When they made it to the water's edge, Reed didn't stop at the shoreline. She wadded into the water up to her belly (downstream from Larkspur, of course) and dunked her whole head under. There she blew bubbles for half a second, then lifted her head and shook. Reed couldn't swim, but she could enjoy being dunked beneath the water. After all, the water was what she lived her life by. She was a born sailor, only daughter to a renowned pirate - her father. It was in her blood to exist near the water. With her dreads settled and her head resurfaced, she drank aggressively, chomping at it more than lapping. Nothing about Reed was ladylike.
Reed turned back towards Larkspur as the other wolf continued their drink. When she was about elbow-high in the water, she dipped down into a lay. The water washed over her figure and she sighed with relief. Her pelt was thick and the not-rainbow purgatory was hot. She was used to having wind in her fur from the sea breezes or sailing. She wasn't used to the hot dry arid air. When Larkspar finished drinking and apologized, Reed simply smiled in return. "Be careful drinkin' so much all at once. If there's anything I know, it's about drinkin' water. Fresh water. Salt water. Brackish water. Lake water. River water. Puddle water - though maybe I'm not so knowledgeable as I thought on that one. Just when you think you know 'em, ya don't!" Darn puddles were being a menace in these lands, between the ones she helped Quinnat slay and then the one that poofed her.
As Reed carried on yapping, Larkspur had stretched out before her. She watched the brown wolf casually as she talked. When she realized that Larkspur was doing magic, Reed stood back up fully and leaned towards them to see what they were doing. Then she suddenly realized that there were plants growing. "Whoa!" Reed stepped out of the water now entirely, shook the water away, then stared at the bushes that had just sprouted before her very eyes, and were now offering enticing berries. "You did that?" She had so many more questions for Larkspur but held them in, instead deciding to ask another of them, "Wait, you were a lone wolf? Why?" She could understand not wanting to be part of a large group, but to travel completely alone? She couldn't imagine it. This past month alone had been miserable and she was confident that the only reason why she hadn't already gone insane was that she knew she would find her friends eventually.
