Verdant Basin coconut sharks in the water

His friend's sudden burst of a greeting almost startled him, golden-copper eyes widening with surprise as his head whipped around curiously. "Rory!" The youngster beamed when recognition struck him, a grin playing across his silvery muzzle and tail swaying at his hind. "Water is so cool." Cinder exclaimed, peering back toward where the shimmering basin lay; an ashen cloud shifted to block the sunlight for a few heartbeats, but soon drifted past and revealed it again, sparkling on the rippling surface of blue.

"I did think about it - but it's probably way too cold, right? I hope it gets warmer soon, and then I can do all the swimming." Yeah! He wanted to learn to swim like a fish; he could become the best and then show Tywyll that he was really awesome at something!
