WHEN I WATCH YOU, WANNA DO YOU, RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE STANDING.


It was an unexpectedly sunny day for only the second week of April, and between the warmth radiating from the sky above and the calm winds that curved gently through the land, the weather was remarkably pleasant. As the chocolate colored Luperci rested on a rounded boulder near the sea, he penciled small symbols and letters of his native Welsh tongue into the damp sand. They didn't appear to the trained Welsh eye to mean anything specific or concrete, and even if they did, to any passerby who had been born to Nova Scotia, the anarchy of sketches would be indecipherable gibberish at worst and maybe peculiar jargon at best. This left Zacor completely unconcerned as he doodled, moving thoughts from the mental medium to the physical as they gasped to life and faded out just as soon. There was a lot to think about lately: leaving his home back in Wales, then losing the ship he had claimed with Anathra, and now his newfound feelings for the blue-haired girl. All of these things shook his world, altering it at its core. It was hard to picture how everything was going to come together in some "new life," but he guessed that things would fall into place as each day marched on. In his apathy and sloth, he would trudge behind the march at times, but it wasn't as if he had any reason to rush ahead to the front just yet...in his lack of a damn to give, he would speculate introspectively until he knew if there was anything waiting at the front of the march, and only then would he take action, sprinting to the lead to take whatever goodness was there to be had before trudging along once more.


After dropping his piece of skeletal driftwood, he stretched his arms with a long yawn before his hands came to rest upon his knees. He was here to survey the available resources; Anathra and he could not rely solely on a dusty street in old Halifax to sustain them, so it was vital to know what flora and fauna they could find in the lands nearby. If it had been any less than vital, Zacor probably would not have set out on a long trek to investigate this new world around them. At least, he wouldn't have done it without Ana for company. But she had other things to tend to today, like replacing that poor excuse for a bed, although she would probably need Zacor's help in moving any suitable replacement to its proper place in the abandoned apartment. And since this was, in fact, quite vital to their continued existence here, Zacor resigned his apathy enough to take up the task. It had given him some time to think and also confirmed that there would be more than enough prey and water to keep the two of them alive if not thriving, and if they wanted to stretch their claim out just a bit farther than his walk had taken him today, then he was sure they could accommodate several others as well. Zacor was not a very social creature, but he supposed he wouldn't mind the extra company given that Ana couldn't always be home the same time he was, and he couldn't always be around when she was home, either. Life was much different in Nova Scotia than it had been back in Wales; as a Prince of Eidolon, he hadn't needed to lift a finger except to summon some lowly subordinate who would be forced by the duty of his rank to fulfill Z's every wish. But although things were not at all the same, they were how he wanted them. He didn't want to be the prized and coddled heir of Zephyrin Sian; he wanted to be whatever he actually was, even if that whatever was nothing grand at all.

RIGHT ON THE FOYER, RIGHT ON THIS DARK DAY, RIGHT IN PLAIN VIEW.

It was ironic that as soon as she had walked away from the landscape filled with the roots of her life passed, shoots of her history were pushing up and out of the soil. It had been a heart-stopping shock (and jolting revival) to see Ana again, after coming to the disjointed acceptance that she was a figure of the past. But to hear stories of her estranged father that were spoken without a seething, frightened tone... Ah, it was enough to turn her inner child upside down and flat on her head. Perhaps it was all a sign that some changes came for reasons of fulfillment, not dodgy, nonsensical life-lessons.


As she so (un)naturally did, Poe had already begun to explore the cityscape, although she held off her hoarding for when she had found a place to settle into. For now, she would focus on getting oriented, and getting food. Food being crabs. Lots and lots of crabs, she had become bent on, even going so far as to track down a bait shop for a couple of traps. They had proven quite successful overnight, and she dragged her bounty down the sandy shoreline; three lobster traps containing a number of crabs, several globs of seaweed, and now, plenty of sand.


She saw the lanky, sunbathing boy from a ways down the beach, and without much rhyme or reason, detoured directly towards him. She was not the shy sort to say the least, and particularly while confronted by utter social chaos, she took advantage of the spotty company she came across. So without any adieu, "Hey there," she shouted from a couple yards off, a strange sight for anyone to see. Defectively short, she had mummified her torso with gauze to cover and tend to her recent burn (and tied it with a bow--purely for a skewed fashion sense, of course) and wore a children's tutu low on her hips that were flanked by fists dragging cages of live, angry crabs.

Taxi was a lover of any and all thing shiny, and seashells happened to be one of those things. While one side was rough and dull, the soft underside was pearly and smooth, making Taxi think of the many ways she saw herself and others. To her knowledge, just about everybody had two sides to them. One was dull and boring—that was the one that they most often showed. The other, the soft pearly side that was bright and vulnerable and exciting was only shown to the ones they loved (or, in Taxi's case, wanted something from). As she turned the seashell over in her hand, she grinned, wondering who had created such beautiful things. She'd heard that little creatures lived inside (of the pretty part, no less), but that hardly seemed romantic enough for the young girl.


After deciding that this one was sufficient, she stuffed it into her makeshift shoulder sack. It made a soft clacking sound when it hit the other seashells and trinkets she'd found or had been given. It was only when she looked up again that she spotted the other two. Immediately, her eyes brightened, wondering if they had collections of trinkets they'd be willing to part with. The one with the strange clothing had something in her hands, though Taxi couldn't quite make out what it was. Shrugging, she sped off toward them, her sack thumping against her side with every stride, making her into a sort of traveling musical of percussion instruments.


The other two seemed to know each other (either that or they were simply the friendly type), but that didn't make a difference to the yearling. Pardon me for interrupting, she said, but I couldn't help but notice that you had some lovely crabs there. Taxi wasn't even particularly hungry (especially not for crab), but she knew that she just had to have those! They looked rather peculiar with their claws, and their roughness reminded her of the outer part of the seashells. I've never had crab before.
