Cerulean Cape You can play with me until you’re sick of me

The sea had captivated him the first time he’d seen it, but he had known what to expect this time around—sort of. It was only his second time having ever visited the coast, and so there were still certain aspects of it that amazed him, but the sea itself hadn’t made as great of an impact. He hadn’t known that it was Ocra’s first time actually seeing the ocean, and so he’d frowned when she hadn’t responded right away. Ever the impatient type, he’d opened his mouth to repeat his question, but was stopped before anything could come out. She hadn’t hunted crabs before, which was pretty disappointing. They had a nice taste, but he’d already discovered that catching them wasn’t easy, so he’d been hoping that she would have had some sort of experience.

Alexander opened his mouth again to say something along the lines of how it sucked that she couldn’t hunt them, but every word planned had needed to be changed thanks to their new guest. He didn’t know her name, nor had he thought to ask back when they’d first met, but he could recognize her effortlessly. The fact that she was there whilst he wasn’t alone had surprised him, and the yearling started to look between the two other wolves before his ears fell back. She wouldn’t say anything, right? Xan could remember having told her not to mention what they’d done to anyone, but couldn’t say that he knew her well enough to be sure that she’d listen. Unsure of what to say next, he began by blurting out, “Yeah, Ocra, that’s a crab. They taste good—you'd like them.” He looked at his pack mate, wondering how she would respond, before turning his attention back towards Maude. “I didn’t expect to find you here,” he admitted, almost as if stumbling across the coastal wolf was some forbidden thing. The Inuk swallowed before reluctantly tearing his gaze away from her form, deciding to look elsewhere as he spoke. “What are you doing here?” Hunting for more than just one crab, he hoped, though he knew he couldn’t properly, uh… trade for any at the moment.
