The feline's body sat on autopilot, planting itself into the sand of the beach. Tabitha stood guard in front of him, keen eyes and ears growing alert with the sound of something approaching. Shininglight tore his eyes away from the stones, noticing the arrival of a black-spotted feline. He was blunt and crude in greeting, and the winged tom made a subtle face of sorts, like the raising of an eyebrow. "Traveler. Visitor. Need rest." Shining continued speaking in a broken, odd manner. Forming complete sentences seemed to be a challenge.
A German shepherd. He knew of only one- or at least one that still lingered in the mist of his memory. But the smell on this particular one... Shining's perked up. They were familiar, weren't they? Not by sight, but by smell. Something lingered on the canine. A hint of... danger. He couldn't pinpoint the exact reason for it. And unfortunately, he didn't have to time to think about it. The silent shaking of the earth in a rhythmic pattern caught his attention, and a shadow fell over the feline when Lucifer arrived.
This one he could not forget. A relationship formed months ago, still fresh in the mind. He craned his neck up to look the void dragon in the face. "You okay? The fighting earlier. Didn't... get to stay." Shining had fled from the battle (one that the Typhoon carried out themselves), after witnessing a rather gruesome murder before his eyes. Not a pleasant sight nor feeling. But knowing the creature in question, they didn't stay dead too long.
In fact, they were alive today. And had appeared in front of him, as the last to arrive. Tabitha had braced a bit, but Luca stopped quite a distance away, instead of invading personal space like normal. Yes, Shining was starting to remember now. The behaviorism of the succubus. "Luca." Something didn't feel right about that name. Like it should have been something else. But he went with it. "Sorry. Ran away. Left you there." Shining dug his claws into the sand. "Powerless."
