all washed up

The pair of them were in the same state, soaked through and covered with sand like they had just washed up onto the beach. He felt a huge relief knowing she was alright, he couldn’t remember anything but he knew he wanted her to be safe. She was special and that was an innate instinct already developed in his short life.

She accepted the offer of help to her paws, being much smarter than him while she lifted herself slowly and carefully. Shaye stood with him, looking a little more unsteady than he felt, but they were both returning to equilibrium. She didn’t remember anything else either, but her observations were the same conclusion he was coming to. They had to be important to one another.

”I already know you better than I know myself.” He offered with a chuckle despite the turmoil that lay before them. ”I’m certain it is no coincidence we’ve woken here together.” He looked into her eyes, so familiar, and yet his memories were empty. ”We should get clean and dry before we catch a chill.”
