LET'S SEE HOW FAR WE GO
The silence was clung to by the boy. He couldn?t find himself desiring much else, but that wasn?t entirely too surprising. Crucible was a man of little action and fewer words. Even as the sky faded to black and exhaustion didn?t come (noting that at the end of the day he should be tired) he felt annoyed. The gentle crash of waves against the blackened shore was refreshing and soothing and the thoughts of his inadequacy seemed to flee far from his mind. He would be able to make up for lost time. This, however, was something he knew that, once he left, he would not see for quite some time. So, he enjoyed it as thoroughly as he could. Now, though, he was not alone.
She walked across the sand. Her paws fell lightly and made little noise. She wouldn?t have been detected by someone who was louder than he. It wasn?t too impressive, of course, regardless he watched from a distance. She didn?t intrude on him, and so perhaps she sought out solitude. He...did in a way. Speaking to others was not his forte and he did not see the joy in breaking the silence. Still, it was unbeknownst to him that his golden eyes lingered on her for many long moments. He hadn?t realized that she was able to sit and move and do so much before him, because his thoughts were not on what he saw, but on what he made of it. Curious indeed.
Another moment passed and he fell back to reality. He had been staring at her for a long moment with eyes that seemed to wonder what would happen next. His reaction was lacking and given his immediacy for silence, and the figure that she was here for the same, he only needed to relieve himself of the delusion that he had noticed his forlorn gaze. Surely it had been avoided, no?

There would be silence between the two for a while, but a warm silence without uncertainty and together but apart they would watch the fall of the sun and the start of the shadows. She would find her gaze travelling out across the expanse of sea, where the bright waters had already turned dark and the light of the stars could be seen against it back till far out and past her sights. Through her pondering she could feel the gaze of the stranger against her and a sly smile would touch the corners of her lips. She would sit up then and stretch, pushing her paws out before her as far she could manage, until the tips of them touched the calm sea. Her butt would rise and stretch out also and her tail would be a banner behind her, swaying in the barely existing breeze.
She would settle again then, feeling for that gaze she knew wasn't far away, and casually she would toss her head over her shoulder in a casual gesture and her eyes would settle upon this boy. Still he was silent, and the more so he stayed the more he piked her curiosity. She was smiling at him now, a soft curve of her lips and a lowering of her lashes.
