Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aconan flopped on the dirt, panting. Loupsus made his coughing imitation of laughter and padded his way over to his charge, licking and nuzzling at her sweaty hair. Grumbling into the dirt, Aconan rolled onto her back and batted at her lusus half-heartedly. They spent a few moments gently tussling like this - Loupsus of course only using a fraction of his strength to provide appropriate resistance to his young charge.

"Still, that's half a lap more than last time."

Aconan finally managed to get out between imitating the growls and whuffs of her lusus. Loupsus nodded, and licked his pup's face. Yes, she was definitely improving at her endurance now. She'd always been able to run fast, but now they were working on her staying power, the ability to keep running rather than short dashes. His good pup! Good pup! Pleased, her lusus gave a short sharp bark, before licking her again.

Aconan, helpless, lapsed into giggles at her lusus's glee.

Aconan and Loupsus perked as one, turning to Inakov at the voice. Aconan swept into a bow as they realised Inakov's higher blood colour. That was polite, right? Aconan was working on politeness. Loupsus chuffed and lolled his tongue in his own version of a hello.

"I'm Aconan!"

Then the other person offered her gum. Aconan didn't really like gum though - it was like food....you couldn't.....eat? It was weird. Still, it was a nice gesture, and it was obvious that Inakov meant well, so Aconan bounced forward and stuck out her hand.

"No thankyou! But nice to meetcha."
