SEA OF DREAMS [stretching]

[Matias]

Yoga didn't seem like the kind of thing that Sorbet would be interested in, but it was something that was necessary for his real passion. Perhaps the others could see it in the elegant way he moved, or the way that he appeared surprisingly muscular if caught at the right angle, but he wasn't all illiteracy and unintentional rudeness. His real talent showed itself on his natural element, where he could glide endlessly along fields of ice with a grace that few could master. He wasn't sure if there were any lakes fit enough for skating in the rain forest, but winter was approaching fast and he had to get in shape for the possibility. It would be a shame if he found a perfect rink, but then sprained something while attempting an ambitious twirl. He seemed unaware of the fact that rain forests were often too temperate to experience the kinds of winters that he was used to, but that was a disappointment for another day.

Sorbet had set up somewhere off to the side, a place that he thought wouldn't be disturbed by any passing Rosebloods. He didn't want anyone pointing and gawking at him as he did his exercise. The wolf settled on his mat and began to stretch, starting with the standard canine ones before really contorting his body. It was harder work than it looked like, really, especially without an instructor. It was no surprise that he eventually found himself stuck in a halasana, his tail falling unhelpfully onto his face. "Guh," he exclaimed halfheartedly, wriggling around a bit and trying to get his hindpaws back on the other side of his head.
