Teme Lupus is by Alaine!
Oak's admission that he hadn't been up a tree in a long time caused a mock-shocked expression to run over the males face. Since he was young and able to clamber into the lower lying branches he'd always loved being in the branches. When he'd been able to shift, the freedom had been great and many of his (rather brief) thoughts had come to fruition at the top of a tree. Well, we're going to have to sort that out. He said decisively, though he knew that today was probably not the day. It was too hot to be re-teaching the male to get up into a tree, plus Helexia didn't like it when she was abandoned on the ground. Snickering softly and pulling on the filly's fuzzy excuse for a mane, he made his move.
Oak appeared to have been moving towards the water as the flecks of water sent by Temeraire's hand hit him. The boy saw his new friend pause, before crashing into the water. It was a little chilly, but it was a rare hot day and Teme was making the most of it. Oak's agreement caused a barking laugh to come from the boy as a spray of water was sent his way, the reddish male giving chase. Picking up the pace, which was difficult when the water held his legs steady, Temeraire tried to jump back to shore as a larger spray tried to find him. Helexia was jumping about, trying to get both of them.
Alright, alright! I'm sorry! The boy pleaded, a laugh breaking his speech up slightly. Making a dive for the shore, Temeraire rolled slightly to absorb the impact of the ground. Hex remained in the water, head cocked slightly to the side as she tried to figure out what had happened. Laughing, Teme wiped the water from his face, half expecting another spray from the older male.
