She still had yet to find herself a permanent home, a thought which didn't bother her so much. She had no children and no family to live with her—so sleeping in the wilderness and open was just fine with her for now. Even in Optime form it wasn't uncomfortable, and though it meant she was more likely to be disturbed by coyotes who kept daytime hours, she was willing to take that risk for now. She generally stayed near to the coast, and it was here she was rising just as Anselm was laying near the sea. She stretched and yawned, various parts of her body popping and cracking as she relieved herself of the night's stiffness. Rising from sleep was always the largest reminder that she was indeed growing older, and as she contemplated this wearily, shaking the sleep from her eye, she caught the scent of another. He was rather fresh, but she could also faintly smell Gabriel clinging to his fur, so there was familiarity here, as well. The coyote pulled herself to her feet, again stretching, and wandered onto the beach, the sand squeezing between her toes. It was afternoon as she expected, and though there were several hours of daylight left, the Inferni coyote was glad she'd missed the hottest parts of the day. Summer was undeniably here, permeating the air with humidity and heat. She spied the hybrid in the waves several yards away, and made her way over steadily, curious to find out if this was just a visitor or a new member of Inferni. She had not yet seen his eyes, or else she might have pegged him for one of Gabriel's paternal relatives almost instantly. The scarred hybrid advanced on him slowly, her tail arced in a manner that was rather friendly, the black tip of her tail wavering in the air. "Good morning," she said, an uncharacteristic cheerfulness in her voice. If this was a visitor admitted by Gabriel, she ought to have been on her best behavior, and the same went if it were a brand new clanmember. Though the reaction to such a statement at this late hour was generally met with confusion, she had no idea this stranger held similar hours, and such a greeting to him was ridiculously appropriate. |
