He didn't like the humidity or the sand, or the way that he could feel people's eyes on him as he moved. His body glided close to the ground as he walked in an effort to make himself look smaller, but it didn't seem to help the whispers and sideways glances he'd receive. It was odd knowing that he'd had a life here before, months of memories gone down the drain. Sometimes familiar images or words would flirt with the edges of his conscious mind, but they never quite came within reach. It was undeniable that this was the place though, as obvious as the tang of salt in the air as it brushed against his tongue.

An unfamiliar sound rose above the crashing of waves against shore and broke him from his thoughts. His tongue ran quickly across his lips, brow crinkling in thought. He came across something new every day of living on this island, and rarely was it worth checking out. Still, he had nothing better to do, he supposed. He rolled his shoulders in a halfhearted stretch and altered his course, honing in on the source of the noise with those handy enhanced senses of his. It didn't take long for him to close in, like usual, and soon he was blinking at the collapsed form of an animal he couldn't quite recognise. He squinted, but when his brain couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer, he merely shrugged and moved closer, bringing his face down to the creature's neck. His fangs weren't long enough to pierce through arteries, but if he was going to take this think home he wanted to make sure they stayed down. He opened his mouth, and then lunged forwards, closing his teeth swiftly around the wooly form beneath him.
