The male stopped where he stood, staring at the bits of shell strewn across the wet ground, shuffled to and fro by the low tides. He was unaware of the youth that was watching, at least until he heard the faintest of sounds. Black painted ears tipped back, alerting him to a presence. Drake turning around to face the stranger, wary until he noticed how young the male looked. He seemed to be around the age of his little sister Skyla, no more then just a boy. Drake himself, only a year older. Aqua gaze looked over the youth, he seemed healthy, strong...a mischievous glint in his eye. Turning to face him, he padded towards the boy. "Hello mate, I've not seen you around before."
The black and white male pushed away the bad thoughts, aqua gaze quickly shielding the sadness, though not all of if could be hidden. Was this lad new here? He had never seen him before...at least, not around these parts. He wondered. A small smile found its way onto his face, his tail wagging slightly as he wondered who the young boy was.
Drake was focused on the bloke in front of him, unaware of the girl hiding away with her eyes upon them.
