Wheeling Gull Isle maybe when the coast is clear

Just like Moorhen, Komodo had not been that far from the strand when the roving trio came onto the island’s sandy stage.  Had Komodo been as worried as the other’s about Coelacanth’s unceremonious disappearance? No, but it was only he who knew it was not as unceremonious and uncalled for as Moorhen and Stockholm might have believed. He was loathe to tell the rest of the pack of the calamity that transpired within the caverns, of the yelling and the tension; no, that would not bode well for the earthstalker, so he calmly let them go on believing she had simply vanished — but inside, he blamed himself for her exodus. A woman who didn’t like to be verbally accosted? Go figure.

The mottled medicine man hung out by the shores, mentally fatigued and eager for a distraction. It was almost as if he was expecting to see her arrive back at any moment — and though the sheepdog was very, very clear about her expectations for their friendship, there was a small part that hoped to see her trotting back to him, very sorry for how she had treated him and ready to make amends and babies. Days and nights came to pass and when the aralez did finally return, not only did that not happen — but she was accompanied by others. 

The older man he vaguely recognized. If Komodo thought deep and hard about it, he would remember him from the Hunter’s Moon, but at the moment he and the little, tailless creature were classified only as Seelie’s Friends. With a deep and cleansing breath, Komodo painted a cordial expression upon his austere visage and strode forward to greet them. He was silent until he had approached them fully, rather than calling down the beach as he was wont to do. “Big ears,” he acknowledged in a not unfriendly manner, dipping his crown towards her in particular and pretending the thick miasma of heat scent was simply. not. there.

“Ah din’ know company’d be here,” he charmed, lifting his gaze to consider the man who matched him in age and to glimpse the girl at his withers. “Ah’might ‘uh cleaned the place up’a bit.”
