Gilded Bay Deep Dark Unknown

Play? It very well could be called that, as it might appear in the eyes of another. And while Aliki did take enjoyment from dipping her muzzle and paws repeatedly in and out of the water, it served a greater purpose.

Her gray and black fur was disheveled. Spiked hackles on end, windswept against the natural line of her backbone. Making her appear wilder than she already was. She scooped up her paw, coming out with only a few grains and pebbles. She had been hoping for a shelled snack, or even a discarded trinket of the sea. No such luck.

So engrossed was she, that she did not notice the other wolf until they spoke up. At his voice, she snapped her dark head up suddenly. Fixing him with an intense stare, one paw raised, it was clear he had taken her by surprised. 

However, she was far from alarmed. He didn't seem to be a threat. "No. I am still searching for something that catches my eye." She provided simply.
