Ciara had collapsed on the ground when Ceri went flying, yipping with laughter. She fully expected him to jump up and yell at her, and for a moment it seemed like he might. However, the boycoy simply laid there with his limbs sprawled out awkwardly, staring at the sky. Ciara, a little nervous, sat down on her haunches and let out a small whimper, afraid she'd really hurt the man.
When Ceri came over to her, though, and began licking at her face and ears, the yearling relaxed. She closed her eyes and leaned into the licking, giving a happy little whine as he seemed as thrilled with the place as she was. She nuzzled at him gently, and nipped at his neck, freely giving him affection now that she was certain he wasn't mad. In a little moment of playfulness, Ciara nipped very lightly at his ear, before pushing her nose into it.
"This is my favorite place," she said afterwards, when she'd pulled back from his ear. Licking at his snout, Ciara then ducked her head beneath his chin and rubbed against him, pressing her side close to his. The sea had nearly swallowed the sun by now, but they were blessed with the light of a crescent moon above them. It glittered over the water, and the mottled female let out a relaxed sigh as she nestled to her companion in the sand.
Reluctantly, Ciara turned to look towards the bend on the shore which signified New Dawn's territory. She knew that she should be getting back to the den soon before her pack members began to worry for her, but she was enjoying this time so much. Ears swiveling, she swore she could hear a howl - maybe it was Soran, calling for her. The yearling let out a huff, and pushed her nose into Ceri's fur.
