they traveled along the flats, two thin creatures under the feeble pall of moonlight. he queried on their direction in a flat tone (one she would have inquired after, were she a wolf that cared for other's mood swings) and she answered with a simple cant of her head in the direction of the exposed rocks. wordlessly she pulled through kelp and stone, a seaborn thing that knew which stone to overturn and which rock to pass -- she shared this knowledge with her companion by cant of ear or muzzle.

the pair worked under the night cover in quiet, ate to their fill, and then retired to the sound's dark grotto.
