Long Time No See

Sauntering her way across the land, Iskra had traveled far and wide, a borderline mischievous smirk always tugging at her inky lips. It had been what seemed like a lifetime since she’d seen anything she could really refer to as a familiar face. Sure, there’d been more than a few introductions, interesting conversations, yet all the same she rarely saw the same wolf twice. While she kept herself busy, the nebulous girl had the sense that she should go in search of more. Better. She needed to find anything, anything at all to keep her from getting so dreadfully bored.
Dancing to the tune of a song only she could hear, yes, that was Iskra. When the beach came into view it seemed to call to her, and she wasn’t one to deny a call. Descending a slope on hurried paws, the red wolf scanned her surroundings with ill-concealed interest, smile spreading. Her paws sank into the sand, laugh bubbling up from the depths of her chest, the girl set off, running by the water hard and fast till she was breathless. The mad dash would likely have continued if she hadn’t caught a wisp of a scent. A stranger? For some reason she was inclined to think not. Who could this be?
Her heart was still racing from her running, which combined with the excitement of seeing someone on this fine, warm as hell evening left her feeling amped and ready for anything. It took some searching, prancing and pacing across the sand and to the water, making her way in a zig-zag down the beach until she saw it. The form of another nestled in the sand. She was off, loping her way closer without caring for a slow and cautious approach that others might opt for. Sliding to a stop – and kicking up a fair amount of sand in the process – Iskra beamed, ”Well, do my eyes deceive me? Has the night sky fallen from the heavens? Or could it be, a fellow star child… One I know at that, but, oh, what was her name…” Isk found that her tail was waving behind her of its own accord. It really was good to see family.
