Berit tossed the handle and string of her kite to the ground. It was weight enough to keep the kite from floating off to who knew where. Although to be fair she could always just make another one later if it did disappear. For the moment she was content to let the other girl drag her towards the steam. Maybe they'd find shiny rocks at the bottom or have a fish catching competition. Berit was pretty good at grabbing the slippery , shiny, scaled things straight from the water.

Alex didn't stop until she had run straight into the middle the stream. She was laughing pretty hard once she came to a complete stop. She stretched the length of herself. She wasn't like an average cat, not at all, she liked water! Once the stretching was done she looked down. The water was still a bit murky. Blindly she reached down and picked up the first rock her fingers touched. Because it was wet it glistened. "Not the prettiest or a keeper but still," she grinned.

Berit had followed but paused on the bank of the stream. Her eyes narrowing as she focused on trying to seeing anything below the surface of the water. Whether the stream was always dirty looking or Alex has disturbed too much dirt and mud by running in the draconic girl wasn't quite sure. Either way just standing around wasn't going to accomplish anything. Berit kicked off her specially made boots and then jumped into the stream unconcerned about rocks or anything getting jammed into the soles of her feet. They were pretty strong to begin with, not so much that she didn't still need to wear protection for them occasional but right now even a small cut would be fine. Playfully Berit slapped the water with her tail, sending a small wave surging towards the other girl. "Find me gold, or you're fired." Was there even really gold here, probably not but for a moment Berit enjoyed the idea of being like those people on t.v stomping about demanding results from their workers or else. She would be an excellent boss, rewarding those who did well and firing everyone who didn't pull their weight.

Alex let out a hearty laugh. "I don't know about finding gold but I know I can find you something shiny." With minimal movement she looked around where she stood. There really was nothing of interest in this particular spot. She carefully moved to another spot. "Sometimes it takes a while before you find something worth keeping," she said after another five minutes of looking.

" Do you know why you can find certain stuff in streams and not other stuff?" As she asked the question Berit used her feet to sift through the pebbles resting near them. "I tried to read up on it but it was boring." Lots of stuff about time and layers and components and junk that Berit could not bother herself to finish studying.

"No I don't know why. I just know when and where to look. Well most of the time at least." Alex grinned. "Who really cares about the way. Has time for it even? It's in a book somewhere I'm sure. And if it is then that means my sister would know. But I am always to busy to be bothered with that aspect of it."

"Is that your special skill then, finding stuff?" Most manifests that Berit had encountered had some sort of skill or trait that made them really stand out. Alex already had some unusual physical traits but having a hidden magic skill as well wasn't out of the question. The draconic girl knew exactly what the other meant about being far too busy to bother with mundane stuff. While she often studied or tried a bit of everything , if Berit got bored she was quick to dismiss whatever she was working on and move on to the next thing that might be of interest.

"I wouldn't say my special skill is a knack for finding things. It is more like and perseverance. Observation even. I mean you wouldn't go looking under a palm sized rock for a bowl twice its size. I hope that makes sense." She stood up in a non slouch position and stretched. She put her hands on her hips and looked at the various rocks. "If you go to a park where people frequent you are liable to find chunk change. I suppose in a way there is a bit of skill to it. Logic if anything."
"My talents are climbing trees, seeing in the dark, and hunting small rodents." She winked.

" Do you eat the rodents or just make them pets?" Berit was curious and while she wouldn't exactly judge the girl if she did eat them Berit would keep a closer eye on Alex. Who knew what sicknesses the girl could get. Wiggling her toes some more she continued to sift through the silt and pebbles, trying to spot anything of value. She wasn't really the hoarding type of dragon but she did like having the occasional trinket or bauble.

"It is more about the thrill of the hunt. However, I do know how to cook them properly. Can you hunt rodents?" She caste a sidewards glance at the dragon girl. There was a smirk on her lips.

" I've never hunted befrore" Berit admitted, " but I'm sure I could pick it up quickly, I'm good at that."

"I'd teach you if I could but mine is more scent and natural ability." Alex went straight faced for a moment. Her ears swiveled as she listed. Other than the stream and the occasional fish she heard nothing of interest.
She lifted a leg out of the water and shook the water off of it. It wasn't going to do her any good as she had to put it down. "I've had enough water today." She said as she left the stream and wondered towards the nearest tree. She was intent on perching their until her fur dried.

Berit nodded, she her certain instincts given to her by her night fury nature but she had never really explored them. Even if they were similar to her fellow predator they likely had to be learned via trial and error not mimicry. The teen shifted the rocks between her feet one more time before determining that the current spot in the stream she and Alex had been occupying held nothing of use. Following the other girl up onto the stream bank she shrugged " We can always try again another time, we can even make maps of the best and worst spots." There was a term for that kind of thing but Berit had forgotten it or never learned it properly enough to remember it correctly.

"Making maps sounds fun." She herself was not artistic. She could already picture what the maps would look like, squiggles and doodles. Despite that she knew it would be something fun they could do and later useful.
"I think though for now it is time for a cat nap." She stretched the length of herself before perching. "Nothing better than an afternoon nap outside under the heat of the late day sun." She yawns.

Berit laughed and moved so that she was resting with her back to the trunk of the tree. It wasn't like Alex really needed guarding or anything but Berit just felt better about staying near the other girl while she slept. Besides she too could semi-bask in the sun and use the time to contemplate what further things the pair might be able to accomplish together.
