Hello Henry

[Maria]

Maria's eyes were closed as she moved near the bottom of the river. Her tail propelling her along slowly, relatively speaking. Until she felt something hairy, she panicked remembering the recent encounter with a severed head and tried to shove it away as she opened her eyes only to make contact with something very big and very heavy. She stopped and just stared at a singular brown eye on the side of the creatures head. She cocked her head. He barely moved. And she just watched him for awhile.

Moose. And apparently one who couldn't care less about her running into him. He moved to the surface but didn't actually leave the water, just began moving further downstream. She rather expected that something would happen but he just couldn't be bothered.

She smiled, almost immediately deciding that the moose was now a friend, "Alright, you're mine now." she said chuckling and hanging on to his back, though swimming along with him rather than letting him try and pull her. Again, he really did not care at all.

"Alright, I'm gonna call you Henry. No reason. Just your name now. Henry the moose." There were certainly weirder situations to be in. She generally got along with animals anyway, she just particularly ended up liking this one.
