Blue eyes were fixed wide with shock as Keldava stared forwards, hardly daring to blink in case the sight before her vanished in that instant of darkness.
The pup had heard of the thing before her, after a moment of thought she conjured the name "Sea" to go with it, but she had never actually seen it before; her wanderings in Ichika had mostly been away from the sea and towards the mountains. Keldava had been tearing about her new home, eager to see as much as she could in as little time as possible, when she had accidentally come across the coastline.
Keldava crept forwards to take a closer look but ended up squeaking in shock when the odd yellow dirt collapsed under her, leaving her buried up to her belly! Fortunately the odd dirt was loose and didn't entirely trap her legs. Once her initial shock had abated Keldava took advantage of the weirdly soft and nice smelling dirt; spending a few minutes rolling around in it before she continued wading towards the sea.
The closer she got the easier it was to walk, the yellow dirt being slightly damp but more compact up here, allowing her to speed up from a slow wade to a steady jog as she approached the water, skidding into s play bow at the last second before touching the water. Keldava leaned down her nose to sniff at the water and recoiled as an incoming wave sent it up into her nostrils. Spluttering the puppy scrambled backwards and down onto her rear end, spitting up water and glaring at the waves.
Keldava regained her feet and positioned herself looking at an incoming wave, darting forward to snap at the water and then darting backwards quickly before it could do so much as wet her feet. Eventually the ferocity bled out of the actions and Keldava's tail started to wag as she darted backwards and forwards, happy yips coming from her mouth as she enjoyed her game with the waves.
