Stavanger Bay saltwater running through my veins

Classic Saucy XD

Though she appeared to look willfully ahead, Embry felt for a moment that she glanced over at him, and he struggled not to meet the woman's gaze. Instead, he kept his face angled upon his paws and the shining sands. He wasn't quite certain what to do with himself now that they were on more peaceful terms. In truth, he found combat to be a much more sociable reprieve. A nice stroll on the beach with this one wasn't too bad, though.

Her response made him enjoy the trek all the more. He was being allowed, ok? Certainly not accompanying or anything like that. 

"Wow, I'm so honored," he quipped, ears lowering at her little hmph. She packed a punch with that nudge, and his blue eyes widened, surprised by the sudden contact and admittedly knocked a little off-balance (he thought he had grown out of his clumsiness by now). He emit a soft growl as he righted himself.

"The fool?" he feigned offense. "But, your majesty... I could never match your skill at this role." And he chuckled even harder, returning a playful grin. As much as he wanted to hate it, he quite liked the idea of his nickname. Still, he wanted to know more about her.

"That wasn't quite the deal I was hinting at, though," he grunted. "Unless they all call you the Queen of the beach around here." Embry didn't let it leak that the name slightly annoyed him, because what it insinuated was that she would be linked to a King, and that King would not be himself. Of the beach? Perhaps, Ford? He shrugged it off and continued the teasing banter.

"Not that the alias isn't suiting, of course, but if you don't want to tell me your real name... I guess I just won't help you catch that fish for snacktime."
