Bitter Travel
Erik’s eyes continue to gaze at her, enjoying how she simply stood there for him to marvel at. His grin only widened when she exclaimed she too was a traveler. Rose even perked up a bit, wondering if this she-wolf knew the way to the ocean so Erik would quit his damn belly-aching. Though as the owl was curious of that, it was what Erik heard in her continued sentence that made his head give the slightest tilt in curiousness. Another calling? He was about to question it, finding a way to bring it out; whether he should bluntly say it or beat around the bush. What stopped him was her stating questions. Favorite terrain. The smile on his muzzle changed almost drastically. From a charming and perky grin it became subtle, soft and his eyes seemed to wonder as he could clearly see the crashing waves of the sea on the beach. Rose felt the muscles in his back beneath his fur change as his whole body relaxed. Rose knew he was back in his zen. ”The beach,” he said, his voice soft and almost whimsical. ”the sounds the water makes when it crashes along the sand, the shades of blue and clear splash when the sun shines down.” Slowly Erik’s eyes had closed. He could remember it all when he was pup. ”I grew up by the sea, marveled by its splendor, enjoying the smell and spray it would give my fur when i would wrong along the shallows.” His voice was still soft, stuck in his dream like state before Rose’s talon gave his skin a pinch to remind him where he was. He didn’t seem embarrassed that he had been caught off guard, remembering the wonderful time he had when he was there. He instead gave a soft chuckle and bowed his head again, one of his paws curling up as the bow itself was elegant. Rose mimicked this action atop his back, a wing out to help her balance. ”ah forgive me my lady, I do tend to get lost in the sea’s memory.” he explained and stood back up, his cheeky grin returning. ”I have been trying to find my way back to her,” he explained again as if the sea was a long lost lover. |
