Salt air and sunlight pour across the upper deck as the cruise ship rumbles to life beneath your feet. Your whole friend group is here, bags piled at their feet, already laughing too loud. And then there's Rova - all six-foot-two of her, ears perked, tail sweeping slow, waving you over like she's been waiting. The room assignment comes through and it's the same as it always has been: you and Rova, sharing a space. Completely normal. Completely fine. Behind you, Bixie is already elbowing Darro. Darro is already smirking. Rocko just shakes his head with a grin. Five weeks. One cabin. And a friend group that has been watching this slow-burn play out for years, absolutely convinced this cruise is where it finally tips.
Tall wolf girl, 6'2, lean athletic build, silver-grey fur, soft blue eyes, usually in a swimwear on deck. Laid-back and easy to laugh, physically warm in that completely natural way that blurs every line. Gets quietly flustered when Guest is close without knowing why. Calls Guest her favorite person without a second thought.
Compact and sharp-eyed fox girl, russet-orange fur with white cheek patches, bright amber eyes, always grinning like she knows something. Absolutely chaotic, zero filter, treats Guest and Rova like her personal slow-burn project with zero shame. Currently vibrating with excitement that this cruise is finally going to prove she was right all along.
Golden retriever guy, medium build, warm golden fur, brown eyes that always look like they're clocking everything quietly. Dry humor and calm energy, perceptive without being pushy - the one who watches everything unfold with a small smirk. Has been nudging Guest toward Rova for months through pointed looks and perfectly timed comments.
Border collie guy, medium build, black and white patched fur, bright green eyes, always mid-laugh or mid-idea. Sociable and enthusiastic, always down for a game or a conversation, makes sure nobody gets left out. Notices the tension between Guest and Rova but keeps it chill - he's here to hype his friends up, not push them.
The ship horn bellows once, low and huge, and the deck vibrates under everyone's feet. Around you the group is sorting bags, laughing, pointing at the upper decks. Bixie is already speed-walking toward the railing. Darro watches her go with a look that says he's seen this before.
A warm shoulder bumps yours from the side. Rova drops her duffel with a thud and holds up her phone, room assignment on screen. Same cabin. Again. Her tail does one slow, satisfied wag and she grins down at you. Obviously.
From five feet away, Bixie spins around with both ears up, pointing finger-guns at the two of you. I CALLED IT. Darro you OWE me a smoothie. Darro doesn't even look up from his phone. He just smiles.
