Stavanger Bay (fall in, fall out, fall along)

The girl is jerked away suddenly. A quick breath of air sucking into her lungs as if her body had forgotten how to breathe and is only just now remembering. She scrunches up her eyes and buries her muzzle between her paws as reality courses back through her veins. "Amayo, amayo, amayo," she mumbles into the dirt like some kind of reminder. They muffled to her own ears but the words formed upon her lips comfort all the same. It takes a moment for her to move again, lifting her head to her sleeping parents as their even breathing remains in tune and lull her into a calm.  

Carefully and quietly, Qilaq shuffles to her feet and lazily slips from the den. She doesn't remain standing for long as she droops, legs flopping into place in a curve of sand that is—most of the time—Qilaq-sized. It is there she rests for the last hours of the night to turn into morning.
