[glow=black,2,300]Beautiful did not even begin to describe the wondrous day they were having on the shoreline. Clear skies, enough wind for a game of fly-and-tag, and enough sunshine that they could sunbathe while they played. The sight of a small osprey gliding above wasn't particularly the least out of place, though perhaps a bit unusual since they were usually sea-dwelling birds. However, the beast flying along behind him may have been a startling exhibit for some creatures, particularly a certain race known as "Man."
She had markings almost identical to those of her companion; their wings were identical, in fact, save for the different placed spots and sizes of course. But, there was no way in the six Hells, nor in Heaven, nor space, nor anywhere else for that matter that she could ever be mistaken for little Kokoyone. Despite wearing a coat of feathers, despite having hollow bones even, this was no bird. This was a wolfdog, and a very odd one at that. She'd never quite settled on being either wolf or bird, and it was rather obvious in the way her head swiveled, her ice blue eyes focusing on random objects below or on the object of her chase; Koko.
"Mama!" trilled the well-matured osprey in a surprisingly baby-ish voice. "I'm tired!"
"Then land, you silly itty bitty," she laughed at him as he chirped shrilly, spiraling towards earth.
"But you said you'd eat me!" he whined as she landed beside him. Like his 'mother' he looked like he wasn't quite sure whether he was a bird or not. In fact, he bated on the ground like a nervous pup instead of the majestic bird of prey Daema portrayed as she settled down before him, feathers ruffling as she scanned the area cautiously.
"You need to remember to check before you land!" she scolded her 'chick.'
"Oh yeah, sorry Mama," he cheeped guiltily, looking about him quickly.
