Raem's tail thumped the ground as Avi awoke and greeted him. "Avi! Hey, we were just talking about you. Anywho, I was wondering if you were up for an early morning hunt. With me." He needn't have worried beforehand. Once Avi arrived, Raem acted casually, normally and smoothly. No embarressing blunder there.

Privately, Avi hoped the 'with me' part meant that they didnt have to take along Zylo, Miel or any other important dog. Not that Raem wasnt important, but in her eyes he was different than the other 'important dogs'. The other important dogs made her instinctively flatten her ears and lower her tail. She felt like she wasnt allowed to run and have fun when she was on patrol with them. After a furitive glance around, the pale female wagged her thick plumy tail once and followed Raem away from the group of still drowsy dogs. "Where are we going?" Her eyes became brighter as they got farther from camp and her trot became a prance.

The husky shrugged. "Wherever you want to go. You get to lead today." Raem'sbig, bushy, curled tail was wagging happily behind him.

Cool! Avi took off like a bullet, sprinting across the moors. "Let's go to the lake!" Apparently Avi had found a lake.

Lake? Raem hadn't been far enough to see a lake. But he could do with a good swim. Raem streaked after Avi, right on her tail. She was fast. "When did you find a lake?" he called up to her.

"A few days ago when I was chasing a rabbit," She yipped, still barreling ahead at full speed. Suddenly she put on the breaks, nearly causing Raem to crash into her from behind.
An albino she-cat was standing about twenty feet away from Avi. The cat had a nice-sized fox-kit under its paws and it looked as if the cat had been about to begin lunch. The cat's red eyes blinked once slowly, almost contemptously, as she glanced first at Avi, then at Raem. It let out a sharp meow. It's intellegent eyes lowered to its paws -dangerous looking things full of razor claws- then back up to the dogs.
Avi skirted the cat, maintaining the distance between her and the feline. "Vicous looking little thing, hmm?" She mewed once they were far from the cat. "Not like those house cats..." It hadnt occoured to her that they could have stolen the cat's food and eaten it themselves...

"We should've chased it. I loved to do that when I was younger." Raem commented after the cat was far behind them. "I've gotten the feeling we've moved into territory near alot of cats. have you noticed how their scents have been everywhere?"

Avi nodded. "They might make good food, if we ever run out or rabbits and deer." Something about eating cats was disturbing, though. They almost seemed like intellegent creatures. Creatures with feelings and cares shouldnt be eaten. Avi went into a trot, speeding up. "Well anways, the lake is this way."

Raem increased his pace as well, matching Avi. He was glad he was out here with her. He just hoped they didn't run into some other dog or pack member. He lifted his nose. He could smell water.

When they came into a clearing, the pair faced a broad forest-side lake. Faint prey scent -including cat- drifted towards them on the cool breeze from the lake. "Lake," Avi presented, turning her eyes on Raem. She padded out into the water until it was up to her belly. It was cool, but not chillingly so. It would be a good summer play-place for the pups...

Raem blinked a few times as the lake came into view. It was a pretty lake. He stood as Avi waded, smiled to himself, and ran at top speed towards the water. He lunched himself high in the air to land with large splash out in front of Avi. "Hah!" he laughed a water flew everywhere.

Avi shook her fur, which in turn only splashed more water at them both. She tackled Raem, sending them both under water for a moment. Then she surfaced , swimming into the deeper water. "Do you know how to swim, Raem?" Her twolegs had once owned a nest with a pool. As a puppy, they'd taught her to swim so she'd never fall in when they werent there and drown.

"Of course." Raem doggy-paddled after her, diving under every now and then. Once he dived under and didn't come up, reappearing right under Avi, giving her a shove and laughing.

Avi lightly nipped his ears when he came up under her. "What's your favorite food?" She asked randomly, intending to turn the splash-session into a twenty questions game. She swam away from him, then circled, ears back as she treaded water while keeping her face out in open air.

Raem shrugged. "Anything that doesn't eat me first. You?" The husky dove under for a minute, coming back up with a water logged stick and threw it around.

The delicate husky splashed across the lake like a maniac in her haste to catch Raem's thrown stick before it sunk. Her twolegs had loved to play this game! Fetch, was it? She caught up to the stick in the shallows and observed that it floated. Then she took it in her jaws and flung it back, not all too sucessfully. It missed Raem by about a mile. Lucky twolegs and their opposable thumbs... "I like... rabbit. And birds. Rabbits taste good and bird feathers make awesome nest lining." Avi wagged her tail, hoping that Raem would throw the stick back. It kinda made her feel at home, playing games like these... "Do you have lots of family?"

Raem smiled and tossed the stick back across the water in his strong jaws. His owners had played fetch with him once or twice before, but he was classified as a working dog, with little time to play like so. "I did." He replied. "I haven't seen my family in years. I don't know what happened to them. What about you?"

"I'm not sure if I have parents or siblings; Siiv and Zylo are kinda my family, though." Avi grasped the stick in her jaws and shook it around in the water for a moment before throwing it back again. "What about friends?"

Raem laughed as he tried to jump from the water to catch the stick, but couldn't get too high. The stick spun overhead and hit the water with a splash as he turned to tackle towards it. "Sure, lots of friends. I get along with the whole Pack."

"Me too, I think." Avi grinned a friendly dogish smile, pale pink tongue showing. "The pack is fun to be in." She then pranced in a circle, splashing out at anything within a fifteen foot radius from her, including Raem. "Days like this are best, though. I dont like working too hard." She glanced at him, wondering if he'd patronize her for not enjoying work.

"What's life without a little play, eh?" Raem replied, dashing through the water. Her jumped and splashed, having a good old time. "Avi, let me ask you something." he woofed, slowing his pace and floating along in the lake. "Have you..ever..been in love with somebody before?"

"Well," Avi thought about it and realized she's never known too many guys before. Just Siiv and Zylo, who were like her siblings. "No, actually. What about you?" She felt a blush spread under her fur as she glanced quickly at Raem, then away towards the stick he'd left lying. She waded out to go get it, keeping an ear cocked for his answer, which strangely mattered a lot to her...

"I've never been in love, before-" Raem hesitated, a small smile playing on his expression. "Before." He echoed himself once, sounding firm in his answer. He had made it rather vague on purpose.

Avi half turned without picking up the stick. Both feathered ears were angled towards Raem and she was giving him a curious look. "Raem, do you..." She paused, soulful pale green-yellow eyes on the water around her as she searched for words. "Huh." She gave a rather helpless blink. She didnt have the words to express her feelings.

"Yes?" Raem asked, head cocked and eyes glimmering knowingly. He was now standing in the water, and shook his pelt, sending sparkling droplets of lake water flying and watching Avi closely.
