Cerulean Cape fire meet gasoline

@Huā - set for 4/26 but let me know if the date needs changed!

how long had it been since they'd left the forest? he tipped his chin upwards to glance at the mid-morning sun, golden eyes narrowing at the overwhelming light. the days and nights had muddled together, though he assumed it had been near a week since the pair of them had left the taiga. he wanted to stop, to rest again, but they were so close that he could practically taste the sea salt on his lips.

an hour later and they'd made it within howling distance. he stopped and turned to face @Ying, a gladdened smile tugging at the corner of his lips as tapped the spot next him with his paw. "you should rest", he let out with a brief sway of his tail before he spun on his heels to glance back out to the island in the distance. the tide would be at it's lowest any minute now, and after all that walking they'd done, he figured someone from her home could make the short trip to come and meet them.

and so, after a moment to consider who he should call for, astaroth tipped his chin back and sent up a howl for the sisters she'd briefly mentioned before their trip to the volcano.
