Not My Cup Of Tea

Just one tug and she spun around, paddling after him through the shallows of this place. Kero splashed through the water and landed upon a rock at the bottom. It was just tall enough for him to stand more securely in pool. He turned around, a large grin on his face as his tongue lolled between his teeth. She was coming. Slowly as she didn't appear to have the height to touch as he did, but she was coming all the same.

Kero leapt back into the water. He dove, holding his breath as he disappeared beneath the surface and peeled an eye open just enough to spot her. He submerged beneath her, catching her just beneath the shoulders as he lifted her out of the water only to duck back into the waves and wiggle out from underneath her.

He re-emerged in the water further back into the cave. She was laughing. Laughing was a good sound. Like music to his ears. Kero shook his head, flinging the water from his crown, before he dipped his face back into the water and sucked in a sip. Lifting it back out, he spit a steady stream of water in her direction.
