Like A Flower In The Sun

Summer came rapidly to the land and it was starting out to be a hot summer already. The heat was good for Alphonso but Isabella was somewhat impartial to it so long as she could find a place to be comfortable every now and then. For now the most comfortable place was by any water source, all the better if she could be by her beloved Ocean. A place where rivers did what all waters did, returned to the Ocean, was a fine spot to be. As Isabella sat on a large rock on the bank of the river she looked to the Ocean with a smile on her face as Alphonso sunned himself.

"Ah, Spirit of the Ocean, may you give me comfort in this heat." She said her voice with kindness in it for the ocean she loved. Smiling she shook out her fur a little. Her winter coat was long gone by this point but it never hurt to shed any extra fur she could in the summer months. So, alone for the moment aside from the company of Alphonso it seemed she was alone, a good time to groom. Grooming was an act that was necessary, and though it involved no real emotion she liked to be alone when she tended to her fox colored fur.

It felt good to run her teeth through her fur getting out anything that would keep too much heat this summer. She started with her sides before she lifted her left front let and forced on that. By this time Alphonso had put more energy in looking around than basking and as he did he saw a white wolf in he distance. "Madam Izzy, we are not alone." He said softly making Isabella lower her paw and turn her head. Looking where the gecko indicated she saw a white wolf with blood on his fur a wolf she had met before. He was a hard wolf to forget both for the blood on his fur and his personalty, dominant, distant yet willing to take up conversation and give information.

"I know that wolf, Alphonso stay here I do not wish for you to get on this one's bad side. Only come if I call you." With that she jumped down from the rock and moved to the river he was at, standing at the opposite bank. She didn't get to gauge his full personalty lat time they met so it was good to be cautions while she learned more and spoke with one she could should an interesting conversation with. "Sin." She spoke to get his attention. In the presence of another her voice reverted back to its controlled state. "It has been some time. Are you well?"Though he was kind to her last time they met she knew by now any wolf with blood on his fur wore it as a trophy, any with a view like that would have to work even harder to win her trust than others.
