he was newly here himself, but the scent of his family drew vinicius marin from his home, still properly being sorted. paws taking the ground in quick strides and puffs of air, the sea wolf cross came to rene's placement, his eyes shining for the first time in ages. "cousin!" he called out joyously,  tail wagging behind him.

not such a quiet affair if family was near, as had been discovered. standing at the entrance of the other hybrid's den, he whined softly in his throat, tail swaying now, "rene ... it's been so very long, my cousin. do i have your permission to enter?"

a purring rumble left the hybrid as he moved inside the shack, blinking until his eyes had adjusted, "you've traveled far, I assume?" he murmured, looking around the shack curiously, sniffing the air, "did you come alone?" he asked softly, looking around for destarion or rene's child with the wolf. he knew he wouldn't leave the youth willingly ... much like vic himself with sunday and their litter.

easing himself down onto the ground, the mix yawned, "we ought to go hunting, get you some furs and pelts." he murmured softly, licking his chops.

giving a crooked grin and wave of his tail, he barked, "worry not, rene. cossette and quennel will correct each other on their paths here. together i hope they travel for rumor of stray gods burden the air. and of the brute? where is he?" he questioned before looking about the shack with a rolling laugh.

"you'll be eating sand, drinking sand, sleeping with sand and even sharting sand, my cousin. sand is both your worst friend and best enemy." he guffawed, pawing at his own muzzle in humor. "palm fronds are our best bets to clear it out. You want to find some while i unearth the floor? We'll have to make you a door as well."

a look of pride crossed his face, similarily puffing out his chest, sniffing haughtily before bursting into laughter at his own behaviour,  "If I'm not too careful, Rene, I'llgo back to being a snobby noble and you'll have to beat it from me. I'm near certain that you'll be able to find or create a storage system."

laughing, he grinned, "why don't you trade in elysium for a basket? I'm sure i can weave a temporary basket from fronds." he murmured as he got up and trotted out to find the items he wanted. returning with burdened jaws, he set to work on weaving a basket with deft paws, despite his claws catching and ear falling into his eyes. "not a pirate? not even the years spent on all the galleys?" he teased warmly.

laughing gently, he grinned at rene, tail wagging softly behind him as he worked, "have you heard any songs in your travel? you may have worked upon the galleys, aye, even if you didn't drop to our lowly rank of battle-mongers, but you had the best voice any of us had ever heard.", he hummed, winking at rene.

"aye, ive got Sunday now." he murmured gently, eyes sparkling, joy sparking through him at the mention of his partner before it dulled, remembering that destarion was still missing.
