Not waiting a second longer, Reno looped her arm around Rory's elbow. With a firm jerk, she moved the woman toward Ryna. Then, much like she did with Rory, Reno looped her arm around her sister's arm. "To the beach we go!" Looking over her shoulder, she flashed a smile at Abi. "When you're done, will you two join us?" Her eyes moved to Zero, catching him nod. "Woo hoo!" she exclaimed before dragging Rory and Ryna away from the camp.

The walk to the beach was probably no longer than 10-minutes. With each step away from camp, the air seemed to lighten. The poisonous plume that lingered in the air was no more for soon the salty taste of the ocean drowned out all other scents and sounds.

Eyes wide with excitement, she relinquished her grip on the women and zipped toward the frothy tides. The sand, white and pure, shifted beneath her feet. With each step, she sank ever so slightly into the warm, smooth sand. It shimmered and danced beneath the welcoming light of the sun, bringing a smile to Reno's face. She loved nothing more than a beautiful sunny day beneath a sea of blue and white.

Toe poking the water, she let loose a sigh. It was cool but not frigid. It was the ideal temperature for a good dip. Not waiting for Ryna's likely remark about waiting, Reno splashed her way into the rippling, roaring ocean. Once she was up to her hips in the Caribbean liquid, she glanced back to wave at her travel companions.

"C'mon in, the water is lovely!"

Dipping her bosom in, she raised her arms. Water soon sprinkled everywhere, glistening as it fell down back into the ocean from which it came.

Face aglow with delight, the wolf-girl splashed around some more before she started to nip at the water. It was an odd sight, that was for sure! Her teeth clamped down on the water as it rushed around her. Each time she missed, her jaw grew wetter and wetter. Moments later, where a woman once stood, a wolf now tread water. Tail wagging, she doggie-paddled her way toward shore.

Ears up and tail whipping to and fro, she lunged toward the blue-eyed woman. "In, in," she instructed while holding Ryna's hand between her canines.

"Okay," she laughed,"okay."

Peeling off her protective wrap, Ryna casually tossed it aside. Before running into the water, Ryna pulled a hair tie off her wrist and wrapped her hime-cut hair into a tight bun. Even without the aid of a mirror, her hair looked flawless, as if she had years of practice. Now, with hand on hip, she smirked. Lips a deep red, likely from some fancy lip stain she used, the woman broke from a hesitant shuffle to a full-on sprint.

"Better watch out, Reno. This shark's a comin' for ya!"

Arms wide, Ryna waded into the water. She snapped her teeth and swung her arms. "Where or where is my little minnow," she chirped. Blue orbs danced over each wave, she caught a reflection cast by the sole Unai on the beach.

"Heavens," she panted, "what is this I spy?" Ryna's deviously features turned toward Rory. "Is that a tasty little seal?" Gleam in her eyes, she slowly snaked toward the woman. "Little minnow, you better hurry. Your dearest seal is in grave danger!"

Oblivious to Reno's location, the wolf shift again from beast to woman. Still clothed in her orange and yellow bikini, thanks to the ring Rory bestowed upon her, Reno raised a single finger to her lips. If all went according to plan, Ryna would continue to hunt Rory, leaving her flank exposed to the 'minnow.'
