-------Youth. Physical youth was eternal for a being like Cyprian. True youth, the kind you felt in your soul, only happened once for most. It was easily squandered, and often, due to it's nature. It was difficult not to break, in the end it always does.
-------Some people still held on, though. Even through the hurt. Cyprian was no such person. He was could be reckless, sure, but never could he feel as free as he had in his true youth. Ignorant to the world around him, the world ignorant of him.
-------Watching Pochi throw about a shell on the beach Cyprian pondered his own youth. He'd been the center of his parent's world. He wondered if it had been the same for the little one. If they'd been abandoned or beset with tragic circumstances from an adoring family. The same could be asked of most of the crew, a group of misfits bound together by some need for companionship or survival.
-------Cyprian amusedly watched as Vinicius approached the feline, bowing in the canine's traditional way of inviting play. Seems the pup had youth in him yet.
