Dragoncrest Cliffs Upon the seas

Etienne found solace in the silence that was away from his family. Though he loved them, gods he loved them so much it hurt. Sometimes, they were too loud, their emotions to many, and it jumbled and confused him. He wanted to make sure everyone was happy, but he could feel Mireille's stress at something, Sobo's quiet steady anger, the despair that lay heavy like a blanket on Njord at the best of times. He could feel this, and it bothered the boy. So he sought a place to just exist. Where the vibrations that filled the ground beneath him was nothing more than Prey and silt.

@Rhaegal he thought on the new man that had made his home in their shores, and the other one. The wolf that Suzu had brought into the fold, the Rykor. He didn't know how he felt about others who were not family making their home here, but he supposed it was to be expected. Njord and Meerkat were not technically family. But they were to him.
