The kelpie breathes deeply, and the humid air hisses past serrated teeth before he releases it in a long sigh. He had wanted to head to the mainland where finding prey is simple and uncomplicated. They are blissfully unaware there, all too willing to celebrate the coming of summer with a quick swim alongside a handsome stranger. The hunger growls low in his belly, but Ivar pushes it down as he tilts his head away from the growing thunderclouds and looks back at Kyveli.
She is grinning and darting for the water, and the kelpie's glittering golden eyes follow her. She traverses the choppy water with a giggle, and the piebald stallion shakes his head before wading farther into the water. When it is up to his chest he gathers his hindquarters under him and leaps forward. He shifts in an instant, white-socked hind limbs shrinking to clawed appendages, and his spine and haired tail growing into a single powerful hind fin.
He slaps the surface with it as he dives beneath the blue water, and there is a faint grin on his handsome features. He spins beneath the water and swims ahead, surfacing a few yards ahead of the ombre filly.
"How far out have you been?" Ivar asks her above the splash of waves and between the peals of thunder. He knows that Kylin doesn't leave the islands - he wouldn't let her - but he is not certain if the nearly grown Kyveli has ventured out on her own. "Have you been to the mainland?"
