just... [looking] around [for someone]

[Dy]

My two-colored eyes stared over the beaches, feelings of lonesomeness washing over me like those waves did the beaches. I was desperate for someone else to talk to, whether it be just a bird or some other sort of creature-- desperate enough to go find a fish to talk to. Okay, maybe not a fish, because they wouldn't stay around to hear what I had to say anyway, they'd swim away as soon as I splashed into the water. Like, if I saw another human being they wouldn't know what hit them-- I'd be clinging and not letting go with a fiercesomeness that scared my friends and dad back home. Home... Well, this was home now, I supposed. I didn't want it to be but it was... That made me think of my dad, and that made me think of my friends, and all of that made me sad. Once I had finished tracing circles in the sand, I raised my knees to my chest and looked out over the sand once more. I was nothing more than what I had seen ten minutes ago-- sand, sand, and OH, what was that?? SAND. I sighed, wondering why I insisted on sitting here by the soothing ocean. Oh, that could be why; it was quiet, peaceful... Soothing to my already lonesome nerves. It practically talked to me with it endless, quit roar. It... made me want to sit here longer, and think, in the company of the ocean. So that was what I was going to do. Slipping my black-streaked platinum blond hair behind my ears, I crossed my arms on top of my knees, putting my chin on my forearms and staring out into the ocean now. It was awfully pretty. Sighing, one dark violet eye and one dark blue eye just kept on staring out into the endless, crashing ocean... Wishing, waiting, hoping for someone, something, to come and save me from this... endless loneliness. Quietly I hummed random songs until I drifted into silence, just staring and being quiet.

[Hikari]

A lithe form hugged the ground, amber orbs narrowed suspiciously. What was that strange, practically furless thing? The itch urged her forward, but the silhouette remained still; fighting the instinct to race up and examine the odd creature in a closer light. Odd sounds reached the vixen's auds, as she intently studied the thing; unconsciously creeping forward a step. The sounds coming out of it's mouth were strange, didn't this creature know how to properly growl or snarl? The scarce fur it had, was unnatural. How did the creature capture the sunlight and night to dye it's pelt? The wolf paused, hesitantly gazing at the unknown species. She sensed a something, almost like a pull, to the stranger. An odd sense of loneliness flooded her system, almost unbearable to the doe as she crept forward another step. Where was it's claws? The strange, pale, weak things upon the thing's paws surely weren't any help with hunting or fighting. How did it defend and feed itself? "What on Earth...?" The wolverine came to a halt ten yards away from the human, annoyance and curiosity plain in her irises. Fear. Why wasn't she running in the opposite direction? Hikari snorted, shaking her tiara slowly from side to side. She was being foolish, this thing could hunt her down; it was best to run. But running wasn't an option, it was never an option. Cautiously, the lupin tilted her cranium to a slight angle; staring shamelessly at her subject. This thing, it was hers somehow. The itch clawed at her brain as she started back, pelt struck roughly by the sun's heat. A creamy tan undercoat remained the base color of her pelt, streaked with black and brown all over her bodice; topped off by tiny white specks upon her carefully sculpted face. Fluffy fur puffed out all over her small, feminine frame; as her tail stilled fluffily behind her. Wild, feral orbs gazed coldly at the hairless thing; lips pulled back into a silent snarl. She was being ridiculous, this thing wasn't hers. It wasn't even a wolf, with it's soft, hairless, easily scratched skin. It couldn't be a pack mate, it didn't belong to her. She didn't want it to belong to her. But it did somehow. Warily, she took a step back; pain blossoming angrily in her skull. Whimpering, Hikari collapsed to the Earth, pawing desperately at her tiara.

I turned, hearing sand shifting quietly. As soon as my strangely colored eyes hit the other creature, I felt a sense of... family. Like I knew this... dog? No, wolf. Like I'd known them for a long time, like we... Shared something, like blood, or memories, or something. Shaking my head, hair ruffling some with the motion, I stared at the wolf curiously. What was a wolf doing here? Had this been the wolf's territory, was I tresspassing? If so, then I had better leave. As I got to my feet, I heard a high, faint noise. It sounded like my dog did when in pain, or when he was afraid. Turning back to the wolf, I noticed it was on the ground, whimpering. I gasped and practically flew to it's side, kneeling on the ground next to it, hands fluttering. Something warned me not to touch the wolf, so I just watched the wolf paw at it's head until a dull headache tapped on my forehead. Rubbing my temple briefly, I felt my head stop throbbing at the same time the wolf stopped whining. Scrambling back from it, my fingers itched to touch the wolf, but my head warned me to stay back. So I did. I moved back a few feet and sat down on the sand, staring at the wolf with my head turned to the side, ignoring my bangs falling into my eyes. I scratched my neck with my long, painted-black nails, before allowing my head to turn back straight. I continued staring at the wolf for lack of a better thing to do, since we couldn't exactly communicate. It'd be cool, but we couldn't, and the wolf didn't seem to like me much. Maybe if I had any food, I could share, but sadly, my supply had run out a few hours ago. Sighing, I continued staring, absently tracing random drawings into the sand with my fingertips.

[Hikari]

A thousand bullets shot through her tiara, a low humming noise further infuriating the pain vibrating through her skull. Another high pitched squeak escaped her lips as the pain increased by tenfolds; a fire rushing through her veins. Vaguely, Hikari noted a close presence as she thrashed upon the sand; the grainy Earth flying every which way. Bad. Everything hurt, not a single hair upon her tiara was left untouched. Struggling to her pads, the vixen cowered; instinct ordering her to remain still. Warily, she calmed as the pain receded; an odd ache in her cranium sinking slowly into her system as she steadily gazed at the ground. "Headache." Hikari noted wearily, tilting her crown to a slight angle as she pondered the new information with surprise. Where had that word come from? A low throb in the back of her skull destroyed her train of thought, as she stared at the thing, a new word dancing through her shattered thoughts. "Human." Shaking her head swiftly, Hikari attempted to ward off the odd thoughts; only to find herself thoroughly unsuccessful. A cold shiver ran down her spine as she watched the human girl carefully; waiting for her to make the first move. Slowly, Hikari sat down tensely; ready to pounce at the first move of aggression. Curiously, she watched the human draw odd shapes into the sand; wondering just what on Earth she was doing. Inching forward unconsciously, Hikari sat down again, a few feet closer to the human as she intently leaned in; focused on what Dylyn was doing. "What is that human doing? I wonder if all humans are so cryptic..." Hikari thought absently, picturing a twisting maze as a comparison.

[Dy]

Surprise glinted in my eyes as I slyly peered at the wolf. She had come closer. Wait, how'd I know the wolf was a she? Blinking away my confusion, I traced out my name in the sand, then wiped it away. I chuckled at a stray thought that had entered my head; something about humans being cryptic. Looking up from my drawing, my eyes sought out the wolf, but then I turned away just as my eyes hit her. Looking out over the sea, I sighed, thinking about everything-- but now I wasn't alone. Turning back to the wolf, I smiled. Why was I sad? I had company, regardless of whether they were staying out of curiosity or not. Too timid to reach out a hand to the wolf, I just smiled at it before moving, slowly and carefully, out of my sitting position. Laying down on my belly, I wondered what I was going to do if the wolf attacked me now. I would be defenseless, virtually. Propping my head up on my arms, I stared at the wolf, before taking a risk that it would run off and saying my first word to her; "Hello." My eyes widened at the thought that I might've just scared the wolf, my only companion right now, away. Talking had been a bad idea, I really needed a time machine... That way I could take it back, and just sit and stare, kind of awkwardly, at the wolf. Wait, no, talking might be a better thing-- keep the wolf interested in me, so she'd stay around longer. Somewhat cheered up now, I looked back over at the wolf, smiling more brightly, eyes a tad more lively. I wasn't sure if the wolf could understand me, but my body posture might clue her in-- I was happy she was here. I really wanted to talk to her more, or at least get her to come closer, but I wasn't about to take that step. I didn't want to take a chance again and possibly scare her away-- because then I, and maybe she, too, would be alone.

[Hikari]

The fem dipped her cranium slightly toward the ground, mottled tan hackles raised, and watched the alien creature with resentful, suspicious amber irises. This thing, alien creature, human, whatever, was the first she'd ever seen. And so far, Hikari wasn't impressed. At all. From her previous observations, this human couldn't hunt or defend itself; so how was it even alive? It didn't seem to have sharp teeth that predator's like herself possessed, but its teeth weren't completely flat like that of a plant-loving herbivore's. Its claws weren't tapered like her own, but instead, seemed fairly flimsy compared to the sharp, flesh-tearing daggers connected to her paws. From its position on the ground, Hikari would've bet half of the next prey she found that it didn't walk or run like her either. It... "she," Hikari corrected mentally, was a completely foreign life form to her scarce experience of the world. Her half empty stomach sank, like a sea horse hobbled to an eighty pound boulder in the darkest depths of the ocean. Why did she have a feeling that this human wasn't the only one of her kind? Without warning, the odd human made some kind of odd, unknown noise. The wolverine flinched, and barred her fangs in a silent snarl. Was this some kind of strange form of growling? "Chuckling. Amusement." Hikari's splitting headache provided unhelpfully, as it drilled previously unknown words into her pained, overloading mind. "If it's not aggression, then what is this strange thing doing?" The she-wolf wondered irritably, bewildered by the foreign concept of "amusement." A wolf's life was fairly straight forward: be born, fight over the best nursing spot, learn to hunt, grow up, find a mate, get knocked up, have a pup, raise the pup, have more pups, raise those pups, die, and repeat. Things such as "amusement" and... "drawing?" weren't written into the greater plans of the life of a wolf way back in the day, when the first two wolves were invented, created, born, whatever happened. Hikari mused, pinning her auds straight back to her tiara as the human-thing dared to move. The lupin watched unamused while the girl settled and seemed to get comfortable, in an odd position Hikari personally wouldn't have dared to try, for fear of breaking something or getting stuck. A soft growl rose up in her throat, and then was stifled as the human girl made the oddest sound yet. Curiously, the she-wolf cocked her head, and stared. "Hello?" Hikari sat stock-still, simply watching the human's body language as it became more relaxed and reassuring. Was it stupid? Laying like that was a sure way to get gutted or dominated; and either option wasn't desirable to the mottled tan vixen. "Humans aren't just strange, they're stupid too." The bitter fae snorted waspishly, ignorant to the unique lifestyle of mankind.

I glanced over at the wolf, lazing, but when a voice spoke about humanity's stupidity, I snapped to defense. "Who do you think you are, to diss your own species like that! Humanity isn't stupid-- well, some of it, and strangeness is everyone's forte! You're strange to me and I'm strange to you! That's life, you jerk!" I growled, sitting stock straight up and looking for the offender. Seeing no one but the wolf, I mumbled in my head, What a coward! Not even showing thier face... I'd pummel 'em anyway. Getting to my feet and crossing my arms, I started walking down the beach. Not a good idea to turn my back on the wolf, but I was ticked.

(sorry it's short and sucks!)
