Otter Creek Splish Splash I was Taking A Bath

Her ears flipped towards the sky as the voice called out. Loud and eager, a contrast to the low energy greetings that transpired back home. She blankly stared for a few moments with wonderment. The stranger seemed to mean no harm but what did she say? Before she responded there were more words from the pale stranger.

Not mine. Was all that arrived when she finally spoke. She did not own the river and it was not Blackfeather land. Whatever flowed beneath the surface of the creek was not for Jakoul to claim. Silence would fall once more as she gently moved into the water, slowly getting closer to the stranger. She would test the waters literally and figuratively.

I...help? She asked with a raised brow. Did the stranger require assistance somehow? She required some sort of direction for her afternoon.
