ears and kisses

Moonshine nodded lightly, eyes bright, as the other girl offered her own nickname to use. Moo didn’t lose the smile that played on her features, very much less mature than the slightly younger pup. Innocence held tightly to her, but was chipped away slightly as Aslatiel inched closer. She held still but until Asla’s lips met hers she was still moving, practically vibrating as she concentrated all of her efforts on sitting still.

Aslatiel caressed her ashen ear, but her focus transferred quickly to her kiss. For the first time in her life Moonshine stood completely still. Her eyes closed instinctively as her whole body settled for that moment. Her tail started to wag again as she was surprised by the lick of her tongue at the end and was almost sad when Asla moved away. Moonshine was never sad though.

Again she was bouncing happily in place as Aslatiel looked away from her and back across the ocean. The young pups heart beat as excitedly as her tail wagged. ”Yay! Moo-oon and Asla sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” She giggled happily and flopped over onto her back to wriggle in the sand, her tongue lolling out of her mouth in complete puppy happiness.
