I just wanna run like a child

Some wolves might be surprised that Kai had so smoothly gotten away with trespassing, but he wasn't really the type to really try to charm anyone into anything. He was just himself, plain and simple, without any strings attached... and also without much attention being paid to the fact that he technically was in Abaven's lands. But the water was different, right? At the very least it existed in some uncertain grey area, at least in his mind. Anyway, he'd distracted Theory enough that she didn't seem too upset about him being here now, or maybe she was just interested to chat with a fellow Acere-hater. Either way, he'd forgotten almost entirely how mad she'd been at him just moments ago.. at least for now.

Theory did look quite uncomfortable and Kai found himself growing amused at the notion. Sick of swimming - the water had never really been his thing, anyway - Kai rotated himself back onto his belly and began to wade toward the shore, keeping an eye on Theory like she might try to tackle him again. Her uncertainty earned a low chuckle from him. It was quite hard to tell if she was stumbling now because he'd not-so-subtly asked if he was her type, or... ah, yes. Her next question made the source of her confusion much more clear to him.

"They both have their perks," he admitted, sounding amused but hardly condescending. He gave his thick coat a bit shake, trying to rid himself of the water that felt like it was dragging him down. "Though I think it's less about what's better and more about... just liking what you like. At least for me. I can find beauty in almost anyone, just depends how hard I want to look," Kai grinned at the thought. He'd found himself attracted to wolves that didn't fit his normal standards, but it wasn't the type of thing he could really explain. How had they gotten on this topic, anyway? Did she so easily forget that he'd been trespassing? Ah, this leader of Abaven was a funny one..
