Not My Cup Of Tea

Kero paddled around in the water while she took the opportunity to crawl back onto solid ground. He watched her for a moment, wondering if she was up to something crafty, before he realized she was done. "What? Healthy wolf like you, tired already?" he teased, paddling over to the edge she'd climbed up on.

He pulled himself half out of the water and sat there, propped up on his elbows as she caught her breath. "Something like that," he replied to her comment about his being a fish. "Been awhile since I've had someone to swim with." His tail swished beneath him in the water. He was still feeling a little playful, but she appeared to be done with that. Too bad. He had energy to burn.

Nevertheless, he crawled fully out of the water this time. Standing nearby, he shook out his coat and glanced down at her. "Now what?" he asked, wondering what they'd be up to next. "I don't think you ever shared what you were doing with this cave." He glanced around. The entrance was somewhere back that direction, but there was still quite a bit left to explore.
