Sequoia Coast When the past catches up to you

@Thistle Cloud

What... was this?
The air smelled so different. So fresh, crisp-- it electrified him. The breeze was warm and sharp. Salty. The horizon went on forever; once the land ended, the water engulfed it and then there was nothing but water as far as the eye could see. Waves continuously lapped at the sandy shores and the sound of them was the most soothing thing he'd heard of late.
Leon was already so comfortable here. He loved this place. What was it? He'd never been to a territory like this before! Not in all his four years of life. He'd been missing out on this his whole life. That was an awful sin, but fate had brought him to Teekon Wilds and now he could find himself a home and get to live here. Then he could come to this place often. Every day if there was pack close enough! Surely there was. Who would pass up this view? The sights, the sounds, the smellls. Everything about this place caused the dark wolf to relax completely.
He'd ended up walking along the shores for about an hour, standing near enough to the water that every wave washed over his large paws before retreating. Then he simply walked in the water to where his paws were always covered but his belly stayed dry. His ears were limpy hanging to the sides, bouncing up and down with every step the lithe brute took. His stride was a lazy meander; everything about him said he was a content, relaxed fellow.
So much so, the Hughes man almost ended up missing potential company! That would've been a tragedy. He sure felt like sharing the scenery and this good mood with someone else. With a casual, confident smirksmile on his long muzzle he moved toward the small amber-colored female. His curly tail wagged relaxedly above his rump and a gruff but friendly "woof" sounded from him as he approached.
"Beautiful place, huh?" he asked with a cheesy grin. "I never seen a place like this in m'entire life. What is it?"
