"Yes, yes, I'm coming as fast as I can, Sophkiel," quipped Arianna, her sandalled feet slapping onto the wooden dock surface as she approached its end. The little golden pseudodragon was already there, looking out into the clear blue ocean water. The wolfess got a mental image of some kind of fish from her companion, making it clear to her what she'd found.

"Fine, go ahead," Ari said, as she reached her destination and sat down. A moment later, the little dragon opened her wings, jumped into the air, and then dove down into the water with a splash.

Ari undressed, first removing her sandals, then her leggings, and finally her cloak. As she watched Sophkiel swim around, surfacing from time to time to breathe, she tucked her removed clothing away into her Bag of Holding, then pushed it off to one side of her. After, she put her feet into the warm water and started kicking them around, enjoying the perfect sunny day and cool breeze off the ocean.

Under the surface, she could see Sophkiel chase after a group of fish that she'd found, jaws snapping right on their tails. She wasn't sure if her ally would actually try to eat the fish herself, but odds are good she'd want Ari to catch some for cooking later. Until that point though, she watched, laughing at the dragon's antics.

 howlite once again drew this truly beautiful picture of the D&D based Arianna and her companion Sophkiel having a fantastic day somewhere on the ocean. The design and coloring are amazing, and there's so many little details all over that it's definitely a background for my PC right now! Thanks again to Howlite for all her hard work!
