OOC: Thought I'd start winding this down! :D

IC: Panting heavily, the she-wolf finally was given the room to lift herself to her feet. She did so slowly, allowing the chill ocean water to trickle down her legs and drip off her belly, but there was a sly look in her eyes. Kisu was watching her, so he would certainly be able to counter any action she took... But what would he do if her action was seemingly innocent?

Jinx felt a shiver working its way down her spine, and when it reached that special spot along the column right at the base of her tail that trigged all canine's instinct, she shook her fur out violently, sending a look Kisu's way that said, aha! Got you now! She bet he hadn't been expecting her to suddenly shower him with the water her fur had collected from being forced down into the waves!

With a gleeful wolfish grin that had her tongue sitting slackly cradled by her lower teeth, Jinx began to make her way back to the shoreline.
