Sea Lion Shores Gimme three steps

I've been wanting to do this for a while and couldn't resist. It's too good. For anyone from Stavanger Bay, here's a white-eyed man XD should you wish to jump to conclusions. If not that's fine too though <3 he hasn't met anyone from that particular pack yet besides Julooke

The ocean held no particular draw for Dante, having come from a warm, southern land, but as he was feeling particularly adventurous of late (a surprise even to himself) he had decided to mosey on out that direction. He felt a bit guilty leaving the Plateau for the length of time such a journey would take, but he wished to get his wanderlust out while he had the chance. This would do him for a time.

Powerful waves lapped at his feet as he stood in the sand, barking of sea lions resounding in his ears from the distant colonies. He had no desire to hunt one, though they looked to be quite a meal. He would have no way to get the meat back home nor could he probably take one himself in spite of his large size. He knew his limits. He did enjoy observing them, though, for he had never seen the like. Unbidden came into his mind a conversation that seemed long ago, that kind girl who had tried (unsuccessfully) to teach him to fish. A promise had been made of crabbing that was yet unkept, and he wondered how she fared. He had met many as a loner before settling down, the one thing he missed about being without responsibilities. These trips took him far too long to be made frequently.
