It would have been a lie if Ceri had said he didn’t already think this girl was completely and undeniably adorable. The way she responded to his actions with shy touches, the way she almost batted her lashes in innocence whenever she looked at him; it was almost too much for the coywolf to bear! But bear it he must, for this girl had rapidly climbed to the top of his list of interests, and without even trying very hard. As his tail wagged contentedly behind him, Cerberus watched the girl shake off her fur and poke his shoulder with her nose before playfully scolding him. He chuckled then, the sound soft yet sweet as he offered a light wink before she trotted off to the water’s edge. His attention was fully on her now, and it wasn’t bound to go anywhere else soon.
Her stalk and attack was executed quickly, and his eyes didn’t neglect to widen as she emerged from the splashing waters with a fish between her teeth. But shock soon gave way to pure amusement as she stumbled and then finally tugged herself out of the water, and Ceri ground his thick claws into the neck of the fish to cease its flopping before he stretched forward to give the girl’s head a reassuring lick. That was very good, he praised. There may be hope for you yet. With a bright laugh, Cerberus looked down at the fish she’d caught for him and then snatched it up in his jaws, nearly slurping down the kill before turning back to the girl. It was then that he noticed how truly unmarred her youthful flesh was, and he memorized her appearance with the careful raise of a brow. Though she was young, she certainly couldn’t be less than a year old, as she carried herself with the air of a maturing woman. This greatly increased the likelihood that he would stick around long enough to see what this girl was all about…as if he hadn’t planned on doing that anyway.
Licking his lips clean once again, Cerberus waited for the she-wolf to finish her own fish before nestling down on his haunches beside her. Now, he said, the sway of his tail increasing to a fervent wag, it’s time for your next lesson: swimming. With a wicked grin, Cerberus nudged his head into the girl’s slender body, aiming to knock her back into the water. Leaping to his feet, he readied himself to dive in after her…that is, if his attack had been successful. He was too excited to clearly pay attention.
