From the two, Blackmoore had always been the latter, coherent, solid... dependable. Later the man would reflect that by adding the water to the mix, it would made the land more plastic. And that the same would be true about him in a way, if someone was to brand love and desire as such liquid. Either way, the dark canine blinked questioningly upon seeing the youngster still standing in the mud almost up to his ankles...

Or perhaps because something else. He couldn't say, he just did so. With that the male would resume his walk, after giving a short glance towards the smaller male who'd decide to struck on his own. He didn't cared particularly would the coyotes follow him or not, even if all three would go after him - they'd wouldn't' be able to stop him anyway.
