For a brief moment, it seemed as if the alabaster pup had noticed Kiara's presence. Her smaller body tensed and her ears flicked as she listened and waited. Kiara froze, paused in mid step as the huntress waited for her quarry to settle down. It wasn't long before Lucia went back to nodding off, her small frame relaxing as her breaths began to slow. Sleep had taken hold of the pup and was slowly dragging her under. Kiara would see to it that her daughter wasn't there for long.
With a mighty burst of speed and a great howl, Kiara emerged from the bushes. She landed next to her daughter, muscles bunched and ready for anything. The pup jumped high into the air as she was awoken by the loud onslaught. Suddenly, Lucia was careening backwords and landed back first into the water with a clamorous splash. Kiara began to laugh as Lucia doggy paddled to show looking quite put off. Her sapphire eyes blazed until they filled with recognition. Kiara could almost see the pups thoughts, which were pobably along the lines of "only my mother."
Lucia stuck her tongue out defiantly and began to splash in the water. A few of the waves came up and caught Kiara, but most fell shy of their target. Water clung to the arctic female's summer coat and she quickly shook the droplets off. Her tail wagged gaily in the air as Lucia rose out of the water. Kiara waited patiently on the banks as Lucia shook herself dry. A content smile stretched across the mother's face as she remembered the times when Lucia was much smaller. Her daughter had grown so big, and would someday become a beautiful wolf. The young female would break the hearts of many males, but until then she belonged solely to Kaira.
Once semi-dry, the pup's fur puffed out like a squirrel tail. Lucia's accents of red and grey became more prominent and she closely resembled the little hairball of pup that she once was. Kiara gave another laugh and let out a playful growl as Lucia tried to topple her mother into the water. Lucia had grown large and although she had yet to reach her adult size, the pup was not as easy to push around. Kiara brought one of her front paws up, intending to push Lucia down a bit so that it would be easier to grab onto the scruff of her neck. Kiara's tail continued to wag as she wrestled loudly with Lucia, but soon the pups antics won and Kiara toppled into the water.
