Rather Be The Hunter Than The Prey

She heard her before she scented her. The sound of sloshing water was audible even over the lapping of the waves against the shoreline. Of course, the scent that kissed her nostrils allowed her to distinguish that it was her companion and not another wolf that was tailing her. That information led her to keep her attention mostly on the water rather than looking up. As a steadfast friend ally, she was afforded the trust to not have Blackfoot immediately turn to look at her. It was a hard won thing and not given freely but as far as Blackfoot was concerned, Hala had earned it, for now.

What she didn't expect was the sloshing to pick up, the sound of running. This caught her attention as her hackles raised, gaze slipping past Hala to see if anything was approaching that would have worried the dark she-wolf. But... no. There was nothing. Nothing from that direction or on Blackfoot's other side. So why run?

Her question was answered when Hala pulled and and threw a wave of water over her. Splashing her, causing her to blink in disbelief. Why had she--? Something as simple as "fun" was not a thing that the blue wolf ever thought of. She'd never had anyone try to splash her, or give her playful growls before. Her head tilted to the right, her tail gave two confused wags before it dawned on her what Hala wanted. A spar. To test skills. Ah, that, she understood. Although, she'd never had someone initiate in such a playful manner before.

It was... nice.

Though, she did not smile, she did snort in that lightly amused manner she would infrequently do. Then, she tucked her ears against her head, raised her own tail, and ran towards the other wolf. Her attempt was to charge head-on at Hala and ram the left side of her chest against her since she had a slightly heavier build. Perhaps she could make the other woman stumble or fall into the water, payback for the splashing she received. It also doubled to let her test the other woman's strength, to see her limitations and what she was made of. Important for someone she was traveling with, no?
