Mojito can't help but smile as the woman began to speak again, this time clearly and deliberately slower. He shook his head at her apology, it was refreshing enough to meet a friendly face, especially with his cousins lurking in his own home. She seemed nervous, and Mojito jumped quickly to reassure her, he found himself wanting to preserve her happy mood, maybe even make her smile? "No, no it's okay. You just startled me is all and you seem like a nice wolf so I don't mind." He glanced away sheepishly for a moment before turning his gaze back to the woman, this time his gaze clearly carrying a sort of determination. "I really don't mind, it's nice to see a friendly face." He'd leave it at that, though the words implied his own struggles with feeling accepted in his own family pack.

He chuckled as she dove below the surface again, and he followed the trail of bubbles that indicated her location. He waited for her to surface before he added his own comment. "My parents used to accompany me and my siblings here, we'd play in the shallows with my dad. I've loved the water ever since."

"Speech!"
