To say she was playful by nature was an understatement; she was bouncy, energetic and full of youth. The very same youth that would not leave her for the remainder of her life - some would call her naive, but to her, she was simply herself. Had the other female's reaction been anything but what little Yakone had expected and hoped for, she would have been gone in a flash of copper and red however - but for now, they had their miniature stand off. Both bowed and a playful grin spread over her dainty features, their gaze meeting for a moment before she began her games. She played not to be better, not to be stronger nor faster but for the sheer joy of them - she could only hope now that the other dirt matted female was the same. Honestly, Yakone did not fair well in competitions - whatever fighting spirit she had was often extinguished within moments.
She watched the other, her head slowly tilting from side to side before the other dove. In an excitable fray, she dove backwards as Banner batted at the rock, an excited yip bursting from her lips as she too pawed towards the stone. It was to encourage the other and as the alabaster girl threw herself forwards towards the creek, so did Yakone; without hesitation, she dove into the water, eyes locked onto the stone even as it rolled through the shallows. She marched through the water, thick waves spraying up around her as she pawed and yipped for the stone's return - only it was unobtainable through methods of the paw.
With a sheepish grin flashed towards her newly found companion, she took a moment to steady herself before her muzzle and part-way of her face disappeared beneath the waters. It took her a moment, her body rigged and limbs working awkwardly as she chased the rock for a few seconds - finally, she grasped it within her teeth and rose to face her playmate. Of course, she looked worst for wear with little bubbles of water popping from her nose momentarily and half of her face saturated but nonetheless, she wiggled in excitement as she paraded her rock about. She waited a moment before she tossed the stone once more, watching it for a moment as it flopped into the shallows once more - the moment she heard the soft click clack of it bouncing off the other stones did she turn to watch Banner with an expectant grin.
"Rock is like fish," she yipped, motioning to the stone as it slowly bounced along the shallows, "We can catch rock, then we catch fish."
