Stavanger Bay speckled and sepia

The shell certainly isn’t without damage. It is mostly whole with a few scratches on top and one little crack Qilaq hasn’t even noticed. However, when Rannoch turns around and greets her, she steps over her gift to close the distance. She has the urge to reach up and bump his nose but she pulls herself back when she gets too close. Her tail waves back and forth, brushing against the backs of her legs, and she turns all the way back around. Qilaq scoops up the shell and spins back, dropping it closer and nudges it with her nose.
