Zeitgeist had managed to travel from one side of Nova Scotia to the other over time. The place turned out to not be all that large, at least where width was concerned. But then again this was something he could have easily already speculated because of the map that he kept with him at all times. It was the possession that he kept tucked close to his heart, quite literally in fact as it resided in a pocket placed upon the inside of the vest that he wore. The pocket was situated over his left breast. The map wasn't anything fancy but just a wrinkled and creased piece of paper that definitely showed its age and how often it was looked upon.

For a brief moment Z had considered pulling out the map again but it wasn't like he really needed to as he had practically had it memorized. Still, it was a memento that served to remind him of the one that he still thought dearly of. Because of that he refused to part with it as he had his other belongings. All possessions that Zeitgeist had now were what was on his body. Had he known that he wasn't to find the wealth and riches so easy to come by over on this side of the world than he might have tried to bring it all with him. Instead now he was forced to live pretty much like he had started out in life, just a street tramp out begging for scraps and hand outs. Well, except there weren't really any streets to find out here.

Or maybe he was wrong on that as he came upon dirt pathways that had unmistakenably been roads at one point. He followed these for a ways, Guillotine and Ptolemy with him as they always here, before turning to get closer to the water. The dog ended up kneeling down in order to peer into the water, trying to see through to the bed at the bottom. He had learned that at times shiny baubles could be found in the silt and washed in by tides. Zeitgeist reached a hand into the water in order to try and feel for the bottom of the stream to see what hidden treasures could be found down there.


And if you're ever around, in the city or the suburbs, of this town,
Be sure to come around, I'll be wallowing in sorrow, wearing a frown,

OOC Stuffs go here

Terra had been playing along the lakes for some time, running into the water and splashing around just to run back out quick as she could. Water dripped from her coat, sand and mud covering her legs. Green eyes sparkled happily as she threw herself into the beauty of the pristine lake, becoming part of it only to depart again with as much noise as a bullet coming out of a gun. Tail wagging brightly behind her the coyote trotted along, sniffing at the various items on the shore.



A curious sight revealed itself to the female after a short trip. A male, with the funniest hat she'd ever seen placed upon his head. A tiny young dog was there as well, with a bird. Mildly Terra wondered if the bird would taste good before returning to fixate on the jingly hat. Silently she moved with all the skill of the thief that she was. The last small distance Terra put on a burst of speed, planning on snatching the hat before running off as fast as she could.

Zeitgeist found nothing but sand as he pulled his hand back up from the water. He frowned at the sand as if there had to be more to it before he dipped his hand back into the water and allowed for the current to carry the contents away from his palm. He wasn't certain what he had been hoping to find but it wasn't what he had found. He had figured on acquiring some form of trinket no matter how small it actually turned out to be. But that hadn't happened. It didn't deter him from shifting down the stream a short distance and trying again only to come up empty handed once more.

The sound of Guillotine grunting as well as an upset Ptolemy squawking drew Zeitgeist's attention. He looked towards the pair and glanced towards where Guillotine was pointing at a female rushing towards them. Zeitgeist was quick to stand and sweep the boy, as well as the bird up into his arms. The male clutched tightly and protectively to the ones that he traveled with as he watched the female before speaking. "It might be best if you were to watch where it was that you were headed." Z spoke before stepping to the side with a chuckle, displaying the stream that he had been searching around in. "A single misstep is a risk for injury as the bottom isn't stable." He deigned it appropriate to explain what he had meant by his earlier words.

The male offered up a pleasant enough smile as he shook his head which caused the bells on his hat to jingle for he had received warning enough to stand before it could be snatched away from him. "I would advise against racing about in this area." He shifted Guillotine's weight in order to prop the boy up on a hip in order to free up one arm to point towards the ocean. "The tides are vicious out that way and this stream leads right out into the open waters. Before you know it you could be stuck out there where none would be able to reach you before the creatures of the deep gobble you up. Don't think I'm just pulling your leg as I've seen it myself. Well, not from this point nor being dragged out but there was an individuo that had fallen off the boat we were on. Before the captain could think about circling back after him he was just swallowed up by something... massive." It was the only way that he could think to describe it. "There are le cose living out there that you never want to see or mess with.

OOC Stuffs go here


She had been doing well, up to the point where the bird started freaking out. Normal prey reaction to the sight of a charging predator. The male stood up, scooping his small cluster of companions spoke, leaving Terra to miss at the goal that had caught her attention from so far off. Forlornly Terra stared up at the bright object, wishing with all her heart that they had been quiet. Terra had done so well in her stealth, yet they had noticed her. Shame.



Told to watch where she stepped Terra looked curiously at the stream. Shaking her head Terra looked up. Danger's everywhere. In every breath, every step, every meal we take. I see no reason to exercise caution when I don't elsewhere. Terra walked on a razor edge between life and death, daring to challenge it again and again, escaping from it's grasp. She was a very lucky creature, and she took full advantage of that fact.

Zeitgeist wasn't certain what the female was looking at as she stared up at him. Honestly It could have been any number of things but none of which he would allow for her to acquire. Right now he was living with the bare minimum and he wasn't looking to trade away any of it until he had some extra stores. He wanted back the luxury that he had given up to travel. "Might I ask what it is that you are staring at?" He asked as her forlorn work hadn't escaped his attention. How could it when he was looking right at her? She was doing nothing to conceal it so of course he was going to question it. Zeitgeist had no problem with voicing what was on his mind when it suited him and generally that was him pursuing others for questions that only they could answer, questions where he could learn more about them.

"Then it is your choice to live recklessly but I will not abide by you placing those with me in harm's way simply because you wish to chance it upon yourself. You could have harmed Guillotine or Ptolemy and not just yourself. So if you won't do it for yourself then be mindful of the company that you are in." If she wanted to be an idiot then that was on her but Zeitgeist wasn't fond of the thought that she couldn't care about anyone else either. After all he had meant to have taken Guillotine away from harm so he clearly wouldn't stand for someone else putting him in harm's way because of their mindless nature. Not after Zeitgeist spent so much time trying to keep the boy safe.

While Z could easily remain pleasant with most he was finding an issue with treating this foolhardy girl with civility. But then again that was because she seemed to care for no one at all and well, Zeitgeist cared for Guillotine so someone that couldn't care for the boy as well was someone he'd rather not have to deal with at all. "Now that no one is in your way then please carry on with what you were doing." Zeitgeist kept his voice even as he carried Guillotine closer to the lake, heading closer to where the stream connected with the lake rather than staying down near where it emptied out into the ocean. He was leaving the female to run about as she wished but he refused to put Guillotine at risk and so had moved away from her in order to leave her behind.

Terra smiled crookedly up at him, tail wagging softly. Your hat. She really liked it. One way or another, Terra was bound and determined to get a grip on the jingly object. Tilting her head Terra considered what he had said. She hadn't felt like the others had been placed in danger. She was a rather graceful creature after all. Terra wouldn't have brushed them at all in her mad dash. Going near others was a good way to get caught after all.

Looking at the young male Terra shook her head, trying to think about how she would put him in danger. Well, that wasn't particularly difficult, as Terra did that all the time with others to amuse herself. She hadn't put him in danger that time though. Well, Terra didn't think she had. She watched them move closer to the lake she'd been swimming in for a moment before trotting after them, curious about the odd male. Why was he like that? And why did he care about that male?

"What of my hat?" Zeitgeist asked as he peered down at the female. Keeping Guillotine held up on one hip the older male had reached his other hand up to tug his hat tighter onto his head. He didn't know what was wrong with the female. Perhaps she was simply addled in the head. Zeitgeist knew of one that was like that but it had been an older female that had bordered on being ancient. Zeitgeist couldn't think of anyone young that seemed to be off in the head the way this female seemed to be.

Once Zeitgeist had gotten to the lake he had been about to put Guillotine down in order to let the boy explore on his own but then thought better of it when he caught the odd female trailing along behind them. He had no clue what was wrong with her. Normally Zeitgeist would feel some pity for someone that seemed sick in the head like she seemed to be but he simply couldn't conjure it up for her. Perhaps if she hadn't made a mad dash for them then he might have been more forgiving. But as it was he simply didn't trust her presence enough to let the boy down while she was still in sight.

"Don't worry, it's not you." Zeitgeist reassured Guillotine when the boy had picked up on the faint agitation that Zeitgeist felt. He gave Guillotine a smile and tried to put the other at ease. Zeitgeist had no clue what to do about the female since she had followed him. He had thought walking away and ignoring her would have sent her on her way to throw herself into harm's way and simply leave them be but that hadn't happened.

It was a short trip down, Terra padding over the rocks comfortably. She looked over to the water, considering splashing through and starting up her games again, but she was relentless in her pursuit of what she wanted. Which was currently the strange male's attention, unfortunately for him. He was an odd creature, different from what she knew. Not to mention his hat. She'd never seen anything like it before. While that wasn't particularly unusual, the bright noise and shine of the light off it kept Terra coming after it.

Picking up on the slight unease Terra grinned, knowing that it was from her presence. That was easy enough to fix. Silently Terra moved, letting her presence fade into the background. Terra had always been a rather stealthy creature, but after Shadow's lessons Terra had brought it to an art, little more than a dapple of light in the shadows as she moved. Working her way up to a different angle Terra peered down, wondering what kind of amusement she could draw out of them. He cared about the boy a lot. Perhaps if she lured the young luperci off.

Zeitgeist wasn't about to let Guillotine out of his sight, let alone off of his hip, with such a strange being around. Being stalked wasn't exactly something that Zeitgeist was fond of. It was just another thing that set him on edge about the female. It wasn't often that there were too many that he couldn't stand but she certainly had become one. He refused to let his guard down when he knew that she was about. He didn't even bother with charm around her either.

Zeitgeist looked down at the water and spoke to Guillotine in Italian, conversing for only the boy to be able to hear and understand him. He watched Guillotine's reflection as he spoke, waiting for the boy to acknowledge that he heard what had been said before he spoke again. Though this time he walked as he spoke. He kept a distance between himself and the water, keeping himself alert to his surroundings. It was pretty obvious that he didn't trust the female in the slightest.

The older male left behind the area of the lakes. The female couldn't take the hint that he wanted to be left alone to enjoy his day down but the water and so he took the steps to move elsewhere in order to enjoy his day. He wasn't about to allow her to ruin his day so he would just spend it elsewhere instead. He would just have to make an attempt at finding hidden treasures in the bed of the streams at some other point in time on some other day.
