Kicking Up Seaspray
10-04-2013, 04:08 PM
There were few things more therapeutic than the seashore to Arayne. The waves, the wind, the absolute freedom she felt standing on the shore, it all helped to wash away her bad mood and replace it with giddiness. She galloped across the sand, pushing herself to go faster, loving the sound of the wind whistling her head ears. Leaping a large, twisted piece of driftwood, she skidded to a stop, throwing up chunks of sand. Tongue lolling and eyes bright, she looked about the beach and spotted a flock of seagulls. With a childlike grin, she charged through the flock, sending birds up into the air with a flurry of scolding squawks. One feather drifted down, and she made a spectacular leap to catch it midair, shaking it about before releasing it again to let it drift to the ground.
Finally exhausted, she loped to the water's edge and began searching for seashells and shark's teeth. Minnows darted away from her paws, continually dragged along by the waves rolling in and out. A large mass loomed in front of her, and she went forward to investigate, finding the smooth, bare, bleached bones of a long-decomposed beached wall. She had seen a whale once, but only it's back from a far distance as it breached, and to her the bones might have well been from a monster. She sat in the giant cavern that had once housed a gut, and tilted her head. "Echo!" she called, then laughed as her voice rebounded off the bones. "Echo!" she shouted again, listening to the phantom voice repeating her words.

He loved this beach, there was so much easy pray. Seals that sat lazily on the shore, to far from the water to escape, fish that swam about slowly and sluggishly, they both made easy pickings. He could smell the salt on the air. He preferred the metallic tang of blood. He grinned.
He had seen the female as be was walking. He growled silently, she was frolicking inside a whales skeleton. She should not be so happy. He would confront her. He looked at her brown coat. It was boring, he liked interesting pelts. Some might say his was boring, but he thought of it as, minimalistic. He looked at her eyes, as much as he hated himself for it, they were beautiful. A bright electric blue.
OOC: sorry for the short-Ness.

It seemed she wouldn't be alone for long. The wind was blowing the male's scent away from her, but she could see him clearly in the distance. She was not, however, close enough to see the scowl on his face. "Hello over there!" she called, wagging her tail. "Come to enjoy the beach too?"
Slipping between the bones of the massive ribcage, she trotted towards him, her posture loose and playful. "Have you seen that giant skeleton? Crazy, right? What do think it is, some sort of whale?" As she neared, she began to see his glare, and faltered slightly. Was she trespassing again?

He growled. "Enjoy is such a strong word, I would say, more, hmmm... Well, kill, murder, mutilate." He said with strong distaste. He HATED females, especially happy females. "Where is your pack?" He growled. He chose not to answer the skeleton question, that would show interest, and that was definitely not there. He wondered if her skeleton would be fun to play with. The 'shadows' in his head twisted and laughed, so he laughed with them. His black fur kept the cold out nicely, he wasn't warm, but he wasn't dying of hypothermia. It was warm in his cave, his youth pelt-bed, the stone walls instigated his body heat quite well.
"Speech"

Arayne drew her head back at the male's words, expression a mixture of fear and confusion. Well. Somebody didn't like the beach. She sniffed, affronted, as he rudely demanded to know what pack she was in. "I have no pack." she said, lifting her head and tail proudly. "I go where I please, when I please." Come to think of it, he had no pack scent either. Or maybe he did, and she just didn't recognize it. She had yet to meet any wolves in a pack, aside from that batshit 'empress' Cattina.
