Like a flower waiting to bloom.
Her ears twist towards the rumbling sound, coming from high above them, but it isn’t till the flash that she flinches. A snort and a step closer towards the sapphire tobiano is how she reacts, the sudden flash having startled her. There is no fear, as she tils her head into his touch, and neither does she need much more encouragement when he invites her deeper into the sea. “Thought you’d never ask,” not that Ivar ever asks, but what is the fun in admitting that?
The waves gently roll against her legs where she stands only knee deep into the sea. For a moment, Kylin just enjoys the feeling, hazel eyes closed. Only to open when she feels the first spatters land on her two toned hide. While tilting her head back, towards the rain, she is unable to smile, thoroughly enjoying the sensation. If not for the coming thunder, Kylin would’ve loved a rainy swim.
But before she can voice her worries, he tells her to forget about them. Her dished head tilts, but Ivar does not give her the chance to question it. On command, she relaxes, and the playful smile returns to her lips as the rain cascades down on them. “Looks like it’s getting dark anyway” she replies, her hazel eyes focussing on the sapphire blue and gold and white kelpie as he retreats further into sea.
His transformation never fails to amaze her, ever only making her heart flutter, instead of scaring her. Kylin has never seen the beast hidden under a beautiful shiny outer layer. Her legs carry her after him, and the rougher growing waves lap at her, as if to urge her to move quicker. She does not stop until she has reached him, the water now flowing just across her back.
Tentatively she reaches out, searching, longing for his touch, which she had been deprived of for a while. “What is the sea like, during a storm like this?”
Kylin
