"Hey, buddy!" Gabriel waited for Storm to hurl himself out of the water.
Yifei took a step back, gaping at the humongous beast. She had never seen a dog that huge before. "W-what—what the heck is that?!"
"No need to be so rude—ah! Storm, stop! You're drenching me!" Storm shook the excess water off him, soaking his mistress' brother in the process.
Yifei burst into a fit of giggles. "That's a good look on you, Gabby!"
"Shut up..." Gabriel grumbled bashfully and glared at the clueless wolf. "Thanks for cooling me, Storm."
Storm does not understand sarcasm as he licked Gabriel's face as an apology.
"I got tired of waiting, so I thought that you wouldn't mind me coming here instead." Gabriel and Yifei made themselves comfortable on the chaise lounge beside Lillie, snacking on some chilled watermelon slices. "Who knew this girl had the same idea as I..."
"I resent that." Yifei stick her tongue out. "Just admit that you're following me."
