For the reservations she had possessed coming to the Obsidian Beach, Gale thought she was settling in really well. She might still have held a soft spot in her somewhere for the rises and steep faces of the volcanic mountain where they had originally stopped in their journey, but there was still something invigorating about this piece of shoreline. The skies were unobstructed by trees or other peaks, empty and wide and breathtaking, and there was nothing to stop the brisk coastal winds that rolled in off the water. They might not have been as strong as those that had buffeted against the mountain, but they were certainly more consistent.
It set her in good spirits as she padded down along the beach, enjoying the warmth of the sun combined with the coolness of the wind. It brushed roughly through her grey and lavender fur as she moved, tugging at the more flighty ends of it but she was not at all bothered with a windswept look. In fact, she rather preferred it to being tidy and well kept. There was an easy smile on her face as she moved leisurely along, her grey-green eyes lazily shifting about until they caught the electric yellow of her elder brother.
She smiled a little more at the sight of him, wondering immediately if he was happy with their choice in new locations over all now that it was all finalized. Or at least until she noticed how still he was. Her smile slid slowly from her face as a small furrow showed between her brows, a touch of unabashed concern stealing across her expression. This was not the usual Voltage she was used to, nor was it the kind that she had grown to expect. Something must have been up. Carefully she eased her expression back into its easy, carefree smile, hurrying just a little faster as she padded over to the rock her brother sat upon. "What's up, Flash?" she greeted, hoping to draw him from his reverie and back into the present with her. There was no follow up comment to tease or prod further; in her concern, she chose to be a little more straightforward instead.
