Prima had been straying farther from the makeshift den she'd built herself ever since the encounter with Shiv. She padded across the brittle, frozen leaves and the light dusting of snow, her paws moving soft on the ground. It wasn't long before she neared a lake, a big one covered in a thin layer of ice.
The petite silver girl reached forward with a paw, breaking the surface with a downwards motion so that she could dip her crown and lap at the water, the icy liquid promptly relieving her mouth. She dipped a paw into the water, again testing the temperature, quickly deeming it very cold, therefore suitable for a thrilling. A cannonball session, maybe? Prima would love to have that.
Half annoyed, half amused by his own need to fight, the Dragonblood trotted over the borders of the Caldera and began moving towards who knows where, deciding to follow where his paws and instincts, he had no set destination in mind anyways. Theseus did not keep track of time, so he had no idea how many hours, days, weeks it had taken him to come here, but he knew he was here and there was a girl. Naturally, the male began checking her out. Hey! He wasn't married, nor did he have a girlfriend of any sort, he was free to do things like that.
"Yo!" he shouted at her, quite some distance behind her.
The petite girl was about to cannonball herself in the icy lake when a voice sounded. She turned and spotted the male that was moving towards her, his eyes a bright aqua. Prima shrugged, glad for some company, if, well, he was up for it. Come to think of it, the last time she had company, she was jumping off tree stumps with birds. Not that she didn't enjoy it...
"Hey!" She called back, the winning smile natural on her delicate features. "You out here to break some ice?" By that she meant both literally and as a figure of speech, as after all, it was winter and the season was hard work. It would make sense if the male had came to cool off a little, and to break the chilling atmosphere and the thin layer of ice atop the lake.
The girl responded, drawing a smile onto his lips, Theseus began making his way towards her, noticing the lake she stood on was covered with a thin layer of ice. A very thin layer of ice. Whatever. That just made everything more fun, maybe this girl was also a daredevil like himself, and was going to do a whole load of dangerous things you could do when you had a lake that was frozen over, but probably had extremely cold water underneath. Excitement and adrenaline coursed through his veins, and soon he stood next to the girl.
Looks like you've already broken the ice,the Chinese said, laughing softly.
Gazing into the icy cold water, Theseus grinned, a dangerous gleam in his eyes, the gleam only appeared when he was about to do something dangerous, something a normal wolf wouldn't do on a daily basis.
So,he said, shaking himself, getting ready to dive in.
You wanna go for a dip in the lake?he asked, turning to look at her, still not knowing her name. It was probably not normal to go on a dip in the lake with a stranger who's name you didn't even know, but Theseus was all about not being normal.
”Course I have. I meant a little bit more.” Prima's lip quirked up, light eyes glimmering. She was already beginning to take a liking to this male, whatever his name was. Not knowing she was mirroring his thoughts, she said, ”Sure, but I'd like to know your name first before I go swimming in sub-zero water with you. I'm Prima.”
She then placed a paw precariously on a floating piece of broken ice. Sure she had broken it. She grinned at the guy with the aqua eyes, her limb still stretched from her body, excitement bubbling up inside of her. The petite girl wasn't really afraid of chilling water— in fact, she enjoyed the thrill it gave her. After all, her body was accustomed to such conditions.
The sterling wolfess flashed a playful smile at the other wolf. ”How do you suggest we go in? I was planning on doing the cannonball before you came, but, well...”
Prima, eh? I'm Theseus. Theseus DragonbloodSaying his name was Dragonblood was way easier now that he was basically feeding that piece of information to everyone. It was way easier to introduce himself as a Dragonblood than to say Theseus Long and wait for the questions to arrive and waste time answering them. Expecially when he answered them and they still didn't understand what he meant. It annoyed him to no end.
"How do you suggest we go in? I was planning on doing the cannonball before you came, but, well...” Theseus merely shrugged, he never planned, that was just......not him.
I don't do plans, lady.He flashed her what he thought was a winning smirk and dove in, head first.
Bad Idea. Kids, please to not follow Theseus's bad example.
She snickered lightly. Dragonblood. That pretty much explained. ”Good to meet you, Theseus Dragonblood.”
When Prima mentioned the "prior planning", the aqua-eyed male simply shook his head and said no, the devilish grin on his face, before barrelling headfirst into the icy water. Shrugging, the petite silver wolfess called, ”I didn't actually mean a legit plan, but whatever!” And she launched herself upwards, kicking with her strong back limbs, before arching her head in between her limbs as if to form a ball with her body. Prima landed into the icy water with a sploosh, the shock from the cold greeting her face-first, never failing to satisfy her.
The small two-toned female ascended towards the surface before breaking through the water with a gasp, a grin immediately forming on her lips as she did so. ”D—Damn! That was awesome!”
Once he landed into the water, he heard nothing of what Prima said, he didn't hear her saying that she didn't mean a legit plan. But he did see the splashes of water and the sheer force of something bashing straight into the water. Well, looks like the silver female followed his lead, but perhaps used another way of leaping into the ice cold waters.
Head bobbing on the surface, the bicolored male floated easily, having lived by the sea most of his life. ”D—Damn! That was awesome!” said Prima, floating up a moment later. Theseus laughed, a smile on his face. 'That was absolutely brilliant. Gotta do that more often, eh?"
Prima began to make her way towards the shore as Theseus' head bobbed up onto the water— well, she seemed to be a relatively long distance away from land. Looks like she'd leaped pretty far this time.
”I know, right, totally! In fact, I'm gonna do it again!” She called back at her companion, the twinkle evident in her pale blue eyes. The chill of having slammed into ice-cold water headfirst hummed through her petite frame, strumming, thrumming, alive. She was alive, and for that, her grin was sheer gratitude.
Under the soft glow of the winter sun, she leapt into the water once more with a joyful whoop, hoping she wouldn't catch hypothermia. Well, her body was pretty accustomed, so tough chance. This time, she aimed for wherever Theseus was at, even though she wasn't planning to barrel into the male head-first. Well, she may or may not be.
She was like an actual cannonball.
Soon enough the whole session ended, and with an exchange of goodbyes, she left the scene with a bounce in her feet.
