Known though brief his experience, observed those that raged above turbulent waves. Despised in many ways, fine his coat, chill deep as the droplet fell and collected on those fine strands. Silent his watch from the mouth of den, empty and hollow, his occupation not singular only for the presence of Onyx. Breath escaped flared nostrils, buried beneath paws streaked in sand. His rather irrational dislike towards her had faded, a sense of jealousy that was born of contempt and a desire to keep Rhine for his own, mirrored in each child the legate deemed her own. Now all the remained, close kept only for she was familiar, a comfort in that alone if not a welcome presence.
From rest place head rose, a bright point in the gloom of shallow rain, a soft shower simply wasting the final drops before the grey above the only sign it had been. Curiosity arose, lodged in sage depths, brief their departure to look within. Unknown if any other lingered — rather clear his thoughts were upon Onyx, unwished her intrusion if she knew Rhine was about — the thought of being with the one he deemed his mother too much. Sand kicked up in his wake in the haste of departure, after bounding, light each step. His momentum slowed as her voice arose, apparent now she was not alone, though her chosen words made it seem this was a stranger. Or more, difficult to gauge numbers when he missed their own conversation.
Closer Foam stepped, hesitant now though too far had he come for turning back to seem a plausible idea. A pair. Strange they, almost owlish his widened eyes, numerous the times blinked as he looked to each. Almost a cotton ball the child, though ruined the image beneath clinging grains grown sodden, a sight amusing, smile easily arising. Slight the falter when another made their presence known, prior thoughts of Onyx once more rushing forth, shame a brief burn he suppressed. She was free to do as she wished, her increased activity with the warmth that came with spring making it a rather difficult to ignore fact, but, in that moment, he wished her gone.
Annoyance overtook his countenance for a moment as he stepped forth, between them Rhine, though about her did he lean with the comment put forth after her introduction. "Is a boat." Matter of fact his tone, though, if he were to be truthful, he spoke with little experience. The only other vessel he had seen had been metal, the hull torn open and within remains picked clean, a secret he knew now not to be such but still thought fondly of. "Or, at least, I think it is. Actually no, yep, it is, a boat." Quick his turn around, thoughts bouncing back and forth as he tried to prove he was better than Onyx though trivial this little fact that meant nothing.
"Oh, uh I'm Foam… well technically Foampaw, but I prefer just Foam." On he rambled without due cause, paw creating swirling patterns in the sand. Silent did he fall for a moment, lip caught between teeth and chewed, only released with a sudden upward flick of his chin. "Where did you come from." Hope largely given up on though this, a new avenue he may search, only ignited it, forgotten for a moment the true issue at hand.
