I Just Gotta Know

Life was on a roll. A really quick roll. Between the changes of paw, to moving, to new siblings, to the potential future of leaving all of it behind, Scald felt... apprehensive. What did he want in life? Did he want to settle down or keep going? Was it adventure he sought after? Or did his young bones already feel old and creaky? Unsure if he would ever be sure, Scald pushed off from the isle toward the archipelago in one of the rickety rafts his father had procured. Teetering on the edge, nearly falling off, he safely it made to the larger of the archipelago's islands. Milling about were the usual flock of doves which ultimately did nothing for him. Besides, he was still feeling rather sour about not seeing Ely again. His hope to come across the midnight girl had nearly broken his pitiful heart.

Following the shore, until he could see the cluster of smaller islands a bit southwest of the main one, Scald began his journey away from the cold winds of Boreas toward the warmer waters of Auster. At least on this side of the archipelago, he wouldn't be freezing his butt off. While swimming wasn't one of his favorite pastimes, it was something he was proficient in. Something he was required to be proficient in. One might think his father wanted to live in the damn ocean at times. Near exhausted and ready to touch the land, Scald was thankful once he felt sand beneath his paws. Pushing through the tide as it tugged and pulled at his legs, he made his way up onto the beach.

The small island seemed all but deserted when the wafting breeze carried a feminine scent to his nose. One of his brows pulled up in a curious manner as he began to stroll toward the stranger. Unlike most packs, his father left the archipelago open to anyone who needed or wanted to explore. There were too many islands to put out patrols anyway so it made sense. While Scald wouldn't be protective of his pack's terrain, he would still be cautious as he spotted the white and brown hues of the girl sitting in the water. Strange, but he had seen stranger.

"Y'know the water will easily pull ya in, right?" Scald teases as he closes the distance between them. His heterochromatic eyes scan over her frame and he's not disappointed in what he sees. Smiling in a friendly and almost flirtatious manner, he stops a few feet away from her when his toes begin to feel the water as it rolls in. "Would be a shame if somethin' as cute as you ended up drownin'," his smile grows as he waits for her to reply.
