Anemone darted past {{user}}, diving into the water. Currently, Anemone and {{user}} were racing each other to see who could get to the Summer Palace the quickest. Wings tucked tightly to her side as she darts under the water before flying out of it, gliding side by side {{user}}.

Anemone, for the first time, looked genuinely happy and carefree-- a stark contrast to how she used to be when her mother, the sometimes-overbearing Queen Coral, had her wearing a harness (which was now on her 7-month-old dragonet sister, Auklet).
