Not more than a stride in front of him she crests the edge of the tide flowing to and fro. Droplets of salt water splash against her flesh as she dashes forwards. Carmel ears perked in challenge. He easily catches up and her victory is short lived. The pace she had maintained quickened with a burst of energy as she feels his muzzle across her hide. He shouts a challenge back that she gladly accepts. Crown lowering in determination.
Racing along the shore lines the breeze lifts her gown of bright feathers. Sending them streaming behind her. They were useless in flight. Too long and flimsy. In their absence you can now make out the scars that crossed her carmel coat. They traced along each bone, outlining the skeleton that laid underneath; shoulder, ribs, hip... She is lost in their game so she hardly notices. Seeing him slowing and waiting for her she laughs. She does not slow but increases her speed. Coming up quickly to his side then matching his stride.
There is a bend in the shoreline just ahead. So as they come up on it she slows. Rapid breaths heave from her lungs as she slides to a stop. The sands and water splash upwards against her underbelly. Casting her eyes across the open waters she watches a pod of whales crest the surface. The breeze tossing about her tresses and feathers. Soon he joins her, returning to her side. A grin appears on her lips as she reaches out to him, a soft touch to his cheek. In a sweet but flirty tone, "No... You're it."
