Strangers are just friends you haven't yet met.

Swimming was on of the best training methods there were, and swimming until you almost sank beneath the water really pushed your limits, and pushing past her limits was something Isabella loved to do. Though today she could not try alone as Alphonso watched her from the shore line giving her advice and cheering her on. "Keep your chin up Madam Izzy! If you feel tired just come to land and swim longer the next time." Isabella almost smiled as she swam to land and crawled on shore. "I know Alphonso, I know." Laying down in a soggy mess she looked at the leopard gecko realizing she had started to care for herself a bit more since she had found him. She still trained hard but now she trained smart as well. Perhaps she did not want to leave him alone or see him saddened but either way she was as glad to have him as he was to have her. Moving to her side Alfonso nudged her a bit to coax her to rise. "Dry off of you'll catch a cold." Sighing at his kind but pushy words she stood and shook, purposely getting a bit of water on him. "Hey, give me time to move why don't ya?" Isabella simply turned her blue eyes on him, giving silence as her answer. The gecko sighed knowing he wouldn't get much more. "Come on then, let's find a good place for you to rest." "I don't need rest." Isabella spoke in her empty voice but followed the gecko anyway as he lead her to a place to rest not too far from the lake. It was a simple den, most likely an old fox or badger hole but served as a good place to sleep. Admitting her own tiredness Isabella first chuckled that it was empty then went in lay down and went to sleep. Alphonso settled closer to the front of the den to watch over her in between a few naps. Time passed and Isabella soon rose, dry and ready to move, maybe even to swim some more. "Come Alphonso let's-" She silliness herself as she caught scent of a wolf she had not yet met. After swimming she knew she wouldn't have the strength to fight if it came to that but perhaps she would have the speed to run if the wolf turned out to be aggressive. If it was sitting in the back of a den was not a good idea. If the wolf wasn't aggressive however she could be more at ease and not have to leave the lake. "Follow me, but not too close." As much as Alphonso liked to give orders he knew when to settle down and listen to Isabella. Nodding he waited for her to leave before he followed after her. Tracking the scent she made no move to hide herself as she searched for the wolf. Her fox like form walked with power and pride, her head ear and tail were as high as if she was an alpha and her steps showed careful planing. Seeing a charcoal wolf in the distance she paused a few body lengths away with Alphonso waiting several body lengths directly behind her. "Good day." She said to the stranger with her empty voice giving a dip of her head. "The lake is a nice rest in the summer, it feels it will be every bit as hot as the winter was cold." Simple words would do for now, she could judge the male from his reaction as her icy blue eyes went over him, sizing him up. Large compared to her and muscular, waiting for his reply she was ready to move any way based on his reaction. "My words are for all.""My thoughts are not." |
