the early morning, streaked by citrine orange rays of sunlight that shine through the thick, concealing grey clouds defiantly during the short times that they drift across the sky painted in colors of candyfloss blue, pink and purples. mostly, though, hadrian feels the heavy weight of the oppressive clouds of the overcast morning, weaving through the fog that lingers over the basin, feeling and breathing the sticky moisture that causes the hair at his nape to curl.
a focus of frostbound silver gaze on the rich emerald grass beneath his paws — slick with morning dew — and the blue lagoon stretching out before him as he moves towards its bank tells him that on a more pleasant day this basin is probably quite a sight to behold. even now: concealed by overcast sky and writhing fog the legionnaire can tell that it's a gem of a territory nestled, hidden, protected contently in the heart of the hinterlands.
he stretches languidly for a moment, the pull of muscles shaking off the last vestiges of sleep before he bows his head towards the lagoon waters and laps at them eagerly finding that its as crisp and refreshing as the basin promises.

When Nagi saw the body of water, she couldn't resist. She charged down the sloped land, woofing in delight as her tail wagged a happy rhythm of joy. Brother Lake, here I come! she thought to herself, not even aware that technically this was a basin and not a lake. Even if she had known, it probably wouldn't have stopped her from calling it a lake anyways.
Having grown up on the shores of a lake, Nagi felt that she had a strong connection with lake-like bodies of waters. Every lake had a slightly different feel to it. But all were similar in that they were just so comforting to be around!
It was then that Nagi caught sight of the monochromatic wolf that was definitely not a part of the lake. She applied her brakes, skidding a little bit in the process. Her paw pads didn't appreciate it, but they would survive. Who cared about them when there was a new wolf to interact with? Maybe this one would be much friendlier than the last stranger she met.
"Hey!" she barked out in a friendly greeting as she approached. Thankfully, she was now in control of her speed and moved at a non-frightening pace.
