The image of his own face staring back at him was suddenly broken by the approaching female, who with out intention had sent ripples along the water's surface, warping the lines of his face into unrecognizable blobs of grey and silver. He lifted his head quickly, equally as startled as the poor female, who only managed to mutter a muffled apology before falling back.
"It's alright, I didn't see you coming at me either" he barked with a smile and a gentle wag of his tail. He had not been able to enter the depths of the water yet, but he didn't mind delaying his planned bath to meet a new face. In Galileo's agenda there was always time to stop and meet someone new.
"It's a pleasure to meet you either way -- I'm Galileo" he barked, offering a graceful dip of his head and a smile. The female had probably not seen him because she had the sky in her eyes, and he hadn't seen her because like his head was on the sky.
