Other than him being drawn to her by her scent, he knew that she could become a valuable friend. It wasn’t everyday he could act like this.... then again if she stopped smelling like this would he still be allowed? He could tell she was fidgity, or at least it seemed that way to him. He needed things to do and running helped clear his head. Once in the water things seemed to hit him, though the scent still lingered, the cold water seemed to bring him more to his senses, but he was not having fun more as a pup would than as an adult trying to get the female, though he very much wanted her. He had to keep reminding himself, ‘just her scent, just her scent, it will pass’ over in his head. Just thinking about his cousin Titania, and the look of disappointment and anger on her face made him more apt to keep from doing the things he wanted to do. Zalen too, he respected and to mate with someone without either’s permission was bad. So he was happy that the water help distill his own need.
He laughed as she tried swimming in the shallow water. It was hard as he tried it after her, but it was fun. he braced himself as her splashes came to him, wetting his hair more, and the sap that held it up came out flattening on his head. He didn’t care. He was happy with his hair however it was, but he liked his hawk more than a flat hairdo. Once here barage of splashes were finished he used his own front paws to splash her. He grinned as she spoke.
“Oh did you now? I am a pretty good runner, I bet I could beat you again.”
He laughed. It was true he was agile. He was made for the chase, though he looked strong he could not take down a deer by himself like some could. He was made to be the one to chase the animal toward the ones that took it down. He grinned at her, wondering if she were that fast. It would be a fun contest. He splashed a little more before diving in and swimming around her, only coming up when he was sure he was behind her. He didn’t know if she had seen him and followed him but he did what he could to try to dunk her in the water by jumping at her.
