Naiche looked from the friendly salt-smelling lady to the horizon where the sun was setting and back to the lady. She was pretty but all that salt. Of course, he had the same salty smell as well, somehow that was a different story. Naiche would be swimming in a lake before he got home. “It’s nice,” offered agreeably, if not somewhat distracted. It wasn’t her fault, he was realizing how he wanted out of the water, but he wasn’t explaining that either. “I’m Naiche, nice to meet you Adelphie, I’m from the armada. Are you part of a pack?” Yup, not being able to tell that from scent was also irritating. Pan was apparently growing tired, the little Pangolin swimming back over to rest on the island known as Naiche’s back. “Um, thanks.” Naiche sounded a bit surprised at the compliment, “Not that I can recall.” He wanted to be strong, fierce, dangerous, those sorts of words. Pretty? That didn’t steal from those things but it didn’t fit the self-image he was going for. “It’s getting dark. I have no idea if the crocodiles in the swampland also come out here. I don’t think so, with less hiding places for their hunting but I’m going back to the shore to be safe. No idea what else is in the water.” Yup, blowing right past polite words to thoughts on practicality. No more saltwater swimming, ever. He didn’t ask her if she was coming but he assumed she might take that warning as a good reason. “Besides, I spent too much time waterlogged today. I’ll try some time on black sand.” The pangolin was quickly climbing up to its normal spot with back legs near his shoulders and front hands and head resting on Naiche’s forehead. Odd to get use to allowing something on him like that. “I’m guessing your just visiting also?” Unless she lived on fish there couldn’t be much food out here Naiche assumed, and he didn’t smell any signs of pack owning this territory.
