Awakening

The femme smiled and nodded when he simply said the name Koda and padded off, giving her a bump with his nose. She stood up and bounded over to him, her paws light on the soft, grassy earth. For boys they had Rune, Bausil, Echo, and Koda. For girls, Mica, Lune, Sorrel, Ivy, and Fern. She smiled and nodded. Sounded good for her. She noticed him examining the lake and it's banks. She grinned, knowing exactly what he was doing. She padded over and ducked her nose into the crystal clear, cold water and began to take a few small sips. She picked her head out and waded in, the cool water feeling soft and sweet and it sunk into her long, white coat. She padded out in the lake until her paws could hardly touch the bottom, before she dunked her head under, pushing with her paws until she was floating easily in the middle of the lake. She swivelled her dome around to look at Yiska on the shore, and gave a tiny giggle. Just as she did so, she sucked in a bunch of water through her nose and sneezed it out, and she began to laugh even harder. Her laughing quickly subsided as she sunk under the water, and burst back out. She stared at her mate with wide eyes for a moment, before she grinned and began to swim around.

The ivory Alphesse could did not realize when Yiska had raced off, and come flying back. The only thing she realized was when there was a wave of water that washed over her head, forcing her under the water. She came above for a moment, taking in a deep breath before she felt a nip on one of her paws. She yipped and dunked under, dashing away from him and back again, body checking him lightly. Of course, she had no choice but to be light, considering the water was restricting her motions. She let her paws dangle on the bottom, before she dashed up and took a deep breath. She hated how the water restricted her movements, and she hated how short of breath she was right now. She sighed, and dunked back under.

After running out of breath again underwater, the femme felt tired and weightless. Suddenly, she felt a soft touch beneath her as she was lifted, her head resting on Yiska's neck lightly, and poked above the water. She continued to rise until Yiska was out of the water enough to speak and breathe. Was she okay? Tired, breathless, but, yes, she was fine. She would keep in high spirits for now. Usually, when her mood begins to go south, she refuses to speak as much and would rather just mope around. For the sake of her new, amazing side, she figured it'd be best if she just told Yiska she was tired and leave it at that.
"Ya, I'm fine just tired.. What about you?" she asked as she yawned into his fur. She let her paws dangle off his back for a moment, before she slid off his back and paddled to shore. She climbed up and padded to the grass where she sprawled out in the sun. That swim made her exhausted, she realized, before she positioned herself so she can see him clearly, her optics drooping closed.
