Dragoncrest Cliffs This sadness it comes in waves

Etienne had moved on with his life. He missed the family he had lost, like a constant dull ache, but his manman missed them more. So he had determined, that he would push on. He'd get through the heartache, because other's needed to grieve harder. Would he think of them fondly, oh always. But for now. He was making himself useful. A hug when other's felt like crying. Medicine and healing and movements.

He was no fool, he also knew that he was a man. And Men were not thought of as kindly in Sapphique even if they were born to it. It was the way of things. Oh his family loved him, but he would never be as important as Suzu. So he simply worked hard to carve out a place that was just for him. To listen to the more sophisticated gender and do what was needed when it was needed.

Sandy swept paws, moved through the grains of sand. As he searched for seaweed and treasures that the sea would give them. It was near her, that he felt the most calm. The loud vibrations from the ocean were not hard on his mind and ears or his body. No they were more calming than the vibrations he felt from the earth, from his family. Ears twitched and turned and he stopped a brief moment to look out over the sea, a bundle of different colored seaweed at his feet, mindful of the red ones that could hurt.
