In Character

Ciara knew that her playmate realized how uneasy she was at the thought of leaving him. She didn’t want him to be left alone, and wished that he could just join the pack tonight. The leaders would be sleeping by now, and it would be unwise to wake them. A soft whine left her when he nuzzled at her head, and she turned up to offer him a smile just as he took off for the shoreline. When he glanced over his shoulder at her, the yearling stood and shook the fur from her pelt, then began to follow him.

It was hard not to laugh when the boycoy realized he couldn’t drink from the ocean, for Ciara had learned that lesson as a pup. She’d been caught drinking it despite the salt one day, and for the entire time she was sick afterward her mother was less than nurturing. The woman had believed that if her daughter got herself into trouble, it was she who would have to fix it.

“You’re quite the swimmer, aren’t you,” she said, after Ceri’s head had emerged from the water. A laugh left her when he began to swim around in circles, and with a playful twitch of her tail she bounded in after him. She was quick to duck under with ears flattened to her head, and skilfully came up out of the water right beside Ceri. Then, she lifted her head and set it on top of the male’s back, giving him a playful nudge under the water.

A wind was picking up along the shoreline, and soon the waves became a little more bawmy. The girl decided to make a game of this, and could soon be seen diving headlong at the approaching swells as though she were attacking them. Playful growls left her, and her tail swished happily over the water. Soon, all the accidental mouthfuls of salty water became unpleasant, and she settled for gently clamping her jaws over Ceri’s tail and drawing her paws up. Anywhere he swam, he’d be tugging her along.
