Exploring With Friends

[Anyu]

Cari let the water lap around her bare ankles, watching the flitts dive playfully into the waves. "Look at them! They enjoy life so much." She stated, sighing happily.

And why shouldn't they? Traire sat on a grassy part of the beach, her wings ruffling slightly in the soft breeze.

"I don't know. I enjoy life too, I just...." The trainer blinked, then shrugged, a smile crossing her lips."Who knows? I love life."

[Krisley]

ooc// No feathers, they have leathery wings like dragons. Tara will come in a bit after this. I really want to roleplay her some more.

bic// A little creature ran up from behind Traire, chittering as it went. with hardly a glance at either the flitts, the Noka, or Cari, it dove cleanly into the water.

[Anyu]

Cari jumped, staring at where the creature had vanished. "What was that?" She asked.

A small, furry thing. Traire moved closer to the water, curious.

[Krisley]

It raised suddenly to the surface, jumping onto Traire's delicate nose, and chittering excitedly the whole while.

"Zarifa!" Called a voice, and a distressed lady ran up, glaring at the otter. She was wearing a bright red shirt, with dyed matching pants.

[Anyu]

Traire jerked back in surprise, shaking her head frantically.

"Traire, stop it!" Cari stopped, seeing the lady. "Is this... creature... yours?" She asked, sounding a bit irritated.

[Krisley]

Zarifa held on, chittering happily, her little claws digging into the Noka's soft nose, though she didn't realize it.

"Yes, I'm afraid so. Zarifa!" She called sternly, but she ignored her. With a sigh, she put her fingers to her mouth, and whistled loudly. Zarifa stopped chittering, and dropped into the water, waddling ashore with her head down. Tara scooped her up. "I'm sorry."

[Anyu]

Traire pawed her muzzle, trying to get off the feeling of the strange creature.

"What is that, anyways?" Cari demanded.

[Krisley]

"An otter. I found a few of them playing around in lakes in Rintha forest. Smart little critters, if playful and annoying. I'm Nastaran by the way, but call me Tara." She rushed through this as she tried to pull Zarifa's little claws free of her shirt.

[Anyu]

"I'm Carissa, or Cari. That is Traire. The three out there are Gold Miran, Green Gina, and Blue Rican." She replied.

[Krisley]

"Nice to meet you all." She bobbed her head, holding the otter out at arms leanth for a moment, staring into Zarifa's eyes. "Behave now." She said, and set her back on the ground, where she promptly hurried back into the salty water. What a strange creature....to be able to like salt water like that.

[Anyu]

The flitts all flew closer to where the strange critte was, curious about it.

"It is nice to meet you, too." Cari replied.

Traire dipped her head in greeting.

[Krisley]

Zarifa spat water into the air, swimming along with her belly in the air. What queer creatures the flitts were, that's what the otter was thinking, but in less words. She hadn't seen many Flitts, no otter did, and even then it was at a distance, since otters sometimes mistook their eggs for fish or bird eggs.

[Anyu]

The flitts squawked, flying up to avoid the water. Miran chittered at Zarifa irritably. Gina went back down, crooning a greeting. Rican just sort of... hovered.

[Krisley]

Zarifa spat again, turning over in a quick summersault and vanishing beneath the water's surface.

"Well, looks likes she's enjoying herself, and behaving." Tara commented, referring to the otter.

[Anyu]

"So are mine... Except Miran, but she doesn't like behaving." Cari sighed.

Miran squawked irritably, hearing her master's comment.
