Sounds perfect, Nzingha. He guffawed, clearly amused by the nickname she came up with for him. She smiled affectionately up at her 'unther', giggling herself. Inside she was disgusted with herself. While the name itself was clever, it was childish and silly. It was a term a child would come up with... well she was a child. But she was an old soul and was wise beyond her years. She would manipulate this brute as needed in order to gain her trust. Now, Nzingha was not naive - she was sure that as time moved on, she would gain true feelings for Summer, as he would be her family and her entire world until a brute stole her heart... but that did not mean that she would not use him.

After she accepted the tour that Summer offered of her new home - the packlands that would soon become her base for all of her plotting - he rose from the earth and Nzingha followed suit, pressing against him as he strode. Exactly, let's get going shall we? So, do you like to go swimming? Slowly, she shook her head. Though Shae had shown them streams and lakes, she had never brought them swimming. Shae was not the kind to play fun and games, even with pups. "No... I don't know how to swim. I've... never actually been in the water." Her vocals were soft and she glanced away, embarrassed to having to admit one of her weaknesses. In truth, the idea of water scared her slightly. She enjoyed partaking in drinking from it, but had no desire to go in too deep lest she drown.

Briefly, she was distracted and silent until the brute spoke again. This is one of the land marks in Bright Moon. The stream is always running here, so it is the best place to get fresh water. It’s even deep enough that it doesn’t freeze in the winter. Nzingha nodded, taking the opportunity to step forward, her maw lowering enough for her tongue to lap up a drink from the stream. it was cool and clean, and smoothly trickled down the back of her throat until she no longer felt parched... and then she quickly moved away from it. "Good to know... what else is there here?"
