The coated male sat vigilantly in a tree overlooking the beach and ocean near the borders of the coyote clan. He hadn't returned to this place since his first visit and encounter with the elusive hybrid man. Onus had not been convinced that his motives were as defensive as he seemed to like to believe. That and his unwillingness to provide clear direct answers had only made him more suspicious. He knew he would get no where else talking with that male and so had left the matter alone for a few weeks. Now he had returned to a different spot to watch and observe much as he had before. Hopefully this excursion would yield more information. The comings and goings of the clan members were less interesting than he had hoped. He could see not overt suspicious behavior from any of them. Just the simple, boring comings and goings of any normal group boundary one might come across. Still, the man could sense something darker beating at the heart of this place. It was there. He just didn't know what it was. Not yet. He would find out what it was one way or another. There appeared to be much more corruption in these lands than he had first thought. Not just from here, but everywhere. Rapists, murderers, madmen. They crawled all over these lands. Onus' interest was peaked as a blond female walked to the beach and stood by what appeared to be some sort of makeshift grave. Crudely constructed, but it was clear that was what it was. Covered eyes watched as she lit and cigarette and just held it as it burned, never taking any drags off of it. What strange behavior. It was something he had never seen before. In other places he had seen people smoke the human sticks, but never here. And really he wasn't seeing it now either. Intrigued enough to instigate conversation he jumped from his perch and took a few steps towards the woman. "Someone you knew?" he questioned flatly.  |
