Umbre made a quick chore of getting herself clean, her fur shining a lustrous black with all of the mud gone and the water slicking down her coat. She looked a great deal more beautiful clean than she did beforehand. Curiously, she watches Adrian as he bathed, wading effortlessly in the water several feet away from him. After several minutes of watching the Trainer she goes back to swimming, going out a little further from the shore only to swim closer again, only to repeat it; it became a pattern.<br/><br/>While enjoying herself in the water, swimming for the first time in a long time, she hadn't noticed Adrian getting out of the water to dry himself off. She kept her swimming pattern in the water, but eventually made it into a figure eight. It really had been a while since she had last had this much fun. It even allowed her to forget, for a while, that she was now owned by a Trainer. Until Adrian called out to her from where he rested.<br/><br/>Stopping where she was, Umbre wiped the water from her eyes and peered at him from the water, wading slowly to keep herself afloat. At hearing his words, her large ears droop low, water dripping from them. She wanted to continue swimming, because she was having fun. The look on her face showed that she was thinking about whether or not she was going to obey and get out of the lake. She hesitated, barely even caring about his promise of punishment should she not cooperate. The way she looked at it, swimming a little longer would be worth it.<strong>“Just a few more minutes,”</strong>she says and, instead of moving toward him to get out, she dove underneath the water to try and get a few more minutes to swim.
