It was just another pit stop in his long trek to…well, Rinato hadn’t figured out exactly where he was heading, just taking each adventure as it came. But there was something about being able to look around and not see a single mound of snow, not a slate of frigid ice anywhere, that made this place appetizing. So Rinato had decided to take the rest of the day off from hiking to the next location and enjoy a lazy day by this great sea side. The male was laid out in the middle of the sand, belly pushed into the ground as his legs stretched out in front of him. The constant thought of having bits and pieces of sand stuck to his fur was picking at his brain but Rin tried to ignore that the best he could. A few moments of relaxing in the sun and then he would wash it all off in the ocean. Pleased with the plan the wolf smiled, his golden eyes closing in the afternoon light as he lifted his head up to the sky. When was the last time he had just sat down? It was always moving, always hunting, always surviving. Rin needed this day off, a day free of stress. A breeze twisted around the medium sized wolf, ruffling his pristine coat as it did so. This was the perfect place to escape from it all. The beach was empty besides for the lone wolf; there were no humans, no canines, no other creatures save for a few sea gulls that drifted on the winds above him. “Perfect,” he whispered, lowering his head and watching as the ocean lapped at the sand.

[Avranathe]

It was no wonder that Avranathe felt good today. For the first time in a while, she was somewhere with no freezing wind that numbed her nose and paws, no freshly fallen snow that crunched angrily whenever she walked, no dark sky that seemed to hate and despise all life in its yearning to spread the darkness.

Here, where the endless blue ocean finally touched the sparkling sands of solid earth and then slipped back out towards the sunset again, there was a sense of calm and peace. Though it was not warm here, it wasn't cold either, and the scream of deadly and haunting winds was replaced now with the soft whisper of a soft, salty breeze traveling slowly and silently, like a feather, down the coast and back again.

Even though this place was so pleasant compared to what Av was used to, there was no trace of the sound that the white she-wolf had yearned for so long to hear; the soft sound of a canid predator's paws as they padded toward Avranathe to meet her or at least communicate with her. The fae had longed for even a fleeting companionship ever since she had lost her brother to adulthood, but she had received only a few glimpses of others of her kind, but that never gave her any pleasure. She wished to hear the growling voice of a wolf, to feel the love of a living being once again.

The she-wolf sighed. She was walking along the coast, as she had been for the last few hours, searching and sniffing for food and companionship. So far she'd found a plump rat and a crab, and while she'd had a small amount of luck with the rat, which she'd killed and eaten, all she received form the crab was a snap of it's sharp pinschers as she darted forward to try and grab it.

Suddenly, she stopped. There was a scent on the breeze, which had just changed directions and started to drift her way. The scent of a wolf. Av's ears, head and tail immediately shot upwards, her nose twitching and sniffing determinedly. She searched excitedly for the source of the scent, her icy eyes zig-zagging everywhere at once. She started to trot toward the scent at an easy pace, her nose to the ground and her eyes straight ahead.

Finally, after a few minutes of sniffing and searching, Avranathe stopped sniffing and lifted her long white muzzle out of the sand and stared at a wolf-shaped black spot that lay on the sand ahead of her. She froze, suddenly realizing that this wolf, however pleasing to see, may not have been friendly at all. But Avranathe had to at least try and meet the stranger, or else she would be betraying all of her desires and hopes. There was no other option for her, but she would be careful.

Walking slowly forward, her tail wagging a bit in a friendly gesture, the white wolf approached the dark wolf, stopping a few feet away from him and sitting down.

"Hello there, stranger," She growled in a friendly tone, "I just saw you over here, and thought I'd say hello... You see, I haven't met anyone in quite a while." No doubt, she thought, the dark-furred male would a bit confused about her willingness to approach him so quickly.

[atrb=background,http://i16.servimg.com/u/f16/17/89/07/10/rinato12.png] The ocean waves were a lullaby to Rinato as his golden eyes started to flicker shut, chin resting on the sand underneath him. This was the second time he had ever visited a beach- the first time when he was a teenaged pup leaving for his first adventure away from home. There were no majestic bodies of water like this in his old birthplace, nothing that created the breath taking surfs or smelt so fresh. He had always wanted to bring his sister Dart to the beach…though Rin never got the chance. Pushing away the thoughts of lost family, something so dreary on a beautiful day, Rin settled in for a good snooze. The warmth from the sun’s rays pulsed around the great wolf, making him sigh contently, all of his stiff muscles relaxing at once. He was seconds away from having the best nap of his life, or at least Rin assumed it would have been one of the best naps of his life, when he heard a voice call across the dunes. "Hello there, stranger," She growled in a friendly tone, "I just saw you over here, and thought I'd say hello... You see, I haven't met anyone in quite a while." One eye peeking open Rinato looked to see a white wolf sitting a few spots away from him, tail wagging. Head still resting on the sand Rinato studied the female, eyes roaming lazily over her. She was as white as snow, which almost made Rin laugh as he thought he’d escape from the clutches of winter. The female’s coat, in itself, was nothing out of the norm, but what really stood out to Rinato were the female’s eyes. Blue like the ocean surrounding them. What a peculiar little thing, Rin absently thought as he studied the stranger, to have aspects from two different seasons on her body. From that Rin decided he liked her. The male wolf pushed himself from his laying position, muscles flexing under his glossy fur as he did so. He mimicked the female’s position: sitting with tail wagging. “Hello,” he smiled, not worried that the female was trying to trick him. “I’m right there with you on the whole ‘not meeting anyone for a while’ thing. You’re my first company in a long time.” Giving his coat a shake, Rin looked into the stranger’s eyes. “Rinato Isshu, at your service.” "SPEECH" QUOTE

[Hybrid]

Circe walked with a beat. Walk, walk, two steps back. Walk, walk, two steps back. She sat down, front paws in the ocean. Amber chasms gazing out into the ocean, she started singing a song that her mom would sing to her to get her to sleep when she was a pup. [pink] "Wake up the dawn and ask her why/ A dreamer dreams, she never dies/Wipe that tear away now from your eye."[/pink] She couldn't really remember the rest, she thought she had it when the breeze carried two canine scents to her nares. Male and female. There. Off in the distance. She was a bit envious of the female's blue eyes, bit whatever. As for the male. Hansom, but the tusks bugged her slightly. [pink] "Um, hello? Hope I'm not intruding in your conversation."[/pink] She smiled, her marble tail a fast moving blur behind her.
