Gilded Bay your body in electric blue

i agree, govinda said pleasantly, eyes drifting over the clouds. though i quite like the sand, too. feels nice on the paws, except when it gets too hot. he twisted his toe into the beach in absent-minded fashion, then turned to her again, nodding at her origin story. it sounded ever-so familiar, and he couldn't resist a smile.

pretty much the same, he chuckled. born far from here, somehow made it here. though you did it faster than me, govinda added with a grin. half a year. . .it took me my entire life to make my way north. had it been worth it? he often wondered whether he would do it all over again differently, given the chance. some days, he would have leapt at the opportunity.

he dipped his muzzle down the beach, toward the palms. i live close by now, in a grove, govinda explained. i come here often though, for the scenery more than anything else. and, evidently, the company wasn't too bad, either. he had met many kind souls here.
