Coconut Grove We were staying in Paris.

Tags for reference, no need to reply here.  :D  thread is AW!

It'd been a long time since Viinturuth had left Triquetra, and even longer since they'd departed their previous stomping grounds. The ghost picked his way across the pale sands without even recognising what'd once been a home to him. Coconut Grove did not hold any real meaning to him, no place truly had, for it'd been just as fleeting as all the others.

His return to the Teekon was not for his own benefit. He came to sate his mother's curiosity, with the intention of checking in on his brother and his family. Viinturuth had tried to be a good role-model for @Akavir's daughters - his own nieces - but he'd failed them by falling hard and fast for their mother. When @Lilitu and @Arielle were only a month or so old, he removed themselves from their lives to protect not only his brother, but his own heart.

He'd regretted it every single day since.

@Ibis was the most glorious wolfess he'd ever laid eyes upon, and he was nervous at the idea of seeing her again. She'd surely given Akavir another litter and that left an unpleasant taste in his mouth, but he swallowed it and carried on toward the distant mountains where he assumed his brother's perfect family still made their home.

Waves lapped gently at the wanderer's paws as he veered toward the darker area of the strand where earth met sea. He could taste salt water in the air and an alabaster lobe swivelled atop his head at the caw of a seagull that soared above.
