But I would lovingly let you down.
He was still thinking about mermaids, what a concept, and living under a muted sea when Reef prompted him with another curious question. His mane was still dancing, two-toned strands drifting this way and that over his blue-eyed view, when he turned to look at her. He smiled before his gaze shifted back to the sea, and he thought in silence for a while.
His brown ears flick forward and back as he thinks more. He liked birds. He always thought it must be interesting to fly. But before voicing this as his choice, his gut churned tight and he wondered if that answer was too cliche. He scoffed a breathy laugh and looked to her again.
"What would you be?" He asked then, deflecting.
Jabari felt a sense of worry overcome him, as if this curious but utterly pleasant moment in time was about to come to a crashing close too soon. His heart thumped in his chest at the thought. He didn't want to Reef to leave. But why was she here in the first place? Where did she live? He had nothing, no sense of place from her scent, nor her words. All he had was the version of her here, in this very moment, standing on this very rock with him now. He dared to take a sidestep closer to her.
