One moment the boy was leading the girl by the hand and the next she was sprinting ahead of him. Ocean eyes blinked in confusion and the boy paused, until the words hit him in a rush. "I'll race you to the surf." With a foolish grin he set off after her, finding that his pause had given her quite the head start. Ahead of him he saw her feet flying beneath her, alternating one after the other and as he focused on her he began to gain speed. They were both all motion, two blurs that soon were side by side once more. Pripyat imagined the grey of his fur bleeding into her creamy coat as they rushed side by side trying to gain the lead once more, and he was pleased at the fantasy of their actually running so fast they melded into one another. It was only when they were very close to the water that he overtook her, and yet he did not rush into the surf. Winning the race wasn't the allure of the run.
With a sudden movement he turned and took her up in his arms, letting his own feet go out from beneath him but keeping Arye's slender body against his own burly one. As they tumbled to the ground, Pripyat took great joy in the splash of the water that they had reached. After hitting water their bodies met the wet sand beneath and Pripyat enjoyed this took, feeling the gritty wet stuff stick to their bodies. He eased his grip on the girl and grinned at her, finding the sand that had affixed it's self to her face more appealing. Sitting in the spray and foam of the ocean, he grinned at her, hoping she wouldn't be too sore from the experience, either physically or emotionally. "We win."
