Faint growls and whispers, memories of light touches from cuddling his siblings and then teeth tearing apart his flesh all played on a reel in his dreamland. The reel was moving far too fast for Elias to comprehend his dream, but he was gradually beginning to wake up as the gentle feeling of another's nose brushed into his shoulder. He wanted to move into the nuzzling feeling, though soon realized he was no longer dreaming when he felt the sand graze across his left forelimb when he curled it in closer to his chest to be able to lay on his side and lean into her. He stopped moving before he fully pressed his weight against the other one standing on the beach with him, once his conscious mind realized that someone was most certainly beside him. His lighter gray eyelids began to part, his eyes just a few shades darker than they would be on a day where they reflected light in open sun.
For a moment, he thought about whipping his body around as fast as he could and baring his teeth at the other to prepare to defend himself, but the feeling still lingering on his skin from where she brushed through the short fur on his shoulder told him that there was no need. He remained cautious even still, and slowly turned his head so he could see her. As soon as he looked up and realized who it was, her scent and image hit him all at once. She was soaking wet and shivering, which brought him immediately to his paws. "Are you alright?"
There was a panic manifesting itself within his mind, his blood rushing despite the cold as he let himself worry. The emotion immediately scared him, as he had been doing his best to remain centered in order to remain in control of his psyche. He took a breath and looked away from her for just a moment, though kept his attention on her and all the while offered his ears to listen. He just needed to recollect, and after a quick shake of his fur to free it from loose sand, he was able to take a few steps away from her and turn around to face her with a bit more confidence that he would be able to keep it together.
