Sorry that took so long. And that's fine. ^.^
He bounced along on his four paws with excitement that was unbridled. The idea that he would get to see something so big, and so strange to him, was simply exhilarating! Kam trotted forward, returning in a pattern of running out ahead and darting back to safe boundaries of Vigilante's steps, in an attempt to rid himself of the excess energy that built on this thrill. His mind was nowhere but the idea of that moment, not worried about what would happen to him as he moved into the area or went to live with Vigilante; he couldn't worry about who he would meet or how others would react to the idea of the new pup, he was only worried about his chance to see the ocean, as if his life depended on it.
The excess energy manifested in chasing his tail, the young pup tottering over with a shocked yelp as he landed on his rump. It didn't seem to faze him, and he was quickly on his feet again, bolting around in excitement. He couldn't wait to get to the ocean, to see the big salty water that Vigilante had explained to him.
The laugh that eminated from Vigilante made Kambujiya grin, a silly grin that seemed out of place amongst the serious facial expressions he usually wore. Why had he laughed? Well, it would be sillies to ride on 'im. He huffed at the silent musing, cocking his head to the side as the King spoke. The new information made his muddy eyes widen; they rode on horses?! What was a horse? He shook his head vehemently: "Whassa horst?" He wasn't sure what a deer was either, so it was difficult to compare, but he was told they could go see the many horses of the Cour des Miracles. The added promise of horses brought his excitement to a new crescendo.
He kept a steady pace as he followed the steps of Vigilante Haskel deeper into the territory of the Cour des Miracles. The sharp scent of salt and water, the cries of gulls above, brought Kambujiya's attention to the expanse of land ahead. He sniffed faintly, his head drawing back against his shoulders as his eyes caught the sight of the expansive water rolling against the shore. That was the ocean, Vigilante said. The ocean. The pup simply stared, eyes wide as he took in the sight of the water, the sea birds above it. It was shocking that it was so large!
"Is big!" The exclamation came out more as a squeak than a coherent sentence, but the words were there. He hid behind the rear legs of Viglante, peeking out uneasily.
