The heat was back in full force once the anomaly of snow in summer had passed. Oriana had never been the biggest fan of the cold, and so she was more than happy to wake up one morning with the white stuff on the ground had all but melted away. It had been some time since that day, and today the Miroslav decided to take to the beach to explore. Indigo eyes scan her surroundings, glancing at the ocean occasionally and becoming entranced by the waves. Her mind would wander when these times would happen, only for her to shake her head to bring her out of her own thoughts and continue down the shoreline.

Oriana would stop here and there to inspect washed up items, some were seashells and kelp and others were more interesting than the latter. Odd, round shapes that shone in the sun's rays was catching her attention, their opalescence causing for a brow to rise. A paw rises to scoop at the sand, cupping the rounded stone as she did so. She brings her paw closer to her face, eyes inspecting the item more closely. It brings forth a 'hmm' form the young lioness, keeping her fully engulfed by its uniqueness.

PYRRHA TOLLAIRE

There is an innate twist in her gut. Is what this young woman looking at shiny and valuable? A particularly unique shell perhaps or well preserved fish skull? I want it says a beast with a hint of greed. But fortunately Pyrrha is able to quell the green eyed beast snapping away at her mind. She could not clearly see what it was after all, if anything at all. And then there was the consideration that must be had if it was worth anything else she could gain simply by talking and engaging with this unknown member of her pride.

She watches for but a second from where she rounds a seagrass covered dune and spots the grey shape of @Oriana there. There is a beat of thought and then Pyrrha comes closer. Treasure Hunting? She asks with a bit of controlled excitement in her voice.

She's too consumed of inspecting the object in her paw that she didn't realize another had appeared. The words cause for her body to jump slightly, the round stone being dropped to the sand below where Oriana had scooped it up. "Oh, you scared me," the young woman's reply, a soft laugh encasing her words. Indigo gaze looks at the other, a glint of friendliness shimmering inside of them. "But yes, I guess you could call it that." The paw that was previously holding the stone waves in the general direction of the ocean, "A lot of cool things seem to get washed up." Oriana found it soothing to hunt for unique items, being able to decorate her den with what she finds, giving it a more roomy feel. "I'm Oriana." The Miroslav couldn't remember if she knew this one's name or not, so deciding to introduce herself would help her gain the knowledge of her name.

@Pyrrha ♔

Her strawberry features shimmer with a sea breeze kiss and the young lioness smiles- quick to nod and acknowledge her agreement that many cool things seem to get washed up here. "You have to wonder where they came from, what strange places they might have originated in " Be it the floor of the sea or some far flung shore. Each trinket was strange, made unique by the sea waters and gifted to Caladan.

"I'm Pyrrha, it's a pleasure." She formally and politely introduced herself, tipping her head in respect to the other but letting her eyes pointedly admire the treasure Oriana has already gathered with a hint of want. "Would you like to go hunting for more with me?" Taking this one might be rude but Pyrrha could always scavenge for others with some company. Either way she'd end the day with a trinket to call her own.

She often wondered herself where all these unique looking treasures had come from. She knew that the ocean was a powerful thing, being able to create and destroy in the blink of an eye. Was that the same for all these rounded rocks and shells that sparkled in the sunlight? Did the ocean create them, too? "Nice to meet you, @Pyrrha ♔," the Miroslav responds in kind, giving a friendly smile while watching where the other seemed to be looking. She was admiring her treasure, making Oriana wonder if she wanted it.

To be polite she was about to offer it to the yearling until she questioned if Oriana would like to accompany her to search for more. "Sure, that would be fun." Having company while scouring the beach for treasures sounded like a good way to spend her day. "How long have you been in Caladan?" Another way to gain more insight about her fellow pride members, too bad Oriana didn't know she was in the presence of royalty.

PYRRHA TOLLAIRE

She smiles wider as Oriana accepts. Two eyes would surely find treasures more quickly and have less chance of missing out on something. Pyrrha would have some new trinkets to admire this evening. And hopefully she would have a new friend of some sort to boot. You can lead if you like or I can. She gives the option, lions like choice didn't they?

I was born here, Sunder is my mother. So in totality maybe not that long. Only between a year or two. Some could have lived here longer and be born else where. Life has complicated ways of dragging one along. How long have you lived here?
