Glimmer and glow

Briar walked side by side with Artorias along the path that led from the castle down to the neighboring beach, her side gently brushing against his while she snuck little kisses and affections along the way. Watching him steadily recover and regain his mobility was the biggest relief she had ever felt and walking with him now down to the shore felt like a full circle moment. She snuck him out of the infirmary several more times in the days that followed their first excursion that had been cut short by his worried sister, but she had at least stuck to Gwynevere's rules enough to keep him within the courtyard or at the very least inside the walls that surrounded the castle. She was willing to push the boundaries to give Art a bit of the freedom he craved, but she wouldn't risk actually getting her head bitten off my the lead healer.

Today Gwynevere had finally given Artorias the all clear to move back to his room and begin slowly getting back to his usual routine - with the slowly heavily emphasized. Of course they had celebrated moving back into the privacy of his room right away, but after spending so much time inside they weren't going to miss the chance to get out and about even if it was just down the slope to the beach. It was later in the day now, the sun mostly set with just a faint glow of reds and purples from the horizon and the stars and moon steadily becoming more visible. She had been down to this beach before, but not at night.

As their paws reached the sand and she shifted her turquoise gaze away from Artorias her eyes went wide as she looked out at the ocean. All along the shore line the water was glowing and glimmering as the incoming darkness settled in and revealed the unique effect the beach possessed. "Wow...." she breathed as she walked over to where the waves were lapping at the shore, grinning as she let the water wash over her paws and watched as the green blue glow of it formed around her forelegs, her tail wagging happily as she looked back over her shoulder at Art with a wide grin.
