From This Moment, Forever I Can Hope.

The Carpathius girl lingered in the same spot for quite a while, toes flexing into the powderd sand beneath her paws as she absently stared- searching the opposite coastline in the distance for anything of interest. What she was specifically looking for, she wasn't entirely sure- though she had half expected one of her siblings or packmates to be in pursuit. The newness of her yearling status hadn't quite worn off yet, and the newfound trust was really nice. Still, there wasn't any indication that she had someone tailing her- and she finally looked away as she heard the screaming cry of a circling gull overhead. Tilting her head back, she turned her gaze to the sky, greeting the sunshine with a pleasant grin as watched the seabird venturing to another part of the island. Deciding that she would follow suit, Talyssa pressed forward in her own exploration- moving at a casual pace to avoid kicking up too much sand ... she hated how the grit clung to her still dripping fur.  Even still, she'd stick to the beach for now, with a vague plan of walking its perimeter entirely before she'd begin to consider making her way inland.

She hadn't been walking for very long before something caught her attention in the distance. At the edge of the tide, she noticed a flash of seemingly disoriented movement. The feminine frame of a disheveled castaway. Ears perking up, Talyssa picked up her pace a bit- still too far away for her voice to be heard over the roar of the ocean. As the other girl struggled to her paws, it seemed that she didn't have the energy to remain standing, eventually falling back to her haunches as she too was lost in thought over the horizon. When she felt that she was close enough to be heard, Talyssa called out. "Hey! Are you okay!?" She asked with the polite concern she'd offer any stranger. They were a long way from Hearthstone, but if she needed to go get help, she certainly would.
