[size=medium]It was with caution and the eyes of a hawk that Nakai watched mischief take over his Queen's usually indifferent features and it worried him. And then, suddenly, icy water splashed his legs, even reaching his shoulder and staining his thick, grey-hued coat and elicited a surprised yelp from his throat. It took only seconds however for the watchful male to abandon all sense of propriety that typically dictated his behavior at the prospect of play. He gave a low growl of pure, unadulterated glee before following the female as she bounded away. His paws found a pool quickly and with a quick, forceful jump, he returned the favour, sending water cascading upwards aimed at the alpha.

A small smile played at the corners of his lips and blue eyes almost glowed with pleasure as he bounded around, watching the terrified shrimp and the icy water below his paws. Giving yet another low and deep growl, he snapped at the water in an effort to catch maybe one or two of the quick maritime animals. He did not succeed however and all he caught was a muzzle full of ice-cold salt-water, which he immediately shook from his face.[/size]
