Welcome to Gaia! ::

The splash of the surf ebbed and flowed across the shore as a young highblood made her way along the beach. A pail filled with various shells clapped against her leg as she carried it alongside her. Her normal overalls had been swapped out for dungarees in her signature purple. Today was the first day in a while that RatDad had allowed her to take a break from training and she was determined to make the most of it. She ran along the shoreline excitedly, her bare feet kicking sand up without a care of who might be in the “splash-zone.” She turned ‘round towards her lusus, tongue sticking out and pulling her lower eyelid down in a teasing expression. The verminbeast sat off the beach, perched on a fence just on the perimeter. He wasn’t interested in cleaning the wet sand from his fur, but conceded he’d have to do at least a little bit of damage control in that regard once it came time to bring his charge home from her day off.

”C’mon, what’re you afraid of!? The water won’t hurt ya, ya big nerd!! Quit bugg’n and have some fun for once!!”

Ratdad stoically held up a single paw that Makkah couldn’t decide was a wave or a refusal of her request. Probably both.

”Suit yourself ya big weenie!”

As she tromped away she spotted one. A a shiny black shell with a ton of grooves in it. She took charging off after it, jumping as she neared to land next to it with her hands outstretched.

”DIIIIIIIIIIIBS!!!”
