Slay padded along after Cercelee, his icy blue eyes lazily observing the passing wildlife. The tall male felt at ease again, knowing that he was not alone, and that others awaited his return. Colibri and her sister would be fine on their own, and could probably use some time to catch up. He didn't begrudge them that - it had been a long time since he'd actually known companionship. And he had to admit, it was nice being surrounded by female friends and not worrying about pack politics. He was somewhat dreading the day when they would declare a leader and subordinates... He had problems with authority, but if he had to put up with orders to stay with companions, then so be it...
Shaking his piebald ruff to clear his mind of such unpleasantness, Slay raised his muzzle to be greeted with the sea... The rolling waves, crashing onto the sandy shore. A grin curved on his black lips as he watched his younger companion bolt forward excitedly. Ah, she wasn't that much younger than him. But to be honest, she reminded him a bit of his cousin, Aniketos. They were similar in their enthusiasm, as well as their looks. But no, Cercelee was clearly a different wolf. Again, Slay was not one to deliberately point out resemblances. They were rarely a compliment to those on the receiving end.
"Hmph, indeed it is. Quite a majestic sight, really. It goes on forever..." he drawled in response, melodic voice deep and clear in the crisp air. He liked all the colours in the sea. Unlike transparent rivers, the ocean had deep greens and blues and white foam. "Heh, wonder how cold it is? Wanna find out?" Slay gave a wicked grin, ebony-dipped tail waving playfully behind him.
