He waited until Tonravik made herself at home with her muzzle upon that rock before shifting again. There. Floating like this seemed to ease the tension from her shoulders and brought a soft rumble of approval from his mate. Little things. He growled back, glad to be of some assistance for her before he removed his head from the stone and paddled back towards the edge of the water.
He drew himself from the pool and shook the water from his pelt. A clatter sounded elsewhere in the cave. His ears turned immediately, his instinct to hunt and explore the commotion in this otherwise still cave. Nose to the earth, he hunted down the sound and found a small kind of crustacean against the cavern wall. It must have clung to the fur in his coat when he'd been in the water and died on impact when he shook himself.
He had no word to describe the crawfish. He'd never seen one before, nor was he familiar with their larger lobster kin. Still, he carried it within his jaws towards the edge of the water where Tonravik might see it when she emerged. That water was wonderful, but also inhabited. Good to know.
