He hadn’t been here in a while and he found that regrettable as before he disappeared he was expecting children. Though he hadn’t meant to leave anyone behind he had just had an unexpected and unfortunate accident that involved him falling off a cliff and being swept out to sea. He had been lucky to survive the accident but when he washed ashore he was a long ways from Amaryllis. It had taken him a while to get back as well for he first had to figure out where he had ended up. Finally he was back. He had walked all night thought the passage and as the sun started to rise found himself on the ashen colored shore. Coming to a halt he stood there looking out at the sea as if daring it to take him away again.

There is salt and seawater in my blood

Long-limbed and gangly described the almost yearling very accurately. His blue fur was starting to show a stark contrast of sandy and white fur around his neck and chest. Hints of the mane he'd one day grow. Though at the moment it was mostly tufts of unruly sandy fur that stood out in all directions and would not be tamed to go in one direction no matter how much grooming was done. Not that he really cared, he was just proud he was even sprouting a mane fuzz? (what do we call lion peach fuzz?). It did make sense, he was a lion and lions grew manes. At least as far as Ban knew they did as he'd never seen a maneless individual before.

But today is not about manes, rather it's about sand and sunshine or the lack thereof. Winter was steadily approaching and the beach had a worrisome lack of warm sunlight to bask in even the sand felt cold against his toes. The blue dragon boy would almost pout as he ran his toes through the sand feeling the grains tickle against the skin between the didgits. However, it was a trail of pawprints nearby that caught his attention. Large and wide set. The boy sniffed them carefully but didn't recognize the scent that clung to the prints.

Banazir looked both along the path but also back from where it came. The passage, he'd say if he had to guess. Did that mean they were a newcomer? Curiosity grasped the blue boy as he set into motion following the prints, wondering who this lion was. Their scent seemed oceany, but that could be from just traveling along the shore for a prolonged period... right?

When the lion came into view before him the boy let out a call trying to alert the other to his mission of catching up... Which wouldn't be that hard as the brown lion had stopped and was looking out at the ocean. Banazir wouldn't recognize @Dagge as anyone but a stranger. Any memories of his missing father were nonexistent as the man had disappeared before the boy could remember. And he'd never really thought much of it, Mother and Aunti had been around to raise them as had their older brothers and the mire lions before they had to leave. "You think there are giant alligators or crocodiles out there?" The question is perhaps a bit random but it's the best thing the boy can think to ask. Besides he was genuinely curious about what had the man looking so seriously at the water.
