The shattered coast carved a rocky path across the border, waves crashing against it with fervor and seeming distaste. Salty brine lingered in the air, a mist heavy over the oceanside, and the late afternoon sun turned what should have been blue water to an odd assortment of mottled green. Birds soared overhead, squawking as they dove and pulled the bodies of fish from the surface, but otherwise the air was silent.
A pair of oversized paws held firm to the rocks, the mottled brown pup leaning forward to stare down at the ocean. Ever since Vigilante had welcomed the orphaned pup into Cour des Miracles, he couldn't get enough of the vast ocean that lay alongside the coastline. It was a strange entity he had never seen before his time in the pack territory, something that fascinated him and make him anxious all the same. He would go down to the shattered coast and sit, watching the water for hours but rarely trying to get near it.
The amusement faded as the sun started to set below the horizon, a yawn pulling from the pup's muzzle as he clambered down from the rocks he used as a perch. The air had cooled down from the closeness of the water, causing a faint shiver to run down the spine of the young one. Yes, it was time to go 'home', where it was warmer and he didn't have to deal with the brine clinging to his fur. He shook himself as he started to wander back, half-tripping over his paws from the effort. He broke into a brisk, bouncy jog, crushing small plants and bugs beneath his paws in the process.
As he neared the homes of Cour des Miracles, his oversized paws tripped him, sending the young one sprawling in a red heap on the ground. 'Ouch...' he groaned, ears flattening against his skull. A sigh left his lips as he dragged himself back to his feet, tail limp, and swatted the ground in frustration.
