Sea Lion Shores horse to water

tagging @Wilhelm since he'd be traveling with her. If we could forward date this a bit? She hasn't quite healed from what transpired physically enough yet to travel very far.

She'd come to accept what had been done to her by this point. There wasn't any changing it or making it go away like she used to pray for. She couldn't wrap her mind around it quite yet though, the blatant fact that true evil did exist had shocked her to the very core.

She kept close to Wirt, walking so close to him that her flanks nearly pressed to his as they moved. Her rosebud eyes flicked to and fro warily as did her ears, always alert and searching for something that might jump out at her. Then she smelled it. The salty,Sandy smell of the coast that she remembered from when she first entered these parts. It was the first thing since then that brought a hint of a genuine smile to her maw and before she could stop herself she took off running until her paws hit the sand. As soon as she stood upon the sand, she flexed her paws in and out of the substance like a cat kneading a soft surface for comfort. inhaled the scent of the sea again her features relaxing along with her body. This...was a place she could stay for quite some time.

And that's when she noticed them. Two large brown shapes moving upon the sand in weird ways. She cocked her head to the side and studied them for a few moments. They looked like they had a ton of meat on them, too much for just her and wirt but maybe if she dragged the carcass away someone else would find it and be able to eat it. Turning around she backtracked her steps and looked for Wilhelm, chuffing to him so he'd be able to find her.

Returning to the shore she crouched down and circled around the animals, finally spotting the strange male that also seemed to be hunting these odd beasts. Sharply inhaling she felt her hackles rise along her spine. Would he hurt her? please don't hurt me...please don't hurt me... she pleaded in her mind, praying that wirt would be there soon. She gave a low noise, a plaintive whimper loud enough for the white brute to hear. If he turned his head he'd see her crouching into the sand, tail nervously tucked and wiggling between her legs.


The prospect of food was too much for her though. She hadnt had a good meal like this offered in a very long time and so she raised herself up.  She motioned to the seals, trying to gain the white stranger's attention without speaking so she wouldn't alert the prey. Motioning to them again she mouthed the words "I'll help" and circled around the opposite side so she'd be attacking from the back. Still though she kept her eyes on the stranger in case he made any threatening moves, if he warned her off she'd take the hint and bolt immediately.
