to neverless wonder

The first stars were just beginning to appear in the sky. Gideon used them to distract himself from the idea of crabs pinching him in the night. He sighed, grumbling something unintelligible (even to himself) under his breath. At least it was a lovely night. The spring air was warm, the climate peaceful, and it would do him no harm to wander the shore a bit longer in the night... Right? Well, it was his only option, so he might as well get used to it. The dusky woman was cold without being impolite, necessarily. Gideon could respect that and looked on her with new interest. What was she doing on this island, anyways? He hadn't expected to find anyone else around, which was part of the reason for his sudden exodus. Low and behold, there she was. He considered himself a bit of a queer fellow, so what did that make her? Still, it was against his nature to badger anyone with questions, so at last he turned away for good. The night was pleasant, but growing stronger by the minute. It wasn't like he had much time to spare. Perhaps he'd run into the woman again in the morning, but that was an issue for another day. He turned with a flourish of his tail. "True enough. Pleasant dreams, Nati," he called out as he went. "Don't let the hermit crabs bite!" He had a few more miles left in him, and he figured that was plenty of time. He paced on, already daydreaming of somewhere cozy and warm. -Exit unless stopped- "Talk" "You" Think

OOC: Sorry this is wrapping up so soon, Gideon's just not the type of guy to linger and bother someone else! xD But if you want I could start another thread for us for the following morning?
