If These Scars Could Speak

*Corvus* · 10-14-2019, 06:37 PM

Corvus wasn't sure why he'd crossed the water to head back to the mainlands, but... suddenly he found himself standing at the shore, soaked to the core. The tremors had seemed to subside - at least from where he and Abaven were temporarily residing - but he wasn't so sure things back in their homelands were totally back to normal yet. Still a dark layer of ash hung high in the sky, so heavy that Corvus found himself wondering if they'd even truly see a clear sky again. Maybe that was a gloomy outlook, but Corvus had never been an overly optimistic fellow, and recent events had only solidified his tendency to have a mostly realistic (albeit slightly jaded) worldview. Either way, he wanted to see what was going on, deciding that reporting back to the pack with news of what was happening closer to Mount Volkan.

He was wary as he navigated the bay, taking quite some time to warm up from the swim across from the island. It was winter, so that was to be expected, though the obscured sunlight seemed to have made the world that much colder. He fought a shiver as he continued on, giving his thick coat another hard shake as he continued down the beach. occasionally he lifted his snout higher to sniff at the air, though his senses were all but assaulted with the peculiar scent of briny seawater and not much else. That reason alone was enough to caught him a bit of surprise when he saw the figure of a dark female up ahead, not as close to the shoreline as he was, but close enough. He squinted, trying to make out the stranger in the distance.

Normally his reaction wasn't to reach out to strangers, not unless they seemed visibly eager for the company, but he couldn't help but feel more empathetic lately. Times were hard, especially for lone wolves.. who knew if this stranger had a pack, or anyone to lean on? He felt a pang of worry suddenly weigh down his chest, as he picked up his pace and continued down the beach, eventually veering closer to her. "Oh - hello!" He called out after a moment, assuaging some of his own awkwardness by pretending he'd just now noticed her, ambling a few steps closer.
