I like long walks on the beach

Lillith's bashful response about how she might kiss his wounds and make him feel better didn't go unnoticed by the young wolf very nearing adulthood. That little tidbit of interesting information was filed away for later use. So Lillith wasn't opposed to kisses now either, huh? Veeeery interesting... As he splashed his way through the water, Romulus turned to watch as the silver and snow blur of the Adravendi girl came barreling into the water after him in a spray of salt and sea. He smiled, then watched as she swam up behind him with this determined, wicked look on her face. A curious navy brow raised as she drew nearer, and it was only once she was upon him did he realize what the look was for. He felt her jaws latch onto his silver-furred tail, not nearly enough to hurt him, but definitely to feel her weight clamping onto his body.

"Aaaah! Oh no, shark attack!" he shouted out and began to barrel through the water again, using the buoyancy keeping Lil's weight afloat to drag her through the water by his tail. He alternated between laughing and mock screams of terror, beaming wide all the while she stayed on his tail. A daring gleam flashing through his eyes, Roman started pushing further out in the water until he was barely standing with the ocean's surface lapping at the base of his neck. Once he had Lillith out in the deeper part of the shoals, he took a deep breath and dove under the water, a sudden flick of his tail sliding it from between her jaws. Once he was free, he circled back around underneath Lil and then surged towards the surface, catching her across his back as he erupted into the air in a spray of saltwater.

He cheered triumphantly as he caught Lillith along his back, letting the smaller girl hold onto him and use him like a raft while he waded in the deeper parts of the shoals. His paws could still reach the sandy sea floor so he had no fear of drowning, but now she could relax and lounge across him while he floated her in the water, letting the warm ocean lap at her body. "Thought you might like to float around for a bit, enjoy some sun and sea water in your fur. I hear it's supposed to be very conditioning," he said with a wry smirk, as if Lillith's luxurious fur could get any better. He waded slowly around the water, letting the smaller girl just enjoy the sensations of floating on top of the water with his body supporting her so she'd never go under. "Have you ever been swimming in the ocean before, Lil?" he asked, wondering just how limited her life experiences were.
