Sea Lion Shores what vexes all men? a woman

For a moment, Maera too found herself unsure of how to greet the man. Secretly she wished for their nosed and skin to touch, even if briefly, but as he made no move that suggested he wanted this as well, Maera limited herself to give a timid bow of her head. Only the female's smile and hazel eyes betrayed the flame's elation.

Pleased to what her little treasure hunt outing has come to, Maera lets a small yip to slip for her mouth before Axolotl's question reaches her. At first she feels complimented by his concern towards her well being, but then she wonders why would he doubt it? After the success of their hunt together one would think it was clear that both could take care of themselves. Maera was oblivious to the storm that had almost washed off Axolotl and several others. 

"i am" she confirmed, her tail drawing figures in the air as it continued to wag. "are you?" she woofed, flooded by a sudden concern that he might not be so.
