Her dual-toned gaze is trained on the shimmering water as she investigates. Tiny fish and tadpoles swim around her legs, zipping back and forth as if she were nothing but a tree root. The tickle of their fins and little legs sends an odd sensation across her skin. An obsidian paw reaches forward to turn over a few rocks, moving closer to the glimmer of shine beneath the surface. Though the water is shallow, it's not shallow enough for her to stick her head under. Plus, it is rather chilly so she'd rather not get too wet and suffer hypothermia. Noticing that this particular glimmer is just a shiny rock, Gem moves a few feet farther down the creek in search of something worth keeping. When the stranger lets out a chuff, Hem's attention alerts Gem. Both of them look up, water drizzling from Gem's muzzle, ears perking and lips pulling up into a smile. His relaxed and nonthreatening posture was relieving. She was a social wolf and having her grumpy companion was not always enough for her. "I do not mind at all," she replies sweetly, her soft voice delicate and tinkling. "I was just searching the creek bed for geodes if you'd like to join," Gem offers, her tail swishing slowly through the water before her attention turns back to her task. |
Hematite, Gem's Mastiff, is always with her unless stated he isn't.
