Fight the break of dawn - Khumon - 01-17-2021
The sun was blistering today, but Khumon wasn’t complaining. Heat was wonderful, and bountiful here, and he enjoyed the sensation of his skin prickling dry as he basked in it. Tiny plumes of sand wavered in the breeze of each of his exhales, and he watched mesmerized from his position laying stretched out over the white, downy sand.
It was the perfect day.
The waves nearby rolled gently and easily, tickling his legs as if inviting him to come play in the surf. Not a bad idea, he thought. The sun was getting a little too stifling and the black overo colt was starting to get itchy to explore again. There was a whole, wide world underwater to experience and every corner, crevice, and canyon of it was worth checking out.
Khumon stretched, then rolled himself into the shallow surf. He hadn’t meant to, but his descent had startled a school of small silver fish, and he laughed as they darted this way and that in an attempt to get away from him. Their bodies gleamed brilliantly beneath the water when the sun caught them just right, and he stomped around playfully, trying to agitate them more into a shining frenzy. It was amusing for awhile, but he quickly grew bored and turned to venture deeper into the waiting sea.
That was until he saw someone else seeming materialize along the edge of the beach. Where had they come from, he wondered, and what should he do? Strangers were uncommon here and he didn’t really know what proper behavior was. So he guessed he’d resort to the next best thing and just go with his gut.
Sinking beneath the water to a point where only his eyes and ears remained visible, he giggled, causing bubbles to erupt from his nostrils and the water around them. When the newcomer was in just the right spot, he stood, issued a squeaky, “Gotcha!” then sent a lazy wall of water directly at them, tiny silver fish, seaweed and all.
OOC note: this takes place in dreamworld. he’s trying to play a prank and soak whoever has come to visit him
