Cerulean Cape You were just new in love, he was defenseless

Etienne was a little further along the coast this week. Golden eyes on the ocean in all it's glory. He was enjoying the views and the smell. It twisted and turned all around him and he couldn't quite hide the smile that lit up his face.

A tilt of an ear to hear the braying of the sea creatures. Just a few feet away a dolphin crested and leapt. A small gasp of delight left him. He wagged his tail in happiness.

He settled a few feet away and curled his tail around his paws. Digging them into the sand, shifting beneath his feet.

The dolphin had caught Fable's eye, too. The beauties of the beach were lost on him — it was just like a million other beaches, wasn't it? — but a dolphin wasn't something you saw every day. So he stopped to watch, not even noticing the man who had also stopped.

Until he did. Hey - you see that too? Fable called out, ears pulling forward as his tail swished through the sand. He didn't rise from his sit just yet, though — in case dude was a buzzkill.

The man may not have noticed Eti at first, but Etienne noticed him. Colored in Autumn leaves and sandy brine. There was an otherworld grace to him. Etienne was focused back on the dolphins a faint smile.

Ears tweaked forward at teh call out. Golden gaze landed on masked face. A tilt of downy head and a small dip of acknowledgement.

I did see dat. I be Eti.
