"Speech!"

The distant sound of water crashing against the rocks could be heard for miles around. Gallons of water must escape across the rock face everyday, swirling into the frothy abyss below. From the mountains to lake, there were many different waterfalls, from mere trickles into streams, to great, thundering water hurling themselves over the road at a brutal force. Despite it being spring, the Tumbling Falls was still cool and shaded. The water was still bitterly cold and would be an almighty shock if you were to fall in. However, the fall could prove fatal due to the fast current that could sweep you into a rock and crack your head open.

So, as Eleanor padded around the Falls, she kept well away from the edge of the rushing water, and instead situated herself on top of a nice, comfortable rock. She lay down and gazed out at the frothy, white water that rushed passed her at break-neck speed. It was amazing to follow the streams from the mountains, that turned into winding rivers and fast currents. The breeze from the water rustled through her thick fur, and she closed her eyes, content. She couldn't remember what she'd done today, but her full stomach indicated that she must've found a meal from somewhere.

Eleanor hadn't really ventured to the outskirts of the city before, or perhaps she just couldn't remember her last visit. Ellie had heard of waterfalls, but this was better than she had imagined; it wasn't just some rock with falling water, but a place of life and growth, plants entwining itself with nature and the trickling, crashing sounds of water against water. Ellie found it all so beautiful. She shivered. Trees surrounding the area cast the rock Ellie was laying on in a large shadow. Her thick fur prevented her from getting too cold. She supposed there was no point in moving, so she decided to let her last, forgotten meal to digest.

Garrett was a lonely wolf. He didn't like to talk, didn't like to interact with others and, to be honest, didn't really like other canines at all. There were some who were decent enough to be able to hang around for a little while, then there were those few that were the only special ones that he might actually start a real conversation with. The ones that got to his heart despite all his hardened walls. The reason there were only a few that could do that was because it took so long to break through the walls that surrounded him and to actually get him to trust again. Most gave up because, really, he wasn't making it any easier for them. If he didn't try, it'd get no where and he didn't try to make friendships most of the time. Still, there were those who didn't give up... Like her. Garrett shook his head, pushing past a fern as he tried to not think about her now. He was in at least a non-sad mood and didn't want to ruin his day.

Coming out of the foliage to stand by the falls, the white wolf quickly made his way to the waters edge to try and drink. The water was rushing past fast and unrelenting, though if he was careful enough he might be able to grab a quick drink without tumbling in. So he bent down, lapping quickly at the water before standing and stretching, feeling quite refreshed from the drink. Opening his eyes, he was surprised to see another was in the area with him, quite close actually as she was sat on a rock not too far away. He went to turn and run, rather wanting to avoid talking to her, but looking at her closely he could see she didn't look like a threat. Plus, she might have something valuable on her that she wouldn't mind him 'borrowing'. It'd been a while since he'd found something to add to his treasure stash and this innocent girl might be the best one for his next target. So, he padded forward a little, trying to look as non-threatening as possible.

"Um... Hi?"
