Ankyra Sound Home is only a stones throw

"Etienne! You were gone so long!" She protested with a light whine, though the wave of her bushy tail conveyed the relief which still flowed through her. "Come! Let's get you home, Maman will be so relieved to know you are not lost anymore!" She said, giving him a gentle nudge. 

Her heart fluttered; part of her had dreaded never finding him, and another part of her still dreaded that when he was found, he might be reluctant to return. She added a cheery smile, though her insecurity likely showed in the fleeting flicks of her eyes from Etienne, and back up the shore again, trying to lead him with her gaze. "We will 'ave a good feed of fish, an' de little ones will be so pleased to see you, Eti! It will be time for deir own pearl ceremony soon, I t'ink!" She would throw out every bit of bait she had, to lure him back home.
