Since the coal mistress had arrived in the thistle kingdom she had drunk up any and all of her new homes customs, finding the most interesting hiding their scent from any and all who were outside the thorny borders. She supposed she understood, Salsola was very secretive, but it was a chore washing her and her horse and covering both of them with various plants. Thus far, she didn't think she would be going for trysts outside the packlands purely for convenience. The unclaimed lands hosted more useful plants then inside the kingdom, so she would leave only for that.
Swishing her tail lightly, skeleton-esque hands rested on her hips lightly as she stared from within the depths of her fathers wolf skull, smiling softly. This day was beautiful and perfect for a little dip in the ocean. The ebony woman was alone on this day, leaving Valhalla to graze somewhere nearby and Max in his quarters, she wished to be by herself and dwell in the recesses of her own company, something that was rare occasion. Gracefully she padded forward, her feet making noise as the soft, spongy earth near the shoreline muffled her movements.
A light breeze swept over the rocks and ruffled her inky fur, and icy pools drank in the sight of the ocean, relishing the sharp, salty scent that hung in the air. Everything about this place was fresh, and she enjoyed the feeling of the slick rocks beneath her feet. The earth and given away to the hard surface of rock, and with never-ending grace she picked her way down the rocky outcroppings until moist sand was what she tread on. Her weight left sunken in footprints as she walked without a care down the beach, taking care to avoid crabs and sharp rocks that littered the shore.
Her skull hung on a bulky leather belt that had many pockets and clasps on it that rested on her waist, swaying with every movement the night maiden made. A quiet melody escaped her bleached maw, a lighter side revealed to the hardened warrior. It was a wordless song, but one she had learned as a little coywolf in Norway, and it carried on the ocean breeze to touch the harks of someone who might be listening.
