His legs had begun to burn nicely in the water, the strong swimmer used to the coldness from his morning bathes. Although he had never actually swam in the ocean before and usually stuck to the freshwater of the spring of the lake, it was easy to see that Saul was at home in the water. A loud chuckle was given as Gideon offered to make a fire when they landed on the shore and a splash of water was shoved his way. Green eyes narrowed towards his brothers identical orbs and he flashed his teeth playfully. Saul couldn't lash back at Gideon- he still had the basket balanced carefully on his head and he didnt want to jeapordise their food. It took about ten minutes for the timber wolf to reach the shore and as his hands scraped the rocks on the shore he stood, confident that his feet would touch the shore. Hands came up to grasp the basket and he pulled himself up onto the shore.
"A fire would be great Giddy! Just dont burn yourself!"
He tried to turn his precautionary warning into a joke, tail flashing back and forward and sending a spray of water over the beach. Placing the basket a little way away he spent a moment shaking his body thoroughly to get rid of the water. He was damp when he had finished but no longer dripping. Green eyes however had spotted Ascher, unsure on the other shore. Concern for his youngest brother took over him and Saul was tempted to go over and get him. But he knew he needed to let his little brother fend for himself and grow up a little. He seemed to be struggling when he finally managed to get in the water and Saul watched like a nervous mother as he brother struggled to make the crossing. His panted question made Saul smile softly and he called out to his brother.
"A little bit of exercise in the mornings never did no harm... as we have just proved!"
He smiled and watched as his brother appeared to get the hang of swimming. Ascher appeared to get his rhythm and soon enough he had dragged himself up onto the shore. Saul reached down and clapped his brother on the back, proud of him for facing something he wasnt totally sure of before. However, Saul wondered if Ascher would be okay getting back to the mainland. They would jump that hurdle when they had to. Sun shone down on his back and Saul lapped up the light. Ascher asked him a question and Saul gave a grin. Setting down the basket he took out three medium rabbits that needed skinning, four apples, two bundles of nuts that he had collected a while ago. He dug out two oranges that he had found around the house and they were still fresh. There were a few strips of dried deer meat that he had also found. That made their picnic. Glancing up at his brother he grinned softly.
"You'll be fine in a minute! Would you like to skin this rabbit while I do one of the others? We could roast them over Giddy's roaring fire!"
He said, reaching down and tossing Ascher one of the rabbits while he set about slicing the skin and pulling it over the rabbits head like a jumper. It was easy to do once you knew how and Saul was done with the first one before too long. Now for the other one. Once he had skinned the two of his he found a large stick and skewered both rabbits on the stick. Looking up at Ascher expectantly, Saul waited for the third rabbit so he could add it to the pole to roast. Now he only needed to fire and they would be away.
