Gilded Bay saints and ghosts

For any Nereides members! Tag for visibility. Also, @Leiagore. I apologize this post is all over the place.

Unable to locate her companion, Florence begins her trek back to search for Meteora and the others. She knows they have not gone far, with their scents still fresh in the area, but Florence often makes the habit of drifting back and forth. And now, with the misplaced @Mnemosyne, she’s less inclined to return to her new leader without the woman’s half-sister in tow. Uncertain how they’d gotten separated to begin with, she knows she needs to take responsibility for her actions.

Florence finds her way to the bay with the scent of a pack on the wind. The thought alone makes her stomach turn and she worries about where Meteora and the others have gone. Not far, she hopes, and she doubts they’d move too far without her but the anxiety settles in her chest anyway. When she comes upon the pools of the bay early in the morning, low tide finally away from the shores, Florence finds herself temporarily distracted and with a hunger in her belly. She noses through each one, soaking her limbs and part of her fur despite how cold the water is, and keeps herself moving until she’s settled the grumble in her stomach.
