Six months. Six months since he was born in to the world of ice, stone, and heartbreak. He was larger now - not quite full size, but very much larger - and his heart, having grown at double the rate of the rest, was heavy with everything that he missed. But Larus tried to move on. He had a new mother, a new home. Maybe one day Caiaphas would find his sisters and his beloved brother - he had hope. It was enough most days.
But today was.. Different. He couldn't fathom what made today different, but it was. Maybe the dark clouds which loomed so far from the coast made him nervous. Maybe it was the constant layer of sand which had weeded its way in to his coat, and the brine scent which replaced the pine that once hung around him like a veil. The boy was sitting on the beach and allowing the cold to seep in to his body; he wasn't whining, which was new. He wasn't hiding away from the rest of the world and crying, grieving for what he had lost.
Larus was just... Sitting. Watching the ocean that was just out of reach.
