It wasn't that Maverick was inept to read and understand social cues—it was that he simply didn't care if he didn't have to. It got so tiring and tedious having to stand on ceremony, attempting to impress every pompous puffed up wolf who thought themselves higher than you when they still bled red and their shit still stank. It was far easier to just be and let others be as well. Sometimes he came off as rude, other times as refreshing. It all depended on perspective. From the expressions the lithe woman was wearing on her face, he assumed she fell into the former category. Well, that just meant he'd have the opportunity to turn her mood around. If he couldn't, then at least he could get her help for one excellent stunt before she went about her way.

Maverick waited barely patiently beside the oak tree while the woman hesitated, considering him and studying him. He was on the brink of tapping his paw impatiently when she finally relented, slowly sauntering over towards him at her own pace. He made a dramatic show of rolling his turquoise eyes and gave her a wide, all-too-friendly smile as he corrected himself. "Please do me a favor and stand here?" he asked, passing the rope off to her once she came over. Once the she-wolf had a good hold on the rope, Maverick stepped back to look at her in the bigger picture, then came back up and lifted large paws to the fae's sides and very gently ushered her back a step or two, closer to the trunk of the tree. "Okay, just gotta... There we go. Don't wanna accidentally hit you. That face is much too pretty to fuck up." With a click of his tongue, a wink, and a devilish grin, Mav stepped back and looked at his assistant's readjusted position before nodding his head. "Oh hell yeah, now we're talking! Whatever you do, don't move or let go, okay? Trust me!"

With that, Maverick ran off a few paces into the nearby woods. He shifted his weight back and forth on his paws, eyes locked with steely focus on the oak tree at the edge of the cliff. Then, with all his might, the dire brute kicked off the ground and ran full tilt sprint for the cliff. Massive paws thundered over the dry ground and soft grass, running for the tree, but just slightly past it. His eyes saw the opposite end of the rope hanging in the air and he gunned for it. Once he was within striking distance, he lunged and snatched up the hanging rope with his jaws just as he went flying off the edge of the cliff. Hanging onto the rope, Maverick swung out over the cliff, the lady's weight on the other end offering a pretty much perfect counterbalance to allow him to swing even further out into open air. Once he reached the height of his swing, he let go of the rope, doing a somersault in the air with a whooping cheer before falling straight down into the water below. "Awooooooo!" the brute howled before his cries were cut off by the splashing of his body hitting the water.

All at once, the heat of summer was replaced by the refreshing coolness of the ocean engulfing him. Maverick opened his eyes to find himself underwater. It had worked! Smiling proudly to himself, the wolf swam below the surface for a few moments, not resurfacing immediately but enjoying the cool water slicking off dust and sweat from his pelt before finally making his way up to the shimmering surface. He breached the water with a gasp and another cheer, treading water for a moment before turning to find the other wolf at the top of the cliff. "Did that look as fun as it felt?" he shouted up to her, wading his way over to the nearest segment of shore and realizing he had definitely crossed the border in his dive, but oh well. He trudged up the soft sands and back up to the top of the cliff, his fur dripping wet and slicked to his toned muscles, shown off by his wet form with every step he took. "That was worth all the effort!" the white and navy wolf said with a gleeful grin and lively eyes while he padded back up to stand next to his accomplice to awesomeness. "Thanks for not letting me die, I appreciate it. You wanna give it a try now? The water's nice and refreshing!"
