Wheeling Gull Isle angry smol

The Gampr is not 100% sure his tactic will work, but when he surfaces and can finally see again after shaking the water away, Seelie’s expression makes it clear that – for now at least – he was successful.

His short cropped ears fan back against his skull as he feigns concern about her approach, and he attempts to shimmy back away from her, but he doesn’t even have to pretend to be slower than her here. The water is her element, and while he has gotten better at navigating in it, he will never be half as graceful or efficient as she is.

His tail curls up in a cascade of displaced water and his hackles ruffle playful in mirror of his mate, and he rumbles a low growl when she flings herself upon him. For a moment he stands there and takes the abuse as she gnaws on him before staggering dramatically and sinking underwater again briefly, with the hope that the suddenness of the movement will end up momentarily submerging her as well.
