Drift Away Together

Artorias had always loved the water. He'd loved their home at the falls and the hot springs, loved the coasts and shores he'd wandered on through his year of life, loved the rivers and lakes of Boreas and Auster. He also loved exploring the world, letting his paws touch lands he never even dreamed could exist. More so than any of that though, Artorias knew that he and Bowen shared a similar wanderlust, a desire to explore and engage with the world. He didn't know if Bowen shared his love for the water or not, but she had expressed her desire to be on the sea once more, and the young brute took that clue and ran with it. Since their conversation, he had spent a lot of time thinking about ways to make Bowen feel more at home again. The castle could be stifling to wolves like him and Bowen who wanted nothing more to roam—so that's exactly what they would do.

Artorias had heard from talks with pack mates about a bay to the south of Auster, tucked away in a quiet part of the continent, where an array of sea mammals liked to swim. It sounded like the ideal place for a little day trip: somewhere new, somewhere they could explore, somewhere they could swim and enjoy the water. He had found Bowen early that morning and asked her to come with him to explore the new land, deliberately remaining vague so he could surprise her with their destination. The trip didn't take long for the two young wolves moving at a good pace, crossing through the dense woods and emerging to a mangrove copse and a sparkling sea just beyond. The waters near the mangroves were choked with seaweed, but the shimmering waters of the sea proper beyond were crystal clear and inviting. The delighted grin on his face while he surveyed the bay couldn't be kept hidden. This would be perfect for the two adventure hungry wolves.

"Here we are!" Artorias said and waved a paw to the bay before them. A grin played on his lips while he glanced to his little sister, an excitement in his eyes to explore and interact with the world. "I don't know about you, but I think that water looks great for a swim." He chuckled and started a traipse over to cross the mangrove copse for the edge of the bay, looking around at his surroundings as he passed them by on his way to the lapping waves of the ocean.
