Cerulean Cape serenity

She had anticipated that she would be alone. Water lapped at pale paws and she turned her gaze from the ocean to down the cape, watching as earthen wolf strolled down the length of the beach. A small bark left his jaws to announce his arrival and Elektra lifted her head, eyes narrowing for a moment as she studied his form, his identity settling in as his details began to form, and she wagged her tail in greeting. 

"How is the day treating you?" she asked, opting for pleasantries instead of the hoard of questions that she had for the man who had come with her on the search party. She had not seen him since the quakes, but the memory was still to painful to speak, the fear and panic still fresh.
