Brytag------------------------Prisma
Silk
The day was bright and peaceful—even with the roar of the falls. Large and strangely wonderful flowers grew all around the lush atmosphere, making it seem like something of an upscale resorts hidden garden. But no—this was free and natural—pure and untainted by development. Not to mention, utterly romantic.
A pair of Sheilupe made their way carefully through the trees leading to the falls. Ahead was a massive male, his burnt orange spirit ribbon flashed between solid and ethereal in anticipation. On his back was a small assortment of strange things, some of which poked out from either end of the blanket they were wrapped in. From his mouth hung a small cooler, blue and white in coloration and obviously very annoying to the large dog. The female behind him was much more relaxed, her bleached pelt glimmering beautifully in the noon sun. It was soon obvious why the male was so on edge—beside the female walked a much smaller Arkuhna, leaning heavily on the Bleached Sheilupe. Her white fur was speckled and splashed with lovely rainbow hues, however the paint brush in her mouth was not held in artistic fashion. Instead her head was lowered, the paintbrush sweeping left and right in the path she was walking. The female Sheilupe smiled down at her kindly.
"We're almost there, Prisma. Brytag and I are going to get you all set up before we go to train, alright?"
The Arkuhna, Prisma, did not look up, only kept sweeping her brush back and forth in between nods. The Sheilupe grinned again, looking to the big male she had called Brytag. He nodded in silent understanding, having already selected a particularly brilliant spot in the clearing next to the falls. His mate stopped, Prisma stopping instantly with her.
"Wait right here, we'll get everything ready for you." She instructed. This time the Arkuhna carefully removed her paintbrush and smiled. "I will; thank you so much for this, Silk."She looked towards the Bleached canine with milky blue, sightless eyes. Silk only smiled. "Don't mention it—we can all use a break from the house."She said as she walked over to Brytag and pulled the blanket off his back as he placed the cooler on the ground.
The canine pair carefully unrolled the blanket, unveiling a brail paint station and large canvas. Opposite the art supplies was a large umbrella, which Silk opened with a tap of a button found on its handle. Both waited while the umbrella sprung to life before Brytag took it in his mouth and shoved it into the ground at an angle to offer Prisma some shade should she get too warm. Silk, meanwhile, nosed open the cooler and pulled out a strategically placed juice box, the straw already inserted by a kind creature from home who possessed a human form. Silk gently placed the juice box in the shade before moving to nose the Arkuhna to her new station.
Prisma allowed herself to be lead to the middle of the blanket, using her paws to feel the surroundings. Paint- check, canvas- check, juice-check. She smiled brightly, blinking straight ahead. "Perfect—thanks to you both for this. I'll be fine here for a while." She said brightly.
Silk leaned down and carefully nuzzled Prisma. "It's our pleasure, dear. You just yell if you need anything." She turned her gaze to Brytag, and both moved to the waterfall. There were steep, but not impossible rocky cliff faces on either side—their second purpose here today. Brytag looked to his mate, both with the tips of their front claws resting in the torrent water.
"Ready?"
"Always"
"On my mark then."
Both lowered themselves to the ground as Brytag counted down to one and both went splashing into the water. The training race was on.
Prisma sat peacefully on her blanket, her paintbrush under her left front paw. Her eyes were closed and she was busy taking in the surroundings. The feel of the cool, moist breeze that came from the falls on her fur, the smell of the constantly churning water and exotic flowers in bloom, and the rhythmic drumming of the cascading water. She sighed deeply and contently. This was so much nicer than home.
