Ankyra Sound A long way from home

Cerne was back at the sound, gathering more shells, as some of his other ones had fractured. He had some beautiful, iridescent shells tucked away when he saw, in the distance, a small figure fighting to get to shore. Cerne began to lope at once towards the stranger, and he heard their voice call out before he arrived.

Chuffing in greeting, the larger male replied, "I saw you coming towards the shore, and came as fast as I could. I am Cerne — are you injured?" He was no medic, but he knew of the coastal wolves quite close by — if the male required assistance, Cerne would see to it that he got it.
