Crash Upon The Rocks

It'd been a long while since Kai had wandered this far from Winterfell's lands. Much of the last few months had been spent recovering from his time in captivity. His treatment hadn't been extreme, not by any means, but saying he'd been treated kindly would be inaccurate. His body had slimmed from lack of food, his muscles wasting away from lack of activity - and he needed to fix that before going anywhere at all. And so he'd spent the last season hunting what little prey he could in the bitter cold of winter, and the volcano had been no help at all. While prey was always scarce up north, the lack of sunlight - thanks to the thick cloud of ash that only now seemed to be trying to break - hadn't helped things at all. The winter had been a grim, bleak one.. and so far the spring wasn't looking significantly better.

To the west, he wasn't having much luck either. He wasn't a fan of eating the prey that lived in the sea either, but he had long since abandoned his hopes of finding a suitable meal for the afternoon, and instead was focused on a different kind of hunt. A familiar face, maybe, or even a stranger - anything to arrest him from his grim thoughts. As the day drew on he grew closer to the sea, far from Winterfell, and each pawstep drew him further and further from the negative feelings he'd been harboring over his time there. Here, he felt he could finally release himself from those frustrations.. even if for a short while. Here he was a free man, unburdened by heartache and regret and anger. Here he could just be Kai.

For a long while he thought he was entirely alone here. Slowly he meandered down the long stretch of sand, occasionally watching the patterns that formed as the waves lapped at the black shoreline. Eventually, though, he heard something in the distance - ahead of him, it seemed - and his ears perked, tusked head lifting to let him focus on the horizon ahead of him. Eventually he saw the pale coat of someone up ahead, standing near the edge of the water. Had they been screaming? That was what it had sounded like, but he saw nothing that could've caused such a sound, not that he could see. Interesting. Curious, he padded forward, closing the vast distance that seemed to separate him and the stranger. Upon further inspection it became obvious she was soaked, and he cast a brief glance to the cat near her before turning his attention to her. "You have a deathwish or something?" Kai asked, more amused than concerned, raising his brows in inquiry. The Jarvela weren't known for their love for water and he'd never really been the swimming type, especially not in water this cold - such a thing seemed foolish to him. He couldn't help but wonder what exactly she was seeking out in those cold depths.
