell her

now i know what i shoulda did

Her ruse seemed to be working, and it made Theory a little bit giddy. It felt good to command a certain kind of respect; she was so used to falling in line with her siblings. Noir was always making trouble, Verse was often off in her own world, and Poem and Motif were in a different league entirely. Poem, especially, in her preparations to eventually become Rhyme's successor. The thought caused a strange little itch, but Theory ignored it. Poem would make an excellent alpha, and maybe Theory would one day be able to lead by her side. What would this little stranger think of her then, second in command of Boreas' largest pack?

She noticed Thalia's slight hesitation. It seemed as if she was subconsciously searching for someone in the shadows - was her escort nearby? The other pup was younger than her, and Theo was a little surprised that there wasn't an adult hovering just over her shoulder. The lack of supervision suddenly made their entire meeting that much more interesting. Rhyme and Shaye knew everyone that Theory knew, but this little female could be a secret of her very own. Theory rolled her eyes at Thalia's stubborn response and gave her a dismissive flick of the tail. "Did too," she murmured under her breath.

Theory's eyes were carefully following another fish - she snatched it out of the water! But it was a small one. Wasting no time, she splashed towards the shore to toss her catch up on land. Disgruntled that she hadn't nabbed a bigger one to impress the younger girl, she headed back into the water just in time for Thalia to soak her completely as she dove headlong after another fish. Theory sputtered and shook out her coat, but was unable to withhold a little laugh. "Did you even catch anything?" She teased, wading towards Thalia to inspect the results of her dive. With a splash like that, all of the fish would likely be swimming for deeper, safer waters.

gone all day to the beach with you
