Sea Lion Shores squid to be stolen

She would have been willing to stray from the shore, but he seemed to have reason to remain.  The disappointment was fleeting, the thought of the unlikelihood of their crossing paths again drowned by the idea of how fun it would be should that occur.  Never mind she was planning on leaving for a while and had no clue where he hoped to settle.

"Sounds great! I'll hold you to that."  She winked, then paused a brief moment before preparing to head out.  She didn't want to keep him from anything.  "Good luck in finding that water place.  For what it's worth, hope you stick around!" And not just because she had a lesson to collect on. The area could never have enough pleasant souls to run into. "I'll see you around!" With a final wave of her tail she bounded off, back towards the mountain that made her home.
