[PRP] Legs? No legs? What is this? ( Nox x Lumos)

[Cheyriddle4]

Nox had been swimming in the cool water for quite some time. Hunting fish and other smaller creatures. It has come to the point that he wouldn't mind basking in the sun for a little while. Though that involves him making his way onto the beach in the struggle that is only known to his kind. Then what if he gets too hot? He is all black! Yet.. he is tired and wants to rest for a bit.

So with a flick of his fins and movement of his body he makes his way towards shore. When he gets closer to the shoreline where the waves break with such ferocity that would make some tremble. He makes his way out to the shallows. Then starts to scoot his way up the sand. Grains of sand stick to his coat as he makes his way towards a spot by a rock. Settling in just the perfect spot. He lets out a bark or two. As if letting his pleasure be known before settling down to rest. What a life.

Lumos had been enjoying his day. He arose earlier in the morning than usual, determined to explore the lands as far as he could. His journey to discover his own path in life had taken him far from his family and it would take him further still. For the past few hours, he wandered aimlessly. Not caring which way he went so long as he didn't make circles. He quite liked days such as this. Nice, bright, sun shiny day with a gentle breeze wafting across his fur to cool him off. Yes, this was the life. Soon he would stop in search of a meal and something to drink. There were plenty of opportunities to do that around here it seemed.

Lifting his nose to the air, the young fox drew in a deep breath. A thousand scents filled his nostrils, each one tickling a different portion of his brain. But the one which caught his attention the most was that of water. An ocean, by the smell of it, lay somewhere close by to his left. Lumos would file that information away for later. Best to press on for now, though. He had only gone a few yards when an intriguing situation occurred. A quick staccato of barking, two in total, echoed among the trees. It was a strange bark. One that Lumos couldn't quite place. Yet it was certainly a bark. Ears perked forward curiously, the fox stood still for a moment, waiting to see if it would happen again. A moment of silence passed with no more barking to be heard.

Lumos was the inquisitive sort, however, and couldn't let the incident pass. He let out two quick barks of his own. Head cocked slightly to one side in hopes of pinpointing the location of the noise should a return call be sounded.

Nox was settling down now. The sand feeling warm underneath him and the sun warm on his dark skin. His ears pick up the sound of barking.. Wait... is someone barking back at him? Is there another seal around? It is sorta different though.. Yet he can't put his flipper on how it is different. Curious and with nothing else to do he lets out a few more barks. His upper body lifting with it and then settles down on the sand again. "Mmmm I wonder... "

There it is again! The barking that had drawn Lumos' attention sounded from his left, in the direction of the ocean. Curiosity peaked, he started towards the ocean and the barking. To make a new friend would be wonderful! He had left most of his friends and family behind when he decided to set out on his journey. If another fox were around, then he might be able to learn of the area, or perhaps even learn a few things about living out in the world. Whatever the case, Lumos found himself quickening his pace to see whom had called out.

Winding his way through trees and bushes, the fox finally emerged onto a sandy beach. Waves lapped up from the ocean in a calming, rhythmic pattern. Lumos took a moment to take in the scenery, his dark eyes absorbing the wonderful sight. As his eyes skimmed about, he took notice of a black shape hunkered down on the sand further away. It didn't look anything like a fox. Surely that is not the one who barked at me? He thought with furrow brow. Maybe if... Lumos released a softer bark to see what the other would do. If it barked back, then he knew he had found the individual. If it didn't, then he would have to keep searching. But something in him felt that the odd creature would indeed be returning his call.
