Hop on... uncle Charlie!

((Ooc: Leaving this vague~))

Paws had led Charlie back to the beach as the sun creeped towards its zenith in the sky. Warm rays cascaded down onto his back, bringing with it the sort of heat that he would expect from summer months. The season was just around the corner, after all. Despite how sleeping here had reminded Charlie of the flood, he found the memories he had of the beach were more powerful than that. Good times… even a party here, once upon a time. Charlie glanced down at the cuffs around his front ankles, a small smile on his lips. Back when his family had almost been whole, back before they started drifting their own ways.

He thought of his siblings… how different each of their paths had seemed to be as he walked near the water. His tail flicked thoughtfully back and forth. Dread had gone off with Deluge… were they still together, he wondered? Deluge had been different from those in the Armada, but he had thought their interaction had been pleasant enough. Crux and Stratum had left after Kite, though not for the same reasons. Vanna had been missing for some time… it was just him and Andy left now. A mental note was made to check on his sister later. It had been too long since they last sat together.

He had other siblings here too to check on… and Wyl. Charlie drew in a breath and moved back inland, onto the dry sandy patch of beach before he laid down. He wanted to check on Ignita too. Surely she had her little ones by now? She had looked ready to pop when he had seen her last. But where should he begin with visits? Catching up? Charlie closed his eyes in thought, furrowing his brow as his tail flicked back and forth. “I need to see what projects are still by the forge too…” He mused.

Couldn’t he just have more time each day to do all the things?
