The pack he had once looked after had seemed to have dispersed since his absence. The only ones who had really remained were his immediate family and Vi. He wasn't sure where Tidus, Hansel, Jack, Byakuro or any of the others of his pack had gone. But one particular name weighed heavily on his mind; Newt. Where had the giantess gone off to? The last time he had seen her, she'd been about to battle the smaller dark woman whose name escaped him. But since then he couldn't remember seeing her around. Had she found somewhere else to live? Had something befallen the woman? He had considered the giantess to be a friend to him, since she had helped him during his reign of Tortuga. It saddened him not to have any news from her or even know how she was doing. Would he ever see her again?
Restless as usual, the cobalt titan was up and about, wandering the edges of the beach, following his usual patrol. The waves crashed noisily to his left, a soothing kind of melody that he had become accustomed to. Living on the island had become such a paradise that he wasn't sure if he would want to move back to the mainland. It was so beautiful here by themselves, but at the same the pups needs to be exposed to the rest of the world. He couldn't keep them here forever. Ebony paws would sink into the sand with each step, the grains slipping through his toes as he moved along at an easy pace, ears and nose alert for any signs. Though the salty air was strong, it wasn't strong enough to disguise a scent he thought he'd never come across again; Newt. Newt was on the island? Taurig would come to a standstill, velvety nostrils quivering as he tasted the salted air. Her scent really was there. How on earth had she gotten here?
Curiosity and disbelief stirred the gargantuan forward, limbs pulling him towards the scent of Newt, milky eyes blindly searching for the strongest point of her scent. Newt?! He would bark, hoping that she would recognize him and call to him. If she was really back she had to meet his family, she had to know that he had made a life for himself beyond Tortuga.
