Greatwater Lake we are the reckless

Heph blinked as a small wave of water rippled towards her from Atka's playful movement and the swish of her tail. Chuckling breathily herself she shook out droplets from her mane, twisting her head, good-naturedly sending droplets flying towards the white-colored wolf her own tail unsettling the water and sending small waves out into the shallows.

She followed Atka's far-off gaze and considered her question. Heph had heard that there was an ocean and a coast up north, but she had no idea what really differentiated an ocean from a lake, she had assumed the coast that they spoke of was simply to a large enough lake that no one traversed it. She had seen some lakes that were large, deep, or dangerous enough to warrant such caution. Shaking her head slightly she answered, soft but with less humor than before. "No, have you?"

It was a strange feeling, all the wolves Heph had been close to she had grown up with in the same pack, in the same family even. They knew everything about her and she knew everything about them. But she found herself wanting to know, about Atka, wanting Atka to know something of her, no matter how little the past revealed of the future.
