Gilded Bay Oceanside Reservation

Rather than heading straight towards Stavanger Bay, Floki veered wide around Donnelaith's borders, moving westward. This brought him to an inlet that, in some ways, resembled his former home. Of course, it had its differences, but he paused with the afternoon sun on his shoulders as he breathed deep the frigid air.

His attention was drawn by a tidepool at his feet, its depths brimming with sealife. The little crustaceans were not the only creatures in the vicinity, however -- he soon became aware of the presence of another wolf, similarly examining one of the curious puddles. Floki's gaze was drawn to her small, dark form, and he watched with the hint of a smile as she warily crept to the edge of a tidepool.
