I wanna go back down and lie beside the sea

The beach is alluring, with the way the waves touch against the wet sand and curl away again, and Melchior could sit on the sand and read or write until his skin baked for all he cared. It isn't like his oak tree, his old private place for thinking, but nothing ever will be, he's starting to think. The beach is just as good though, in a different ( Read more... )

Ahimsa knew precisely where Aeneas was--at all times, it sometimes seemed to Quatre. Not that he wanted to established any particular motives to his half-wolf, but it did rather seem at times that whatever maternal instincts she was ever going to show had found a particularly fuzzy target.

"He looks happy," the boy remarked, standing a few feet away from Melchior with his hands in his pockets, watching the animals play.

He turns around, smiling at Quatre. "Aeneas?" Melchior shuffles through the sand to stand closer to Quatre, watching their dogs play together. "I think he is. He's very happy with our little family," he grins. "Ahimsa is a good mother for him."

Quatre shook his head with a smile. "She does seem to have taken to him, doesn't she?" he asked, warmed a bit by the words our little family.

"Oh yes," he agrees quickly, nodding. "I'm glad for that; Aeneas needs a positive dog figure in his life," he teases, grinning sideways at Quatre.

"Melchior, hello!" Fresh from a much needed walk to clear his head, Anatoly waved merrily at his young friend. "I haven't seen you in awhile, how are you doing?"

"Anatoly!" Melchior grins and waves back, taking a few steps toward Anatoly. "I'm well, thank you. How are--" Aeneas chooses this moment to follow after Melchior, but his footing in the sand is still unsure and he winds up scrambling over to the two men and flopping down between them. Laughing, Melchior scoops the puppy up and presents him to Anatoly. "I have made a new friend since we last met. This is Aeneas."

Anatoly laughed, reaching out to pet the enthusiastic puppy. "Hello, Aeneas. Aren't you an adorable thing?"

He looked over at Melchior, smiling. "Where did you find him? He seems a lovely friend."

"In the snow outside the Compound. Poor thing was shivering and cold. I don't know if he belonged to anyone but I wouldn't think so, since he's so tiny and small. I heard that people had been finding surprise presents from the Island, or something; I guess he was my present." He shrugs and scritches Aeneas's head with his finger. "Did you get anything?"
